In the spirit of the Great Man: Negative: Poor corner given away by Harding and poor defending on the line by Guly Positives: We didn't lose to the fishy ones We are top by a point going into 2 Xmas home games 5 times out of last 6 seasons team top going into Xmas has gone up Lambert was immense Hooiveld showed why we were right to buy him

Some sanity, at last.

There were two I could discern: "Stand up if you've ****ged his wife" And "you're **** and your wife's a slag" Not pleasant, really.

OP in looking for cloud in silver lining when top of the league after almost half a season shock.

Be that as it may, worth noting that we would not have equalised when we did had Lallana not skipped his way around a couple of players on the edge of the box before the ball eventually reached Richardson who crossed for Rickie to score.

This is the problem with people like you; everything you see is either black or White. Either you're an insightful realist (or however you perceive yourself) or the absolute antithesis: a "happy clappy". And, in true Tory tradition, you use alternative opinions as a stick to beat people with. You may even be the complete fu.c.ktard who told me at the end not to clap my team off "because they're rubbish and Adkins is ****". Sad. Terribly sad.

Hear, hear.

Seconded! Whenever I see him on tv, I just want to shout. What talent does he actually have and what on earth does he do??! He's like a throwback to the 60s where some bloke with a medicine ball just stood on the sidelines pretending to be talented / useful.

Keith Southern also out for Blackpool after undergoing surgery for testicular cancer last week. Good miss, but best wishes to the bloke for a quick recovery.

Yes, was at both games, though from where I live (Medway) Donny is slightly nearer and Bristol slightly further away than these places are for denizens of Southampton. Is my decision to remain positive rather than join the doom and gloom brigade now more valid?

Q: what is more depressing than seeing your team lose 2 games out of 3? A: reading the depressing, wrist-slitting negative drivel of people who cannot find a balanced perspective, who cannot enjoy the fact that we are almost half way through the season and top of the Championship, and who seemingly only come out of the woodwork when things go slightly wrong to demonstrate that they gain absolutely no pleasure from their short sojourn on planet earth, other than in being miserable pains in the arse.

Ooooooooooooooooooookay.

WHU 1 Burnley 1

Some people are only happy when they're moaning; it's a peculiarly British disease...

Cork

Moan, *****, whine. Jeez get a grip.

Blimey, that second half was quick. Is the game over then?

Cork and Jos on Twitter: Bad result today and performance. Good thing we got a game tues to forget it. Thanks again for the massive support, despite the result. Twitter for iPad • 26/11/2011 18:03 Back with both feet on ground again! Have something to show the next games. Hate deflection goals, gutted. Great support though THANKS!

Absolutely! Will always remember watching the montage of his greatest moments on the giant screen with Sinatra singing 'My Way' ringing out. Still brings me out in goose bumps whenever I hear that song today.

Maynard scores to put Brizzle 1-0 up at Millwall.

Middle laners (on motorways as well as on this forum). People who use 'myself' when they mean 'me'.

Hammers draw 0-0. Saints 5 points clear at top.

I think Arsenal are at home Saturday, so you should be OK.

Jeez. Glad you weren't my PE teacher. What a sad little man you must be.

Do we take it from your tone that you would rather Guly hadn't played SDR in? Did you react to MLT in the same way when he ambled around the park for 89 minutes only to spring a sublime piece of skill in the 90th to open the game up? Guly is not perfect, but he works a damn sight harder than many and, because he is human, guess what? - he sometimes makes mistakes. To single him out for criticism is ludicrous. Without question, he has been one of our best players this season.
