Jeez!

I can understand it if no handball is given when the ball diverts wildly off a thigh or something before hitting the hand/arm in a natural position. But are we really to understand that the rule now is it's ok if a net-bound shot tickles a follicle on the way to hitting an outstretched arm that is moving towards the ball? If so then the game is up.

I guarantee that if Ings had put the ball in the net with that part of his arm it'd be disallowed for handball.

Robbed again.

That's onside.

Just not going for Saints at all.

Given all the stoppages there should be 6 or 7 minutes added on. Not that it'll help though.

It's been the same for while now. Saints just run out of ideas in the attacking third.

Just show some composure in the final third.

Saints with one shot on target out of 13.

Foul on the 'keeper? Really?

Grealish free in Saints penalty area again.

Now Walcott injured. What a mess.

Typical lacklustre 2nd half so far from Saints.

Even the JWP free-kicks disappointing now too.

I'm starting to wonder how long it'll take to reach 40 points. As an attacking force Saints are as blunt as a very blunt thing.

Easy goal for Villa. Move into space, receive the ball, cross it quickly and hey presto. Saints need to find a cutting edge in attack quickly. The slow build up isn't working.

How the hell is that not a penalty?

Saints have a pretty good midfield though. The rest is average at best.

If Saints had any sort of attacking ideas then they could have given Arsenal a problem or two. But we're toothless and predictable so we didn't.

How many times has a Saints player passed the ball straight to Arsenal?

JWP chance.

Adams running in treacle when put through.

Saints totally lacking in ideas now.

Oh well.
