If its a bad first half will have to channel flick during the second half with the cricket…What an amazing sporting afternoon it would be if Saints and England both win?! Will be nervy whatever happens, so will need a few beers COYS/COE!!

Well around me the support was very loud all second half, not sure what else we can do unless we have loudhailers, drums, Leicester style flappy thingies, and Scouser flares. On a brighter more positive note what about all our stunning left foot strikes! Tadic started it a few games ago, then VVD, then we get 3 crackers in one game - not had a glut like this since we had Nick Holmes, David Armstrong etc in the team.

Ruddy brick tease...

Yet he started off OK on Sunday when he was on the left wing, then for some reason he and Davis swapped over which meant both were trying to come back inside; thats what lead to the second goal counter attack. He was out on the left for the second goal v Stoke. KISS.

But Stoke back above us….otherwise not too bad, in our hands

Both Lawro and Steve Cram have us winning in their predictions…saying last nights game will have taken it out of them. Save Mane for the second half then.

Why change a winning team against a team with a similar make up of midfielders and one up front? Only Fonte for Matt T for me. No Big Vic as he cannot be match sharp.

Steve Davis and Kelvin before that. There are some good ones around without having to scour the gossip columns.

How about Martina alongside VVD and Ryan in a bcd 3 with Cedric and Matt T keeping Shackeerie and Bun head at bay? Then Romeu, davis, Clasie with Long and Mane up front. Best team by far….. No Pelle or Yoshida to moan and groan at or worry about..

Go to the turf fields between North Baddesley and Chilworth on the A27, forget the trading name sorry, but the guys have their numbers there by the gate, they will help you I am sure.

Bit worried we will have lost just a little match sharpness; never seem to do well after a break; typical for us to play Chelsea when they are in probably the best form of the season! 2 tough matches coming up now as Bournemouth will be desperate to win at home now...

Clattenburg at it again… never a penalty….would never have given that to us!!!

12 games unbeaten now, a 0-0 draw would be a good result, keep the clean sheet run going and overall 4 points off them this season. RK will play 5 at the back for sure against them, 3 in the middle, Davis and Mane/Long up front as we are at home. JT went off injured, their subs looked very athletic...

We went two years ago and parked 5 minutes away in the front of a social club to the south, then walked into the car park where they sell beer outside; it was April in the sun, best part of a crap 0=0 draw!

We so miss Davis!!! Pelle is not fit clearly; VW was unlucky; Payet went over the top on him before VW fouled him, so with hindsight there may have been an element of retaliation; but never a red, just a late clumsy challenge, yellow card, get up move on. Clatterboots is bordering on being a nutter, seriously. Awful referee. Great pass from Sadio made the goal.

The point is the ref ruined the bloody game as a spectacle, and gave us the fans a poor value for our hard earned cash. We should sue the idiot.

Why does MOTD never show our 'dubious' moments? No analysis of VVD having his shirt ripped off in the first half and Davis being onside for a disallowed goal? I thought the ref was very soft on what I thought was quite a dirty Championship style Watford.

Surely if WBA only play one up front away, why not stick with 3 at the back, 4 in the middle (2 wide) Davis all over the place and 2 up front? Start with Pelle maybe as he is fresh, Long 2nd half or vice versa and Mane. Our width was so much better against WetFord with so many crosses causing problems all game. I think RoKo has found the best formation against the bottom half of the Premier League

I keep thinking about having a Brit team instead of the divas, but then keep realising they were possibly more mercenary than the JF's! Shaw, Chambers, Clyne, Lambert, Morgan, Lallana sold; JR and FF long term injured; remember when we sang '4-0 to The England' not that long ago? (Morgan counts as a Brit in my book….) Get the lads in RoKo!!!

All I want for Xmas is 6 points!!! Happy Xmas to all.

The last seven home games we have only scored in the second half against Villa two times, only one from openplay; we are clearly nowhere near as fit as 2013 - no stamina, no energy, no fight even when only a goal down, and no ideas! The 3 subs yesterday all caused immense frustration, where are the young lads coming through? Harrison Reed? So disappointing….

Yet another crap Saturday evening, do the team have any idea how it screws up the weekend? Only SCD and XF to look forward to, aint going neat MOTD.

I want to beat them, but I don't want a dirty skate sat in my seat again and have to watch that TWAB.

Who would have had Bompey beating Chelski and the Barcodes beating the Scouse?? Nothing to do with luck of course, deflections, good goals disallowed, football is fine lines...

So Vic doesn't care anymore after getting hacked down for what was at least yellow, he got into the box for a header….FGS lay off him; Likewise Caulker, chucking him in with no real game time is not fair to judge him. I stayed to the end as always because I put my money and my mouth where it matters, not by cheap sniping behind a forum mask.
