Made the mistake of looking at AFTV. All that little skinny nob with the hat on ever goes on about constantly is "he should have been booked/sent off." He does my head in. 

They have this massive conspiracy theory going on that all the refs are clubbing together to conspire against Arsenal. As if anyone gives a shit about them enough to go to those lengths

That BT advert for Leicester v Liverpool was a thing of tragic beauty

They have the largest number of internet weirdos around. Any time someone scores against them an army of virgins search for old tweets to drag up.

Villa will be gutted if they don't win this. Been comfortably better than Arsenal all game.

I have to say, they've impressed me all season. What a job Dean Smith has done. They weren't much cop when promoted. Shithoused the play offs really. Promoted by stealth. They were low grade all last season and scraped home under huge pressure. 

 

Now they're blossoming. 

 

Even if it is Villa, who I have a natural dislike for, it's good to see a team develop 'organically'

You can tell Rodgers is thinking 'are we really contractually obliged to do this?'

[Halifax Fox]

Equaliser definitely looking more likely.

[StanSP]

You wouldn't want the ball smashing the face of a player any more than Grealish

Villa are such a dirty team. Constant fouling and then as soon as grealish gets touched they're outraged.

Maybe that' how villa need to play against the so called big 6, it works for them anyway irrating the opposition.

Organically?  They spent more than £80m in the summer without selling anyone.  Fourth highest net spend after Chelsea, Everton & Leeds.  We had a net spend of about £10m. 

 

I don't know where they got their money from but it was a massive gamble considering their previous season but it looks as though it has payed off unfortunately.  I was nearly as gutted by them staying up as I was by our collapse last year.

 

Apparently Burnley spent a whole £1m last year on Dale Stephens.

They have spent over £220m in 1.5 seasons.

Lol at Keown suggesting Grealish enjoys going over when he feels any contact.

Keown earlier described Holding as 'unhung hero'.... to divulge intimate information in such a public manner is a tad unfair

Hope Villa hold out.. great seeing both the Norff London 'Giants' struggle like fvck!!😂

[Wymsey]

Grealish's swagger with the ball is very easy on the eye.

[Tielemans63]

Free kick to Arsenal?

 

Wtf?

[StanSP]

I know it's Grealish but what did he get booked for and how was it an Arsenal free kick

Got booked for having such large lips or perhaps not retreating, and it was a drop ball

[CrispinLA in Texas]

That should be red card for Xhaka streetfighter style turning kick on Grealish

Wouldn't class Mings and Watkins as young players at 27 and 25. 

[winteriscoming]

Villa look a very good side. Looks like they’ve improved defensively. Also look threatening going forward. 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

As usual the British media will discuss how Arsenal lost the match and not focus on how Villa won the match, so much bias towards the so called top 6 teams
