Southampton vs Arsenal. FA Cup 4th Round. 28th Jan. 17:30

[Marc Overmars]

I think it's time we ended the St Mary's hoodoo.

1-2.

[AFC Leveller]

Prez, Welbz, Theo etc should all play. If we can cut out the usual mistakes at St Mary's, we'll win this.

[Globalgunner]

I think it's time we ended the St Mary's hoodoo.

1-2.

Weve been having a hard time down there ever since the LeTissier days.
They are a good team with an astute coach. Coming off a good victory. We will do well to get a draw. Sad but true.

[AFC Leveller]

Their first choice CB pairing is no more, Fonte left and Vandijk is injured. plus they played their first last night and should be knackered.

[selassie]

My thoughts too. They are very well organised and hard to break down...whatever team we put out will struggle down there IMO.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lucky dip, random. Depends if we turn up.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

couldn't care less about this fixture

[Xhaka Can’t]

Lucky dip, random. Depends if we turn up.

Another 3 points down the drain.

[fakeyank]

We are losing this.

[Letters]

We are losing this.

No spoilers :angry:

[Coca Kolo]

This will go to a replay....

[Letters]

This will go to a replay....

I'd take that given our record there although we could do without an extra game.

[Master Splinter]

Time for Puel to follow in the footsteps of Fergie's cronies and lay down for us.
Wenger :doh:.

Can't even produce compliant cronies.


No need to rest anyone apart from Alexis and maybe Koscielny. Actually resting Alexis will probably put his form back a week. Ozil has had two winter breaks this season so should be fresh in the second half of the campaign. Welbz, Theo, Bellerin and some others who have been injured a few times or played less should be helpful in games like this.

That line up is awful, Jesus Christ!!!

[Maestro]

What channel is this game on, for the first time in ages I feel like watching a game.

[Niall_Quinn]

BT Sport 2

Wenger has completely fucked the team up again. Looks like about 8 changes. He never learns.

Walcott has mysteriously reappeared - nice sneaky winter break.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good team I say.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger has become totally obsessed with the imaginary challenge of playing multiple games in a week. He really does seem to think it's an impossibility and he makes these beyond ridiculous team selections as a result.

[AFC Leveller]

Very attacking team, no central midfielders!! Will either win 6-0 or lose 1-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton: Lewis, Martina, Stephens, Gardos, McQueen, Reed, Clasie, Hojbjerg, Sims, Isgrove, Long.

Not first choice by some way.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil and Ramsey "injured" according to WUMger.

[Niall_Quinn]

Southampton: Lewis, Martina, Stephens, Gardos, McQueen, Reed, Clasie, Hojbjerg, Sims, Isgrove, Long.

Not first choice by some way.

Nope. Absolutely no excuses available today. We should walk it against that lot, and I suspect we will. Walk I mean.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jake Humphrey is a gobshite.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jeff has a shot but blocked. Good move though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just too strong across goal from Ox.

Reine-Adelaide. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Good grief. Should have been a goal. Where the hell was Welbeck?

[Maestro]

Win or lose, it's refreshing watching a different line up. It's not like our first eleven is playing great football and frankly there are a few first team players who are either just not good enough or badly off form.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shit shot from Ox.

[Niall_Quinn]

Win or lose, it's refreshing watching a different line up. It's not like our first eleven is playing great football and frankly there are a few first team players who are either just not good enough or badly off form.

The midfield certainly looks a lot brighter and more interesting to watch.

Ox doing a Ramsey there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo assuming the Ramsey role today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was the right ball from Bellerin, just crap execution.

[A Gunner]

0 - 1 Welbeck!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WELBECK!!!!!! :bow:

[Maestro]

Get in there Danny, nice goal

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

1-0 Welbeck

Well deserved

[Niall_Quinn]

Good finish there from Welbz.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez offers a lot when he plays.

[Dicks and chicks]

Sub off welbz before he gets injured avian

[Dicks and chicks]

Perez offers a lot when he plays.

Suspect him to be benched for the next 3 matches

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sub off welbz before he gets injured avian

Before he gets an injured bird?

