More hope then expectation. Lallana for England.

Nonsense. Most of them will not be aware of football before 1992 and Sky television.

The bet was on whether Saints would score at all, not the number of goals. Only one pint for you my friend.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2004/feb/01/match.sport6 We havn't taken a game to a team like this since then. Still utterly buzzing after today.

While the premier League got Jos excited, for Tevez it was positively blissful.

I like that, I like that a lot.

With Hammond looking to be sidelined through the emergence of JWP and the signing of Davis, will Lallana as captain be a more regular feature? A product of the academy and part of the club for over a decade as captain? For me it makes a lot of sense, hopefully this will become official and permanant.

Guly had one or two moments of calamity but otherwise he was good, caused city loads of problems.

Really? He had a great game for me, showed a little of his usual tendancy to lack end product but worked tirelessly.

He was exposed against one of the best attacking sides in the world. He did fine.

Disagree, it's just a symptom of the way we play, our full backs will be a little exposed and he had very little support. He did some excellent touches and contributed well today, all of our players can hold their heads high tonight.

We're Premier League! We're Premier League! We are Southampton! WE'RE PREMIER LEAGUE!!!!!

We played really well.

So many positives to draw from today.

Whatever happens now, this shows we are not to be underestimated.

What a game this!!!

Dzeko equalise. I don't actually care. Anything from this game would have been beyond my wildest dreams.

We're premier league! We're premier league! We are Southampton! We're Premier League!!!!!!

Get in rickie!!!! Wow!!!!!

Lambert on for J-Rod.

Decisions not going for us now.

Bugger. 1-0 City, tight offside call. Fonte gambled it and got it wrong. Very encouraging performance so far though.

He is tracking back well and seeing a lot of the ball.

Adkins shouting: "We're giving it away too easily...."

What a terrible penalty!!
