Arsenal vs Aston Villa match thread

[Rigadon]

This is utterly, utterly shit.  WHERE WERE OUR DEFENDERS ON THAT REBOUND?  Fuck off.

[Bad English]

Some proper bed wetting going on here tonight

This aged well.

[TonyD]

I think we will be seeing the last 45 mins of Dean managing us.

[ozzjim]

Worst display since Watford? Or last ten against Wolves?

Never a pen, brilliant dive from Lacazette who has done it all half, but we deserve to be 6 down not 2.

Smith out. Times up. Board need to show some balls and show that they will make the tough calls to keep us moving forward.

[Risso]

I hope the team give Smith fucking pelters at half time, the useless fucking wanker.

[Proposition Joe]

Utter, utter, utter, utter, utter, utter fucking garbage that half. As bad as anything in our first season back, rivalling 2016.

[andyh]

Disgraceful 45 minutes. That’s not down to Arsenal being brilliant, it’s down to us being shambolic. A non existent midfield and allowing them acres and acres of space all over the pitch.

[wince]

Did the ref blow for half time before the pen?

[AV82EC]

An absolute abomination from start to finish.

[SamTheMouse]

I'm not one for hyperbole, but that half was embarrassingly poor.

The fact that Smith hasn't changed anything already suggests he's simply not good enough. It really isn't rocket science and there's no excuse for it.

[Goldenballs]

Useless sack of ******.

Who's getting sent off then? The favourite has to be either Mings for a sloppy miskick then a tug back, or McGinn getting frustrated and taking someone out. I can also see Cash coming flying through someone for a straight red.

[ez]

How can he not see what's happening.

[Jon Crofts]

I’m going for 5-0 here. At least.

[N'ZMAV]

This reminds me of when we went to Anfield under Houllier.

[Big Ming]

Looks like Smith has stopped moving us forwards as a Club.

I think the owners will be sounding out someone with a bit more tactical nous, come Monday.
