Aston Villa v Arsenal Post-Match Thread

[olaftab]

Even if our season comes off the rails, Buendia's goal will probably go down as one of the most memorable moments I've ever witnessed at Villa Park, and its hardly the greatest goal, but everyone in the ground just lost their minds! I've probably seen it more times this weekend from various angles than Peter Withe's goal in Rotterdam!
And people actually left early near me to beat the traffic!

As glorious as it was I am not sure this will be a memorable  moment for me, not anymore as a one off I want more. What I liked about the winner was that we bludgeoned them in the last 10 minutes to score the goal. It was the sort of goal brilliant teams get against plucky fighters or relegation material but we did it against the formidable League leaders. We went looking for it we were brave and we got it.

Welcome Back BE

Cheers! I was supposed to be off the pop for two weeks as of today but I had to go into my local to gloat. Ended up having a couple. wanted to share with you so asked ChatGPT to write the usual adaptation of Bjørge Lillelien's legendary commentary.

This is what Grok came up with.

ASTON VILLA! ASTON VILLA FC!
We’ve beaten them! We’ve beaten them all!
We’ve beaten Arsenal!

And you Arsenal fans!
You hipster Gooners in your flat-pack Islington flats, sipping oat-milk lattes and crying into your £120 replica shirts!
You TikTok tacticos who think football began in 2004!
You “In Arsène We Trust” merchants still waiting for the second coming!
You Emirates tourists who clap when the big screen tells you to!
You “North London is red” merchants who’ve never been north of Watford Gap in your lives!
You Piers Morgan! Yes, YOU Piers Morgan, screaming at your telly in your Sussex mansion – stick that on Good Morning Britain tomorrow, you absolute helmet!

Mikel Arteta! Bald Fraudiola! Your “process” just got absolutely processed!
Declan Rice – £105 million pounds for a slightly posh Scott Parker!
Martin Ødegaard – the Norwegian prince who plays like a frightened librarian!
Gabriel Jesus – more missed chances than a blindfolded darts player!

Aston Villa are the kings of the Midlands!
Kings of England!
Kings of Europe!
Birmingham is claret and blue tonight!
Up the bloody Villa!
We’ve beaten them all! We’ve beaten them ALLLLLL!»

(Unashamedly delivered in the style of a slightly drunk Brummie who’s just seen Emery masterclass his old club into next week.)

P.S. Welcome back BE, the grammar's gone to pot in your absence.

Seems we have all forgotten that the Illustrous Leader of Reform-Lite is an Arsenal fan.

Not all of them, he only likes their right wingers.

Copilots version

“YES! YES! YES! Aston Villa have done it! We’ve beaten Arsenal! We’ve beaten the mighty Gunners at Villa Park! The Holte End is shaking, the Midlands is roaring, and the Emirates is in ruins! Idris Elba, cry into your scarf! Daniel Kaluuya, your Oscars won’t save you now! Benedict Cumberbatch, no multiverse can undo this! Jay-Z, your empire just fell in Birmingham! Lewis Hamilton, even you can’t overtake this glory! Piers Morgan—oh Piers—start typing, the world is waiting for your tears! And listen to this… Unai Emery, the man you cast aside, has returned as your reckoning! The Good Ebening has become the Great Evening! Aston Villa stand tall, kings of the Midlands, conquerors of the celebrity Gooners! Arsenal—Arsenal are humbled!”

[olaftab]

Martin Keown! Piers Morgan! Ian Wright! Nick Hornby! King Olav of Norway! Can you hear me, Arsenal? Can you hear me, Piers Morgan?! Your boys took one hell of a beating! Your boys took one hell of a beating! Aston Villa have done it with the very last kick of the game! History at Villa Park! What a night, what a finish, what a footballing funeral!

If you like, I can also:

Write a longer, minute-by-minute radio climax, or

Adapt it in a TV-commentary style,

Or tune it to be funnier, angrier, or more poetic.

No need, it’s just good to hear from you🙂

Buendia’s goal in slo mo on the Villa website is just fantastic!!!!!!!

[martin o`who??]

It'll never beat Dion Dub's at the Holte after we'd gone two-nil down. Absolute fucking carnage.

Regan's commentary on the official Villa commentary is something precious for the Buendia goal.

To all the people giving credit to TNT for the silence after the goal and just leaving the sound of the crowd, Keown on Talksport today said they were waiting for the VAR check to finish. And hoping for a reason for it to be disallowed most likely.

Yes, I absolutely love that. He does his job well while remaining a fan.

I kind of stated they were probably speechless their faves had lost but it was a good decision not to speak for whatever reason. (Not that a VAR check has ever stopped anyone before commenting on a goal).
