Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, whose side were booed at the final whistle, when the Emirates Stadium was near-empty: "We started well but, after that, everything went wrong - injuries, decisions, going down to 10 men and the chances missed. It was a bad day, not on the quality of our display but everything went against us. "I'm not happy with the (second penalty) decision but I'm more unhappy with the spirit the referee let the game go in, I was quite amazed. "But it's not my job to talk too much about that, I have to take care of the team. What hurts me is to disappoint people who love the club. All the rest I have to live with, but I'm here to make people happy and when I do not I can only say sorry and come back and make them happy in the next game. We could have won the game today with the players we had on the pitch, I'm convinced of that."

But we knew about that pre-game. As I said earlier that can't be give as the reason for that result today. Regardless of whether we are good enough to do well this season (we know we're not atm), the point still remains that the team that played today should have been able to take care of Villa at home. Let's discuss perhaps what the team did wrong, how it can be fixed tactically and what approach to take for Wednesday. Banging on about signings is kind of missing the point.

We've got a big qualifier coming up in the Champions League. There can be no mistakes now - we've got to push on. We've got to pick ourselves up and go again. "We felt good going in, confident and started well. But we dropped our level. We tried to pick it up again but they got the penalty." On seeing many fans leave early and then the boos at the final whistle from the few who remained: "It is understandable, they pay their money to watch us and we need to put in better performances and win games. My message to them is to stick with us - it's a long season."

Even if he wasn't the most talented of players (gladly he is) it's that characteristic I love to see in a player when they pull on a Arsenal jersey or of any team I throw my support behind such as Ireland.

Marty McFly wrote: » I wasn't aiming that as a bashing towards any of the other players in the squad some of our players are very talented, its just a a fact there is very few footballers in football these days that show that same desire, hunger and passion as Wilshere does which is why I love him as an Arsenal player. And oi stop of that pessimistic talk of Wilshere leaving maybe in the future this season no or next season no in the future who knows but we have enough pessimistic talk in here without adding that into the mix .
