Arsenal 0-2 Aston Villa Post match interaction

[VILLA MOLE]

Unai said we the fans had something to do with it 💪

Sour grapes/deflection from Arteta - four goals or more better in the first half? Didn't sound like it. Anyone got the xG?

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, speaking to Sky Sports: "Two very different performances. The first half was superb, one of the best halves we have played against a top team. It should have been three or four - or more.

"We didn't put that score line up and didn't reflect that second half. We lacked momentum. We didn't have the flow we had in the first half and then we conceded two very, very poor goals.

"Credit to them, in the second half we were a bit unprecise with the ball, we weren't able to do what we did in the first half. In the end we lost it so we have to congratulate them on the points."

Just seen a great video of Heath Ledgers Joker walking away from the exploding building except its Emery superimposed over the top instead. "Unai leaves Arsenal in tatters." V funny.

Well don't just describe it, link it!

A bit more like it from Deco:

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice, speaking to Sky Sports: "It's tough, really tough to take.

"Especially with the chances we had in the first half, the spaces there was. We had to take one of them because in the Premier League, teams will come back to bite you and hurt you.

"That's what Villa did in the second half."

"We've been so dominant in games but Villa have got some unbelievable players, technically unreal and Ollie up front is a constant goal threat.

"If you can't win games of football, don't lose. Look up at the clock with 15 to go and it's 0-0, if you aren't going to win then you take a point, especially in these situations.

"So to lose is a real kick in the teeth."

Absolutely fcking brilliant! Great weekend with Spuds getting mashed and Villa putting in THAT performance. It ain’t very often you get to screw both Arse and Spuds in the same weekend is it. Oh happy day!

That last paragraph squeezed like lemon juice out of a cat's arse.

Arsenal had an xG of 1.6 which Trossards chance probably equates for about 0.9 of that. That was a truly incredible save from Emi but not sure how Trossard gave him the chance

I know C115y at home was as good as we’ve played in a long time but was this, dare I say, better?

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

Zaniola had a great game gave us much needed physical presence and today the ball stuck to him. Ogdegard was good for them I was glad he limped off. Didin't even know £100m Rice was on the pitch. Fantastic performance and result.

[olaftab]

Oh and kudos to Kolo Touré who continues to talk up the Villa on Sky when everyone else pretends we weren’t even involved in then game.

Exactly what I said in a post earlier and Merson the twat is being an arse.

That's a tricky one. This one feels bigger because of the context, but the City performance was truly dominant.

Rice was fried.

I suspect he’s having to pick between his two favourite children tonight which is tough. He genuinely likes the Villa but understandable he’s bias towards Arsenal

They had a nailed on penalty turned down though......didnt see it myself but i reckon Arteta did

He admitted he didn't see it because he didn't have his Arsenal glasses on
