Just heard the Sky Sports reporter refer to Rooney’s dive that ended the Unbeaten run as a “challenge” from Sol Campbell. What planet are these guys from?

I thought Flamini said he wanted to move to be closer to his family?
Why would he lie?

He hasn’t complained much about being a sub at Milan for nearly two years.

“In fact it was clear that both players had reached their peak and were on the way down – and so moving them on was no bad move”.

what rubbish!!!!! that was just uncalled for, it was clear that wenger wanted to hold on to them, they might have been a gr8 success if they had stayed, but that wasn’t the case and that AND THAT was their mistake, not that they didn’t have it in them, they had to re establish themselves in new environment which they cudn’t……hiding wenger’s inability to make flamini sign his contract before it entered it’s last year with ur incredibly outrageous expert analysis is not fair…although i admit he has corrected his mistake and signed everyone for long term….appreciate the fact that wenger has corrected his mistake, rather saying he hasn’t committed one…..

Dress like Spurs, play like Spurs! That kit is awful and has to go, never mind your red pinstripes. I’ll design them our away kit if they like. It will be a yellow top with blue sleaves, blue shorts and yellow socks with blue top bits. There, job done! I hate marketing people sometimes! For that matter that horrible all blue abomination is not much better. Fed up with all this punter fleecing.

Vermaelen is tough as nails. From his reaction, it seemed like it a mere bruise.

No matter what, with Sol and Song back, we’ll be fine. We gotta believe!

For the moment it looks so urs truly critic, but end november Chelsea had 11 point advantage and suddenly screwed up. At that time they seemed unreachable for every other team. They can have a downfall again and now we are only a few points behind.
If we can ceep the gap as close to 5 points after our next three games I really believe we have a chance… if there comes an end to our injury’s.

chelsea are in cruise control, it will take something inhumane from arsenal to claim the title…

If Vermaelen has broken his leg it really looks like Birmingham is a doomed place for our players to break their legs. 2 years ago Eduardo and now maybe Vermaelen…

I think there is something wrong with the eyes of Alan Shearer. He said he didn’t see any long balls from Villa.
Now it could be off course that because of the fact that the pictures I see in my country have to come over sattelites and other far away projectiles in space and therefore I maybe see another game but I pretty much had the impression that most of the balls launched forward by Aston Villa in the second half were long balls.
I’m not saying all the balls but they played rather a lot of those “run after it-balls”.

And damned now the injury’s from Vermaelen and Eduardo…. how the hell is this possible ? Like AW said: Sol did great but will he be able to produce 3 full games in one week at his age ?

So Wenger not bidding for Ribery at £15 million was an attempt to cripple Bayern Munich with an outrageous transfer fee? It’ll be nice if we bought someone awesome that I’ve heard of at a huge fee – it’s exciting, like winding up a huge credit card fee and then wondering how the fuck I’m going to pay it off.

a draw is a draw is a draw.

villa is tough. not a bad result by any means. but yes, with a better bounce or two, we should’ve won. poor rosicky might have trouble sleeping tonight.

i thought sol was fantastic.

On the ground where Chelsea lost we got a draw and should have won the game.
Maybe we could ask to measure the hight of the goal and the width as well. It looked to me that the goals were not big enough.

Campbell did good replacing Vermaelen and was solid together with Gallas.

Glad Sami is back for this evening, hope he gets a few minutes off the bench to find his feet again, limbering up ready to STUFF MANU just he did last year.

Think goals, Sami, just think goals.

And yes, Woodhouse is splendid. Nothing finer than Psmith Journalist, where our comrade hero finds himself in New York, pitted against the slum landlords of the town, and winning big.

Tough, tough game tonight. I will be quite pleased with a draw. So 1-1 it is and Almunia, thrust up front after Arshavin proves a more than capable keeper, to have a role in the equaliser by leaping energetically for a cross from Rosicky, but completely mistiming his jump, flapping at the ball, and confusing all the Villa defenders who allow the ball to fall softly into the net untouched.

Sir Tony, I’m glad you gave the D & G birgade some useful part to play in the grand scheme of things. That should make them feel a bit important. Bait and switch Wenger? Smart Frenchie!
