Southampton 1-1 Arsenal - Match Thread

[Mr X]

Walcott genuinely dived! 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

That was a weird booking to get from Theo. Ref quite right, but theo battles for it on the floor, after he's dived. Silly.

[Saint NL]

That's a horrific dive 🤣

Why would you bring Walcott on in a game like this? 

Because he's actively trying to get sacked, remember?

What?!?! Arsenal diving all game, ref yellows Walcott for going down easy...

Was more obvious than the one he gave against Saka.

[OttawaSaint]

Been a very good 2nd half but JWP has been really really bad today. 

[DT]

5 minutes. we always seem to get the bad end of these. come on saints. hold on, PLEASE

Five minutes extra!

I’m not worried, you’re worried!

[Saint_clark]

Diallo and JWP been disappointing today in the middle. I know Lavia is back soon but I would genuinely consider giving Lyanco a go in CM as back up in the future.

[adrian lord]

The referee has done very well this match, allowing for physicality, and punishing simulation

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Into injury time. C'mon Saints!

[Chez]

where have they found five minutes from?

[Saint_clark]

Jwp genuinely deserves to be dropped for that backheel attempt there.

[OttawaSaint]

Fuck off Prowse!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Hoof! Good to get that one clear.

[adrian lord]

I like the cut of Lyanco’s jib. 

[Suhari]

Lyanco.

I am forming a man crush.

[Chez]

limey three Arsenal players at back post and no sainst players. Got away with that

[Holmes_and_Watson]

JWP... that was poor.

SO bad in the situation. He's been poor all season. Shadow of the player he was. I think proves how big Romeu was in his game

[Lee On Solent Saint]

What a fuckin time to lose the sky signal

[OttawaSaint]

That was nearly it, Edozie cross, Moi header...Walcott......didn't quite make it...

[niceandfriendly]

I love Lyanco but that could've been a red

[DT]

Good dive Che. That's more like it

[Holmes_and_Watson]

ooooh. I was thinking Theo was going to get that.

He’s been brilliant for the last few years, he was due a bit of a form drop. Hopefully he gets out of his own head and picks up again.

No it couldn't, overreaction but he didn't raise hands to the guy's face and he didn't even make any real contact with the movement of the head.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Lyanco had an elbow in the first half, then a head butt attempt there. EIther of those could be very costly for us, and the manager will have to have a word.

I was literally just about to post this word for word.

[Lighthouse]

It’s nice to have some genuine sh*t housing in the team. DCC and Lyanco haven’t let them have it their way.

[Saint NL]

Lyancos attempted headbutt was lucky it missed

[adrian lord]

Ely awarded man of the match at Sky.

 

The second half performance has been excellent overall. 

[Saint_clark]

In before that pigeon in the goal stops it on the goal line.

[nta786]

SAINTS 1 Arsenal 1 FT

[DT]

MASSIVE point. Well done Saints. YESSSSSSSSSS

[obelisk]

1-1 draw. Take that.

[Maggie May]

Awesome point.

[Suhari]

Really good point and battling performance that.

Take a bow Saints.

Could have been a red if his ridiculous head movement connected with their player. I agree no contact, hence why I said "could have been" a red.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Mo is man of the match!

This is also the secret password for a takeover of the country. A phrase considered so unlikely, that there could be no confusion if it was used*. 🙂

 

*I've not complained when Ralph has been picking him, so kidding.

[striker]

Possibly the best half played all season

[OttawaSaint]

1-1  Ft. That'll do nicely.  Well done Saints!

[DT]

Just look at the passion Lyanco showed at the final whistle. Love him. Please play Edozie more, Ralph. Genuine quality and pace.

[Chez]

"Players clearly don't want to play for the manager."

What a load of fucking bollocks.

Great effort in the second half. Whatever was said at half time worked a treat.

Well done Saints. 

[Saint NL]

Fantastic result and second half performance.

 

Well done all. I feared a spanking after the first 10-15 mins but that was very good. Quite comfortable and could have possibly nicked it. 

Much more like it.

[Viking Saint]

Ely MotM? Granted, that was his best game for us but Lyanco all day long

[OttawaSaint]

That ref has still not reffed a Saints loss. Legend!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Well done to get back into that, and to have posession near their box towards the end, so we weren't hanging on.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Much deserved, even more impressive with the players that we are missing

*Cough*

Player of the pitch or something similar (I believe).

Let's not assume his gender.
