Southampton match thread

[markyp]

normal service is resumed,ffs what shitty excuse is Wenker going to come out with now,maybe cos they'd had more match practice than us over christmas it made them sharper.AND HOW FUCKING BAD DO WE LOOK WITH GERVINHO AND RAMSEY ON FFS!!!!makes me wish we'd sign that useless peice of shit Nani just to keep those two useless twats off the pitch

[northbank123]

What on Earth can you say about that debacle? Our attacking football was lacking pace so he brings on Gervinho and Ramsey. I'm glad that in these days of dizzying prices Wenger can still find money to pay roughly £70k/w (reportedly) for Rosicky to sit on the treatment table and then remain on the bench when we're desperate for a player in his position to come on.

The sight of Gervinho flopping right like a fish out of water after slowing down and losing the ball for the umpteenth time is just a fucking embarrassment. The other 91 league clubs must be laughing at us. And a fair amount of those below that.

And to cap it all off Sagna looks like he's finally given in and become a fully-fledged member of our defensive circus.

Main problem was lack of balls

You should have left it as that!!

So many poor performers today. Their keeper looked shite at the start and we put zero pressure on him.

Sagna was a joke from start to finish. Nice to see Theo revert back to the performances we know so well from him.

you cant blame Theo,he got zero service today,he cant do it all on his own,Wenker should have left Pod on,he was shit but at least hes got a brain and his dangerous in the box,we'd have been there till tomorrow without scoring

Klingon falling over like some boozed up 16 stone old bint outside a kebab shop at 4am.

The day we get shot of Wenger will be celebrated by me more than any fucking trophy.

Sometimes when you have too many things to say it is better to just say nothing but to sum it up we are utter utter shite We have played some of the worst teams in the league plus bradford in the last month and we havent looked much better than any of them

I know that I am going over all ground here but what exactly does wenger do during a game ? I look at other managers and coaches who are constantly in their technical area instructing and cajolling their players but our c**t sits there like a lemon, sometimes he speaks but bouldie ignores him or he stands flapping his arms on the edge of the technical area - please fcuk off you c**t

If heavily criticised he'll undoubtedly refer to 4 wins in a row and how everybody thinks it's a crisis when we drop 2 points. Wouldn't even be surprised if he smugly refers to last season (AGAIN).

What possible excuse can he offer for today with being 'jaded' not an option considering that we didn't play Boxing Day and that it was his decision to start the same team again? I don't know if that rules out 'sharpness' too.

[MK Gould]

Anyone who went to Southampton today deserves their money back. Thinking of asking for compo myself, even though I only watched it on TV!

And WTF was Sagna up to.... Appalling for the whole 90 mins!

[swimmer1]

Ramsey and forehead trending enough said

[augie]

That was dire- towards the end it looked more like they would score than us. I'm sure they showed the stats that said we had 4 shots on goal all game

And only 1 on target

[Henry Norris 1913]

slow, unambitious shite.

[swimmer1]

what a weird side we are either we have 30 shots at goal or 0 to 5

[markyp]

even my girlfriend who knows fuck all about football( probably cos she hasnt worked 30 years in the sport) said why are Arsenal playing the ball backwards and you lot are shit,the other team are way better

[1989]

I was so dismayed by that performance and result but then I remembered Wenger's contract is up in a year which has cheered me right up!
