Is the emirates usually this empty or is it just because it's a midweek game? Lot of empty seats.

Ouchy ouch

Definitely looks a lot emptier than usual for a league match. Not sure what's up with that.

Marcus Antonius

Got to love two games in a week to watch, however the killer about BT Sports is we have to listen to Michael Owen. Come on Arsenal!

klose

Would have been a lovely goal that.

yipeeeee

Deadly, assuming we don't have any more injuries and preferably pick up 3 more points here

Mickeroo

Cazorla should have belted that.

Nice play around the box there. Did I miss much in the first 20?

Nah not really a chance a piece, Welbeck and Pelle. Should of done better there, mad scrappy

Just a decent chance for Soton. Probably should have scored. That's about it though.

yipeeeee

Honest of ox staying on his feet in the box before his shot.

This is very poor fare from Arsenal so far.
They are a pale shadow of former Arsenal sides.

Marcus Antonius

Made a few dodgy calls about corners and that so far

bad2dabone

Crowd very subdued

Soups123

Officials have been dreadful, 3 basic decisions in throw in and corners got wrong

super_furry

Arsenal really look like Liverpool with a couple of faster players.

I'll forgive them if they throw us a peno

Filthy from Wanyama

That's not the first one either, should have a card at this stage.

Soups123

We lack any real grit playing too many games without any real umf

A team lacking motivation in buckets

fulmer1984

Love how welbeck chases back and closes down the goalkeeper. Worth it's weight in gold

Marcus Antonius

Good save from Forster, thought we had one just on half time there.

Soups123

Pretty forgetful first half at the emirates yet again

Poor stuff since I switched on anyway.

UnknownSpecies

Another keeper playing a blinder against us, I've come to expect it. Would surely have been an own goal though?

tayto lover

We have some very fast attacking players, maybe 4, and not once did we show any speed in the attack.
Pedestrian pace and we're making it easy for their defenders.
They have come for a point and look like getting it at the moment.
Our players do not look motivated.

K4t

So slow and pedestrian from Arsenal which is a crime with so much pace in the team.

Ramsay is in the team at the moment purely due to last season and injuries. Not at the races at all.

Did look like it took a deflection after Welbeck alright.

bad2dabone

Disappointing.

efb

This is duller that the bishops 5 a side

emmetlego

Ramsey really struggling to even hit the target!

As Wenger said last year, "when Aaron starts scoring, he won't stop!"

Get Ramsey off. Don't care even if he contributes later. :P

Well lets hope it happens soon, as he's been cat the last few games.

So poor and ponderous.

LuckyGent88

Very poor from long. Had to try and get pelle in there.

Mr.Crinklewood

Did a child just give the fingers?

Soups123

Mariner has been absolutely **** tonight

His dad trying to get him to do the peace but he went in reverse

Marcus Antonius

Every time it goes up for Welbeck he's completely crowded out of it, plus their goalie is 6'5/6. He need some support up there if that's our only plan.

Mickeroo

Have a feeling there's a Southampton goal coming.

LuckyGent88

Nasty enough by carzola. Can't understand how is he complaining.

bad2dabone

One bright point is emi martinez

tayto lover

Martinez looking better than Chez at the minute.
Very assured.

AdamD

Need to hook Ramsey

efb

We ran the gas of the electricity... And the electricity off the gas... So fcuking dull

efb

Split screen with the apprentice

yipeeeee

Jesus welbz can be a headless chicken at times, then brilliant.

fulmer1984

Any Wenger out banners this game?

Mickeroo

Come on Ollie. At least he's not waiting until the 85th minute to make a change.
