Disappointing result, especially the manner of it. Encouraging stats away at the league leaders with half the defence missing. Feels like the squad is maybe deeper than we thought.

Ah dammit.

Come on! Point at least here for the taking.

Corner!

Decent game here, even without my Saints specs on.

Still doing ok here... Come on...

I don't reckon he'll be back up to speed after his injury yet.

Aye, been all us with their keeper being forced into decent saves more than once since that though.

Feels like we've been the better team overall this half apart from that Boruc mistake.

We're still in this!

Our goals will reduce Arsenal's goal difference.

That was the whole team changed, difficult to judge on that.

We haven't seen Hooiveld yet this season. He may well have improved a lot since last season, going by how much other players have improved. (Fonte the obvious example)

Think it's more reacting to the ones that have already given up.

We got good results under Tino towards the end of last season without Lovren.

Makes it more difficult, but our pressing game means we defend as a team now. Waynyama will take some pressure off the defence. Still not counting us out of this one.

Ah that's not good.

I've got a gut feeling this will be behind closed doors.

So, possibly, Eccleston is pushed out to 10, Tennant to 11, Smith to 12… All of a sudden I'm noticing the slight passing resemblance between the Valeyard and Capaldi, and wondering if that grand unveiling of the next Doctor was misdirection.

Predictable. Other papers have been far fairer though. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/england/10453486/England-v-Chile-Adam-Lallana-flies-flag-high-for-Southampton.html http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/nov/15/adam-lallana-england-jay-rodriguez-chile

Reckon the best thing about that is that it's still Friday.

Seems to have got away with it? Might have dodged a bullet there.
