3-1, to the Villa boys, 3-1....

What an 18th birthday present that was!

You should send Anthony taylor a thank you card it is only right when you receive a gift that you send a thank you card. 2 penalties in one game Arsenal haven't been awarded two penalties all season, must be nice. Apparently, in 20 matches no Gunner has been fouled in the box.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Jesus christ, you whine like a scouser

Last time I tried to send a ref a thank-you card, it was just after the 2006 Champions League final!

Very funny, lets enjoy the game, hopefully they start bringing in foreign officials into the EPL, the foreign players have improved the league immensely maybe that is the answer to woeful state of officiating. I would volunteer my services.

[Hammersmith harrier]

Lets bring in foreign refs and destroy football as a contact sport even more, get a grip of yourself FFS.

[JamesLincs]

so you prefer when refs blow the whistle every 8 seconds?

[westisbest]

No poor officiating at The Emirates socal.

Just that the better team won 

Yeah keep telling yourself that funny they relegated the official after the match and it was the same buffoon who gave Sterling his penalty yesterday the FA rewarding incompetence again but that is what they are good at.

Jesus calm down dude.

Every team gets bad decisions.

[Duty281]

Yellow card for that?

[Liam]

Giroud has already missed a chance he should have scored. Which means 3 more misses then he get's his goal tonight!

[westisbest]

More chance of seeing a cross in church, than from one of our lads tonight.

[Liam]

Looking ominous already West but all that matters is that score in the top left corner. All about getting to half time 0-0 so your not chasing the game, that's when I feel Arsenal will put 2/3 past you. Not ideal losing your cb this early on either. Hopefully Baker is ok, I believe its Baker???

[westisbest]

Yeah Baker. he gets injured all the time.

[Fernando]

Villa 0-1 Arsenal - Wilshere

Bad defending by Lowton let Monreal go.

[Fernando]

Villa 0-2 Arsenal

Giroud 30 seconds later

Villa falling apart

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Villa blow up

[westisbest]

FFS socking defending.

[Fernando]

You were coping well until then Westy thought ud hold out til half time.

[Duty281]

Deserved.

Nice tidy finish as well.

[Guest]

Villa are embarrassing. This side did the same thing vs United. Shocking. Villa allowed Cleverley to score n now allowing Giroud to do that. Good luck Lambert.

[socal1976]

finally Arsenal show a ruthless streak. Jack and Olly G took their goals well. For all the slagging Giroud gets he is having a pretty good season.

[Liam]

Always going to be a tough night for Villa, but you shouldn't be that sloppy after conceding the first. 17 seconds? pretty poor. Lambert needs to balance going for it in the second half with goal difference. No good losing 4/5-0 when its as tight at the bottom as it is. He'll probably shut up shop till the 75th minute then go for it.

[Guest]

Yeah, Giroud did well but its ridiculous how many chances he gets. If he was a great finisher he`d be challenging Suarez now.

[socal1976]

Monreal has played well nice assist to Jacky boy and Gnabry looks very good as well one positive coming out of Theo's injury is Serge gets a run of play.

[socal1976]

Yeah, Giroud did well but its ridiculous how many chances he gets. If he was a great finisher he`d be challenging Suarez now.

I do agree that he is a bit wasteful but he is a very good passer and his link up play has been great this year he creates a lot of chances for the midfielders.

[socal1976]

There aren't too many Suarez type players in the world wish we had him or Negredo or Aguero. But lets hope Arsene unlocks those infamously tight purse strings again.

[NickisBHAFC]

Judging by my twitter, sounds like Jack Whilshere is bossing this game. Fantastic news for all.

[Liam]

benteke finally scores, game on

[westisbest]

OOHH CHRISTIAN BENTEKE.

C'mon Villa.

[socal1976]

uh oh, Arsenal took the foot off the gas and Benteke scores a great header from a beautiful cross. Now we got a tricky 15 minutes here

[NickisBHAFC]

Bentekers is back.

[socal1976]

Very complacent from gunners in the second half

[Liam]

What a cross that is from Lowton, absolute cracker! Was it Ozil who gave the ball away?

[socal1976]

No Cazorla gave it away

[Liam]

Ah right, too casual a pass and sums up Arsenal's 2nd half performance as socal said. 2-0 is always a dangerous scoreline. Still fancy Arsenal to see it out.

[socal1976]

Really poor performance from Arsenal in the second half, credit to Villa played well in the second half and scored a nice goal. Wilshere played exceptionally well a goal and assisted Giroud second goal. We are missing Ramsey though. Cazorla and Ozil didn't have the best game. Maybe people will stop slagging Jack and calling him overrated. He scored a goal, made a goal, and put in quite a few fierce challenges as well.

[NickisBHAFC]

Some positives signs for Villa in that half though.

[westisbest]

Same old fkng sh1t.
Lack of concentration cost us the game. Poor defending.
Played well when Tekkers scored, but why not start like that.

No good chasing a game against a team like Arsenal.

Fk that.

Sign someone Lambert ASAP.

Off to Anfield we go.

Now that Tekkers has finally score he can find the net on saturday like he did last season.

[socal1976]

Villa should be fine this season, they aren't going to be relegated. I think West ham, Cardiff, and Palace will go down. Sunderland playing much better of late. Fulham always seem to manage to do just enough not to be relegated.

[NickisBHAFC]

Grant Holt who has been awful for Wigan this season is close to signing for Villa apparently.

[Champagne_Socialist]

Arsenal top of the league again   

[westisbest]

No thanks we need another midfielder and defender.

[Duty281]

8 points separate the top six = #loveit

Arsenal might have a chance to pull away in the next few games, looking at the fixture list.

[socal1976]

Arsenal top of the league again   

21 weeks in now despite all the injuries and a blip last month we have now won 4 on the trot.

Yes a proper league were a number of teams can win it. I love how bunched up it is at the top. Even Spurs and United aren't out of the title chase eventhough I can't see either of them doing it though.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Grant Holt who has been awful for Wigan this season is close to signing for Villa apparently.

And does this come straight from your arse or what?

[NickisBHAFC]

Its all over twitter.

[westisbest]

Lambert hinted that it could happen.

Not exactly doing cart wheels.

[Duty281]

Twitter? Arse?

It's all the same thing really. A lot of rubbish spouted out of both.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Its all over twitter.

Yeah I probably should've checked that before I commented!

Soz mwah
