Southampton are going to be just fine.

Opening day nerves affecting all the bigger teams so far. Spurs and Arsenal with last minute winners, us with a late goal in a nervy game, United losing 1-2 to Swansea.

Will be interesting to see how City and Chelsea do.

You and Spurs were nervous. United were just shit. We were fine.

Not sure if serious. I watched your game, you looked pretty bad. Players like Cazorla misplacing passes constantly. Got lucky with a last gasp rebound/tap-in to win the game, so don't give me that shit.

Not only that, but you played comfortably the worst side out of all of us.

Southampton are clearly a much better footballing team with an actual Manager. Regardless, Arsenal didn't look that good. Dominated possession (because it's Palace) but didn't do much else. Their goals came from really poor defending for a free-kick for the first, and a lucky last minute rebound for the second. Hardly a comfortable win.

Both your goals came from poor defending as well. 2nd goal; Southampton a team of giants letting Sterling win a header and then Clyne thinking he was playing Sturridge offside. 1st goal Henderson plays a standard ball through the middle that on one cuts out and no one picks up Sterling.

Bar the two goals you actually created nothing.

Shearer: "Arsenal got the result, but they didn't play well - Palace frustrated them. They made so many errors from their big players. It was poor from them. Normally Arsenal's passing is crisp and sharp, but the big positive thing is they kept going. Surely they can't play as poorly as this for a long time.

Gullit: "This is a good time to win games in a bad way - it's a good sign. I hope for Arsenal they can battle for the title for as long as possible."

Midfielder Mesut Ozil:   Three points - that's the main thing! #AFCvCPFC #ThanksRamsey #Arsenal #EmiratesStadium

Television presenter and Arsenal fan Piers Morgan:  Poor game, ho-hum performance, important win.

So I wasn't the only one who thought Arsenal were poor

Has RR offed himself?

I was moving house over the weekend.  Thought we were pretty unlucky, the need for more defenders is obvious though.

Unlucky?   You failed to create a single chance that wasn't from a set-piece. I'd say that performance accentuated your need for midfielders/wide players rather than defenders, although you obviously need more of the latter as well.

Not re-signing him will go down as one of the worst decisions in our history.
