What the hell is that in the background on Solent?

Team: Davis. Butterfield, Fonte, Hooiveld, Fox. Chaplow, Cork, Hammond, Lallana. Sharp, Lambert. Subs: Martin, Harding, De Ridder, Guly, Barnard.

Not very. I've had confidence since we came out of the sh*te patch around christmas that we would go up.

Davis would be helped by pass completion being so high, no doubt. So this team is in the top hundred; -------------Davis Richardson-Fonte-Hooiveld-Fox Guly-------Cork----Morgan---Lallana ----------Lambert---Sharp

Every team has had their fair share of them. The only time I'd say we were particularly bad for it was the Prem relegation season.

For once I agree with you. This isn't going to result in anything other than everyone calling each other mongs or c*nts, so I might as well just nip it in the bud.

Indeed. People said we needed a "hard man" for the last 8 years or so. We didn't do too bad the last two seasons without one. What you need is the balance - and IMO, we've got that. Morgan has upped the physical side of his game, and Hammond has upped the technical side. Cork was already good enough on both sides; and it's worth saying I thought he was outstanding yesterday.

Weirdly that incident was him kicking the ball into his OWN fans.

I'm fairly certain that pitch invasion involved far more than 3 or 4 people.

Erm, no. WE are in the driving seat. If we go up now it's down to US. If West Ham go up automatically, you could understandably say that it was due to us bottling it...but in reality, the table at the end of the season is a fair reflection.

How do you know? Not knocking you, just a genuine question.

Indeed, but the point still stands - Ashdown would have been off if he'd given a penalty. It wasn't even a good f*cking dive...

I think it was Rocha that "fouled" him, and he was already on a booking. Hoping to get him sent off I assume.

It's not normally that bad, it was just the euphoria of the moment I think.

I was in the Northam and I could see it was a dive. Disgraceful really.

Wow. Is that seriously a bookable offence now? You see that sort of thing all the time. I never saw Chopra get booked when he danced about in front of us at St Marys a few years back, or Jerome, or Fuller.

I have to say I don't remember the last derby being like that. James certainly didn't look affected - he had the game of his life.

I thought everywhere was loud to be honest. All sides got involved...except at certain periods in the game, obviously...

Great minds...

The beeb has the goal down as 90+ 3:59, so it would have been in normal time anyway.

Just remembered, Rocha should have been off in the first half for raising his hands to Lallana. Also noticed that Norris wasn't booked for jumping into the crowd - what exactly did Sharp get booked for after his first goal?

I can guarantee you those who went on the pitch didn't have a thought process beyond "f*cking yes!", let alone something along the lines of "I think I'll dodge to the left of that steward, run on the pitch, pick up the corner flag and wave it a bit. Yes, that's what I'll do".

Jesus. It's all relative mate. I'm devastated in relation to the result, the way the game panned out, the manner of the equaliser.

I am absolutely devastated, regardless of league position or any bigger picture.

I managed to land the 1860 Munchen job from unemployed, no playing history, in about november of the first season. Was made up - now taken them from the relegation zone of the second division to Champions League, and we are currently challenging for the title.
