Big response needed. Come on you Gunners.

[Mac76]

3-0 Chambers hatter

ah Chambers is on the bench - in that case...

3-0 Watkins hatter

[Bumble]

Ramsdale out for a few weeks apparently. oh no hopefully our wafer think squad isnt going to count against us as we reach the run in

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

International break after this weekend so it might not be that problematic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Smith Rowe, bad shot.

Think Odegaard should've took it on like he did against Watford.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man Ashley Young surely will be targeted over and over again.

[Mac76]

Odegaard should have shot then

[Mac76]

our away fans are great but "You've only come to see the Arsenal" is so clumsy - it should be "you're only here for the Arsenal", that's what other teams sing :rolleyes:

[Mac76]

Odegaard didn't pass to Saka quickly enough then - he needs to think and act more quickly

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good ball in by McGinn but nobody did anything.

[Mac76]

Young dives

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Partey shot, straight at Martinez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinez save from Konsa!

[Mac76]

good counter but straight to the keeper from Partey

[Mac76]

Martinez save from Konsa!

i see you're using your time machine again...

[Mac76]

what a save from Emi

[McNamara That Ghost...]

i see you're using your time machine again...

Haha I'm watching it on the BT Sport app.

[Mac76]

poor touch from Laca in the box then

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey scythes down Smith Rowe, yellow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette FFS.

What a move.

[Mac76]

what TF was ESR doing - Laca was on that

what a let-off for Villa

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done White.

[Mac76]

Tierney needs to be really on Ramsay's case and get him sent off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

SAKA!!!!

[GP]

BUKAYO SAKA!!

Get in!!

[Mac76]

'kin brilliant!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Send him off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yellow for Xhaka.

[GP]

How is that not a red?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yellow for Mings.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yellow for McGinn also.

[Mac76]

How is that not a red?

Because it was on an Arsenal player, we all know that

[dazthegooner]

Saka scores are 2000th premier league goal :bow:

[Mac76]

our legal team need to put a dossier together of all these fucking fouls and take it officially to the PL to complain, it's a disgrace the way we're treated

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maybe Xhaka didn't get a yellow. Thought he had, must've been for McGinn then.

[Mac76]

good ball from Tierney but Laca Laca-ed it up

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clearly looking to kick the shit out of Saka.

[Mac76]

who's the scouse commentator, he's so biased towards Villa

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Partey duffs up Ramsey. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

who's the scouse commentator, he's so biased towards Villa

Steve McManaman.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Xhaka is booked.

What a daft yellow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Send him off!

[Mac76]

Xhaka makes sure to collect his yellow

seriously does anyone here really still think he isn't a total c***?

[Mac76]

Steve McManaman.

yeah, thought so

[Mac76]

That Cash tackle would've been a yellow at least for an Arsenal player

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 HT.

Played well so far.

[Mac76]

0-1 HT.

Played well so far.

yeah we've been in charge so far

if the ref did his job Villa would be down to ten too

[Ralpheroo72]

yeah, thought so

We have Jim Berlin, he’s not too bad

[selassie]

We are playing well, controlled the game. We are really starting to look like a decent team these days, dare I say it, a top 4 team!

It’s been a while since we go to semi decent teams grounds and control games but this season we are starting to do it consistently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Smith Rowe combs it, Martinez saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Gabriel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka took too long.

[Mac76]

Saka should have passed there, we had two coming in to the box

[Mac76]

that's another yellow-card tackle by Cash

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yellow for Cedric.

[Mac76]

Arteta needs to think about changes

Pepe for Saka
Lokonga for Xhaka

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McGinn puts it wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka fell over while striking it but deflects behind for a corner.

[Mac76]

fuck up by Odegaard nearly leads to a goal - we need to concentrate here ffs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was the worst corner in history.

[Mac76]

fucking short corner leads to the usual mess

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just wide from Saka.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yellow for Partey now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Douglas Luiz, a bit ambitious.

[dazthegooner]

3 Points... Oh sorry wrong sport.

[Mac76]

Douglas-luiz :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Watkins shot, deflects on to the post!

[Mac76]

Pepe coming on - good move to rest Saka

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka off, Pepe on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey off, Traore on.

Buendia off, Bailey on.

[Mac76]

McGinn :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette, head up FFS.

[Mac76]

Lacazette, head up FFS.

Odegaard was so in there, so annoying

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Send him off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette off, Nketiah on.

[Mac76]

Cash commits his third yellow-card tackle adn gets away with it again

[Mac76]

Nketiah on - Arsenal down to ten men

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Watkins off, Ings on.

[Mac76]

Nketiah hoofs it like a true pub No 9

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nketiah. :lol:

[Mac76]

Nketiah falls over - embarrassing...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ings header, over it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Odegaard off, Holding on.

[Mac76]

Holding on = we sit back and bring them on to us - when will Arteta learn it never works

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That should be enough.

[Mac76]

Tierney's been brilliant today

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno's kicking has been hopeless. Lost it pretty much every time.

[Mac76]

why is every player called Traore terrible?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh Pepe, why?

[Mac76]

Leno's kicking has been hopeless. Lost it pretty much every time.

yeah not having Ramsdale for the next few games is really disappointing

[Mac76]

Oh Pepe, why?

he's been dreadful since he came on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 0-1 Arsenal, FT.

Leno saved from Coutinho.

Arsenal. :bow:

[Letters]

Get.
The fuck.
In!

[GP]

Great win! Lets fucking gooo!!

[Mac76]

good save Leno - and Arsenal win :scarf: (but got away with going all defensive yet again for the last ten minutes ...)

[selassie]

I love this team, they are so desperate for CL!
