Haha.  Arteta.  They deserved so much more.  Apparently.  Whatever. 

[dicedlam]

Mings was immense once again. Tuchel looking on, hopefully he gets his England place back.
Bouba once again motm.

Great point and thoroughly deserved. Well done lads.

[The Edge]

Great shift from the lads. Deserved point.

That handball was so blatant, Havertz should have been booked.

Massive credit to Cash, that cross for the equaliser was brilliant. If it had been Trent Alexander-Arnold it would be headline news on all the Sunday papers!!

I loved how Lee Hendrie and Paul Merson took the piss out of Havertz. Pointing our the fact that this is live tv and cameras are literally everywhere. You might get away with it in the championship they said.

An obvious handball, a well deserved win and Ollie Watkins analysis of himself, when he is better when he just acts on instinct, is 100% correct - keep doing it. We showed a lot of fight tonight, thats all fans ask for

I look forward to his sacking the monumental prick

[Deano's Mullet]

Arteta just cannot praise the opposition or accept the ref was correct can he?

Just watched Arsenal Fan TV. Hilarious stuff - they really celebrate that "3rd" lol

Although Arsenal were 1-0 up and in a degree of control, it's a score line you always feel you have a chance and we did well to limit too many clearcut opportunities. The second goal I thought was gonna kill us but to be fair, Arsenal took their foot off the pedal and we shifted up a few gears and rattled them. We were superb from that point on and could have scored more.

We held out well at the end and in no small part because Tyrone and Konsa is our best combo defensively, by a distance. Digne made us a bit more solid on the left. Maatsen is a good player, but I don't know if this was his type of game.

Ollie was excellent. Worked very hard. Kamara is quality. Youri was superb in the second half.

I also thought given the circumstances, Bogarde did extremely well.

The best part of all, despite the ref favouring Arsenal throughout the game, Arteta will add that disallowed goal to his big book of slights against Arsenal. He'll be bleating on about that one on his deathbed. In reality, absolutely no debates on that one. It was a clear handball.

He gave us something Digne doesn’t going forward but was suspect defensively and at fault for Arse’s first goal. I think he was subbed because we’d lost Onana and needed more stability at the back.

Just went on Arsenal Mania for the lolz. Should've known better. There's a lot of them arguing it didn't hit Havertz's arm. Such a deranged fanbase.

[Hampshire Villa]

Merson. Just talked about Afferlehico Madrid

[Demitri_C]

Ollie what you talking about man???
 Thats blatent handball 🤦‍♂️

You beat me to it. Wtf is he on about?

Suspect he doesn’t know the interpretation of the law!

Not seen what he has stated, but he knows any touch by hand / arm is handball for the scorer has he has had a couple ruled out for it.

He said after being shown a replay "I'm not sure about that I think it's gone in our favour. I'd be disappointed if they took one off me for that" A crazy interpretation or maybe he's just sticking to the strikers union rules.

Yeah dont understand what ollies on about there. Thats as blatent as hand balls come

On a side note the ref was absolutely  dreadful.  Its a miracle we ended with 11 men as he was so pro arsenal just like the commentary team

[passport1]

Undefeated  in the new year. Squad strengthening for the run in. Onwards and upwards!!

[Beard82]

Absolute state of the commentares - repeatadly saying it brushed his his arm - it was going out for a fucking throw in until his arm deflected it.

Don’t worry - when I’m king - first thing I’ll do is stamp down on this shit

Well done Villa - good resolve with a make shift
Midfield - thought Bogarde did well
