4 minutes mate, 4 minutes, the ref was prepared to play as many minutes as were necessary to get the result for Arsenal |

who knows where the hell those extra minutes came from i hope MON is furious and says so, for all the time that davies was on the floor in the first half waranted 4 mins nothing like that happened in the second a few free kicks and thats about it, i think its supposed to be 30 secoonds added on for subs bendtner harewood and gilberto although the two arsenal subs were made at the same time, what a joke, but no matter villa have given away a lead again just like at liverpool justified or not!!!! |

If someone had offered you a 1-1 result before kick off, you would have bitten their hand off. I won't say you didn't deserve a point because you executed a perfect away performance but we pressed and pressed and pressed and I don't think you can say we didn't deserve at least a point ourselves. If we weren't so clueless and toothless, we would've taken all 3 points with the possession we had. I think it's clear to see that we're not going to win the title now. Good luck with your challenge for 4th. |

I have to say, I've laregly been impressed with the civility of Arsenal's fans who have posted here. I'm still GUTTED by the way. One always rues missed chances. We did today. Gabby and Harewood had a few solid shots on goal, and Almunia made some great saves. Osbourne impressed me today. He looked very composed today. |

What a load of BU.....T 2day we wer the better team by far. I no arsenal had the more possesion, but that was expected but we created more clear cut chances. What was the ref, 3rd offical w/e who eva comes up with the added on time, what was they thinkin 4 minutes were did dat come from you just new that the ref wanted arsenal to score and even dough there was only like 15 seconds you see how the ref blew his whistle once the kik off was taken and arsenal scored. ROBBIN BA....DS just could not take that arseanl was guna lose. CUM YOU VILLA BOYS KEPP GOING, ROVES THAT WERE A THREAT TO TEAMS WHEN PEOPLE HAVE TO CHEAT TO GET POINTS OFF US. |

arsenal could have easily asked why 4 mins of injury time at Birmingham when we lost a so called penalty with less than 30 seconds to go! there were hardly injuries in that 2nd half(unlike the depressing 1st half) - people like to say things even out... |

Yeah, it's frustrating. I think a draw was a fair result, though, and if you'd told me 1-1 before the match I probably would have taken it. How is Davies, does anyone know? That looked bad. And he finally looked like he was coming on.... |

in all fairness, though i think Clattenburg is a s**tty* piece of referee (*- see Liverpool v Villa @ anfield, appalling reffing.) and though he didnt have a great game, i was watching it and didnt notice much of the ref which is a good sign. 3 minutes is about average for most games, and considering the subs made in the second half, by the laws of the game 3 mins was about right and Arsenal scored with 2.57 mins on the clock in injury time. It was annoying that they scored but the ref wasnt at fault for the result this time. I can take some solace in the fact that i would have begged to take a draw away from arsenal considering our remaining fixture list. So although annoying, im pretty chuffed for the result. Well done boys! |

I'm deflated, but we still got a point at the Emirates. That's 6 points from 7 games against the top 4 this season - not bad going. As for the injury time - that's football. There were lots of subs, Osbourne was booked for time wasting etc. I'm not completely surprised. Sometimes those things go for you and sometimes they go against you. It was always going to be tough to hang on to a 1-0 lead and it's a shame we couldn't keep them out for another 2 seconds. Still, all in all it's a good result and can only give us confidence when we play Man U at Old Trafford. |

the 3 minutes must have came from all the fouls on arsenal because as of yesturday arsenal are the team that are fouled the most  i'm happy with a draw against arsenal, fair enough it should have been 3 points but these things happen in football, i cant see this knocking our confidence. if anything it will improve it, because we now know we can out play one of the best teams in the world, and the defending in the second half was amazing. in my opinion 4th place has left us and is between everton and liverpool and i don't even think everton stand much of a chance because with liverpool being liverpool i can't see them not getting it, especially with 2 games in hand. but if everton mess up and we beat them 5th place could be ours |

shut up you villa @ f@ols!! you were gifted an own goal and you have the cheek to say you deserved all three points? Villa 4th? what a joke! There is more to football than relying on fast wingers (all pace no sense wingers). Arsenal are having a bad patch but with rosicky and vpersie back they should be firing again. Watching Theo again today just confirms that english players cant cut it at arsenal - he keeps looking down at the ball - even i dont do that!! PS Shut up you dumb ar@ses! |

