We're longer term as we've brought in new young players, probably on relatively small wages. Whereas west ham have done the opposite. If we'd 'done a Swansea' then I'm sure west ham fans would be wishing they could be more like us, but they have a lot of players who have played in the prem for a good few years. Also they're a bigger club with more money coming in.

Efficiency, As someone else has mentioned they underperformed last year massively, Allardyce makes his teams hard to beat. Averages say that if you hoof the ball into the box enough times, atleast once the ball will drop to one of their players and give them a chance. We've looked long term while they've looked short term, They have momentum from having a good start which breads confidence.

I blame Nasty Nic and his agenda, it's written into their contracts.

Just another thread of Turkish posting his dross on this forum. You're a total tool if you think Adkins would have put up being told his selection before the game. We've mixed up formations all season and Guly hasn't now been involved in 3 of our games now. Don't let this stand in your way though Turkish. Like another said, you're contributing to the level of this forum.

Has always gone down too easily, but like has been mentioned, it's hard to decide what's a dive, if contact is made is it ok to go down?! Argument is there to be had. Thought Clyne could have gone down in the first half,

It's more crap which Turkish has made up and repeated on here, glad that's cleared up.

Thought they all played well today, even the defence. Cork was impressive especially as he's not played in ages, looked far more solid as a unit, just the problem of individual errors, Gazza should have put his foot through it rater than passing to Yoshida. Next week is now huge, especially if Villa beat Utd!

Thought he did well when he came on.

Really hope we don't start 442 today.

Another pointless thread started by MR!

Had a quick look at lunchtime, seemed to be quite a few in the Chapel/Itchen corner. I looked there as it's normally the emptiest place !

Shelvey hasn't done enough for me to be in the squad. Don't think he's all that. Sterling is a handy player and will do a job in the coming years. Pretty average squad though quality wise, lets hope it's got a bit more fight than the normal England bunch.

Anyone watched this Chicago Fire thats on Wednesdays on Sky Atlantic ? Have seen the first 2 and it's relatively interesting, not amazing though they're still introducing characters and personalities. One thing which I have got into is 'Trollied' on Sky1. Easy watching and quite funny. Must be written by the same people who wrote Early Doors because it's exactly the same kind of humour!

One of my close uni mates (bird) has just moved to Southampton, having lived in Sheffield for the last 5 years - originally from near Cannock. I'm going to meet up with her tomorrow evening after the game and was gunna go for some food and a few drinks somewhere. Where do people advise me to take her seeing as though she knows nothing about Southampton really. Ideally somewhere where you can sit and chill but also has some kind of atmosphere to it. Cheers

Surely Claus deserves a mention?!

Think he's also touch and go through injury.

Vorm is injured I think.

Good.

This sold out yet ?

Anyone know how close this is to being a sell out ?!

He is absolutely dreadful. I said in pre season if he even gets close to our bench then we have major problems. I still stand by that.

What successful business men are 'nice people'? You don't get that rich by being a nice bloke and never being ruthless do you!?
