    Interesting to see Arsenal fans and Villa fans on this thread slating the ref. Is he just really, really poor or seen to be favouring your opposition? In my opinion he's been fair, in that he's sucked evenly for both teams

    Especially at half time in a game we are drawing. Im goina give em the benefit of the doubt and say its towards the ref

    He's clearly out of his depth but we're causing ourselves problems too. we can't blame the ref on everything.

    That's one way to look at it. :P

    Gibbs is grand, just needed stitches.

    Ox, Giroud and Rosicky have been doing pretty well. rest of the midfield have been poor. Dissappointed slightly with Ramsey, doesn't look the same player without Arteta beside him.


    I think Wilshere has been playing well so far.

    Is this his first game in the premiership?

    For Villa he failed to send off Schezny and booked Luna for nothing. For Arsenal he penalised them for niggly fouls and might have given them a couple of borderline penalty decisions. He also failed to stop the game when players were down with head injuries.

    No he is just absolutely awful for both teams, hence the moaning. Hes been awful and heavily involved, which doesn't help him.

    think thats just it, he has been poor in general. Arsenal fans may say that a stop start game like this might suit Villa but their keeper could have been arguably sent off and Luna got a yellow card for being kicked in the chest so I dont think you can say the ref is favouring Villa

    He is but he needs to keep his mouth shut cause this ref is card happy. We can't afford to lose him to a silly second yellow card.

    Cazorla on for Oxo

    so weird to see a poster defending booing after only 45mins of the season where his team isn't losing

    In fairness I can understand a ref making mistakes. Everybody messes up.

    But when they stop the game, giving stupid little free's for nonsense that's what does my head in.

    Should be a great second half

    Ox injured ? Thought he was our brightest player in the 1st half hope he's ok for midweek - hope Caz is over that long trip

    FFS Giroud should have done much better there.

    Lot of time for Rosicky. No defending him there. Should be 2-1.
