Arsenals front four is ridiculous. Probably the most over resourced strike force in the league.

Lol Arsenal defence is shocking!

Chelsea are fucking shite.

My days!

Chelsea should have kicked that up the pitch and out when Tammy was down. It would have given him time and nullified the pressure Arsenal were putting on.

Stupid.

Abraham screaming he would have scored. Yes. But a mile offside.

Not a lot of point doing short corners if you cant place a ball.

Ole’s mob are being kept in touching distance of fourth by the continual shitness of those above them.

That was the worst Chelsea performance I’ve seen for a long time. Ironically looked better against 11. Unless something changes quickly, I’ll start making my mind up about Lampard. The team look clueless in possession and can’t seem to defend properly. That should’ve been 3-0 done and dusted. Instead we literally gave them a point.

Mount, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi: the much vaunted youth look jaded yet arrogant, trying tricky things when they shouldn’t and not getting the basics right. Very disappointed, was looking forward to the game and it’s just been a waste of my evening.

Arsenal got a bit lucky with that slip there. Keown putting a dig in that Man U had martinelli. Jeeeez.

Pickford was amazing at the end, accidentally backs into the post, then makes a save whilst stood miles behind his own goal line, then he boots the ball into the stands and starts screaming 'where was the defense?!'

It's a clip made for dubbing the Benny Hill music over the top of.

Just watched it again and I missed that the initial shot hit him in the face. Superb.

Crystal Palace are a funny team. Hold out away at Man City and scramble a draw and then be two goals down at home to Southampton. I imagine there’s a bit of backlash from the wolves game but still!

There’s was nothing funny about it. Possibly the worst 90 mins I’ve seen in nearly 20 years watching Palace, nudging our previous 2-1 and 0-1 defeats to ... erm ... Southampton. There’s something about that team. We can’t beat them at home. It was abject.

I honesty couldn’t put my finger on what the difference was yesterday. Southampton seemed to win every 50/50 - but I don’t know whether that was them trying harder, a bit of luck, poor tactics from Palace, etc? Wasn’t fun to watch.

We’re pressing much harder now - were very much back to Poch era tactics in terms of how we look to win the ball back and immediately move it forward. Players have gotten very aggressive and we have some proper arseholes in the team like Shane Long and Bertrand both of whom I absolutely love.

On top of that the team is just...confident.

Despite that, Saints actually have a poor squad. I like the current team members, sure, but this is deffo our weakest squad since promotion. We’re weaker in pretty much every single position than we were 5 years ago. We’re being held together by a good manager and a great team spirit. That’s about it.

In a couple of weeks we’ll have an inexplicably bad game while your lot will put in a shift against a big team and get a result. There’s no rhyme or reason to it, it seems.
