Arsenal 0-2 Aston Villa Post match interaction

[kippaxvilla2]

Man City was a more complete performance from us, restricting them to only 2 shots all game. However, this one feels better, given the recent form of both sides, that we were away, and that it was today!

Carlos was a titan in the ManC game too.

Don’t forget the second of their 2 shots came in the 17th minute.

11th.

Just got home. Results like this are even better when they’re absolutely not expected. WHAT a result! On to Thursday! UTV

Arsenal fans are the worst thing on the internet.

Their online fanbase is just fucking awful.

Just home.
The Arsenal fans considering they are challenging for the title were so ridiculous shite. 
Not one proper song the whole game.
Just the occasional Arsenal Arsenal

I will say that after years of being utterly shit it's rather splendid to be debating which fantastic performance is better.

Yes.

[eamonn]

Arsenal fans are a good bunch, but this feels GOOD.

Are they? More like a bunch of goofs

That is a thing of beauty

'Leon Bloodclart Bailey!!!' - I'm howling at that.

This is comedy gold. Over-privileged tossers in full-kit-wanker mode with their self-important microphones for no-doubt another podcast on Arsenal that no one demanded.

I know we all go nuts on the match-thread in reaction to what is happening both good and bad, but I would hate to see Villa fans doing this kind of sad shit.

Special shout-out for the lad with the sound-effects button of fans cheering when a goal is scored - he had the respect to press it for both Villa goals!

Off to bed knackered just thinking about the performance

Man City was better, but this is a close second. No one outplays Man City like we did that day.

For rating them, a factor between that match and today. Then, we had as full a strength side (barring Emi2 and Mings obviously) where they were missing quite a few obvious first teamers, including Rodri, and we were playing at Fortress VP. Today we were missing a shitload more key players and I think Arse were pretty much full strength and playing down there.

They were missing Rodri KDB and Cyborg. It was brilliant but today is on a par for me given their form and being full strength and we were a bit depleted .

They had Cyborg, he just couldn't be found until Konsa emptied his pockets. Doku and Grealish were the other absentees at the time, although common knowledge was the latter deliberately got suspended to miss the match.

Konsa was playing right-back that night. It was Carlos who marked Cyborg out of the game.

Just watching the highlights there and to be fair to Arteta, they did have 4 really good chances in the first half. Jesus and Saka both went for goal and hit the side netting when they should have cut it back across the goal, Martinez made that amazing save, and then Saka had a good shot that just went wide. Not saying they should definitely have scored all 4 of them, but it's not an exaggeration to say they could have had 3 or 4 in the first half.

Well do me sideways. I wasn’t expecting that.

Zaniolo played really well today in holding the ball up. Everybody played well, second half in particular, but I felt he really added a lot to the way we played. We defended well, but there was a nice calmness to the way we played I'm our build up. We seemed confident and that confidence grew, on the way we executed everything we did.

Superb save from Emi first half, but he didn't have much to do and I felt they quite quickly ran out of ideas. Thankfully that coincided with that irritating drum ceasing. They're such a cringey bunch of Tarquins.

We had more bottle and belief in what we were doing too. That giant lightweight Havertz just didn't get close to Digne and boom, great cross for *checks notes* our centre half Torres to attack near post and then Bailey slots very neatly home.

Quite comfortably the most mental an away end has gone this season. Absolute explosion of nutty joy! Ollies' 2nd was fantastic and made it so much more enjoyable. Great scenes and noise, it was just a superb day allover.

I have no idea how Tielemans or Ollies' shots stayed out either.

Made sure I sat by some northern Arsenal Tarquins on the back, because I'm that kind of dickhead.

I couldn't listen today, kept on sneaking a look and was surprised every time it was goalless. Risked a quick listen just as we scored, then went back into stealth mode before another quick look at 2-0.

Massively enjoyed swerving the whole thing. Brilliant win.

And has Arteta always been such a mardy little arse, or is he just following the trend? In a crowded field I think he's my most disliked opposition manager.

[Hopadop]

Of course you can enjoy it nearly as much by going to the game, like Ads above.

[VillaTim]

Hard to give a MOTM they were all superb . If I had to choose it's Martinez , a world class save and he sets the tone from the back. Calm , confident , a true winner .

The form Arsenal have been in, getting that result without our first choice holding midfielders Kamara and Luiz. It’s a massive effort from all involved considering Arsenal had extra days to prepare too.
