I actually enjoy the banter of being sh*t, you don't have to take it so seriously and can moan freely.

Very good point, if you enjoy being ****, then when we are **** it hardly makes a dent in you're week / weekend.

It's bad when you let it take over...losing at the weekend then refusing a cosy night under the sheets with a female...that's tough.

Given the circumstances a draw feel like a good result.

Overall I thought the players showed an improved commitment bar the first 20 minutes and there were flashes of decent play going forwards, most involving Saka and Auba linking up.

These individual calamities leading to sending's off really are unacceptable though. That's three time recently. We could quite easily have had 5-6 extra points without them. It's letting their teammates and the club down. It needs to stop. Individual responsibility is needed.

When push came to shove it was Saka who stood up and took the game by the scruff of the neck. He was jinking though Southampton's defence like a slalom skier for Auba's goal. Magnificent stuff.

Credit to Holding too, not my favourite player but he was excellent at the back after Gabriel's sending off. Very unfortunate with his header too.

The red card actually helped us. It made us fight for life to save that point. Without it we would have lost

We were on top until the card. Why would we have lost?

 

[Bloodbather]

Do you think there are people who actually let the football impact their mental health? I find it impossible to imagine lol

There are even idiots who are willing to die or kill for the football club they support, so, yes.

 

[Papa Wonga]

It's 2020 anything can happen....bring in Jupp heynckes!

 

[Garrincha]

Edu:

guess that was when we opted not to go for a final chance? time wasted a throw in when Southampton had no time to counter... bit bizarre

I'm so pissed I'm thinking to have call with my guy Saddam to teach these c**ts how to be discipline.

To be fair his son would have them all bald and do some military work after what xhaka and Gabriel did today

We were on top until the card. Why would we have lost?

We were not. We started second half well, but we were fading and they were gaining control just before the sending off. We would be done in the counter

 

[Papa Wonga]

Mikel must get home...look at himself in the mirror and go..."Amazing result, always knew you we're a genius mikel, ****ing outstanding"

 

[Riou]

I genuinely miss when we had the players to play 1 touch football, had it my whole time as a fan up until the last few years, it's so disappointing...most of our players need 2 or 3 touches just to control the ****ing ball these days!

This isn't me excusing Arteta or anything, don't want to get into that with this post, but the last few years have been rough...I miss just having high quality ball players, don't know if we will ever get back to that either

 

[gunner4lyfe]

It's not a good draw. We have 1 win in 9 and are in a relegation scrap

So given the context of THIS game. You're saying this isn't a good draw against a good Southampton team with us playing a man short? You have to remember this is a team short on confidence right now.

First time we've had five consecutive home loses since 1893 would have been hell of record for Mikel. He must have been sweating pints.

Do you mean like what Southampton was doing to us with inferior players?

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

After auba scored we looked different team we start running pressing its just frustrating how we ill discipline these days we look aggressive with everything

 

[Papa Wonga]

I will not let this ****pot of a club ruin my Xmas. They could actually make it better if they get rid of him.

We’ve all been sad over the football but it being the reason your mental health deteriorates is a foreign concept to me

Would have been another one for the record books.

 

[DanDare]

Aubameyang saying he's the type of guy who is introspective when things aren't going his way and works hard.

Is that the right type of player to be captain?

 

[Tourbillion]

Can't stand how drawn out our climb-back-ups are. I'm not patient enough for this ****ing club.

 

[NieThePiet]

Wouldn't even surprised me, that the red card prevented us from losing.

Southampton needs space behind the last line and with all men in our own box, they nearly had no space to attack us.

Otherwise we still would play with high line and they would score some counter goal.
