Was nice to see a good honest game for a change. (Bar Milner's dive for the freekick.) Got alot of time for Villa and MON. They didn't play amazing yesterday but they have one bloody fantastic defence, if we played like that against Burnley we would of murderd them. Villa look very similar to us but a better version. Hope they get the top4 place.

I think Villa were a real credit today. Wasn't it lovely to see a big club, with genuine top 4 aspirations come and play the game in totally the right spirit? They got straight up after any tough challenges, never surrounded the ref and just got on with the task at hand. They took a fair old bombardment from our set plays but they defended them as well as anyone since we got promoted. Collins and Dunne were immense. Martin O Neill (and Pulis for that matter) is someone Arsene would do well to watch and learn from. You can build successful sides and keep a bit of dignity and class. Add in the fact that James Milner was so good to Ryan the other week in the England camp, I would go as far to say that Villa are my favourite visiting club this season. As for us, well a really good effort against a top team. We continue to develop very nicely indeed. Not felt this positive after a goalless draw for a long time. -agree but do think they were a bit dirty at times and should have had a man sent off.was very impressed with collins,we missed out there i think.id have taken a draw before the game but do think we had more chances and should have won really

Agree. And it isn't their fault that no-one but no-one mentions that they are even taller than Stoke City's constantly referred to 'basketball players.' ??? Or that the only reason they don't use a long thower, is that they, in common with the rest of the PL, don't have the requisite expertise.
