Southampton v Arsenal, 13:30 GMT (16/12) SS Main Event

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Could do without the new manager bounce. Given we have little idea of what our defence will be in this match I presume we'll just have to blast ourselves to a win, again.

:penguin:

[Mac76]

If it's 5 at the back again then maybe kolasinac/nacho/kos/licht/hector?

[Marc Overmars]

I think we’re going to lose.

[dazthegooner]

Forever the optimist ;) Though they do say we're on form atm moment but for me even though it's 22 games unbeaten I don't think we have been playing that well and at times have been very lucky.

[AFC Leveller]

Saints always raise their game against us at their place and with their new manager coming in this has a draw written all over it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's hypefest for another Liverpool - Man Utd snoozefest is on now.

We might get a mention or two.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carragher, Michael Di Santa and Souness are in the studio.

[Marc Overmars]

Hope Koscielny isn’t too rusty. Pairing him with Steiner doesn’t fill me with much confidence.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton: McCarthy, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Yoshida, Valery, Hojbjerg, Romeu, Targett, Redmond, Armstrong, Ings.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They've turfed Carragher out for Neville now. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Le Tiss. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Roy Keane bot says on us "The big tests are coming". :unsure:

[Marc Overmars]

Come on you Gunners!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi ball in, not troubling anyone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McCarthy saves from Aubameyang!

[Mac76]

Dreadful ball from Iwobi

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Do more with it Mkhitaryan!

[Marc Overmars]

Poor from Mkhi there one on one

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Redmond shot, deflects behind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Armstrong shot easy for Leno.

[Mac76]

They're trying to injure kos again :rolleyes:

[Mac76]

Neat save from Leno

[Globalgunner]

We have a good keeper at last. Thank the Creator
Crap defending from all concerned there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Ings.

[Marc Overmars]

1-0 Ings

FFS

[Mac76]

That was coming tbh - we were letting them get too much space on that side

[Globalgunner]

Litch going with feet instead of his head. Bellend never blocks a cross

[Mac76]

We've got to replace Iwobi and Mkhi with better players asap

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ings combs one, Leno saves.

[Mac76]

Jeez, we're all over the place

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MKHITARYAN!!!!

[Marc Overmars]

MKHI!!!!

Good header

[Marc Overmars]

Need more of that running in behind from the fullbacks

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torreira nearly layed in on a plate for Aubameyang.

[Globalgunner]

Iwobi and Mikhi did good there along with Monreal

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka knew what he was doing. :unsure:

[Mac76]

We've got to replace Iwobi and Mkhi with better players asap

Me :pal:

[Mac76]

Hector trying to steal 20 yards :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Needed an earlier cross from Bellerin.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Ings again. :doh:

[Marc Overmars]

2-1 Ings again

Fuck off

[Mac76]

Fuck - leno just stood there

[Globalgunner]

Lich and Kos must be a comedy duo

[Letters]

First Half Arsenal :doh:

Come on, Second Half Arsenal

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 HT. :sick:

[Marc Overmars]

These fucking first halves

[Mac76]

Pretty shit first half, we know our defence is buggered but going forward we're not much better really

Laca on at HT?

[Marc Overmars]

Defence not the problem today, couldn’t have done too much about the goals.

There’s no conviction in what we’re trying to do up front.

[Globalgunner]

Defence not the problem today, couldn’t have done too much about the goals.

There’s no conviction in what we’re trying to do up front.

No no. We defended badly in both instances. First cut out the cross and secondly beat the attacker to the header.

[Mac76]

Sourness and Keane - talk about the two dirtiest c***s in football

[Mac76]

No no. We defended badly in both instances. First cut out the cross and secondly beat the attacker to the header.

On their second goal, I don't care if leno thought he couldn't get there, i get pissed off when a goalie doesn't at least try to get to the ball

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette on for Bellerin.

[Marc Overmars]

Another injury at the back FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aubameyang nearly equalising!

[Globalgunner]

Auba is suck a dick in front of goal. Definitely 2nd tier

[Mac76]

Another injury at the back FFS.

And now maybe nacho... ::(:

[Mac76]

I reckon we bring Ramsey on soon if there's no change

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bednarek booked. Run at him!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MKHITARYAN!!!!

[Marc Overmars]

MKHI!!!

Fluked it in but I’ll take it

[Mac76]

YES!!!

[GP]

GOLAZO!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh Iwobi. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Iwobi’s shooting :doh:

[Mac76]

Iwobi ::(:

[Globalgunner]

Iwobi. Always disappoints

Auba is so flukey

[Marc Overmars]

Steiner is so shit at getting his cross in

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Koscielny booked.

[Globalgunner]

If Kosc were a horse, he'd be destined for some factory now. Close to useless. Cant do anything right

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Redmond off injured, Long on. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kos faceplant. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great skill from Iwobi I think, shit Sky camera angle made it difficult to see though.

[Mac76]

McCarthy :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi off, Ozil on.

Come on Mesut. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Armstrong booked.

[Mac76]

Big call bringong on ozil ahead of ramsey

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Mac76]

Good to see ozil pressing

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Southampton. What a save from Leno!

[Marc Overmars]

Goal disallowed

[Mac76]

They really are trying to kill Kos

[Mac76]

Saints :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

This is a bit shit. Not really creating much.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valerie. :lol:

[Letters]

Disallowed goal for Southampton. What a save from Leno!

Female linemen :bow:

[Mac76]

Cmnon arsenal

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba can't get the touch properly.

[Mac76]

Damn - good move

[Globalgunner]

Auba can't get the touch properly.

Auba has been gash from the off today

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on you shits!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-2 Austin. Oh dear.

[Marc Overmars]

[mkkreuk]

Leno needs to be dropped.

[Marc Overmars]

That was trash from Leno

[Mac76]

Shit

[Letters]

Oh fuck off

[Mac76]

Nacho should have cut out that pass

[Globalgunner]

It doesnt matter how many defenders we have we cant defend 5 against 2 then

[Letters]

That was trash from Leno

This ‘keeper is not a keeper :angry:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come back Cech, all is forgiven.

[Letters]

Come back Cech, all is forgiven.

That’s the trouble with dropping Leno.
Is old man Cech a better alternative?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five added minutes.

[Mac76]

5 minutes ET cmon arsenal

[Mac76]

Wasted by guendouzi

[Letters]

Sideshow Bob heads it to the moon

Xhaka decides not to lump it up there. Twat.

Bollocks

[Marc Overmars]

[dazthegooner]

That’s the trouble with dropping Leno.
Is old man Cech a better alternative?

Is Martinez any good? (not seen much of him)
