Prepare for the media wank fest about how a brilliant manager Gerrard is

Next goal is massive. We need to get it

Guess we were due a performance like this

We need half time, this could be all over by now

So important we don't concede a second before half time

Happens every round. It's not even if they need the luck of the draw. Maybe their number balls are stuck in the freezer for a few hours before the draw.

Absolute wankers in my view. I was in the Itchen on the corner of the Chapel,so think at least two of them came in from that direction. Grown blokes going on the pitch is just pathetic. No sympathy with them if they do get banned.

Must admit when I got into the ground, I was feeling pretty deflated, although by half time I was sensing we were going to do it. Ralph got everything spot on today, the subs made at the right times for the right players. Can't ask for anything more than going through.

But the changes make us weaker! How can Ralph justify that?

He must be on a bonus for finishing higher in the league

Exactly. They fuckin played Sunday too

Smallbone. Jesus Christ

What the fuck

If he plays anything like the starting eleven when we played Coventry then that will be a huge piss take. No reason to change that line up from Friday. Make the changes in the game if needed

If we rotate and make wholesale changes and they don't, Ralph is going to look pretty stupid

Waste of time

He's getting nowhere near any of them

Thought the ref has been really good. Mike Dean should be watching this performance

Haven't lost to them this season, great chance to make it three times

To be honest,I always thought Howe was a pretty decent manager,certainly for a mid table Premier outfit like us. I think too many people are blinkered because of his Bournemouth and Skate links.

Yeah, I'd agree with that, I think we are on par with West Ham to be honest. Wolves, possibly better, however I think they are going to struggle to hold onto the likes of Neves etc.

Thought we played most of the game well within ourselves, almost felt at times we had a eye on the cup game. The result was never really in doubt, although would have preferred the second to have come a bit sooner.

Another goal for Tadic in the Champions League. Really under valued when he was here