Supagoona Arsenal Team Statistics Aston Villa 0Inept Referee1 I will never try and 'convince' you that we deserved to win because I will never expect you to understand anything about Aston Villa and what we are achieving under Martin O'Neill. The fact that you are on the defensive about us 'outplaying' you tells us so much. Aston Villa playing with belief, flair and precision. Showing focus and a sophisticated awareness of how to adapt their style for the opposition. I'm cheering myself up already. |

What ticks me off is that we've thrown away points on injury times sooooooooo maaaaaaany times this season and in the end it seems it's gonna cost us the 4th place Against liverpoo, chelski, and now assanal I mean c'mon. We've gotta start fending people off in injury time. |

FOUR minutes people, there were FOUR minutes of added time signalled, not three. The ref just happened to blow for full time after about 93 minutes 20 seconds because... oh yeah! Arsenal got their equiliser. We barely kick off and he blows for the end. The ref f**king bottled it today and he should be ashamed of himself, the tosser. So proud of the Villa boys, great effort. Marlon Harewood again - what a difference maker, Arsenal couldn't handle him. I'd have taken the point at the start, but to be robbed by the 12 men of Arsenal is pretty sickening. |

From AVFC.co.uk: "Curtis Davies will undergo surgery tonight after rupturing his Achilles tendon in Villa's 1-1 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium." Out for the rest of the season. I hope he comes back better than ever and here's to a speedy recovery. |

"Villa were clearly the better side on the chances created," Steve Costigan on Fox. You can pass the ball around all you like, but in the decisive areas, Arsenal had no real answer. No one's going to argue we have the stronger side, but given the clean sheet through 92:58, Villa have a right to feel a bit aggrieved to not collect all three points. We were better on the day. Composed enough to deal with what Arsenal offered, threatening enough to obviously force errors, good saves. The announcers said there were 3 minutes, it seems that 4 may have been shown at the stadium. So, that doesn't seem much of an issue, just the breaks. Villa simply need to learn to play a bit more keep-away further down the pitch. We never really looked all that bothered, it wasn't desperate defending, the announcers kept pointing out how solid Villa's back four were, better than Arsenal's. I thought this was the most relaxed and confident I've seen Villa away to one of the big four. They intended to take the game to Arsenal and did. Villa weren't just playing for the draw, so well done, boys. Terrible about Davies. Good luck to you, Curtis, on your recovery. |

We went to the Emirates and should have won. Let's just type that again. We went to the Emirates and should have won! For me that was the biggest result of the season. Ignore the minutes added on, ignore the fact they finally scored. Most of us were posting that we'd be lucky to get anything from this. The revolution is now in full swing. All clubs will fear playing us |

said:

Although we didn't play well today, I have to admit I was very impressed by the way you guys played today. Definitely the best performance by an away team at the Emirates this season. The only sour point were the sick chants some of your fans were singing about Eduardo, but I hope that's just a minority |

I gotta say these arsenal fans are deluded. yes you had most of the ball, but you certainly didnt out play us. you had one clear chance and that was the goal. All of the pundits say villa deserved all three points, and that arsenal looked out of shape and couldn't create chances. Little bit sad that you have to come on here to prove yourselves anyway. Just heard on the radio that villa fans were singing harsh songs about eduardo today throughout the match. I think thats a disgrace and hope it was just a few idiots giving the rest of us a bad name. Up the Villa!! |

i was at the game and the fourth official didnt put up the added time till about 45 secs after the 90 mins. arsenal had a corner with 10 secs left of normal time and the official didnt put it up!! he waited till after the corner and resulting play! what a joke. if he was going to wait, he could at least take off a minute. also what was the song about eduardo. a bit tasteless from what i gathered from it. something about him having silky skills and something about heather mills??? |

Just got back from the Emirates and although I don't post very often I felt I had to tonight. Today I was ashamed to be a Villa fan for the first time in my 35 years as a fan. Why? Well because of a section of the Villa fans who thought it would be great fun to sing about Eduardo's sickening injury the week before. An injury that could happen to any player of any team (yes even ours) any week. The mindless morons that joined in not only shamed our club but also helped to incense the Arsenal fans, who had previously been anonimous, into rallying behind their team, which subsequently put our own team under pressure. Despite these chants it was good to see the Arsenal fans applauding Curtis Davis off the field when he suffered his injury. If only we had shown them the same respect! To those who sang ask yourself this question how would you have felt if had been your player who was subject of this type of chanting? To the Arsenal fans who have come on this site to complain I can only apologise. |

