Arsenal v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Smithy]

Garcia bottled that near the half-way line.  Shocking defending.

What a shit night at the office.

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

GD taking a hammering. got to shut up shop now

[PhilVill]

Maybe not the game to bring Garcia on to be honest.

[rob_bridge]

Occasionally we have one of these nights.
How we respond next2 games will tell us a lot

[TonyD]

We have been awful this half. 

[baddowvillans]

So it all revolves around Merino gets away with murder.  We need to know our place

[BoVillan esq]

At this rate we may as well go off for an early bath and let Arsenal get on with it. We are lost in a fog.

[olaftab]

We had a goal difference before tonight

[Proposition Joe]

I mean, they struggled to beat Wolves, why did we decide to make it so easy for them?

[PeterWithesShin]

We've given up and are bringing the kids on.

[JUAN PABLO]

Even Youri having a  mare

[Toronto Villa]

We’re going to lose and still be 9 points clear of 6th spot. We have just gone through the worst part of our schedule. We will come back from this.

[andyh]

We seem to have forgotten how to play football.
We are like a boxer who is being battered on the ropes.

[PaulWinch again]

I thought this would be very tough and so it’s proven. A really bad second half.

[Stu]

Eh, it happens. Way too many important players out, not enough depth in the squad to cope with it because we’re not allowed to spend any money. Arsenal needed to win this and they have loads of players.
