So it looked like we were going to get away with being under the cosh for so long but in the end we squandered two points. Forget about "the title race" and being "in the hunt". That ship sailed a long time ago. We aren't even in our "default" position of fourth. Strengthen the team now Arsene and make sure we win the FA Cup and get that fourth place.

IF we get there, fourth place will never have seemed so good.

Am i the only one here that seems to think that Villa were proper jammy bastards to get that injury time equaliser? and wtf did 4mins added time come from???

Keep the faith people, i know this feels like a loss but at least Villa havent widened the gap, the season dont finish for another 5 months, and ANYTHING can happen between now & then!
On a more positive note of the game, Sagna's bycicle kick save! OMFG! AMAZING!
Didnt see who got MOTM but i certainly hope it was him, he was one of the better players out there today.

I suppose that you can look at it that way but were we equally jammy when the woodwork saved us three times in the first half?

You could say that, but we also had a fair few chances in the 2nd half, blah im wearing my red blinkers i guess.

Thats not a good thing, Fabregas is out for 4 of those 5 months. It is inevitable that we will suffer A) Fatigue and B) More injuries.

Aston Villa IMO wern't jammy, because to be perfectly honest they deserved to win the game by 3 or 4 goals.

This team is tactical roadkill, we're headed out of the top 4, because the team is average, and the manager seems to have gone on a permanent holiday to cloud cuckoo land :BangHead:


yeh we have again lost a lead, but villa played better than us.
at least they havnt won, im as angry as the next gooner but theres no point over exagerating and saying we're headed out of the top four. for me personally i just can't see villa holding it we will be in the top four at the end of season (and i still think we can win it :lol:) nah title was gone ages ago but top four we'll be fine.

as for the game diaby was great, eboue played alright we should and could have had a couple more and its just abit crap again really. dissapointed.



How we played today and the result makes me think we are now fifth.

I don't understand how you think Villa will drop? The first half they played like we did years ago. Full of spirit, strength, speed, passion and these games where you just hit the post! And this is every week they play like this, not now and again. Compare that to how we play and you really think they will drop?

Exactly Trina.

Too many Gooners think that we can continue to play like this and somehow magically remain in the top 4.

A hard fought win against Portsmouth has helped, but the issues are still there, looming large :(
