Aston Villa v Arsenal Post-Match Thread

[rob_bridge]

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!

82 min mark people go.
Never understood it.....then again the ground was half empty on 82 against Palace

Palace Sunday night with poor public transport.

This was mid afternoom finish in run up to Christmas

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.

I was sent this earlier. Maybe it should be passed on to Keown. Not safe for work…..

It was a victory that we will talk about for many years and I loved it, inventing a sense of injustice because of what (checks notes) Martin Keown may have said doesn't change that.

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.

Yep, even Arse fans couldn't believe that decision for MotM.

Martin Keowns commentary during the game was so biased it was laughable.
He gave the MOTM to Odegaard around the 86th minute, Prince William called him out on twitter, and the other commentators pulled him up on it after the match during their "on pitch" analysis.
He laughed it off, but you could see he was gutted we'd won.
I've learnt to live with us being unpopular, but decisions going against us, especially away from home against the media darlings could be costly in a race to get CL football.

To be fair it is for us to disprove the flash in the pan theory as quite honestly this has been more or less the case now since 1982.

Listening to Talksport this morning.

Should've used his loaf.

See, that's where you made your bloomer.

Yes.  Rage clicks and calls r us.  I have no idea why anybody would ever listen to it. 

[VILLA MOLE]

Not one to defend Keown as he is ridiculously biased at times, However Odegard in the second half got them going again.  But the Tielemans was great throughout
