Aston Villa vs Arsenal Match Thread

It's strange sitting here waiting for how many goals they are going to wing by.... Not sure why I don't go home to the warmth!

Saw quite a few leaving from P6.

How does Lerner catch no flack at the matches?

I know, where's the "SACK THE BOARD" and "RANDY LERNER, WHAT A WANKER" chants!? At least let him know something is wrong because he probably still think's we're in the top four.

God forbid that anyone should blame that thick twat. Careful too, not to make it personal. It is only after all your beloved Villa he's fucked up. He's really quite a nice chap too by all accounts and he doesn't mean it.

we could possibly end up the worst PL side ever. time now for new faces - it can't get any worse so let's be seeing Adama & Co 2nd half.

That was as shocking as it gets. Weak defensively and non-existent in attack. Gestede is so out of his depth. I'd prefer to see Gabby leading the line. Sinclair runs around a lot but isn't a footballer. Ayew at least seems to care but he's no real threat.

In their defence it's not as if we're giving them much service. Far too much still going down the right to Hutton, who's having a stinker today. We have the best crosser in the side on the other side but Bacuna isn't getting to see much of the ball and when he does he looks to pass it back.

We look like a team playing in quicksand.

Newcastle and Bournemouth the past two weeks have been in their faces and fought for everything and got the crowd onside. Therein lies the difference. No fight, no passion, no leadership. Down by March.

We weren't doing too badly until the penalty. Heads didn't half drop afterwards, and that is the biggest problem Garde has.

Walcott got past Hutton far too easily and couldn't hit the ground hard enough when he felt hands on him. Still Hutton's fault for doing it in the first place but I would like to see that alongside the incident against Manu where Richards took the mother of all gropings at a corner and got nothing.

Arsenal look pretty ordinary, but that is all they need to be. It's annoying.

We were 2 0 at HT 17 years ago...........

I'm not angry watching this, just sad.

It's like watching a boxer still fighting that should have packed it in years ago and now gets picked off with ease.

All a bit Roy Jones Jr I agree.

What makes me sicker than anything is the descriptions that pop up every now and again during and after a game from the official site on Facebook. It's as if we're always somehow unfortunate or plucky. Or there's a suggestion we're playing well. It's the sort of shitty rose tinted, "it's all okay" view that seems to permeate through the whole club from the top down, as if this is somehow okay. Players don't raise their game and seem to believe they're earning their crust.
It's sickening.

Just once I'd like to see a post from the official site simply state..."What the fuck is this shit?"
