Aston Villa v Arsenal Post Match Thread

[LeeB]

I can't believe how much demand there apparently is for absolutely massive twats to sit in a gaming chair in their mum's spare room, filming themselves swearing as they watch the footy.

That Goldbridge twat, who appears to be some sort of Brummie Red to make things worse, is the absolute worst of them.

His real name is something stupid, too, can't remember what, but I recall thinking it's the sort of name you'd expect to find attached to an Arsenal Tarquin.

Isn't his real name Brent de Cesare? Which is actually an incredible name, why on earth would you go by 'Mark Goldbridge' if that was your name?

I thought Brent de Cesare was where Risso lives.

Lord Risso, 7th Earl of Brent de Cesare

I thought Brent de Cesare was where Risso lives.

If only Leicester was as exotic as that sounds.

"Clear handball by Matty Cash"

That's some major straw clutching right there from AFTV

"He practically grabbed the ball..."

Erm, no.

No, he didn't.

The ball hit his shoulder.

And the shoulder is not part of the handball rules...

[stevo_st]

He's right lads, time to pack it in. We just can't hope to compete on the erm, fan Youtube channels front.

Thought the 1982 season was pretty good, wonder why they missed that one out

The abiding memory of the Arsenal Villa game is going to be all the Villa fans leaving their ground saying how Arsenal were the best team they have faced not only this season but many a year.

The truth is that Villa didn’t win on Saturday, Arsenal lost. Lost because the team is up against not only an anti-Arsenal media, not only a team facing 115 FFP charges, but also seemingly now a PMGOL determined to give decisions against them no matter what. How could Havertz goal not be allowed to stand? How did Matty Cash stay on the pitch? How is it that Saka likes balls into his feet but the referees just wouldn’t allow the game to flow that way? I would call it a disgrace but that would be to understate it.

Also all the Villa fans giving it large at the moment baffle me. This is their first good season since 1981 and they are acting like they support Real Madrid. In that time Arsenal have won five league titles, gone invincible, become the one and only club to win the golden premier league trophy, won a record number of FA Cups, multiple Charity Shields, have more friendly trophies than any other team in the world, have come to have the biggest YouTube fan channel on the planet, have more Twitter aggregator accounts than any other team in world football, have a state of the art stadium with the most diverse match day crowd of any other club in the league and so much more. Meanwhile Villa have languished in mid table mediocrity, boast Gabby Agbonlahor as their greatest player of the modern era, been relegated and are now managed by an Arsenal reject. Justified arrogance is one thing, but delusions of grandeur quite another. Time for them to wind their neck in a little.

I think Grovebury needs therapy….the reason they have the biggest YouTube channel is because of the amount of opposition fans who subscribe to watch when they lose because that Gollum lookalike ranting is hilarious.

As for everything else the deluded halfwit spouts well it’s nonsense….Arsenal didn’t lose a game where they didn’t have a shot on target for the entire 2nd half…they spent 45 minutes with Rice trying to drive them on and the other attacking players trying to dive rather than score…got exactly what they deserved NOTHING

Seeing their bench not able to invade the pitch because they got a late goal was almost as satisfying and stopping Newton Heath doing it…

Yes, how dare Villa fans enjoy the moment after years of mediocrity.

Especially at the expense of one of the most overrated, entitled, arrogant, ignorant c**t-stain bunch of fuckwits on the planet in Arsenal.

"Please don't celebrate your record breaking 15 consecutive win at Villa Park that gives you a bit of breathing space sat in 3rd spot, you know, like we did when we beat you at Villa Park 16 games ago as if we had won the World Cup, because as a fanbase, we are more melty snowflaky than an ice-cube inside the centre of the sun..."

Bunch of c**ts....

God a comment like that really breaks my spirit. Imagine people for whom football is Twitter followers or vanity-tournament friendly trophies.

What does it mean 'act like we support Real Madrid'? Being happy? Optimistic? Because that's not Real Madrid. Being miserable with second, whining that opponents tackle you and sobbing conspiracy when you're not allowed to cheat is Real Madrid.

I've long thought Arsenal fans are overwrought fannies playing at being supporters until something new and shiny comes along, like fucking cereal restaurants, ice bars, hip hop bingo venues or shit like that.

Nothing I've seen since Saturday suggests I'm wrong.

Who was it said on here that they behave like they've read a guide to being a soccer fan, written by an American?

I think its because he started up his YouTube channel while still working for the Police. There's a suggestion that he's nit a Man Unites fan at all.

[PeterWithe]

Might have been me, I certainly think that.

The time when Saka got a tug fromDigne but was actually through on goal in the penalty area with the ball, now any right minded player would drive towards the goal and try to score.
What did Saka do, threw his arms in the air, stopped running to make sure he got the free kick and Digne booked.
Twat.

I wouldn't even fly out Emi, Konza, Watkins etc to Zrinjski, let them rest up at home. Top 4 has never been more achievable.

Me either, a complete 11 change for me.

Given we've already won the group qualified, I completely agree.

[Brend'Watkins]

I find it very hard to dislike Saka, he's getting a bit of stick on here for his antics which I didn't note that many of myself. I'd even go as far as saying there are no Arsenal players, with the exception of maybe Havertz in this team that I dislike which is very much in comparison to yesteryear when there would be plenty. Arteta is starting to become a bit of a tit as he tries to develop his managerial personality, it's not a good look. Those You-Tubers though are something else.  They're the sort who would drop their support at the drop of a hat if they were hovering around the bottom 3, you just know it.
