At least we got the first ever positive words Alan Hansen has ever said about us!!!

The twitch saying nothing directly about us I see. What a slimy ****, 'I couldn't say anything to undermine Mark.....'

Alan Hansen: 'Southampton were brilliant.....' Pardon, what? He never compliments us!!!!

The beers are on Tractor Saint!!!!!

After Villa, our defensive shape was screwed by the injury to Richardson and following it up away to Everton was always going to be very difficult. Then Ramirez was injured. Shaw hadn't emerged at that point either. If we are going to put together a run, now is the time. It's not a foregone conclusion but we have a chance to draw ourselves back into the pack now, we must take it.

+1. Utterly crucial to many of the good things we are capable of doing. To suggest he has underwhelmed this year? Madness. He won't be given the same freedoms he had at Championship level but is still showing his class. As for Rhodes, looks superb. He will be in the PL before long, maybe the most astute thing Venkys has sanctioned at Blackburn.

The match day thread went into meltdown when Davis came on! The same when Fox came on for Shaw, just shows how prior experiences this year have tainted our opinion on substitutes!

Thankyou for the report but I must call question on this bit. Even Adkins stated it was his best game in a saints shirt, watching online he was instrumental in the first half, retaining the ball, linking play and distributing well going forward as well as pulling their full back all over the place. He seems to be striking up a great rapport with Clyne and alongside Cork was our most impotant player today for me. Aside from Gazza everyone played brilliantly today mind. Nice place to be where we can debate who did the best for us in a 3-1 win!

Quite right, as long as they keep saying, "Yes, but it was worth it for the cup win.... 4-1 at St Mary's etc...." they deserve everything they get. Until that tune is changed the karma will continue.

So I was right! haha!!!

Yes, It does on mine now too.

This.

Yes, but this will be on before you get the choice at 10.30 or so. - And apparently they've changed their minds and made it West Brom v Chelsea instead...... for f**ks sake, sorry guys. Looks like we'll just have to be patient. Mods, please delete this thread.

Club World Championship. Chelsea will be a little pre-occupied.

I wonder what he thinks of our respective transfer policies now.

Where's Flyer when you need him? And Gazza's first iffy game, he's only a kid and his saves in the first half were crucial. Should stay in the side for me.

Can only be Punch for me.

Why have a house!? That is pretty fit.

We are game of the day, just wanted to bring it to wider attention.

When do they decide who the Football First game of the day is?

THERE'S ONLY ONE NIGEL ADKINS. As much for him as for us, a wonderful result.

No wins in 6, no goals in 5. 2 points above the drop zone with -10 to come.

Regardless of how poor QPR were, the psychological boost here is going to be massive.

Boos ring around Loftus Road. The three points are OURS!!!!

There's only one Nigel Adkins...... One Nigel Adkins......
