Appalling defending. Even Schneiderlin didn't move on the line.

Pedant, with a capital P!

Okay 'outraged of Purley', I get that - and of course we will, but if you think there won't be banter between the fans you are deluded (or have never been to a Derby game).

Seem to have plenty in our songbook, but I did like this one from the Auld Firm game: Rangers fans: "We're Rangers 'till we die, we're Rangers 'til we die...etc" Celtic fans: "You're Rangers 'til July, you're Rangers 'til July..." Very clever. Surely something we can sing at our blue brethren if they pipe up with that one? Any others?

Don't entirely agree. I think most of us soon realised we had no devine rights win it. Some WH fans are only just coming to terms with that fact.

They are delusional on there. They also all thought they'd walk the league. I hope they end up in the play-off's - I won't be putting money on them to win it though...

Reading won't lose. A draw most likely, but can see West Ham's fans getting on their back again so a Reading win is more likely than a West Ham one. Think WHU will win at Posh though. As long as we keep winning, I don't really care...

Definitely need to keep our feet on the ground. Need to treat every game like a cup final - starting with Doncaster. Lessons of history are very valuable, but I trust Adkins to do the right things and keep us focussed. One game at a time and all that. Even found myself getting carried away last night, but today - looking through our fixture lists - I am back to fretting and doing impossible table permutations in my head. Life as a Saints fan! COYS!

About 5th row back to the right of the goal, lower tier. Went ballistic like everyone around me. Had absolutely no doubt at all that he'd score it. Only disappointment was that RL went to th left of the goal to celebrate. What a legend he is.

I witnessed a miracle on Saturday - watching two guys in the disabled section leap out of their seats and run up and down the stairs. A priceless memory!

Did anyone notice AL strop off after being substituted? Pulled his hand away when Adkins shook it and threw the coat given to him on the floor. Bit odd, given it was about the 90th minute, and it made sense to bring Cork on to help defensively in the last few minutes. Maybe just frustrated at his own performance? Second half he was anonymous (being generous with language there!).

Looked jaded. Good to give him a break.

47. From So'ton originally (St. Mary's then Lordswood), but have lived in S. London since 1986. First game - not sure, but would have been 1975 I suspect. Do remember being at the WBA FA Cup game (replay) 75/76, but that sticks out because we had seats in Upper West Stand. Usually to be found in Milton Rd chocolate boxes, then graduated to under west stand. Usually Kingsland at SMS. No idea on first away game, can't remember, but would have been 76/77 most likely.

All round great performances today - Cork, Morgan, Adam were standouts for me. Brilliant team goal for 3rd and Chungs goal was even better than it looked on telly (was right behind it) - instant cult hero. Great win.

We are not playing badly, and Brum failed to beat us at home. Get a grip fer chrissakes...

West Ham 2 down

Yawn.

Very poor performance - worst fora couple of years. Leicester more organised, hungrier, better shape, thoroughly deserved the win. The bright point for us? We have Lambert, Lallana, Fonte, Chaplow, Lee (and hopefully Jos) to come back in.

Have always meant to ask, who is your team?

A Brighton fan mate confirmed that a couple of friends of his who were at the game and at that end of the ground were 100% sure that Lallana's shot fully crossed the line (as TV has proved). Haven't seen any angle yet that shows what I saw clearly at the game - El Abd holding RL around the legs to stop him getting up, though I noticed on the highlights that D'Urso watched the whole thing a close quarters.

Agree Fitzhugh - those decisions (the 'goal' and sending off in particular) changed the whole course of the game. And on the goal that never was, what was the linesman bloody well doing?! His positioning wasn't perfect, but surely he had a reasonable view? I don't moan about refs all that often (honest!), but D'Urso is just utterly useless - I think you'd get concensus from most fans across the country on that. Shouldn't you be out of your 24 hour post-match de(com)pression by now??

Down to the bare bones, I'd play him. Did okay against Blackpool last year. An if he doe play, give him a break...

Exactly why he was rested. Will be back v Brighton.
