Match Reaction vs Villa

[Cripps_orig]

Just got back

As comfortable as it gets.

Sir Chesney had f all to do. Nevertheless there were a couple of times his complacency could have cost us. Thankfully our best player on the pitch Heskey was quality at the back

Sagna This guy is awlsome. Our real MOTM. Best player in the world at what he does. Gibbs had his best game for us. Didnt realise he had scored til a few seconds later. Hollywood Verm is back to his best. Fair play to Jo Djo. Did very well. What was wrong with him at the start of the match?

Song with another assist Rosicky ran the midfield for 75 odd minutes and odds on for MOTM before losing it in the last 15 and lost possesion quite a few times. Arteta as ive said in another thread was anonymous bar his awlsome goal.

Gervinho had his best half for us in the first half. His tracking back was quality and looks to be on the right track, Then came the 2nd half and he was back to normal. As for Walcott, THEO THEO THEO. Thats all. Pretty much the same we have seen all season. RVP was awlful but others stepped up.

One other thing, Arteta and RVP need to stop that ridiculous short corner routine. They Pires/Henry'd it up twice and it was laughable.

RVP was awlful but others stepped up.

Mmm, I'm not sure he was. I think it's just compared to how ridiculously good he's been this year it seems bad by comparison.
Good shout about Sagna, he was immense today. How many headers did he win from Chesney kicks?
Him.

It has been a clear tactic in the last few games. We keep hoofing it to the right because Sagna wins pretty much everything in the air.

Sagna has been amazing in the last couple of games. He has always been consistent but he has taken it up a notch recently.

Aye it is a bit harsh.

Had he been playing for a RPQ, Spuds or a Bolton, teams of that calibre and produced that performance, he'd be their best player on the pitch. We are the Arsenal however and our expectations and standards are a tad higher.

As for Sagna, the guy next to me pointed that out to me before the game and told me to look out for it and lo and behold thats exactly what happened. Sir Chesney to Sagna and Sagna won it all the time. Fucking love this player. Need to keep him fit and need good cover for him

Can't say more then that. though Villa are dire.

As a great man once said

"I forgot to mention

The fans who left early and missed Artetas goal

Also though

Guy in our row, came in 10 minutes late, left 5 minutes before half time, came back 5 minutes in to the 2nd half and left well before half time.

I usually wouldnt notice shit like that but i had to get up for the **** to let him walk past all these times.

Considering i left at full time and got on the train within 10 minutes. No reason to leave early"

Well the train does need its driver before it can leave tbf.

[Fist of Lehmann]

And another thing. How good was it to see someone tricking on the pitch again? I know some people don't like it, they think it's taking the piss, but love it.

I miss the days of hammering home a Harlem Globetrotterish dominance with a little showboating, of cruising through games and crushing teams from the comfort of 2nd gear. Henry's look away pass still makes me smile.

Right now we're winning, but to do so we must give absolutely everfin.

Bring back piss-taking.

Hmm...it's like white boots. You've got to be exceptional to get away with it. Truth be told, Van Persie is the only one who could've got away with that. If Theo or Ramsey did that, we'd be telling them to stop faffing about and keep the concentration.
