It was a weekend of mixed emotions for Villa fans, writes Villa blogger Gregg Williams.

While we can be pleased with the efforts of the players on Saturday, the last minute goal we conceded was heartbreaking.

As the away side, playing the team sitting top of the league, I was impressed with our pressing game and threat on the break, but the equaliser had a sad air of inevitability about it.

As lucky as our opening goal was, we created the best chances in the game and Gabby, Ashley Young and Super Marlon could all have secured the three points.

There was controversy too, surrounding the behaviour of our away support.

Obviously I can’t condone the ‘Eduardo’ song that was sung by Villa fans at the game, but to expect sensitivity from passionate football fans packed on the terraces with a few beers down them is always going to be expecting too much.

If memory serves Arsenal fans have been criticised in the recent past for singing songs relating to the Holocaust at Spurs fans, so I think they should get a bit of perspective before jumping on their high horses.

It was, after all, just a chant.

Nobody died, of course it was a horrible injury but you’ll struggle to find a more merciless audience than a football crowd.

Down the years I’ve seen games on TV and live where players have taken stick for alleged infidelity, drug taking, their sexuality, imprisonment of relatives… the list is endless.

I even remember Blues fans sang about Dion Dublin breaking his neck while he was at Villa.

I’m sure Eduardo has more important things to think about than the chants of a few hundred Villa fans and if I were an Arsenal fan I’d be more worried that the small minority inside the Emirates could be heard at all when the majority should have been getting behind their team.

To be honest I’m far more concerned with reports of bad behaviour outside the ground.

From what I’ve heard some of our supporters acted more like the arrogant hordes of Man Utd’s travelling support, with the police being forced into making a number of arrests.

This is troubling, and out of character for us.

I relish any opportunity I get to take in an away game and I have never seen anything like what seems to have happened on Saturday.

I hope the main perpetrators will be punished and this will end up being an isolated incident rather than the start of a trend.

I’m all for taking thousands of fans wherever we go, but if this sort of behaviour becomes a trademark for us I would be very disappointed.