I like Arsenal, and I still hope that they win the Prem, but we were clearly the better side today. Arsenal would probably take three points four out of five matches at the Emirates, so all in all it's not a bad result. Disappointing about Davies. I hope he comes back strong. |

Obviously gutted in a way ... but before the game you'd take it! Keep the faith - it's easy to say fourth place is out the question but you never know ... we've got United to play once and apart from that it's teams either below us or in the hunt for Europe so it could still happen .... Everton have still got to play Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, and with their UEFA Cup games, players will be rested if they keep progressing. Liverpool who can be pushed to the edge as we proved, have got to play Man Utd and Arsenal. And like Everton, will have important European games. Man City (who looked crap against Wigan) have got to play Chelsea and Liverpool. Blackburn have Liverpool and United to play and are inconsistent. So all in all we still have a chance particularly if we batlle like we did today! A point at the Emirates, a team that have only lost there once, they're top of the league, consistently do well in Europe and we lose key playerss early on. Not bad really! UP THE VILLA!  |

Haven't read all posts but Arsenal did not deserve even a point today. Sure they passed it around well in the 2nd half, but they just never really threatened. However Villa being Villa you just knew we would concede right at the end; same old, same old. I'm not sure what the song about Eduardo was, but like many others I was very upset by his injury (he is one of my fave prem players) and can only say I'm ashamed of them particular Villa supporters. I sincerely hope they got a good kickin after the game to be honest. |

Yeah I've only just heard about some Villa fans singing distastefully towards Arsenal. I hope (and indeed, I have heard) that it was only a minority, but still, it is terrible. To those c***s who sang about Eduardo like that, I ask: How would you have felt if away fans had sung like that about Luc Nillis after his injury? T**ts. They don't deserve to see the club and I hope they get found out and banned for life. I missed the first half, but someone here said that Arsenal fans applauded Curtis Davies off when he got his injury. If that's the case, then thank you. *phew* Still gutted about the result though. We really did ourselves proud today and deserved the victory. What an effort and it really is typical bad luck of the Villa to concede way into stoppage time that shouldn;t even have been added on in the first place. |

I was impressed with the fact the the 2 forced subs didn't affect the balance or the tactics of the team. We still played with the same gameplan and it worked. I can see now that MON has the team playing the way he wants and I like it. Special praise for Carew, he did a great job playing out of position later in the game. The reason we didn't win is because Arsenal didn't panic, kept to their gameplan and had the bit of luck you need. Of the games I've seen this season that was the best Villa performance. |
villadaz
said:
 |
When the dust settles I think that we will all agree that was a great point, particulary in view of the way we played. Carew was oustanding and despite maybe an error of judgement for the goal so was Carson. As for the chants, as much as I hate blues I wouldn't even sing that about one of their players....grow up!!! |

yes, i believe we deserve the 3 points. the win was for the bday boy MON and the excellent away fans. whats more, the 3 points were for the Villa team which matched Arsenal in every area. YES we were on the back foot for most of 2nd half, but look at it, 2 important players got injured in the 2nd half. Arsenal dun deserve the draw. The fans were numb throughout the game. |

There had been many visiting teams outside the Big 4, coming over to the Emirates who played well and said to themselves they will fear no one after coming away with a draw or, rarely, a win. It makes me feel proud that Arsenal is the benchmark for many teams outside of the 4. But as I agree with a Villa fan that we don't know your team and O'Neil's 5-year plan thingy, you guys do not know our team too. True we have been praised as the most beautiful team in Europe but we are humans too. And, in truth, Villa played us when we are still jaded from last weeks traumatizing game and I would say if I was the opposition its a good time to play the Gunners. Its simple. Villa played their best game of the season when Arsenal played one of their worst. If Arsenal had played like they did against Milan (how many Villa fans watched that match?), I have no doubt Villa fans would NOT be saying "their team now fear no one!".. Most of our players were really below par considering what they could really do to the opposition. But in all honesty, Villa really did play well and O'Neil is a top manager & doing a good job at your club. Good luck for the rest of the season, Villa! Wish us success too in reclaiming the League title from Man U.. *fingers X*  |

I am afraid it was more the majority of Villa fans singing the song about Eduardo during the first half at least and there was trouble afterwards as some were singing it as they left the ground. It was a shame because your team were excellent but those idiots made the last the minute equaliser all the more enjoyable. Good luck to Curtis Davies, he can a top class defender in years to come. |

