good to see you have hope again Homie :) Expecting the opposite from Sainthacker sometime soon (especially with their forthcoming fixtures)

Plenty of bad sides should give everyone hope
I’ve been on this thread a lot less in the last 18 months due to frustration and the usual repetitive arguments. Although I’ve noticed Arsenal getting less stick of late. I may have to post a few more times this season as I fear Saints will have me posting in the championship thread next year.

All our good work under Liebherr (Markus) undone by penny pinching by his daughter and the Chinese lot.

Probably because Sawtooth isn’t here to take the bate.
Spurs seem to be the new Arsenal 🤣

Arsenal were getting stick because over the last 5+ years every year has been groundhog day and Wenger seemed happy to accept relative mediocrity. 4th place, ignore the obvious weaknesses, pretend everything was okay? This year, new manager, he is addressing the weaknesses, aims are higher, football is exciting = no stick, only praise. It was the stubbornness to ignore the obvious, and defend it, that was causing the posts, not a plain dislike of arsenal.

Southampton need to ditch Hughes quickly or you will be in real trouble, if you aren't already. You need to give the next manager as much time as you can give him. Keep Hughes and you are going down.

Neil Warnock, always an irritant, always a prat. Sorry Cardiff but I hope you go down purely so we no longer have to listen to him.

Impressed by Liverpool allowing Trent Arnold to take free kicks when it suits his eye. How many teams in the past have hamstrung themselves by having the 'big name' only to take them. Free kick after free kick wasted because of ego. Brilliant goal by him yesterday (yes that hurt)

Great goal by Son. Underrated player who doesn't get the plaudits he deserves.

Certainly does by me, I was singing his praises last season and was reliably informed by a few spuds fans on here the team struggles to be set up with him and Kane in the team. Seem to be doing more than ok at the moment.👍

horrible looking arsenal line up today. no ozil, no ramsey, no lacazette. 5 at the back. looks very unbalanced to me in what i thinks a tough away game
I don't think Ramsey missing is a big issue, though having no Laca or Ozil is odd choice, but Unai has done well for us so far this season and our weakness is at the back so hopefully come 90mins the tactics work out

id have Ramsey over any of the midfield apart from Torreira, especially if Ozil not playing, really dont understand why hes been marginalised to be given away next year. Streets ahead of Xhaka, Mhiki and Iwobi as a footballer

Looks like were gonna hang on for the 3 points despite Mustaphi diving in again :) Decent results despite not playing that well bodes well in some degrees

Just found this on Deezer. And it’s the second in the series. Who knew?!

Damn you Huddersfield. Great win at Wolves for them but we're now bottom again. Still, the gap between us and the Terriers has closed. Good result for Arsenal who didn't look great today and definitely got lucky with their first goal but they seem to be able to grind results

Think that's the major difference for us this season under Emery we've fou d a way to grind when we need to, hopefully the best is yet to come
