nta786 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 2-0! What a result Only negative would be JWP finishing... Forster was amazing, Mane's goal quality. We March On. Also, anyone know how Tim got on?
Saint Matty 76 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Fantastic win, like you say the only negative is the finishing but it speaks wonders that we were able to miss so many chances but still beat Arsenal comfortably.
Batman Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Fantasic win. we were really worth another goal at least Pelle and JWP missing very easy chances But they contributed to another excellent team performance... Vic was my MoM owned that midfield
Ohio Saint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 A 2-0 win against Arsenal with ALL those missed chances? Excellent!!!
Saint86 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 "Forster, Pelle, Tadic, Mane are all not up to standard" - right lol... Great result, and excellent way to start the new year! Great job saints... We need to sing Toby!! Absolute snip at £8m when only 23.
Viking Warrior Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Well done saints . I wish I was able to get a match stream on my iPad
Wiggles31 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 YES!!!!! Wow. Things are getting mental. We are well in for 4th now. We will not get a better chance of CL football. Huge result. Things just can't any better right now. How many clean sheets is that? MOTD will be a cracker tonight too.
JakkoUK Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 ACE.. results have gone our way today also! Couldn't wish for any more. Just absolutely spiffing.
Baird of the land Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Very nice to get revenge for the 1-0 loss at their place. When i saw their midfield i was hopeful but by the sounds of it, it was their defence that handed the game to us. Other results went well for us too. Nice cushion to teams below. Really hoping we can keep this going.
farawaysaint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Shout out to Tadic who had his first good game in a while, looked like the player of a couple of months ago.
redkeith Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Could easily of been 8 0 . Pelle hit the post twice and had one cleared off the line and JWP should have had a hat-trick. We got lucky with Gardos for the yellow card but we should have been 4 nil up by them. Can someone start a thread slagging of JWP cause it worked well for Mane.
Plastic Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Expected nothing from this, they weren't great but we totally outplayed them in the second half. Best saints performance since.... Sunderland?
SNSUN Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 I actually had this as a nailed on draw. That's £60 quid I'm delighted never to see again. So many Arsenal supporting friends will be hearing about this for a while. That's our "big club" jinx this season ended. Top 4 finish well on course.
Lighthouse Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Sweating, shaking, heart pounding then jumping around my flat shouting at FT. We are serious customers this season, you'd better believe it.
Jonnyboy Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Fantastic. 6 attempts each on target shows Forster's quality today, Saints clinical finishing plus defensive slip ups from Arsenal. Every player played well. Poor finishing from Pelle & JWP though.
GarrettIvo Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Good for Tadic to get that goal. Could see what it did for his confidence immediately. Pelle should have scored from either the free header or with the mostly empty net. How he picked out Debuchy I don't get. Forster was excellent. Gardos very good and maybe lucky to just get a yellow. Gooners World will be going mental at that for sure. If JWP can get his finishing boots on he will be a decent threat.
BotleySaint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Scary to admit - but we were quite comfortable in that match really.
Sheaf Saint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Wowzer. What a superb team performance today. Couldn't be happier with that result, especially with WHam dropping points and Liverpool foooking it up against Leicester. Really should have had more goals though. JWP could easily have had a hat-trick. And I have to say I'm starting to get a little concerned about Pelle's goalscoring form. He really needs one to go in soon to get his confidence back up, because he has missed some real sitters recently. Can we start to dream about the CL now?
Rich102 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Fantastic performance, defensively organized and great intensity across the pitch. Only let down by poor finishing. I was sure Arsenal would catch us over the season but based on this 4th is very much in our hands. They look nothing like champions league challengers, and we just really do.
tajjuk Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Great win, well deserved by the sounds of it as well. Blip over and we can go to Utd full of confidence and hopefully with Clyne and Morgan back as well. Everton lost, Swansea drew, Man Utd drew, Liverpool drew, West Ham drew. If Chelsea can beat Spurs it will be a decent day. We are really in this top 4 race now,

Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Wanyama was a beast again, but with silky touches today. RESULT!
