Aston Villa v Arsenal Post Match Thread

[Matt C]

My word.

[SamTheMouse]

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

We're in a title race boys and girls.

What a team. What a manager.

[Legion]

Marvellous.

[villadelph]

what a fuggin week!

[curiousorange]

Absolute piece of piss, this league.

In many ways this is the best win for a long time. I know we were magnificent against Man City, but this Arsenal side is better than what we face in midweek, and we fucking ground it out despite looking knackered. Ability when we need it, heart and bottle when needed.

I take as much joy from a clean sheet as I do a hat-trick

[Chris_Jephcott]

What a week.

I saw these 2 fixtures at the start of the season and thought we’d be lucky to get 1 point.

We have 6 and 2 clean sheets.

The sky is the limit guys. Merson said that we should be considered title contenders if we beat Arsenal. We just did… it might be too much, too soon, but we are where we belong everyone. Villa are back, the sleeping giant is back on its feet!

I am over the moon.

[The Man With A Stick]

Aaaaaaaaaand breeeeeeeeathe

[Somniloquism]

Well this time last season, we saw the danger in injury time, but the players were also still naïve to Emery's full methods. Not this year.

[Stu]

Very nice. 4:30 am.

Time for a sake

3:30 here, hoping to get some sleep now but it seems unlikely!

[ExclDawg]

Oh my McGrath!!! What is this team I'm watching?? 6 points off Man City and Arse?! League had been put on notice.

[Le Lapin]

Get în!

[CorkVilla]

Not a fan of sweet Caroline. Other than that amazing.

[AV84]

I feel sick. Defending a 1 goal lead for 90 minutes is not for me.

We had some decent chances to score a second but we were a little off it today.

Not complaining at all, it's just hard to watch. After the result and especially the performance on Wednesday I'm not surprised we were a little tired today. Fantastic result off the back of Wednesday's game.
