    Well those were the most one sided MOTD highlights I've seen in a while!

    Arsenal's shirts are shoddy....the lightest touch from the delicate hand of our leader and the neck rips. :rolleyes:

    I giggled at the "poll" at the end... Will Arsenal finish 4th? The choice is Yes. Hee, hee

    Wenger didn't like the question on MOTD about same old Arsenal, did he? Said they've been at the top for twenty years....true, but the question was about their failing to take the title.

    Sometimes you come away and your team has just turned in a dazzling performance and you're buzzing. Then there's games like this when they've dug in and said **** off we're not going to get beaten and you feel proud of every player.

    Great performance from the big guy, of course. But all of them got stuck in tonight. Did MOTD pick up Virgil's fist clench when he made a desperate last minute tackle that could so easily have been a penalty and red card? Or JWP's off the line clearance? Bloody great stuff. They were a team tonight, and make no mistake Arsenal were very good.

    Great being a Saint tonight. And Liverpool lost. It doesn't get much better.

    I thought the ref really added to the game, he let the game flow and ignored a lot of little things from both sides that most refs would have stopped the game for. Pretty sure Romeo and a couple more Arse players (Long kept on getting taken out) would have received cards from other refs. He was annoying when stopping free kicks to move the ball 10cm, and although I am really pleased of when he blew for final time, he should have let the play continue as Arse had the ball under control in our penalty area, he should have waited abit, until they lost the ball or until it went into a non goal scoring area, because lets face it, they were not going to score

    Do not go gentle into Tuesday night,
    Goals blazed should burst the net at close of play;
    Score, Score players of the flying Red and White.

    Though Austin at the end heads balls in right
    Against Manure, the Arse are better so please
    Do not go gentle into Tuesday night.

    Good fans, the last wave by, crying how bright
    Dear Little Southampton's deeds have danced in a green bay,
    Score, Score players of the flying Red and White.

    Wild Mané caught and sang the ball in flight,
    And learned, too late, he sent it the wrong way,
    Do not go gentle into Tuesday night.

    Fraser Foster, who sees with blinding sight
    Bright eyes catch balls like meteors fierce as day,
    Score, Score players of the flying Red and White.

    And you, my Koeman, there on the pitch height,
    Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
    Do not go gentle into Tuesday night,
    Score, Score players of the flying Red and White.



    Well, I will need to rip off the whole of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner next week!

    Stats say we had 14 attempts, three on target, I must have missed them on MoTD

    All they showed was Romeu's shot and that wasn't even on target.

    I pvr'd the game, and watched it when I got home from work.
    Saints where thoroughly deserving of a point, yes big Fraser kept the arse out, but I thought our midfield, ran the game. Romeu was the MOM for me, he was excellent. The boys at the back where superb, every Saints player played their part of getting a great point.

    Excellent result, but I scratch my head at footy fans again. Saying that Arsenal's title challenge is over when there are over 40 points still up for grabs seems strange. Just like writing off Saints chances of a top 6 finish a very few weeks ago was.
    Oh, and whilst there is definitely "no I in team", there is plenty of "me"

    Love this interview.



    Have been told previously, by those I would trust to know, that Fraser is a real top bloke and a nice fella into the bargain.

    Comes across very well there. Glad he's ours. We should be looking at a new contract for him. :)

    Can we give twenty year contracts? More seriously, what contract is the guy on?

    You need to look at the N606 Arsenal forum Channon. They are ][ short of slitting their wrists or throwing themselves into the Thames. I thought our lot were sensitive. Guess that's where so many years of near misses leads you.

    If he plays up until the end of his contract, then we've got him for two more seasons after this one.
