DT

Poor to lose possession there. Gifted equaliser

Amazing. Well done saints. Felt this would be a toughie, especially given late arrival at ground!

re: Fitzhugh Fella's excellent post: Sounds fair to me. And worrying. But re one cup in 129 years - surely you're not ignoring our Football League Cup triumph over the mighty Carlisle? ;-) Doesn't augur well and especially if the lads are starting to implode/bicker. Here's hoping we at least put in a team performance against the toffees

Need to get the cheque books out for January to avoid monumental slide down the league...

So is Morgan still 'injured'?

My bro had a good suggestion - Defoe. Although I've always hated him as a Spurs player, he'd provide the kind of finishing we need. Also think Long has been pretty poor so far and well off his price tag. Also think we need a back-up keeper.

sell for highest price

Personally am worried about this one, and especially the pervading sense amongst fans that we will necessarily win. They will be well up for this one, and we have those injury problems in the midfield, allied to a striking department that hasn't been firing on any cylinders for a while. Manage your expectations, people. Would personally be happy to get back to a clean sheet and a 0-0.

A team that doesn't injure any more of our players, please

I'm sure it's happened before. Very easy to get a doctor's note...

As I said, he was out against Arsenal because of a pre-agreement* * may still have been a lie/gut feeling

That was utter cacka from Long. Amazing lack of awareness

Has Tadic touched it yet?

That's okay, Paul, I'm not convinced about your beard.

Morgan Schneiderlin is out of this game as per pre-transfer contract agreement between the two clubs* *this may not be at all true

Yes. Good squad player. Can shift shirts...

I can see us using 1/10th of the fee we get for JayRod from Spurs to get him, which will look great business when Jay's hammy pops, first game in.

Let's hope Corona passes his fizzical.* *gag for older viewers

What does Le God think of him?

Scousers step up their 'stealing off Saints' strategy

On the upside, all our English players played with a stiff upper lip and a reserved demeanour... ;-)

I thought he had a poor game last night. Seems more suited as an impact sub to me, and not consistent enough for the full 90 without being careless, at least not on the basis of last night. Then again, no one exactly filled themselves with glory. One of those nights. Perhaps they couldn't get motivated in what was the worst atmosphere I've witnessed for a long time. Kept having to check mute wasn't turned on.

That was a shocking dive from Hutton

Bloody hell, Forster.

he still had a bit to do there. ace
