But, but Arteta is the third best manager in the league and has solved all of Arsenal’s problems?! 

I just don’t understand these clubs. Arsenal and Man U are two huge clubs and they both appoint managers who have done fook all in a decent league.

To be expected of grown men decking themselves out in Arsenal gear though. They all need to grow up. Specifically that lad at the front right, King of the tossers he is.

I’m no villa fan but I’ll quite happily see them dick any of these plastic entitled cry baby we want our own league clubs. Turning out to be a good season this, not just from our point of view but a lot of the unfashionable clubs are giving it a go and I for one am loving it.

Everyone forgets arteta sat next to pep for a couple of seasons so must be great. 😂😂

Ozil must be laughing his socks off being paid 350k aweek and arsenal won't play him cos he upset the chinese. There best creative midfielder spends his days tweeting about his team, no wonder the team is unsettled

Ollie Watkins cost Villa £30 million from the championship, some clubs laughed but I think they can say at least there getting there money's worth now. On Arsenal it's funny Arteta has been getting a lot praise of late... some of it I thought was a little premature seeing as before today Arsenal were only 10th after today's result I think many will start to think they may have been thinking ahead.

ATV is probably a registered company they make money from. So it’s technically work and not bound by the same rules.

Let's be honest, half of these kinds of results don't happen if there's a crowd in. They're just not a true reflection of how these sides would actually perform in usual circumstances.

Oh this is awesome comical viewing 

[mozartfox 5,256]

Apparently Liverpool and Manure have just re-drafted ‘Project Big Picture’ to give it some credibility.  Arsenal have been relegated to the ‘make weights’ group and ‘Big 6’ is now reduced to the ‘Big 5’.

You might be proven correct, but there's actually no way of being sure.

DT?

 

Bellend of a man, always giving it the big I am too. Started on some Arsenal lad a couple of years ago and got a beating, then went to the police about it

At 1-0 "the next goal is either gonna make it 1-1 or 2-0" - Villa score "told you, 1-1 or 2-0" as if he's ****ing Alan Hansen

[Finnegan 26,868]

The people laughing at Arteta should probably keep in mind that he's in his first full season in management. For contrast, Rodgers has been in management for 12 years and equally lost loads of his first games. 

 

At Reading in his second job he lasted six months before getting sacked. 

 

Managers go through hardship, it's a lot to learn and Arteta is in at the deep end at one of the most expectant clubs in world football. 

 

It's not his fault there's lots of media hype about him. It's not like he's arrogant or up himself, he's never told anyone he's a special one or inflated his own ego. He was a grafter as a player and by all accounts works hard as a coach.

This Villa team are not comfortably beating Liverpool and Arsenal with fans there. Remember the last game they played with fans they were hammered 4-0 by us (when we were in shocking form). 

 

Not singling Villa out necessarily, we're not holding out at 2-1 with a sold out Elland Road last week either in my opinion.

True.

 

But you just compared him to Rodgers, who started at Reading.

 

Not Arsenal.

Without wishing to single you out, it is very easy to say that with confidence, without ever knowing.

Soo been watching sky sports news for around 25 mins. Headlines ... Harry Kane reaches 250, 1-1 draw between the ‘top 2’ and an interview with both aunts Jose and cousin Arteta. Do the leaders of the PL not exist!? Lol. They even mentioned how Spurs went top haha. 
 

I know this doesn’t trigger others and I know what your responses will be. But Jesus wept sky really do dislike us it’s just petty. I just find it really bizarre that the league leaders who did play today get no mention  

 

edit - now we go the dean smith who’s side are just three points off leaders Leicester. Woooooo

Although I think his post match reaction could have been better after our game and their victory at Old Trafford, there's a lot of truth in that post👍

or maybe it's the referee's not feeling the pressure in games with the crowds and not giving into the home fans. To be honest at Arsenal you wouldn't be able to tell if the fans are there or not.

Get the feeling sky welcomed southampton going top, then spurs, then leicester but got upset when liverpool failed to re-establish the natural order.

Can some one please explain how this ‘Big 6’ malarkey works?   Is it based upon ancient history?  Really struggling how the media comes up with this bolloc*s.   

 

Its based on income, sponsorships, revenue, wages paid etc. Arsenal, for example, finished 8th last season but their income and sponsorship deals completely dwarfs ours. There's no comparison.
