Arsenal v Abysmal Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Steve67]

There are so many things to be put right with this club.  Injured players to heal, pre-season to be co-ordinated, players to be released, bought etc.  No-one in charge to oversee it. The new Manager is going to come in to a right proper mess.  He'll also probably find Paddy Riley sitting in his office on Fifa 16, looking through statistics to see who me might sign!!  What a shambles the club has become.

Did we replace our chief German and Iberian scouts when we found out they were a surfer dude the other side of the world and a kid at school?

We have no idea what the close season will bring, either good or bad. We have no idea what next season will bring either. The only thing that has struck me since I  started taking notice of such things a few months back is that standards in the championship are not high.

How did Newcastle suddenly become Europe's third best team on the strength of one result? They still have Ashley running the place, so either a) it is possible for a shit owner to make an inspired managerial appointment given enough attempts, and the rest is easy or b) they are still just as shit this week as they were 7 days ago and are no more likely to prosper than us.

I think we promoted them

looking at us today, you know when you get a team from a league or three below playing a high placed prem club and they look outclassed and go down 3 or 4 nill

Villa arnt even like that they are worse,
 even the lower league club have a go, they cause a few problems here and there, they bust a gut , they create some chances
Villa don't, they are just fucking useless,

They go a whole games after games without having a half decent chance of busting the net,
It's clueless stuff, it beggars belief, everything they conspire to do breaks down because they are so crap at playing football

They are a shower of unremitting shit, an embarrassment that do not belong on the same field as other professional footballers

I was proud to be among the Villa fans today, they are quality and that will remain no matter what league we play in
But the team is the worst I've seen in my lifetime, and my first match was in the old 3rd division

[martin o`who??]

I bet the likes of Rotherham, Wigan, Burton, Huddersfield etc are terrified at the prospect of having to play Villa twice next season.

Yes the Directors will be worried how they can afford all the scoring and win bonuses they will have to pay out.

[Walmley_Villa]

Didn't Jolean, Micah and Leo throw their shirts to the fans at the end? No???

For people who were at the game was there trouble with stewards? I've just seen someone say they were punched in the face

I kind of envision Pearson walking into the club in something akin to that scene in The Terminator where Arnie blitzes through a police station. Maybe I've watched too many games this season.

We travel forward into next season more in hope than expectation but it can be done. Surely we couldn't be any worse from top to bottom as a club if we tried ?

I saw one pissed up bloke asked to leave.

the stewards could have clamped down on the inflatables and conga if they'd wanted to but, from what I saw, they just let the Villa fans get on with the gallows humour.

Stewards were generally ok. There were signs in the away end warning that there were no inflatables allowed - because they are obviously highly dangerous - and no beer on sale either.

We can but hope.

Just seen the goals on MotD. Fuck me. I would have scored Giroud's first and third goals - he hardly had to move and he was in 10 yards of space, because our clowns were ball watching. We made it so easy for him.

I dunno about the Championship, we would struggle to beat a half decent pub team defending like that.

[KevinGage]

We can't compete with the Dog and Ducks of this world.