Under Weststand Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 What a brilliant start to the new year. Looks like we are not going away easily this season. Well deserved 3 points today should have been more than 2-0 but more than happy with that.
Window Cleaner Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Excellent result, expected us to win though because Arsenal's defence and DM are pisces poor. Doubt that they'll make the Champions League this season, we might if we're lucky enough.
OttawaSaint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 I think Chelsea must have rubbed off on us, our passing at times was unplayable. Only down side was the wastefulness in front of goal. Big Vic was absolutely amazing, strength, power, composure, skill, vision and swagger... Tadic looked better, Davis lively game Toby and Fonts were excellent. Bertrand very very good, liked Gardos up until the rash challenge. Finally we beat Arsenal... What a great start to 2015!!!
washsaint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 so proud of Saints. Cannot believe the job that our Ron has done: he has turned us into real European candidates. The way the whole team has responded to the blip has been amazing: as bad as Mane was on the wing, he has been sensational playing off Pelle. Some very tough games coming up but we know Saints will battle as a unit and will be competitive. This is unbelievable.......noone in their right mind would have predicted this in the summer! Now for a Chelsea win!
SNSUN Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 36 points and 19 points clear of the relegation zone. I can safely say we won't get relegated. :-)
Micky Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 "Top team win" monkey off our back. Great result, bring it on for United.
Jimmy_D Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Bloody Hell. Have had to keep track of this game on here and BBC live text... it'll take a while to calm down. Unbeaten in 2015 Amazing set of results today... we really are in the race for the Champion's League.
Sheaf Saint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 He had a good game? 2 off the post and one off the line. That's exactly my point. None of them went in did they.
Lighthouse Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Great win, well deserved by the sounds of it as well. Blip over and we can go to Utd full of confidence and hopefully with Clyne and Morgan back as well. Everton lost, Swansea drew, Man Utd drew, Liverpool drew, West Ham drew. If Chelsea can beat Spurs it will be a decent day. We are really in this top 4 race now, Forget last season, Everton aren't in it this year. 4 points above the drop zone and leaking goals at an alarming rate.
Dalek2003 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 36 points and 19 points clear of the relegation zone. I can safely say we won't get relegated. :-) 4 more points needed.
austsaint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Big Vic outstanding in holding that midfield together; Gardos was good if lucky to only be subbed and not sent off; Davis had a good second half; Forster kept us in it at times when the game was tight. Special mention for Harry Reed, terrier like and a bit more technical skill about him than RK gives him credit for. How much grumpier can Mr Wenger get?
UpweySaint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 That's exactly my point. None of them went in did they. Small margins though ... he was inches away from getting two or even three goals. If he has he would have been a hero. I agree with the sentiment that a goal may give him a touch more of his early confidence back but he's still playing well and his hold up/linking play is crucial to us just like Lambert last season.
NewYorkSaint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Incredible game. Probably should have been 5-2, with the last two goals coming against 10-man Saints. But anyone who saw both this and the game at the Emirates would conclude we're the better team. We didn't deserve to lose there. And here we deserved to win by more than 2 goals. Top 4 absolutely achievable. Maybe even top 3. We're as good or better than Man U based on our game with them. Sure I'd be more than happy with top 6, but it's good to dream. Victor Wanyama, Sadio Mane are world top 20 on their day.
bilbot79 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Lol. On the arsenal forum yesterday they were saying 'Wanyama is nothing without Schneiderlin' haha
Leicestersaint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Great result - ill today so couldn't go and had to watch it online. A very good team performance - the only downside si that we should have scored more - 4 - 0 would have been fair.
View From The Top Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 This team is the real deal. Fantastic.
View From The Top Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Wanyama totally owned that midfield today. Owned it.
Lighthouse Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 We might even be first on MOTD! Surely? Well down the order. I'm going to guess Man City Newcastle Liverpool Saints Stoke Hull QPR West Ham Villa Spurs Chelsea likely to go above us too with anything more than 1 goal.