[Niall_Quinn]

They favour the ball into the centre way too much. We have a ton of space on the flanks today but we aren't using it.

[selassie]

Really solid start from us, we look dangerous going forward.

[Maestro]

Perez offers a lot when he plays.

this

[Maestro]

wwwwwwwwww

[Maestro]

Dannnnnnnyyyyyyy

[A Gunner]

0 - 2 Welbeck

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WELBECK!!!!!

:bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

0-2 Welbz again. Nice composed finish again.

[Ernesto]

Wow! Welbz. Good to see him back

[Niall_Quinn]

Nice ball over the top there into space. As soon as we cut out that sideways backwards nonsense we are dangerous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ospina goes sightseeing.

[Niall_Quinn]

Crazy stuff from Ospina.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ospina with the Hollywood save from Long.

[Globalgunner]

Nice ball over the top there into space. As soon as we cut out that sideways backwards nonsense we are dangerous.

Looks like the playing instructions from on high may be being ignored by Bould. Good on him,

[Maestro]

loving this line up, good to finally see something different, I was really getting tired the same old shit from players like Giroud, Ramsey, Montreal, Ozil etc. Were were virtually down to a one man team, with Alexis single handedly pulling us out of fires through sheer super human effort

[Niall_Quinn]

Mustafi should have scored there.

[Gooner23]

Would love to see Welbz, Alexis and Lucas as the front 3 in the prem. Ozil feeding them chances.

[Maestro]

good free kick position for southampton there, dangerous for us

[Maestro]

how long is wenger banned for?

[Niall_Quinn]

Damn it. The fucking backwards passing.

[Maestro]

wowwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!

fucking good football here

[A Gunner]

0 - 3 Walcott

[Niall_Quinn]

how long is wenger banned for?

3 games.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

THEO!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

This stupid BT feed, at least 2 mins behind the pirate streams.

0-3 Walnut finally shows up. Great work by Welbz again.

[Ernesto]

Walcott!

But welbz, you magnificent beast

[Globalgunner]

3 games.

Cant we appeal to get it doubled to 6?

[Maestro]

3 games.

fuck that's too short, they should have given him a 10 game censure. so enjoying not seeing his face and sleeping bag on the touchline

[Niall_Quinn]

www dot, welbeck welbeck walcott - absolutely hilarious from Drury. Has to be the funniest joke in history.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Best I've seen us play in a while

[Gooner23]

Reverting back to a mobile front line is really enjoyable to watch. Hope Wenger has the balls not just to plonk Giroud back in for the Chelsea game.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

www dot, welbeck welbeck walcott - absolutely hilarious from Drury. Has to be the funniest joke in history.

He also seems to have worrying designs on young Geoff

[fakeyank]

Can we play a similar team every week? Remove the scums who slow down our movement i.e. Ramsey, Giroud, Xhaka and play some quick football. Dreading the next game when we will see that lump of meat upfront (Giroud) with Wenger's gay lover (Ramsey).

[Globalgunner]

Shane Long with the Superman punch on Ospina

[Niall_Quinn]

Best I've seen us play in a while

Ball has been in the air a lot more and the passes have been longer. Speed of the play and the movement much better. Ox dumping it into danger zones instead of tipping it 3 yards. Perez working his nuts off right across the line. All stuff you would expect fro a PL team. And a poor opponent tbf.

Ospina gets a knock.

[Niall_Quinn]

Reverting back to a mobile front line is really enjoyable to watch. Hope Wenger has the balls not just to plonk Giroud back in for the Chelsea game.

LOL - death, taxes and Bif for the chav game.

[Globalgunner]

This, "Just like a new signing" thing may actually apply this time in the case of Welbez

[Niall_Quinn]

Have to keep an eye on Alexis during the break, make sure he doesn't try to injure Welbz. I bet he's frothing to get on and bag a few.

[Globalgunner]

Gibbs being his ropey self again. Not strong enough..ever.

[A Gunner]

0 - 3 HT

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-3 HT.

We're definitely getting the Pace and Power treatment. :cloud9:

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 0-3.

