Saints 1-0 Arsenal - Match Thread

Crazy effort by JWP would have loved something like that to go in

Weird flight of the ball on that corner from JWP. Intentional?

Ian Darke shut up Bertrand going nowhere

How about you do your research and hear that he wants to stay

100% intentional, completely different shape and flight from his normal corners. Leno nowhere near, would have been an outstanding goal.

Romario out for Saints according to Keown 🤣

Technically, he’s not wrong.

[sydney_saint]

One of the best bits of skill I've seen in ages. So hard to hit it like that. Looked deliberate to me, he struck the ball differently to normal. I tell you now if that was Bruno the commentators wouldn't question it

[Sheaf Saint]

Great start. I wonder how long we can maintain this intensity though. 

[igsey]

Walcott up against Cedric on the right wing, I'm sure I've seen that before somewhere...

[OttawaSaint]

We’re leaving our right side wide open. Guess Ralph still doesn’t rate Cedric...

[trousers]

Tempting fate I know, but I can't remember the last time we didn't comfortablly dominate the first 20 mins or so of a game. Shame we don't always capitalise with a goal.

[Mr X]

Arsenal much improved lately but we've started ok, without much goal threat 

[OttawaSaint]

What a play by Adams. So unlucky!

[trousers]

Great play by Adams!

[nta786]

Che unlucky great effort!

[Saint Pete]

Great stuff there Che, unlucky good save.

[OttawaSaint]

Yikes, there’s the danger of that offside trap!

[Turkish]

Nearly did what we did to Liverpool 

[Sheaf Saint]

Oh that deserved a goal. Lovely skill from Che. 

[trousers]

What was that Theo? Decent build up though 

[Mr X]

Walcot does everything right till he get near goal he just hasn't got the strike skills of ings or even Adams 

[trousers]

* Football cliche klaxon *

We're going to regret not converting our early dominance into a goal

Hope so! 

[igsey]

Apparently some other clubs would have fired their manager after losing 9-0 so we've done really well showing faith in our manager.

Incredibly inciteful commentary. 

[adrian lord]

Yesss

 

[nta786]

GTFI!! KWP!!!

[OttawaSaint]

yesssssss!!!!

[OttawaSaint]

It’s now [s)eight hours[/s] one minute since Arsenal have conceded a goal...

Boom! (Ok, it was 24 mins but I'll take that )

[DG]

Get in.

[OttawaSaint]

Our passing is nice and crisp and accurate so far...

[OttawaSaint]

We’re all over them! Coys!!!

[Turkish]

What we don’t want to do now is concede a goal

[trousers]

Oooh... Great connection on that volley from Ings. Well blocked 

[trousers]

Bertie goes for the conversion...

[Mr X]

What a waste from Bertrand

[trousers]

Sloppy from Diallo there. Got away with it 

[Suhari]

Cedric cross!

[OttawaSaint]

Heart in mouth there, Stephens nearly gave them the ball in front of goal...

[Micky]

Any links anybody,  the one above doesn't work for me

[Saint Pete]

So unnerving watching Forster trying to play out from the back! Unnerving watching Forster full stop really.

[trousers]

Free kick on KWP surely?

[OttawaSaint]

Free header Ings! Need a second here, we’re well on top!

[Suhari]

A familiar, nagging feeling coming along for me: second half performances are rarely as good as our first these days.

Need a second before halftime!

[Saint Pete]

Ings should definitely better there, free header.
