Arsenal v Southampton

we are looking so dangerous...their corner to goal in 28 seconds!!!!!

second own goal!

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is gonna be sooooo bad for southampton....

both own goals coming from a gibbs cross or shot.

This is amazing. We've totally outplayed them, the same team who caused trouble to Man City and Man Utd.

I feel sorry for Giroud that we are scoring so freely and he is on the bench.

5 by half time?? lol...sorry southampton.....

oh well...there goes the clean sheet...

Godfuckingdammit, Szczesny.

well, first goal in for the season. after dominating the first half, we let in a goal right before the whistle. disappointing lack of concentration.

Well at least people will stop pretending that all our defensive ills have been cured. We didn't play three perfect games defensively before this one. It was a poor goal to concede though, albeit a bit inevitable when we are that dominant.

Against better sides Giroud is the only realistic option up front imo, otherwise we have three players who are too similar and who all like to drop off.

Good to see Oxlade-Chamberlain playing more. He is the future. Theo is not.

lol sky just changed it to 63%

disappointed we conceded, really hoped we would be able to keep a clean sheet in the firt half. oh well, we're still 4-1 up, should be a comfortable win regardless.

plenty more to come...could do with giroud on to get him off the mark

Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker on Twitter:
"MOTD starting to look tasty. Garcia levels on debut for Man City and Arsenal are on the rampage..."

lol rampage...

Disappointing to concede at the end but I'd take 4-1 at half time. Szczesney definately needs a quality back-up keeper to keep him sharp though.

Just saw last week's highlights, and they showed RVP's goals. Now I'm angry and feel sick.

so far this puts us second.....

I'm so pissed at Szczesny right now

come on boys push them straight back into their area...

ohhhh unlucky!!

Southampton look dangerous now. I'm not feeling so comfortable.
