Just got back now. Actually thought we played good football today, people too often assume that we play great creative stuff but I don't automatically agree, but today we attacked with purpose and it was nice to see Gervinho actually running at players. For the first time in almost a year he showed the promise I saw in him, which is that he can actuallly skin men with consummate ease when he gets his head down and runs at them instead of hesitating. Helped that Southampton were shite too. Looked solid at the back again, Szczesny needs to stop being an arrogant prick though, needs a decent number 2 to put some pressure on.
Why are some posters on here pointing to the fact that Soton are not that good? They ran Utd and europes best striker damned close and did they not play well against City?
Today we got the result we deserved and it will boost morale going into a tough run of fixtures

^^^THIS^^^...I did hear that he comes on here to have a look now and thn...well, if you're reading this shez we love ya...BUT get shot of the arrogance and ego and stop flapping about like that other *word censored*!
Fuming. Cannot believe we are not the game on football first. We complain about MOTD but how bad is this. We win 6-1 in style but get bumped cos the OAPs score goals. PATHETIC.

Normally I can understand why we wouldnt be the main game on football first if we were after beating the likes of southampton but when they pick manure's game v wigan over it then that is just wrong

He just seems to make a disproportionate number of errors against poor teams, particularly at home. He would never have dreamed of trying to catch a cross so lazily when he first came into the team.