First game in ages worth watching. Ox, Niles, Perez and Welbz all very good that half.

Is Wenger allowed in the dressing room? He'll be in there like a flash trying to shut this game down. Unfortunately for him Gibbs is already playing and no Flamini.

[Gooner23]

Nice half, more of the same please. Not sure what more Perez has to do to get a run in the team..

[Xhaka Can’t]

Wenger is a fucking insane French TWAT!!!!!!!

:gp:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Danny Mills is in meltdown judging by the BBC live text page.

[AFC Leveller]

Very attacking team, no central midfielders!! Will either win 6-0 or lose 1-0.

Innit

[GP]

Fucking Wenger. Bould has only been in charge for an hour and he's already got us playing better than anything we've seen in a decade. It's definitely all down to him.

[GP]

I'm off to La Grande Buffet

[Master Splinter]

Wele :bow:.

Also, Lucas is top, top quality.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maitland-Niles. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wenger in communication with the bench, trying to ruin it all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbz and Perez. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Jermaine Penis has been surprisingly unbiased, so far.

[Globalgunner]

Welbez:bow:

[Globalgunner]

Walcott. Truly a dufuss

[Niall_Quinn]

Great forward movement again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo is down the pub.

[Niall_Quinn]

Too much time for Theo to think there. Forced him to make a decision and that's always bad news.

[AFC Leveller]

How many games does it take to convince Wenger that we are at our best when we play with pace up front? We played Sanchez there and looked good and he is top scorer, today Welbz is reminding us in case we forgot.

Welbz, Alexis and Perez up front against Chelsea would cause havoc.

Giroud and Ramsey it is then..

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis has managed to persuade them to send him on.

[A Gunner]

Alexis on
Welbeck off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Isgrove off, Tadic on.

Long off, Redmond on.

Welbz off, Alexis on.

[Globalgunner]

Merts for Ox on 75 mins, I predict

[A Gunner]

0 - 4 Walcott

[McNamara That Ghost...]

THEO!!!

We're going goal mental this season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two more for Theo and up to 100 for us.

[Globalgunner]

Walcott, with no time to think. Scores

[Niall_Quinn]

Super stuff by Ox and Alexis. And Wally thumps it in. 0-4.

Soton woeful at the back tbf. They look half asleep.

[Master Splinter]

Two new signings today :bow:.

Plus The Jeff and Niles.

And do not forget The Ox in midfield.

So 5 new signings!

[A Gunner]

Iwobi on
Jeff off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jeff off, Iwobi on.

[Master Splinter]

We're going goal mental this season.

Away from home definitely. It's quite ridiculous really.

At home, we've only scored 4 or more once I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Danny Mills:


Can we go home?

:lol:

Crying for 3944848484 years.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Away from home definitely. It's quite ridiculous really.

At home, we've only scored 4 or more once I think.

We get to three often though, that tops it up.

[A Gunner]

0 - 5 Walcott Hattrick!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

THEO HAT-TRICK!!!

99. :bow:

Alexis. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

THREEOOOOO :bow:.

Lucas the new assisting-the-assister king :bow:.

[Niall_Quinn]

Beautiful, simple football. 0-5. Nothing complex or involved about that. Pass the fucker forward, inject a bit of pace, pick the right pass.

[selassie]

We've been near flawless today, superb team performance. :)

[Globalgunner]

Bould. :bow: can you manage us every week?

[Niall_Quinn]

I guess that's wwwww dot welbeck welbeck walcott walcott walcott :haha:

That's even funnier than the first time.

[Niall_Quinn]

Perez should have finished that off. Deserves a goal today.

[Ernesto]

It is absolutely no coincidence that we put Wenger in the stands and we always want to score. Right til the death. We haven't taken apart a premiership side like this in donkeys years (West ham in December was almost an anomaly)

[A Gunner]

0 - 5 FT

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 0-5 The Arsenal, FT! :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 0-5 AND a performance :bow:

Keep that French bloke in the stands FFS

[Niall_Quinn]

Sounds like Jake Humpty wanted Wenger to get the death penalty rather than a touchline ban.
