Another step towards getting back our personal property.

Shows the vast difference between top team squads and the rest ... Southampton 1st eleven go to Anfield and get a result, with 10 changes they looked like a pub side ... we made 10 changes and hardly dropped at all .... down the road the Spuds made 10 changes and nearly lost at home to a Div II side ...
Said it a few times, our squad is up there with Chelskis ... we just lack another two or three very top players ... fantastic to see us maintain our 'flat track bully' reputation, we can win this competition again no problem ....

[Gooner_ESR10]

happy we got through and in style, but it wasnt the usual southampton side. Once we beat them in the league, it will be a more fulfilling away win at st marys.

Why are people putting one of our worst finishers (Welbeck) in the striker position?

He scored at Southampton in the fa cup in his Man Utd days
That was the opening goal as well

[starmandb]

Hope Ozil plays in this match. We dont need him against Bayern Munich as he is going to be invisible against that midfield.

Ozil 4 goals and 3 assists v bayern Munich
You would expect him to have some involvement over 2 legs

[starmandb]

Agree

Ozil this season in the CL - played 6, scored 4, assisted 3. Total = 7.

Alexis this season in the CL - played 6, scored 2, assisted 5. Total = 7.

Guess we should drop Alexis against Bayern too.

Yes because as I completely clear to anyone with a pulse, our involvement in the CL is the definition of pointless. We have a chance in the FA Cup so put all the effort here.

Same sort of comments were made when we went out of the fa cup at Bolton in 05/06 and had Real Madrid coming up
Might as well not turn up
It was wrong then it's wrong now and it will always be wrong
When there is a trophy at stake you fight tooth and nail in every competition and see where it takes you

[starmandb]

I want to win the CL too as much as any of you ugly virgins but come on......140 year old Wenger beating the likes of Bayern, Real, Barca, Man City, Atletco etc over 2 legs???

I am all for optimism but come the f*ck on be realistic.

We have played Real Madrid once and beat them over 2 legs
Over the 15 seasons we have played Man city under wenger we have got the better of them in the two games in 10 of those seasons and drawn in one of them
We have failed to stay in the tie in many of our champs league exits and given ourself a mountain to climb.
That's been the problem
Game management

[starmandb]

LMAO we will lose 6-3 i reckon.
Ox at CM
Lucas is finished as a striker option
We are starting with 4 wingers

Ox was superb
Perez was very good

[starmandb]

southampton putting out a gash team aswell, shane long is their captain ffs

Reed, classie and hjoberg are all natural central midfielders. We dont have a single one on the pitch

Ox will do a job there. We have a decent attack though which is the most important thing. Should be able to get a few against Southampton's defence.

Glad they've put a weak team out aswell otherwise we I wouldn't of fancied our chances at all.

Worst team we have put all season imo. Zero balance in that team

Worst arsenal team got biggest away win in 7 and half years
Bodes well for when we play our best team

[starmandb]

Gibbs worst player on the pitch

I think you will find that was Stephens or gardos

[starmandb]

Front three look great but bear in mind it's southamptons 17th choice cb pairing.

Welbeck is shit but good goals. Ox is shit but has run the game. Perez and Theo only players that should start next game.

Gardos clean sheet against us and at old Trafford a couple of seasons ago
Stephens a clean sheet at anfield in the week

Great performance from Danny in the opening 45 but Southampton are shit after having made so many changes to their team after playing mid-week. Still nice to finally get a win at St. Mary's for the first time in like 10 years!

Jesus, really?

That's what Robbie said on AFTV yesterday. Haven't won on their ground in the longest time. I couldn't believe it myself when I heard that.

13 years ago with a pires goal
We had lost 2 and drawn 3 on the 5 visits since
