Arsene there. "Pass it............Fuck sake"

great use

If Ba left in January and we are left with Shola and Cisse up front then we're relegated. Would take a cisse 16 goal run like last year to prevent it.

There was a moment which epitomised our problems at the moment. Ba got the ball on the left in the 2nd half around the half way like, looked up saw nothing on so held on to it spun on the ball and protected it from maritimo players. Looked up again and every single one of our players were standing still watching him and only one player was ahead of him. Absolutely shocking. Football basics is to have runners moving into space off the ball.

Can't see us playing well again until everyone is fit/not suspended. So ben arfa, tiote, jonas, cabaye, ba etc all fit and in better form. But even then we need a dramatic re-think on our tactics and gameplan.

Seemed to get cramp about 2 mins before the end and then tried to keep the ball in play in the corner right at the end and pulled up again. Cannot imagine he will start on sunday as he is probably not used to playing 90 mins so 2 days rest probs won't be enough for him.

Our Championship team would rip this current team apart. We used to actually go out to attack team's at home.

Heavy loss expected. Don't even want to try and predict the team we will have available either.

Haven't been so sure we're going to lose a game since Norwich away last season. This team plus the added injuries from tonight don't stand a fucking chance of winning a premier league match.

fuck sake no need to play him tonight and certainly no need to bring on Ba. Sod's law that he gets injured tonight when he hasn't been injured for well over a year. No strains no pulls nothing.

wow

Red cards are soft as fuck these days.

They cut loads out from his interview to be fair. Full interview is on the bbc site. Although he does go on to compare Cisse missing to being like liverpool missing suarez which with the way Cisse has been playing is a load of crap. I think i'm just pissed off about the loss so think i'm guna lay off pardew for now. But today's performance after the goal especially has left a very sour taste.

Should have been Williamson off and simpson to CB as he has way more mobility and could handle the counter attacks better allowing us to push forward more.

Not necessarily. Would have less room to operate in and would get bullied a bit more by the physical CB's. I see what you mean though and it might be worth giving a go but I'm not convinced it would be as easy for him as you think.

great play from enrique. So that Suarez foul. I think that would have been a Coloccini/tiote red. Liverpool missing Suarez for 3 games wouldn't be a big deal at all would it?

I think our goal was the only time we had more than 2 player's in the box from open play and it resulted in a goal.

Southampton have regularly played better football than us this season and have been unlucky with results due to defensive mistakes and truly atrocious goalkeeping.

Aye, so as I was saying. Top team won so who cares. You on about the first penalty? Aye shocking. All top 4 teams get soft penalties. Always have always will. As if they need the help.

With you on that one. Baffled me at the time and people were telling me it's cus we were going 3 at the back. We clearly weren't playing 3 at the back.

Spurs nearly signed the whole world.

Swear Arry has been on everytime Spurs lose this season. Coincidence?

This pissed me off a little too. Did they not have a 17 year old at left back or something? Sammy and Fergie were the only young players in the team.

Shola will say whatever he's told to. Pardew absolutely adores him going by all the comments he's made about him.

Could hear the crowd groan everytime we floated the ball towards williamson. Btw can we change the title back to Williamson now?
