A note of caution for those hailing the fact that we scored four goals: two of them were penalties.

Martin just needs to tweak it at the back, and we will motor the rest of the season

Why did they think that this manager was going to be the messiah? What was the evidence?

Sounds like an absolute fiasco so far.

Whereas Puel's possession was ponderous and timid, Martin's includes sudden changes of pace, and rapier forward thrusts, via by passes and runs other than sideways and backwards.

Very good

The game is so much more natural and flows without VAR

Yeeeeees

Bugger.

+ 6 minutes!!!

Yaay

Rocking back on our heels at the moment

I’d say, we are about the right size of fish for this pond if we’re honest

This is it. I went a lot on spec home and away during the League one and Championship years and it was superbly enjoyable, but never went once or had any interest in doing so during the recently-ended Premier League era. I can feel I am getting interested in going back to games again. I don't get a season as I live 4 hours away and have done for 17 years.

Managerial career outcomes thus far: mid table.

Classic Italian defensive performance from Inter so far, with a modern twist in regard of the pressing.

Thank God that dreadful “Pepsi kickoff show” has finally finished. Even worse than the piss poor BT Sport pundits.

Clearly, some people have a lot of time on their hands.

Yes, Brighton clearly decided to mete out their own rough Justice. It worked because Martinelli‘s been subbed off with an ankle injury!

I really don’t understand refereeing and how the rules are applied these days. Martinelli not even booked for that challenge?

The Sports Republic custody of the club has been an absolute disaster so far.

Too old to feel real pain about it. And we’ve all had several months to acclimatise to the inevitable. When they sacked Ralph, they should’ve appointed an Allar-Dyche. We just might have survived. The Premier League is a deeply unattractive business nowadays. From Nation-State clubs, and the sickening circus of the Big Six, to the puerile but self-important army of Sky pundits. I absolutely loved League one and the championship last time round.

12 minutes to score, 3 goals and rescue the season

After the substitutions, it could get a lot worse

It’s a real pity for the Southampton hordes behind the goal, who have made an excellent account of themselves.
