Aston Villa v Arsenal Post Match Thread

Davis will come good and score goals for fun next season. 

He needs to put away his chances now. He's had excellent opportunities lately and fluffed all of them.

Tonight one is the sort of chance that a striker who's scored a few recently takes with ease but someone struggling for goals overthinks it. He needs to work at his finishing but he offered much more of a threat than Samatta in my opinion, making a few really good runs to either get the chance or create space elsewhere.

What can i say other than i told you Arsenal would get the pre-wembley wobbles.

Well they can bloody snap out of it now for Sunday.

hear hear!

Most unusual sight of the night, (apart from Aston Villa 1 Arsenal 0).

A player tucking his shirt in his shorts...Arsenal fullback.
Respect.

My 9 year old daughter erupted in floods of tears at the final whistle such was the relief from the intensity and pressure of the game. I think I may have got some dust in my eye too !

My lads only 3 so has no idea but I long for the day when he is this invested. You know you’re in for the long haul when your emotions with the Villa display themselves like that

[saunders_heroes]

Phew, what a result. More of this on Sunday, please.

ha, as always its what we do,  We could have easily put in a performance that even a half-assed Arsenal could have dealt with.

I refuse to relax until we're definitely staying up!

[PaulWinch again]

Right Villa win the game Sunday. Arsenal react please and batter Watford.

Davis has the strength to be a very good centre forward but he badly needs coaching. Credit to their goalie who's positioning was perfect leaving no angle Davis should have hit through him. Didn't watch the last ten minutes, at my age that much anxiety is a definate no no.

BBC Sport saying that's the 1st time since we played the Albion in January 2016 that our opponents haven't had a shot on target in a game

I don't think there was anything half-arsed about them, we were the better team and made it really tough for them to find any space.

[exiled on the wirral!]

Probably stupid, but I realised we won tonight when Guilbert gave a clenched fist after winning a goal kick. That's when I thought, we've got this. One last push Villa Boys!!

Come on, they were pisspoor.  Having said that, it had no bearing on how well we played.  The best team by miles.

Brilliant result, and performance.  Probably the most nervous I've been watching a match on TV since the Fulham play-off final.

Before the Liverpool game, with 6 games to go, I said the best we can probably hope for is to go to West Ham knowing a win would keep us up.  Three games ago that didn't look likely at all - but knowing it's in our hands is massive.

Play like we did tonight, and we'll be fine.

Surely there'll be some sort of backlash from Arsenal against Watford - they can't play like that two matches on the bounce before a cup final.... can they?

Amazing what you can do when you only concede 1 goal in 3 games.

Tighten up at the back, innit.
