I still rate him as someone who has a role to play but he is always going to be frustrating and look disinterested at times, yet he always has the potential to create a game changing moment. He played a key role last year including his part in the win v Newcastle and his goals securing points v Arsenal and West Ham, while not as consistent as others without him we would have been far closer to the drop zone. Was 12 million too much? Probably. Yet there is no point casting a player who is still young and with his natural ability aside. Sadly he is at the catch 22 of needing game time to improve and having players who are performing better currently ahead of him.

So what is it to be? Shares? Stakes? Ponzi? In fairness it's good to see that the fans will have some influence for their cash. Certainly the use of the word stakeholders undermines any true claim for fan ownership they had, it is merely a full and frank admission that they simply bankrolled the current owners who they hope and pray will have the clubs best interests at heart.... and P.S. guys, cheers for the dough!

It's excellent for watching iPlayer, catchuptv or similar on a larger screen. I have this set up at home in my bedroom.

:lol:

Very good guys. #take2 How many souls are in the stadium tonight?

Any idea what the crowd is?

By gum lad, don't thee knooo t' mother tongue?

As far as I could see, any touch was utterly negligible. Delighted we got the rub of the green, but like the Schneiderlin challenge last week... we were fortunate.

Hmmm, Yes, Liverpool should have had a penalty, but yes, we deserved to win.

Furious that Lawro has bottled it.

Lawro has bottled it on Match of the Day. We do get Hansen and Robbie Fowler though.

lol @ the obvious Saint cheering in the home end when the goal went in. Good man!

Nothing on Blayney.

For those who havn't seen.

Goals from open play? That's so last season darlingz.

No. I get that. But what kind of sparring where they undertaking? Were Swords part of the agenda?

Any respect I had for that man is gone. Seriously, what the hell was he doing to sustain that injury? Sparring!? Really?

Looking forward to Mark Lawrenson having to offer choking praise. That'll be worth an entire season's worth of dross from him.

Our depth in midfield really told in the second half. Ward-Prowse, Cork and S. Davis all used to help us smother the scousers. Fantastic to see them used to great effect.

How very un-Saints. More shots, more shots on target..... less possession!!

Get. the. f**k. in!!!

Jesus, when Matt cries 'goal' he does sound like Merson!!!

60 seconds......

Relax. We've won this. Good god be right Col......

Merson: 'Southampton have been very, very comfortable.' Dizzy heights!! Just hope we hold on.
