“We can’t dwell on that too much”.

New York DE Muhammad Wilkerson has collected seven sacks in his last five games to push his season total to a career-high 12.3. With Bledsoe on the mend, the Patriots called on second-year quarterback Tom Brady to guide the offense.

“You have to say “well done” to Southampton…they fought for their lives and as soon as they scored the first goal you could see it was going to be a hard game”. “We can not master the decisions of the referee”, added the 66-year-old Frenchman. The first goal was offside, the second a foul and the third was a goal kick.

The game though was won by the time the second goal went in, and all the home side needed to do was weather a mild storm in order to secure three points.

Ronald Koeman’s side were excellent this evening; tactically sound, full of creativity and more than anything else they had the desire to go on and win.

If we need him, we can go there…. “Overall, coming in cold in the first series; again, his effort, his energy is not the issue”. We’ll look back at it down the road here and be very appreciative”. “I don’t think we’re able to predict that yet”, Carroll said.

I smile, I don’t smile.

“But in the end I think we could have made a little bit more”.

The goal came after a long spell of pressure on a shaky Arsenal defence, marshaled by Laurent Koscielny and Par Matersacker.

The victory on Monday night means Arsenal are still in 2nd place in the Premier League but they are just 2 points behind Leicester City and 4 clear of Manchester City. Wenger is confident of a positive response at the Emirates Stadium, however. “Many challenges we were second best, but the referee let a lot go as well, and when you are not dominant that’s the kind of price you have to pay”.

“It’s about 45 hours that we have until Monday”.

This inability to retain top talent is one of the main reasons why Arsenal has been unable to win the English Premier League over that past decade.

“You look at this current Arsenal squad and it is arguably stronger than the Chelsea squad that won last season’s title”, Wyett said.

Heading into the last game on Saturday, Arsenal had a golden opportunity to take the lead in the title race. With the Gunner searching for the elusive equalizer, the ball broke to Shane Long, who released his strike partner, Saido Mane down the right channel.

Now, after the inevitable fan inquest into the performance, Arsenal supporters have identified exactly who was to blame for their humiliating defeat.

“He’s a different number nine to Graziano”.

The Republic of Ireland global, who also hit the post, said: “I played well, I caused them problems and obviously to get the two goals is always nice”.

Asked why Wenger was smiling as he bemoaned a 4-0 loss, he said: “Look, I smile, I don’t smile – what can I do about it?”
