Match Day Thread Arsenal v Saints Friday 21st April 8pm

Why, disappointing that this is. Yes two soft goals at the end, but we were decent against title leaders. Sure be furious at other games, but not tonight. The lads I thought gave everything

 

Agreed but I think he was looking tired.

 

It’s the hope that kills you, simple as that.

 

What do you think would happen if Lavia played 90 minutes? Would he crumble to dust? Or spontaneously combust?

 

I'd rather have a one-legged Lavia than a two-legged Diallo.

 

I am not going to be too harsh on Ruben.

Diallo on for Lavia, sounds like madness, but Lavia was injured. I think Arsenal would have taken advantage of that anyway. Every player was knackered. We just couldn't hold on for 100 mins. Before the game we all were expecting Arsenal to score at least 3. No one thought we'd get 3 goals from open play though.

I'm sorry, but I can't be too down after that. We just were in one of the classic premier league games of the season.

It's not over until the fat lady sings. Last week I could hear her doing vocal warmups, but this week she has gone back stage for a bit as it isn't yet time.

 

I bet every bloody manager up and down the country was watching that thinking, what on Earth are you doing, Ruben?

 

That was disappointing, but not unexpected.

Bit like my cup of tea. Started well, and then I ran out of hobnobs.

 

I admire you. But you can't have a post-match Saints chat without at least one scapegoat. Dem's the rules.

 

Well, he’s a SR investment. Can’t risk him getting tired.

 

Good to see Lyanco having a big half. Could be a key player in the Championship. Also, DCC back in the fold, likewise.

Bednarek giving them both instructions like a defensive coach was pleasing to see, and backs up my point about Bednarek being more vocal than anyone else. It goes unnoticed, but he is captain material for next season.

 

Poor little sausage.

 

I blame Guly.

 

I agree with this 100%. Truly baffling

 

We're not down yet. I know it sounds daft but we are only 3 points off 17th. Admittedly we need other results to go in our favour over the next week but it's not out of the question we'll be out of the bottom 3 when we go to Newcastle.

 

Sorry mate. The season has been utterly ****. We just gave the potential champions a huge scare. We have had so many lethargic games, this was a totally committed performance. I think a few fans recognise that after some of the dross we have seen

 

Selles just spoke well about the change at half time with Sky

 

Logical not to risk Lavia imo

 

Unless they had to be taken off. Arsenal score with a knackered Lavia and Alcaraz, people would complain that they should have been subbed. One of those things.

 

I've been trying to Tom-curse us into staying up since December, and by golly you're not going to out-Tom-curse me now.
