We’ll have a great choice of midfielders next season when JJ, emi2, kamara are all back.

We'll still need a spare DM to get through the mucky stuff next year, with Kamara likely sidelined for a fair chunk of next season.

Someone with the workrate of Nakamba. But far more quality on the ball, obv.

That's a worry for another day, mind.

Absolutely cracking second half. Given our missing players, I really think this was our best performance of the season. After seemingly going off the boil in 2024, this performance has come at precisely the right time. 3 more wins will hopefully clinch the elusive 4th spot for us.

Rice always seems decent enough to me.

He is a fantastic player and like you say he’s decent too. Considering our injuries I thought we’d really struggle in the midfield, but if anything we grew into the game. That’s a massive achievement against this Arsenal team. The form they have been in has been so good and they have swept so many sides aside with ease.

Amazing performance.

Bailey was fantastic once he came on. Made his goal look easy .

Just landed from Cloud Cuckoo Land. An unbelievable performance and a thoroughly deserved win. 10/10 to everyone.

My neighbour, Arsenal fan, popped in at full time and was gracious in defeat. Reckons we beat them psychologically and Unai played a blinder.

Unai knew Arsenal were desperate for a win and the longer the game went on without a goal the more they would panic. We slowed the game down whenever possible and played on their mental fragility. They completely lost their shape and we tore them a new one.

A masterclass. We are always capable of scoring and bided our time until the Arses bottled it and fell apart.

Completely ruined Man U, Spuds, Geordies weekend as well. A bonus.

Well done Unai and the lads, sorry I ever doubted you.

An outstanding performance. Let's remember that Arsenal since Christmas have played 11 Premier League games, winning 10 and drawing at Man City. They have been scoring for fun and only conceded 4 goals in that run. They had a full team out and an extra day's rest after Europe. To top it all, they had the motivation of the Liverpool loss to Palace.  Villa meanwhile were without Luiz, Kamara, Ramsey and long term injured Mings and Buendia.
Every thing pointed to a comfortable home performance.....step forward Mr Emery. The way he prepares the team, tweaks tactics mid game and motivates and develops his players is truly remarkable. A masterclass.

Torres and his unintentional dummy had a big hand in that first goal. I thought it was Watkins who had missed the ball at the time but he drew in all the defenders and the keeper to the near post and then they were scrambling.

Might not have all been wins, but the season when Tom Ross had his cockney rant (when Townsend was captain), I thought that was because we were unbeaten in the capital.
