    My stream has been a bit bad but it's nice that our good start didn't fade after 25 minutes like normal. Luke will be pinging 50 yard passes to himself in the second half, he is everywhere.

    Yeah, amazing what three Hooiniggox-infused goals can do for one's job security.

    Does anyone know just exactly how many Weetabix Jack Cork has for breakfast everyday?

    He likes a lob.

    I heard he can handle up to three.

    Great first half, need to be just as good or better in the second though.

    Steve Claridge is singing our praises on 5 Live Sports Extra. Enjoying listening to that commentary.

    Steve Claridge on BBC Radio 5 live Sports Extra
    HALF-TIME STATS - Southampton 1-0 Arsenal
    "I did not see one Arsenal fan clap after that first-half performance. They have been so far off the pace, it has beggared belief. Arsene Wenger has to make a change at half-time. In Adam Lallana, Southampton have one of the outstanding talents in the division. He has to go to the World Cup - 100%."

    I wouldn't put Wanyama back in to be fair. Cork, Schneiderlin and Davis are an absolute force.

    I would. Harsh on Cork, but Wanyama's quality. We will probably need him in the 2nd half.

    They're all playing very well, think we'll need to add a bit of steel as they tire though. I'd like to see Wanyama come on around the hour mark I reckon. And not necessarily for Cork, as everyone seems to assume.

    Yeah, Wanyama will definitely be useful if Arsenal get their teeth in.

    Even if we can't finish Arsenal off, it's good to see that we can play great football with several first choice players missing. Always feel we have only got a strong 13 or 14 players compared to other teams having a full bench of internationals.

    True, but based on that first half we should be at least 2-0 up and we would stand a much better chance of getting a win, regardless of how many first team players we are missing. As I see it now, a draw seems the most likely result if not an Arsenal win, they have so much quality.
