Aston Villa v Arsenal Post Match Thread

[AV84]

We were definitely gassed after about 10 minutes.  I'm hoping we play the B Team midweek and give these guys a deserved rest.  But, OH MY.

We could probably play Diaz and Digne, unless they're exhausted, they'll have next weekend off now.

When did we sign Diaz?

Oops. My befuddled brain has combined Dougie and Luiz there, I think.

[Toronto Villa]

It’s unbelievable just how far we have come. 

[Somniloquism]

I was ok with not winning today as I honestly thought it would be a step too far. But fuck it, and fuck them, and fuck the card happy referee, we have won 15 straight at home.

An added bonus is that they will be losing their shit on AFTV tonight 😂😂😂

Glorious - obviously a lot more shaky than our imperious performance the other night but we gritted it out. I thought Pau and DC were outstanding.

In fairness to the ref, he made an absolutely brilliant decision with their disallowed goal. In real time that can't have been easy to see, and I don't think VAR would have overturned it if it had been given

I'm getting a bit misty eyed here, and it's not all down to the Vinsobres.

It's been thirty years since I've felt this optimistic about the Villa. Three decades of grudgingly accepting second best or worse, and finally, finally, I'm properly dreaming again.

Thank you Unai, you wonderful man.

This team is capable of every type of win.

They can smash Brighton.

They can play MC off the pitch.

They can scrape one against Arsenal.

They can come back from behind against Spurs.

[JD]

Fuck off back to London you bunch of whiny, entitled cheating little pricks, of all of those 15 wins that one is my favourite, fuck the wankers.

Paul, you are a poet my friend. Sums up exactly as I feel as well.

[PaulWinch again]

Subs all made a strong impact - Pleased for Den, he was much more mobile than I’ve seen before.

[Toronto Villa]

For those of us who have been on this place for a good while, and been through some fucking miserable weeks and post match threads, this really feels rather brilliant doesn’t it?

[Somniloquism]

Was there anything special done for Benjamin Zee apart from the three point tribute?

[Chap]

10 pts from the last four games, who’d have thought!😁👍

[Taylor]

Just an aside. Matty Cash did well when he came on. Hope Leon is ok.

[AV84]

10 pts from the last four games, who’d have thought!😁👍

And the dropped points being at Bournemouth!
