    They got terrorised by Long. Good is an understatement.

    Couldn't help but ponder on the drive home from the game if some posters on this forum would care to re-think some of the crazy posts earlier in the day?

    Comments like:
    Martina was apparently the worst ever Saints player and should definately not play.
    Saints had no chance of winning and a point was the best we could possibly hope for.
    RK didn't know what he was doing and his time was running out.

    Haven't read any recent posts, but I'm guessing the same posters are now singing from a very different hymn sheet?

    I thought he was okay, but the defence was shielded brilliantly by shop window Wanyama and Clasie. Those two guys were fan and Big Vic was Mom for me

    Have already done a lot of Very,very, very grovelling apologises. Just glad to be proved very wrong and I won't do it again. Till the next bad result at least.

    A pity we are still stuck on 12th. That result deserved a huge leap up the table.

    Shane always comes across as a really nice guy.

    Mustn't be greedy...consolidating in 12th looks a lot better than we would have looked after a loss. We would have been just 4 from the relegation zone...shudders.

    Good to see Ron smiling again....his grim face was making me even more worried than the situation.

    All I wanted for Christmas was three points. All I want now for the New Year is for the fans that seem to think they know better than the management, to just be a little more forgiving in their opinionated criticism and a little less abrasive.

    Let's also (I've already seen some posts) not make statements that formation X must now be adopted or player Y must start in position Z.

    Let's just have a little faith and understanding of the management team.

    If we hadn't have scored 4 goals it would have been a boring 0 - 0 draw, Arsenal barely threatened all night.

    So no Cedric or Pelle on Monday. In some ways I wish we had a longer gap to savour this win.

    Must admit to cursing Shane Long at half time, thought the easy chance he missed just before the interval might just cost us 3 points.

    Well, I got my pre-match thinkings wrong !!

    Utterly, utterly superb - Shane Long MOTM. As for Cuco Martina, it was up there with Jonno Forte in that "WTF! They've scored" moment of not quite knowing whether to laugh or cheer.

    I'm hoping with hard work in training and a confidence boost Cuco can have a chance to show himself.