F**k the fans who sang at Eduardo. Villa had a good day out, Arsenal may be a benchmark for our future performances but it's the run in that counts. If we finish 7th, no Europe unless we win our Inter-toto game. I can see that happening, Everton and Liverpool are stronger at the minute but I have the utmost faith in MON signing some key players in the Summer. It's all about staying on top of City and Pompey. If we can beat them down and Blackburn implode like always we're set for a good end to the season. That being said, 7th and a crack at Europe would be a fantastic way to end the season considering. |

A tremendous result for Villa, sad about the Curtis Davis injury, how will that affect his transfer to us now he's going to be out for so long? Just a cautionary note, how many more goals are we going to give away in the final minutes. Forget how long was or shouldn't have been added, we have dropped at least six points through late goals (spurs, liverpool and arsenal) and thats off the top of my head. |

The lads were class today, every single one of them. The 2nd goal would have killed Arsenal off but you knew with the 4 mins extra time and a succession of corners that something had to give. You could say Carson was at fault, but to be honest you could say that any goal is a keepers fault, a stab from 6 yards out can beat the best keeper in the world. Great to see Marlon's spirit, the fans love him and he really injects so fuel for that last 20 mins. I think any one of us would have taken a point before this game, we should have won it, but the performance and the confidence of that team is something to be pleased about. A few acquisitions post season and we'll be class act, I just hope that Petrov does not get back in that midfield because we are a far better team without him. Nice to see that most of the Arsenal fans that have posted on this site have the decency to leave constructive comments, bar that statement calling us idiots. I like most people on this board do not condone the behavior of our fans, no class. You'd expect that kind of behavior from blues fans and if you were one of those muppets singing maybe you should consider a season ticket at St Andrews next season, this club does not need twats like you. |

Jimbo First of all, im not from the UK needless to say am I from London (SG is a country). I've been a long supporter of the Gunners and proud to see them doing so well. It's also nice to see AW's 3rd generation coming along nicely. True I dont watch Villa play but I know they have been a good team with a good history.. Maybe I am basing my facts on reports in the media of how MON said that it was the best performance of the season for Villa so it's true i might be ignorant, i apologize if I don't know much about Villa.. But to call me and most of us gooners arrogant is not respectful and I've tried to be respectful in your blog as in other rival's blog. Arsenal did play very well at home against Milan so I don't know what your philosophy of good football is - maybe fast wingers who can cross well and the strikers who receives it put it in the back of the net is fantastic to you? I called it 5-year thingy not as a disrespect but to tell people that I do not know what the details of the plan was, NOT as a disrespect or arrogance. If you feel that way, I respect that about you as you are just a passionate Villa supporter who, like any group of rival fans, only gets personal and call others c*&ts. As I've said, I like getting into constructive dialogue with like-minded rival fans but your comments doesn't seem to fit in anywhere with what I was trying to say. I praised MON's management of your team and wished you guys success for Q for Europe so I expect likewise from others.. Here's looking OUTSIDE of London, literally... |

SG gooner, I take your point and agree that maybe using the C word was a tad inappropriate. However in the heat of the moment i felt incredibly patronised by your comments, especially you saying it was our best performance. Chealsea at home, liverpool away, newcastle at home, birmingham away, chelsea away are just off the top of my head that were equally, if not probably better performances. To give yourself the luxury of thinking that villa raised their game only because it was "arsenal at the emirates" is just not true. I understand that maybe being top of the premiership gives you that luxury, and perhaps being in the last 16 of the Champions league gives you the right to overlook the teams lower than fourth in the premiership, and then again perhaps all of those things mean that I'm just jealous Good luck for the rest of the season, Out of anybody i'd rather arsenal be champions both of england and europe. P.s What country is SG??? |

Jimbo SG is Singapore.. As I've said, I only read it from the internet about Villa's performance being one of their best from an interview with MON himself. I think it could be from Sky Sports or something, can't remember.. So, I can only judge your team (or any team for that matter) from what i read on the news. I always gather info from every source I can b4 putting up constructive comments on rival's blog. Even though I'm not from the UK or London, I've supported Arsenal since the early 90s not because they were winning everything but because they were a really good club. Maybe if I had watched Villa instead I might have been a Villan? So guess it was time & chance with what I saw on tele instead of going fanatical with a local team in my country's |
