    When was the last time that we were 10 points ahead of Arsenal?

    Just checked it was 1984 of course.

    It still resulted in him being demoted down to Championship action for a week or two though, as punishment. So with that mark already against him, it'll be interesting what his superiors decide this time.

    Wow, when I read that, I thought Arsenal were ahead, so bit of a surprise when I looked on the bbc just then <laugh>

    No justification for that decision at all. Ultimately came down to them not wanting to send off two Arsenal players.

    Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs.

    Zero wins. Two goals scored.

    The sooner that five subs gets introduced, and Project Big Picture gets implemented, the better...

    They'll probably hold an emergency meeting tomorrow.

    If arsenal play like that on weds, we should absolutely batter them. They were horrific. Absolutely horrific

    I hope you lot appreciate my sacrifice of not taking Aubemayang out of my fantasy league team (or even stripping him of the captaincy of said team) until after Wednesday!

    He definitely deserves at least one more match.

    Saints are 2/1 to beat Arsenal on Wednesday. I'm lumping £50 on that.

    I can't remember a better chance for us to finally win there in the league. Even more so than under Poch, when Boruc decided to try and dance round Giroud.

    I think our away record against them is even worse than vs Everton.

    Wonder what price for a scorecast of Saints to win 2-0 and Big Vester to score the first goal?

    It is. Our last league win there predates all seater stadiums iirc. Wanna say '87.

    The thought of Arsenal trying to deal with Vesty in the air...

    I'm just hoping he's not sacked before then.

    Put £30 on Fulham and Saints to win on Wednesday at 8/1 (Fulham have Brighton at home).
