Arsenal v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

Great half, we've sprung them down the middle loads of times. Onana has had a magnificent half, destroying, nicking ball, and surging forward runs!

[Nunkin1965]

I don't know what anyone else thinks but we're proving were in the title race with that performance so far.

[Matt C]

Very disciplined first half performance from everyone.

[Toronto Villa]

In today’s market with quite average players going for £50M, Onana starting to look a very good deal for us.

[TonyD]

Sounded like the Arsenal fans booed them off.

[Smirker]

OMG DUA LIPA IS THERE I LOVE HER

She's not all that, you could do better.

She's the one for me.

Decent half btw.

[CT Villan]

Very good first-half, controlling the game well.

The ref is giving them pretty much everything too.

Now go on and win it in the 80th minute

[BoVillan esq]

More about manager tactics than the teams, Villa, measured, deliberate but with chances, Arsenal control of the midfield but not overloading the attack as Chelsea did, think we are going to see a very different 2nd half.   

[Mister E]

he didnt hit the ball from the right place and booked rogers  what a wanker

All teams do it, mate

[Rudy65]

Ref is giving them everything.
What a bunch of whingeing wankers. Expect more histrionics from the poor little hard done to twats.

Thought the ref had been good for us. Our boys staying down to slow things up

[AlexAlexCropley]

Superb stuff.We were the calm,measured side.Arse the stressed,dirty one. Defo a winnable game here.As long as the ref stops trying to be a tv star.

I didn’t know she was a Villa fan.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Great first half. Nice to hear that the crowd are getting frustrated with us. A little bit more belief in and around the box and we’d be ahead.

[garyellis]

A great effort and performance for the first half.
All about being brave and they have been
We’ve had the best of the chances for me.

[Rigadon]

We’re a better team than these and they know it.
