    When you let in 31 goals in 13 games you are going to have to put away your chances. Sadly despite playing very well we didn't, so it was coming. We played far better today then all the season.

    Ah that's fine then. I remember the caveat in the rules which states if you play well but don't win, you won't get relegated. Thank **** for that eh? Have a look at the ****ing table.

    I’ll play along though. So “utterly ****ing useless” in your mind is a very unfortunate draw away at Arsenal?

    That’s you, who claims the manager is hopeless and that the team have stopped playing for him. Did you see that in evidence today, or perhaps you’re...y’know...wrong?
    I’m not putting money in Gao’s pocket by the way. I didn’t renew my season ticket this year as I don’t support his ownership, I do, however, support the club, and I also don’t scream “FIRE” every time there’s a waft of smoke.

    ****ing embarrassing, great performance away at a bigger club.

    Yes it's a **** season, but that was a quality performance.

    Go and support city or liverpool if you're gonna moan about us not beating arsenal away you absolute nonce.

    I'd say we shot ourselves in the foot. But we'd probably miss that too.

    There's no need to criticize today. It was an outstanding performance and we were desperately unlucky.

    I know we've only come away with two points (and ultimately points win prizes), but we've now played all of the "big six" and only against Chelsea were we sent packing. We could have had something from all the other five games - including three away.

    Please, Saints. Please start turning up against the other sides. You've shown you can do it. And it has to start right now. Next week is probably our biggest week since the Everton-Swansea double-header under Hughes. Come away with a draw and a couple of defeats, and we can say goodbye. But a draw and a couple of wins, and it's game on.

    There's not a "want of smoke" there's a great forest fire. Never mind though, we nearly won and that's all that matters according to some. Consistently conceding goals 85+ minutes in is not unfortunate. Its ****e players and crap coaching

    Really well played today from the team. Shame it didnt end in the win we so clearly deserved.

    And Gratz for Ralph for being brave enough to play a Right Back at Right Back and a Left Back at Left Back. Was refreshing.

    Slight question over the game being 2-1 and he brings on 2 very attacking midfielders, but even then we should have been at least 4-1 ahead.

    Promising for the future is what i can take from the match, once i get over the disappointment.

    Go support Liverpool. Or Barcelona. Or PSG. Because you seem to want close to perfection from Saints.

    There's every need. Ultimately, yes we played well. Yes, it was a good point. Yes, it's something we can build on.

    But once again, we bottled it when we should have seen it out. That cant be ignored.

    40 points dropped from winning positions in 2019 ... that's inexecusable, so I'm sorry I'm fed up of that as it's evidently not something we are learning from.

    Glad to see that we are taking this so well, with no resorting to sarcasm or abuse.*

    It’s disappointing, but I would have taken a draw all day long. Next fixtures are important though- we have to take points.

    *Ah, seems that the sarcasm is catching.:)

    You really are quite peculiar. Really wouldn’t want to be near the trenches with someone like you. Go and chill out.

    You can criticise the defending, but you also have to accept Saints played well today.

    And I'm sorry where did 10 minutes of added time come from in the match?

    This.

    But that would be far too reasonable.
