Well played last night the Saints....as a Gooner I'd rather lose to you lot than most other teams! Play decent football and actually develop your own players.

A massive result last night. Only the 3rd time since the war we have beaten them on their patch.
I did not expect the team to gel so quickly. Credit to our coaching team for putting in all the hard work that is now paying dividends.
It is very early days yet and it may go completely pear shaped but a like the look of this squad. We have good cover in all positions,something that was lacking last season.
Now to put that bluenosed tw@t to the sword on Saturday.

In some ways I'm glad he hid behind an interpreter at Saints - he is making no sense in this interview at all:

Bring back the interpreter - he knew more about football hehe

On the one hand you could say if Saints can beat Arsenal then they should beat Stoke, but that's potential banana skin IMO. No easy games, etc, etc

IIRC it was reported that Levy insisted, and even had a clause in his contract, that he had to conduct interviews in English.

It's one of the things that irks me about MoPo the most. Takes Spuds seriously enough to speak English to the press, but didn't us.
I still think he's a good manager, but I hope we stick it to them next weekend.

It won't be an easy match but it's certainly one we have a chance to win! How funny would it be if we finished above them in the league...

I don't wish any of our former players or managers ill and would like them to be successful but I do want us to beat all of our rivals. 2 years ago, Spurs were not really our rivals and yet today, we have a good team who have the ability to beat Spurs.

I'm not going to suggest that we will finish above them in the league, but being rivals of Spurs, Stoke, Liverpool, Newcastle and Everton is better than being rivals of Hartlepool, Preston and Sheffield United

I love Koemans attitude to bring the team together and I'm hoping that with competition for places, the lads will continue to perform well and score goals.... BTW - What a cracker from Clyne on Tuesday night

I think the opposite, he's lack of English ability shows him up. When he was behind an interpreter, to me, he was the eloquent Spanish speaking Argentinian genius.

The best signing by a premiership side this summer maybe?

Mmmm, great goal but that might be pushing it. Tadic has been more impressive so far, and Ulloa for Leicester has been awesome.

Well DiMaria and Costa aren't too shabby either ;-)

Although pound for pound he probably is (and I'm not even surprised). But one thing is for sure though, he's def. the best Italian striker in the PL.....

Cracking goal by Pelle and another win which might not have been pretty, but certainly was well deserved (Did Phil Neville on MOTD watch the game?)

2nd in the league... enjoy it whilst we can and lets hope for a good result next weekend
