Arsenal vs Aston Villa match thread

18 months away from champions league is laughable

There is a simple retort to that one.

[pauliewalnuts]

Good work, McPhee.

[Proposition Joe]

The way we have played so far makes me think that going in for the break just one goal down is a good result for us so far.

Going in 1-0 down is a fantastic achievement. Even 2-0 would be a positive given the way we played.

[Steve67]

What a shit free kick from McGinn.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Hope our form picks up by the FA cup run

[LukeJames]

What the fuck was that set piece

[pauliewalnuts]

I wonder if this is our bad half.

[Damo70]

SJM gets booked after his opponent has had a fistful of his shirt for two minutes.

Hope our form picks up by the FA cup run

Not sure a game counts as a "run".

[Risso]

To be clear, I am moaning about Buendia being shit, but I know hes not actually shit.
He is completely wasted in this formation and as a result his form is suffering and so is his confidence now.

You’re right Andy. There might be a good player in there and almost certainly is, but if he’s out of position he looks like Carles Gil’s weedier cousin.

[Aldridge Villa]

Some proper bed wetting going on here tonight

[Rigadon]

What the fuck was that set piece

A poor ball in

[cdbearsfan]

Uh oh. Penalty incoming.

[pauliewalnuts]

Jesus Christ. This will be insane.

[Forge10]

Fuck off Smith and take you set piece expert with you…

Appalling first half. Looks like Arse gonna get a penalty after the half time whistle.
