Mr Saints

Saints legend, good luck Jase.

I'm not convinced we would of been able to understand what the Dutch clowns were talking about even if they spoke perfect English.

Alan Pardew's red and white army! Huge relief to have someone in charge who knows what he is talking about.

My suggestion... 'Papa don't pass, shoot insteadddddd' (Papa don't preach) No? Ok then.

Live in Essex and just got back after a celebratory drink or two. Superb TEAM performance tonight, the big difference from last season is we actually have some balls about us and players are willing to stand up and be counted right down the spine of the team in Jaidi, Trotman, Hammond and Lambert. Dominated the first 20 mins, if Lallana had put away a great chance at 1 nil it would of been an absolute cruise. However, after conceding the equaliser the heads didn't drop and the killer goal just before half time meant we could relax in the second half and hit them on the break which we did very well with Papa and Lallana. Superb away following and according to Southend fan I spoke to afterwards, 'the best at Roots Hall for a good few years.' Onwards and upwards with Pards!

It's been a long day, that should of been 'era' instead of error. But yes, signing a player that had moved 3 or 4 times by the age of 24 and played about 10 competitive games in his career before failing to get even close to the first team in a year does go down as an error in my book whether it was a freebie or not.

Another link to the Lowe error slips away!

Lesson to be learnt: Never play 4-5-1 at home against a league 2 side

Davis nearly embarrased from the half way line.

Davis for his loyalty as he could quite clearly be playing at a higher level. Lambert for his all round ability and work ethic.

With all the **** we've had to sit through in recent years, I would welcome a trip to Wembley.

James getting roasted at right back. FFS.

Gills bloke injured, sub.

Hopeless. "One of the only clubs in England that is debt free" Means *****all if you can't compete on the green thing with 2 big nets at each end.

Same sh!t, different day.

Surely we ain't bad/naive enough to throw away yet another lead?

Desperately need to get a run of 3 or 4 wins on the bounce going very soon.

Does alright at small clubs with small expectations but give him a job at a big club with a big fanbase and he would crumble under the pressure. Looked clueless at Leicester. COYFR

What about Hammond?

I actually thought Bale looked a better prospect when he was with us (although probably becuase we saw a full season of him). Theo seems a good kid and just shows that being bought up the right way can make a big difference. Now needs to get a run of games until the end of the season so he can get on the plane to South Africa.

Great to finally win, individually we probably have the best starting 11 in the league but still alot of improving to come as a team which will come with time. Davis - 7 - Dealt with everything that came his way. Thomas - 6 - Solid before coming off with yet another knock. Harding - 7 - Easily a Championship player. Trotman - 6 - Bit clumsy but good enough to deal with what they offered. Jaidi - 8 - Exactly what we've been crying out for in the last 3 years, absolute rock. Lallana - 6 - Average, not a left winger. James 6 - Average, not a right winger. Hammond - 8 - Good on the ball, mobile and strong in the tackle. Very impressive. Schneiderlin - 6 - Not at his best but didn't need to be. Saga - 6 - Not getting the breaks in and around the box but plenty of effort. Lambert - 8 - In the Beattie mould, wins everything in the air and put away the pens superbly. Mills - 6 - Should start wide left, offers natrual width and good delivery from set plays. Waigo - 6 - Lively but raw, covers the ground very quickly but needs time to adapt. Wotton - 6 - Bought on to break up play and did just that.

Exactly, them and Tranmere are surely the weakest in the league. Anything other than a comfortable 3 points next week would be embarrasing.

One of the toughest games of the season on paper out the way. Decent point.

Papa in the 80th minute is my prediction. COYR

Apparently he stood up and said enough is enough to Lowe and Wilde during our horrendous run last season. Soon after he was gone.
