HALF-TIME

Aston Villa 0-2 Arsenal

"Christian Benteke can't hold the ball up and when he loses it I don't see greatest urgency to win it back. At the opposite end, Giroud's excellent work-rate does not even compare.
"The best teams work hard on and off the ball - and that's what Arsenal have done. Aston Villa look like a side that will be battling against relegation at the end of the season. You can't see where this Villa team are going."

But Hansen and Lawro said we don't do anything off the ball.

When Savage makes you like utter cretins, you know you should put yourself down.

[Özim]

You can work it out, think about it.

How can you be sure they didn't add more on top so that Villa have a chance of getting back into it, you know how this corruption thing works better than anyone.

[Özim]

Jesus, are you still pissed people were getting on city's case for buying refs? Or did you feel that ref made a "mistake"

I'm not p*ssed at all, but all we've heard for the past few months is how the refs are corrupt and screwing us over. Utter nonsense, Liverpool have had more penalties anyone else this season.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

On to more pertinent matters, but what the hell are the BBC playing at with their live update thing? It's shit now! No live table!

[Özim]

Great first touch from Giroud too.

For the goal?

One of the touches just bounced off his leg, got kinda lucky there.

[Maestro]

Where have you all gone! Come back.

we're winning, there's nothing to moan about

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I'm not p*ssed at all, but all we've heard for the past few months is how the refs are corrupt and screwing us over. Utter nonsense, Liverpool have had more penalties anyone else this season.

Spurs have had 4.

Liverpool, 3.
