Southampton (H) | PL | Sat 10 Sep | 3pm

[Ray C]

Also embarrassing that we are starting both Walcottt and Oxlade-Chamberlain this season after both have been completely dire for years.

[Wilson]

Giroud is turning into Adebayor. Ade used to beam ear to ear when he missed a sitter. Whilst Giroud beams whilst sticking his tongue out.

Strikers who laugh and see the light side of missing great chances need to fuked off right away. It shows a lack of seriousness and appreciation for the occasion.

He doesnt even come across as a player with a point to prove. He literally believes he has nothing to prove. When, considering he has never scored 20 league goals, or finished in the top 5 in the scoring charts, I dont know what would lead him to believe he has nothing to prove. But then again, he was signed 4 years ago, and it was only a month ago Wenger decided to give him some competition in Perez. More evidence of Wenger dithering and allowing years to formulate before actually doing something.

Not what, who?? Wenger that's who..... can you imagine Giroud under Pep or Mourinho??

I think it probably was a penalty, although most refs wouldn't have given it.

Cech left a ridiculous amount of the goal gaping and in reality it was a soft clip from Tadic nowhere near the corner. He is going from bad to worse.

Not very promising.

Just seen the goals this morning........I can only assume Cech had a bet on Tadic to get the first goal !

Looking at some of the other highlights like the ones in the second half against Long where he left half the goal empty and another one where he inexplicably chose to kick it out clumsily rather than just pick it up.......he's got the reactions of a disabled tortoise. Get rid FFS Chavski reject well and truly

Seriously people. Cech is a top keeper. Didn't do anything wrong yesterday, was beaten by a decent free kick.
Played well at Leicester and unfortunately, played behind a poor team against the scousers.
It's one thing moaning about the team and manager but picking holes in one of our better players.............really!

The biggest thing you want in a keeper s consistency. Cech just isn't showing that, far too many mistakes in his game.

[Redarmy]

that was no penalty.....Arsenal got out of jail on another day won't be so lucky

Arsenal tactics if any were shocking.....Southampton were set up well and had their chances

Also what the FUCK does Wenger say to them at the start......looked like they were given tranquillisers

[Henry Norris 1913]

i don't know, aside from the fact that play should have stopped fonte clearly had a hand full of giroud's shirt, then hung a leg out as he fell down. given the fact that the rules were changed this summer regarding shirt pulling i'm not sure what is actually wrong with the penalty? had it been given earlier in the game and not in injury time maybe not such a big fuss would have been made?

[Jumpers For Goalposts]

Went to this one with my son (free tickets in Club Level !!)

We were right behind the "penalty" and it was never a pen in a million years. Ref should've stopped play as Koscielny was lying right in front of Forster so definitely interfering with play. Ref was poor all game but that decision was woeful.

That was a Get Out Of Jail card for Wenger cos we were toothless up front and same old tippy tappy shite in midfield. No way is this squad going to challenge for anything other than 4th place.

Cech WAS a top keeper. If he still was then he'd either still be at Chavski or at one of Europe's other leading clubs. I saw him drop enough clangers in his last couple of years at Chavski to see that and again last season. His reactions are slow beyond belief and the amount of times he gets beaten from outside the box isn't a coincidence. His positioning for the free kick was pathetic and it was a little dink over the wall - just watching the analysis on Sky now and everyone agrees how shit his positioning was. Tadic didn't even have to hit it hard. Cech is yesterday's man - good enough for the top 4 maybe, but wasn't this the bloke we signed to win us an extra 10 points and make us title winners. Do me a favour - its like watching Seaman's last 2 or seasons

[Eboue-Why?]

Poor game, poor performance, poor atmosphere.....but the Guinness was as good as ever

but was he interfering with fonte and giroud? it doesn't change the fact that fonte had a massive handful of giroud's shirt does it? koscielny was surely not interfering with that?

goals on sunday seem to think it was soft but probably correct decision, they made no allusion to kos being injured. i seem to think that fans imagine there is there is a law in place that says kos is offside but actually isn't.

edit: if this isn't stonewall i don't know what is

Your opinion but I don't agree with you.
I'll just say though, watch the free kick again. Cech saves it by touching it on to the bar. You can hardly blame him if it rebounds and hits his back to go in.
Top keeper who will save us more points than mistakes he may make.

[Rugby Gooner]

Got back to Euston about 8pm after this one,to be greeted by loads of Scum getting off a train from Stoke. They took great delight in pushing women,kids and O.A.P.s aside as they "marched" across the concourse hurling abuse.
Total classless wankers.
