  1. I think I'm right in saying we've never won a home PL game on the opening day. Hope to buck that trend today, come on Saints!
  2. Back in the top half, woohoo! Fun fact, that's only the third Premier League game we've won after conceding an equaliser since we got promoted! Can anybody name the other two?
  3. Maybe best to give our normal feeder club Celtic a miss this year... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36761213
  4. Only a few weeks ago we were persuading players to sign 6 year contract extensions, now we can only manage 5. Shows what a step backwards the club has taken.....Les out! OK melt over! Fantastic news, one of my favourite players of the last 2 years. I think it's entirely right that we prioritise spending a decent amount of our incoming transfer and TV money rewarding the players for the job they have done, and keeping a happy and committed team into the bargain.

    Worth saying that Portugal conceded 5 in 3 games before Fonte and Soares played, then just the 1 in 4 games after they came in, 3 of which went to extra time. Both made a genuine difference and thoroughly deserve it.

    If the scoreline stays the same then Wales will have won as many tournament knockout games in 6 days as England have in 20 years!
  7. Nice one Isgrove and nice one Barnsley. From rock-bottom of the league after 20 games to promotion, they've had a better 2nd half of the season then even we did!
  8. Finishing ahead of Liverpool and (potentially) Man United, 2 clubs who spent a combined £115 million on Southampton players over the last 2 seasons, now that's satisfying! Well done to Ronald and the team.
  9. That's no way to describe Joey Barton! Although having said that... Dyche always strikes me as a sensible and decent bloke and a good manager, possible Koeman replacement if and when he leaves?
  10. Lawro finally predicting Liverpools first defeat of the season! What's going on there? Almost certain we won't win it now.
  11. This time a month ago we were a point ahead of Norwich and 7 behind Palace. It's shocking how quickly things can change, and should (but won't) be a lesson to people in not getting too ahead of themselves with the hand-wringing and doom-mongering whenever we are in a bad run of form - and by the same logic we shouldn't start thinking about top four, at least not yet
  12. Haven't got used to the weirdness of watching a Chelsea Man U game and wanting a draw to keep one team within range and the other well below us! Talking of weird, was I the only one to hear Thierry Henry say on Sky Sports "I didn't watch the game, I was busy doing something with an under 18"? Need to get Op Yew Tree into that pretty sharpish
  13. I heard a rumour that he was the worst player since Ali Dia and I want to confirm whether there's any truth to it
  14. Wow, Wilson really is part of the Saints PR machine now isn't he! Not saying it's a bad thing by any means, it's nice to have one of the main 'broadsheet' journalists on-side and pushing our point of view. I know from his previous articles he's got a soft spot for us and is not a fan of Levy, but a lot of that could have been written by old uncle Les himself! Enjoyable read though - anything that helps further undermine that tight-fisted slimy bald snake is OK by me.
  15. Long in for J-Rod otherwise unchanged
