    When English players look for the foul its not commented on as much, surprisingly...

    I think it's hilarious that some Arsenal fans were so quick to dismiss Stoke as "one-dimensional" when their own team have no plan B either.

    We know we have no plan b but, our plan a works the majority of the time.

    I didn't dismiss Stoke either though.

    Bendtner is our plan B. Who dismissed Stoke??

    Pretty brutal match, Villa got lucky but in that the ball hit their post twice, that said they looked on top for some of it without creating any real chances other then Downing.

    Listening to commentary on Arsenal tv, Sol with a great chance apparently

    I dont think a draw was a bad result for Arsenal really in this game. Would have preferred the win obviously but a point against Villa away is a decent enough result.

    Going to Villa and getting a point isn't a bad result in principle - but its the kind of games you need to win a few of to win the league. Really need to win two of these four games to stay in touch I think.

    Possibility of it going to extra time in the United game, could be good for Arsenal

    Dunne was heading through for goal of the century.
    Bloody ref.

    Fair enough it's your opinion.
    I still think he has something to offer though.

    He gets into good positions but his finishing is brutal. I'd say he scored nine of about a hundred chances last season. His passing and decision-making isn't much better. He'll never be an automatic choice for Arsenal's first choice side when there is nobody injured/suspended.

    Clever from Sol though, he showed his experience there and from the little bit I saw he looked solid, might be a good addition by Arsene.

    Should HAVE been but it wasn't, he stopped Dunne getting into the box and convinced the ref it wasn't a free, couldn't imagine Senderos doing the same.

    In fairness, it was some run by Dunne. Would have been some goal. It was clever by Cambell though.

    Nah the ref was just useless, nothing to do with Campbell.

    Hugely disappointed we couldn't take the three points, especially considering the chances we had.

    I only saw the second half, but I thought Sol looked solid and Rosicky looked sharper than I've seen in a long time. So hopefully we can hit some form with more players coming back.

    Any word of what was wrong with Eduardo?

    Ya but I know when someone's on the wind up.
    I dunno, I can't help feeling disappointed with that match. We need to start winning again in the league.

    Full marks to both teams tonight, quite possibly the most entertaining 0-0 draw i've ever seen. Had to laugh at Dunne's venture forward at the end, like a man possessed - how on earth did the ref not give a free kick when Campbell blatantly tripped him?!
