Josh Sims whoever he may be He came up through our academy Koeman didn't know it But everyone can see That he plays for the famous SFC

Sadly a story likely to emerge today about a former Saints player who has made abuse claims.

I'm a bit slow and a bit deaf - what is the Cedric chant?

Puel's come in for a but of stick lately. But thank you Claude for giving game time this season to Sam McQueen, Jake Hesketh and Harry Reed. And thanks most of all for going all left field on us and giving Josh Sims his debut against Ronald 'can't win anything with kids' Koeman. Sweet.

Straight swap for Berahino...

That little back heel flick coming out of defence against the Pool. Oh yes.

Good grief, this thread. Manager who can barely string a sentence together in English says he enjoys watching one of his centre backs play football. Nothing else to be seen here. Move on.

Decent point against a team on a good run. The annoying results this season have been Hull away and Sunderland at home. Should have won both and if we had we'd be 6th. Those are the games we need to put away. That Hull result is still p1ssing me off even now.

Sturridge to leave Liverhampton in Jan? They owe us one...

Rickie's goal

We're not the first team to suffer as a result of playing in the Europa League without a squad costing 100s of millions and we won't be the last. But very frustrating against a team that look nailed on for relegation. This is Saints though...

His arm-waving was so unclear that it looked to me like Virgil thought for a split second that his goal had been disallowed...

I usually stand in the Northam but for the first time ever I sat in the Chapel last night. It is a very different experience, but it was OK. A bit more stroking of beards, and a bit less effing and blinding. Got to see all the goals though...

Agreed on both points. Claude seems to have cooled on PEH a bit at the moment. He'd be a nailed on starter for me. Chelsea v good though - Moses born again, and Hazard back to being close to unplayable. Costa still a complete **** though.

No way we deserved to lose up there earlier in the season. No reason why our reserves can't turn over theirs. COYR.

Job done. What a goal.

Yeah, pretty heroic effort. The threw everything at us, but we deserved the point.

And more than ten years since Theo left - and according to this, only now has he fund his 'extra gears'. What a sad indictment of Arsenal's coaching methods. He could have been so much greater. Hopefully he still has time. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37707349

And this...

Row row row your boat... So-so-Sofiane Sofiane Boufal He comes from Morocco And he really hates Pompey. Oi.

Top 8 in the league tonight could easily be the top 8 at the end of the season - and not necessarily in the current order. Looking below us and there's no reason at all why we should be falling down the table. Tough couple of games coming up but we're a top 8 side now.

Four players now in the U21s - congrats to Jack Stephens. Hope he can push on at St Marys too...

We were rubbish by recent standards. But it's a decent point. We're still one centre forward short...
