Huddersfield will be the bigger threat - which is why I was hoping Bournemouth could hang on to their lead in extra time - but as others have said we shouldn't fear either of them

"Blackpool boss Holloway fears losing Puncheon to bigger club" ... what, he's coming back?

Well said, my thoughts exactly

...almost the South American way?

I thought they were playing "keep going til Posh score" - then that happens!

thats why I said 11-0 would be good (I'd settle for a point)

11-0 would be good

At the risk of sounding like sour grapes the Brighton I saw at St Mary's weren't playing with superb style they were playing with niggly, shirt pulling, time wasting, petty fouling, typical South American "efficiency" - but tbf it won them the league. I know all that goes on all the time to some extent obviously, but they seemed to take the gamesmanship (2 minute goal kicks) to a new level! Perhaps that wasn't a typical day, it would be interesting to know how typical it was of their play this season.

You have won the league.

we can stay second though if we don't let in another 14 tonight (Bournemouth now 7th)

Good to see Diamond Davis in goal again .... hope he's feeling sharp

btw No-one is ITK hth COYS (WHP)

Lies, damned lies and statistics... its all about winning games of football at this football club, and not falling off the bus

I think, if I'm reading this right, its indicating we have an 86% chance of finishing second ? http://www.sportsclubstats.com/England/LeagueOne.html

Good solid performance all over the team - though Dickson was absolutely superb, real class - but knackered for the final 20 mins!

I'm sure we must have swooped for, or snapped up... can't imagine we just signed him Fantastic statement by the club, and a great endorsement of the academy, lets wish him well

There is some very re-assuring information on the BBC website: "Southampton will close to within two points of second-placed Huddersfield with victory over Charlton" I didn't realise it was already confirmed, but thats good news. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/12930681.stm?

:lol:

We seem to have some of our best results when we're not playing

Can we all just agree for next season that they are all "must win" from day 1. There.... simple.

New Years day 2002, away at Chelsea, Chelsea 2 Saints 4 Southampton: Jones, Dodd, Lundekvam, Williams, Bridge, Telfer, Delap, Svensson, Marsden, Pahars (Ormerod 82), Beattie. Beattie 2, Pahars and CMFL ...or Norwich 4 Saints 5

The Costas sighting is the confirmation were all waiting for

You're just N'Guessen

First half beeb stats: Saints 59% possession, shots on target 5-2, off target 5-0, corners 3-0

You don't want to believe everything in the Sun
