Aston Villa v Arsenal Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Fuck me. Pepe close

[SoccerHQ]

Jack should've played in Ollie there, Barkley never convinces finishing off counters.

[PaulWinch again]

Come on Villa get the second.

[Risso]

Phew. Too close for Arsenal.

[Bobby Boy]

McGinn is running on empty. Already.....

A match thread is just the online version of the shit that's chatted by those around you at the match.  Spontaneous and either overly enthusive or overly negative.  You don't follow this for considered, reasoned opinion.

@Edvard Remberg  how much does Berkeley trouser for twatting it into the upper Holte?

[PaulWinch again]

That was too easy.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Bloody hell!

[Risso]

What a player Cash is, brilliant.

[jwarry]

We are pressing higher up the pitch and so Barkley is getting more of the ball

[Toronto Villa]

Nice shot for SJM. Good save

[Chris_Jephcott]

Anyone moaning about the comments during a match thread really does need to step back and think about how seriously they are taking things.

“I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them”

[JUAN PABLO]

[Toronto Villa]
