It's just my opinion...no a fact...that's what the forum is for, to chat. I'm not being any more or less biased than you...I just have a different opinion...but to be honest life is to short to get drag into a pointless disagreement about something that aint gonna happen and don't even matter...enjoy your match
Arsenal XI : Cech; Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Flamini, Ramsey, Ozil. Campbell, Walcott, Giroud.
That's a pretty strong team and good going forward. Nice seeing Campbell playing well recently and giving us a proper option on the flanks.
A lot of empty seats in the Villa stadium... I have to say, given the strength of our forward line, we really should be winning this comfortably...
But it all depends on the Flamini-Ramsey axis in midfield for me. If they can stay disciplined and have a good game, then we'll win it. I just hope Flamini doesn't start charging forward too much. We should have enough to take this if we don't make any needless mistakes.
1-0. Good penalty by Giroud. Unsure as to whether it was actually a penalty or not? Can anyone confirm?
Lol these Villa fans need to stop screaming like they're victims and have been hard done by, it was a clear penalty.
I saw the replay and I thought so too, especially as Walcott had just escaped him. Martin Keown doesn't agree.. "This is just an early Christmas gift for Arsenal. It was never a penalty, it's very harsh on Alan Hutton."
Stupid foul by Ramsey. No need to try and pirouette, just play it simple. Villa have a chance from this set-piece now.
That was poor from Cech, should have held that easily. Thankfully, it got Bacuna off guard and he booted it well over, but that wasn't good.
Definitely a penalty but not always given...you see that sort of grabbing at most corners so I guess that's what the Villians are complaining about
We're 23 minutes in, we've not even been playing particularly well, yet Alan Hutton has been horrendous. We need to start targeting his side because he keeps making unforced errors.
