Arsenal not exerting enough control over the game, they look very loose at the back too.

The suspense is killing me, what happened???

Through ball played behind arsenal line, Sczesney comes out of his box to clear and loops it into the air.....he has to challenge Benteke 30 yards out for the header as it comes down......falls to a Villa player who tries to lob him as he scrambles back into his goal, he manages to tip it wide for a corner.

Mad stuff.

Players are gonna go straight to the ground every time they are touched.

Ref is giving too many niggley fouls

He looks like the only player looking like he's willing to try. Chamberlin and Wilshire are the others.

It villa fouling at every possible opportunity. Real scrappy game. And the ref isn't helping

Why not? He has been solid as a rock for Stoke for a good while now.

tbh I rate Szcesney but Begovic would be a good signing for any side and i'd much prefer to be up against Szcesney than him as a Villa fan

Not saying he is a bad player but like I'd say 50% of Arsenal fans I have a lot of faith in Szcez ok that was lunacy but entertaining as fcuk , and the peno I'd put the blame on the defence not the goalkeeper.

People are and always have been far to quick to blame a goalkeeper.

Can someone accompany it with Benny Hill music again please.

It's a bad sign when Gabby is making your defence look stretched.

MaxPower89

Any recipes?

Kirby

All you lads and your recipes. Sky, BT, and Setanta here. Sporting Nirvana even if the commentary is crap. :P

Ref's looks like he be stop/start. It will suit Villa. I can us getting very angry soon.

tbh Gabby is one of the fastest players going and big and strong. He might not be the best player in the world but on the counter he is the exact type of player to stretch a defense

If he was that good he would have been snapped up by a bigger club mate.

He's actually the fastest footballer in the world without the ball at his feet. It's been measured. No shame in him leaving most footballers for dead.

Looper007

Awful stuff from Arsenal so far. I ain't seen anything that's looks like a improvement from last season.

lertsnim

This referee is absolutely shocking. Cannot see how that is a yellow for anybody.

Jaafa

The ref hasn't a clue whats going on.

wandatowell

That yellow is a bit harsh

AdamD

This ref, wow.

Bounty Hunter

wtf why was Luna yellow carded there, he was the one fouled if anyone

IvySlayer

Hahah Delph

Luna yellow card, wtf? It was a collision

fullstop

How the hell does Luna get booked there It shouldn't even be a free

Mars Bar

That shouldn't a yellow for the Villa player.

Looper007

So stop and start this game. I wouldn't be surprised one of our players will join Gibbs on the injury table. Villa look comfortable.

Kirby

This referee is completely out of his depth. He just booked Luna for having the temerity to let Oxlade Chamberlain kick him in the chest. Great reffing. :rolleyes:

Marty McFly

Strange yellow, don't see how that was a card.

smilerf

I'm sure alot of ye will say oh he's young inexperienced etc but imo szesney is rubbish get fab on. Less erratic

.jacksparrow.

Was that booing?

If so pathetic.

Courtesy Flush

****e referee today in this game

wandatowell

Half time good, the ref needs a break

JPA

Fairly action packed half.

In fairness they kicked each other and neither got the ball . It just shouldn't have been a yellow card or a free kick for either side.

Alfred Borden

Sagna, Walcott and Ox limping, can our squad get any thinner? Only positives have to be ox and giroud, big second half needed, get santi and podli on!

brianregan09

don't mind subbing the keeper , Sub the Ref he's lost

Booing the ref id imagine. Meh he deserves it :P

Looper007

Good start then went downhill with the penalty. Wenger seriously needs questioning if we don't get the three points today. We have the easiest of starts to the season apart from the NLD game. Dropping points to Villa won't be making a statement.

Oranage2

What a shocking ref.

All our mids have been poor, bring on Cazorla and Pod, we'll still play crap but we'll have a better chance of scoring.
