chrispelvis, I watched the same match you watched. I think there is so much hyperbole when Arsenal play. Please explain why we were lucky to go 2-0 up. The team created the chances and put them away. What has luck got to do with that?

===============================

I think all he means is that, had Villa's finishing been more accurate rather than hitting the woodwork, it would have been a different scoreline.

Arsenal showed why they're a top side as they were clinical and took their two chances excellently. Could have had a third when Van Pervie hit the woodwork as well.

Taking goal-line clearances and woodwork it could have been more like 5-3 by early in the second half. But them's the breaks.

===============================

Well if that's what he means isn't that what we have been saying about Arsenal all along. Using this logic Arsenal should be the defending Premiership champions.

not dissapointed or surprised we let the lead slip last night, only that which you have faith in can let you down as they say. From the commentators, to the crowd, we all saw it coming, I wasn't even upset. How Arsene could claim we had 'too many players defending' for the equaliser was a joke. We should have been three up and out of sight in the second half, having said that, when we scored the 1st, it was almost embarassing as we had been absolutely murdered in the 1st half, besides the chances, we couldn't keep it, pass it or anything. 1st 25 mins of the 2nd half we were beautiful, that Diaby goal was a peach, and we were majestic after that, then Gallas gets caught with the same kind of ball that Keane scored from on Sunday and it was a clear pen. Well played Villa!

At the end of it all, no Villa fan can bemoan 4 points against Arsenal in 1 season, especially when our home record against them is poor.

Bring on United

I meant it could have been 5-3 to Villa at that stage so, using that logic, not really defending champions material.

It'll take time but Arsenal will rebuild and come good again. 10 points behind the leaders isn't the usual Arsenal form after 19 games.

Could just do without some of the WUM Gooners coming on here talking kak. The more open minded ones are very welcome. I'm looking forward to the challenge for the CL places.

Imbwa do not just talk for the sake of it. You must be the only one not to agree we were out played especially the first half and the last 25 minutes. Overall, Villa were the better team. But the again being better doesn`t win you things I agree.

Stop wearing rose tinted glasses and see the truth. I am a Gooner who probably goes to games more than you will ever do in your life. The current team is no where near the temas we have had in the past. Wenger messed up things. Aside with the stadium issue. He thought he would prove people wrong by wining with kids. Honestly how do you justify Wilshire replacing a person who is supposed to be our best holding midfielder?

Learn to be realstic, we are supposed to be a big club. May be I am being over ambitious.

I have said on here that I wont blame Cesc when he goes next year. Chances are a few other players would want to go and win things. Can`t blame them.

Let me make a prediction for 2009; Arsene to leave for Europe followed by Cesc Fab, Adebayor, Walcott, van Persie, Rosisky and Gallas. One of the merri-go-round managers to be appointed.

First half Villa were alot better but we did what we have done very rarely we took our chances and were unlucky to hit the post with the Van Persie shot. For the final Villa attack, when they scored, we should have had everyone in the box defending but it is easy saying that now. More injuries in this game aswell we need to buy I'm hoping for Yaya Toure and Alonso to stand in fot Fabregas. Also, like most people say every week we need a Campbell type of defender. The game showed that we may do ok without most of our first choice midfield of Fabregas, Walcott and Rosicky.

Unless something unlikely happens we will be fighting for fourth or third this season with Villa. Good to see we'll have Eduardo back soon aswell

Anyone else think Sagna and Diaby were brilliant for us today?
