We went to Arsenal and we should have won. Bottom line; we did enough in the 90 minutes to warrant the three points and Arsenal should consider themselves lucky. Arsenal have never beaten us at the Emirates and long may it continue.

Up next is Middlesbrough at Villa Park. This has three points written all over it for us and while I don't think they'll go down when I look at our respective positions in the league table it puts a smile on my face that Gareth Southgate left us to 'achieve something in his career' – the muppet.
