Arsenal v Abject Aston Villa Match Thread

[Villa in Denmark]

Is Black now officially TSM3?

I'd go for TMSM.

The Master Scottish Manager.

He's achieved mind f##king line ups and negativity that McLeish could only wet dream of.

[Villa in Denmark]

Grealish

I was asked at work, apropos of nothing - I had literally just sat down in my chair at work in the morning and I hadn't even turned my computer on - why did I think Grealish was a good player, because in that albion supporters opinion he was a crap player playing for a shit team.

I asked why Pulis can't get albion's best player to play and keeps benching him. The answer? We play pragmatic football, as you should if you want to stay in the Prem - no time for a luxury player. Either there has been a big, big change in attitudes down at the stripeys or they're suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.

Or whisper it quietly, they're actually a bunch of fickle ****** that would sell their grannies for 3 points when shit comes to shove.

Studs up on Westwood but no yellow card?!

Gayle is getting on my fucking nerves....it AYEW, not ARYEW

[supertom]

Wilshere being a gobby sod again.

Studs up on Westwood but no yellow card?!

Possibly because Westwood doesn't actually exist in any sort of physical form. He's a trick of the light.

Scott Sinclair. A player with a dodgy first touch and the next six get progressively worse.

[CJ]

Another corner!!!

Dick Avocado seemed to think Defoe was a luxury player that didn't really help Sunderland. Of course this is the same Defoe who, since Allardyce came in and decided the opposite, has kept Sunderland up.

Has Sinclair done anything today?

[supertom]

Has Sinclair done anything today?

He's put a few airholes in the turf...Not that much of the turf mind you, but a little bit of it. Other than that, no.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Has Sinclair done anything today all season?

Fixed.

[HolmesyVilla]

Woo hoo Richards on. Get into him Villa

[Villa in Denmark]

Has Sinclair done anything today?

Well I've only been watching since half time and he's had the ball twice where both times he's run himself into trouble with an awful combination of head down running and white technique.

Yay, richards is on, that's the only sub we'll see before the 86th minute.
