okay seriously I really hope no one is going to defend kelvin after this

 

not just KD the whole defense is complete rubbish bar Yoshida have to see how he goes first.

Ok, I'm in. Our defence is shocking. Even Clyne who's had a few good games looks poor today. Yoshida does look OK, but it'll take more than just him. Still, Arsenal are quality, and judging by the Norwich/West Ham game earlier, we'll have our chances to pick up some points.

Not a good day for Clyne really. Was swiping at shaddows for that one.

 

He's had a bit of a bad one.

 

Bright sparks for me - Yoshida, looks assured.

 

Ramirez, looks too good for us.

 

Other than that, players like Morgan and WP have dropped well below the levels they've set this season.

I don't understand:

 

A) Why people suddenly aren't worried.

B) Why people believe our defence will get better with time.

C) Why people are surprised that Ramirez is good.

why are you so worried about what other people are thinking..?

The number 1 thing that annoys me about watching these games is that whilst the premier league is mean't to be the best in the world the commentators are not. They have no professional integrity as they are normally just name who talk about football and normally the Top 4 teams at that.

 

Stop sucking off famous players, read up on the lower placed teams, understand the progression each team has made and know the players strengths and weaknesses.

 

Why do you think Gary Neville is a surprise as a pundit !!! its cos you are all crap and he puts effort into his craft unlike you numpties.

 

Rant over.

 

Couldn't agree more. Living in China I get the benefit of Chinese commentary so can get the sycophantic ****s out of my ears.

I guess we just aren't as smart and well informed as you?

The commentator just said "just as Southamtpton were looking the better side".....shame.

 

I actually think there has been a conspiracy against Saints. I have never known any team to have such a bad start in terms of opening fixtures.

This reminds me of many of our previous visits to Highbury...

 

Never a happy hunting ground for us...

 

Yup, how long til Giroud comes on. Seem to remember both Bergkamp and Henry scoring after a drought against us.

A) What makes you think that?

B) Opposition will get worse, Clyne will get better with experience and Yoshi looks decent so far.

So frustrating. We look great sometimes and pass it really well. But whenever a team run at us they look like scoring.

 

Down the left, usually. Can't see that changing through any sort of coaching, unfortunately, as it's just a limitation in Fox's game at this level. I reckon it's going to be a case of score more than you in this 1st half of the season!

ooh it's a corner

a) Because I thought we would lose to Man Utd, City and Arsenal, with more than 2 goals difference in each game. We've done better than that.

b) Because the introduction of two new defenders in a back five will always take more than 4 games (1 in the cb's case) to gel

c) I'm not

A - 'Suddenly' implies you had no idea what you were talking about in the first place and don't understand how to properly judge a performance.

B - That's what new teams with good players, coaching and managers do. That's what we have done consistently over the last few years.

C - Nobody is surprised, but that doesn't mean his quality shouldn't be mentioned.

D - Your posts make you look a bit of an idiot.

For A and C, have you read the last couple of pages? B, I disagree, confidence will wane after a poor start.

What has reading the last few pages got to do with anything, when you could watch the game (live or online for free) and make your own mind up, based on what you see?

It must be that, but people really do make out they're well informed. Guess I should just not take any notice as they blatantly aren't.

I think we are just trying to make ourselves feel better by justifying the situation, share the suffering! Half way between that justification and the most extreme negative views, lies the truth!

Get a grip people

 

Man City

 

Wigan ( ill let you moan about that one)

 

Man utd

 

Arsenal

 

Please !!!

 

I was thinking 1 point at best

 

Me too. Wigan result the only one I can moan about really. It's just that they've all come at once. If they'd been spread across the season then it wouldn't look so bad.

Much like you mate I'd imagine. Very few well informed on here just many with differing opinions.

Fox and Fonte are awful again.

 

Only positive is gaston looks decent, lets move on to the next, we have played 3 teams who will finish at worse 5th, any team below 8th can be won at home, and needs to be.

A,B and C were superfluous. You could have just posted D. ;)
