Golden Balls

Odd. I thought he played well and has done his last 3 appearances. Thought he looked hungrier and put in far more effort than usual. Always trying to make something happen, even if he doesn't always pull it off (which isn't unusual in an attacking position)

I'm normally one for making plenty of noise but yesterday was a struggle. Had a banging hangover after about 3 hours sleep and had the wind and rain in my face. Couldn't give a toss about singing. Sorry I let you down.

Love it when he runs at defenders at pace with the ball at his feet. So often gets past the defender without any skill. Just keeps it close to his feet and taps it past them. I suppose that is skill though....

Being selfish, great news for Saints that one of our rivals has lost a good player for a period of time.

I vary vary rarely expect us to win a game. Usually when I do, they let me down. So apologies but I expect a 3-1 win.

Had a horrific injury when playing a game at St Mary's. He was working at Fitness First for a while then went to Australia. Think he's back now but not seen him since.

Golden thread this

How nice of Rickie to remember that chaps birthday

The Portsmyths have been in hyperdrive tonight. Yet again apparently we were run all over Southampton again tonight, yet never turned up yet, we're beaten to a pulp. When in reality they turned up to the stadium with modest numbers, sat and watched as their academy got thrashed then went hope quietly.

Just hope the tickets are priced sensibly. We obviously won't put a good team out which is annoying.

Really can't see us getting anything up there.

Really hope we don't stick with the JRod rehash song for him..would be a missed opportunity. It has to be Righteous Brothers - Lovren feelin' We're trying hard not to show it - Dejan, But Dejan, Dejan you know it. We've got that Lovren feeeeelin, Woah that Lovren feelin, We've got that Lovren feelin now he's on, on on wooooooah. And no clapping so no speeding it up. Winner.

Saw Schneiderlin is Tesco Ocean Village after the game. Said he should be fit for next week.

Excellent from him. Like others have said, he offered a lot going forward which he wasn't so much before. Always solid but Redmond in the Norwich game gave him a lot of problems. Great future ahead

How spiteful from the club. Fair enough ban FB but why refuse to stock the book? Very poor!

I'd rather not to be reminded of that horrible game alongside being told how much younger and richer some teenagers are compared to me.

Was once in the same room as Craig David without realising it was him.

Booked tickets online for the Mayflower recently and it doesn't allow you to just leave one seat free. Saints should adapt their system to do the same.

Calling Turkish. There's an attendance thread. Time to indirectly quote MLG as if he is speaking for the whole fan base regarding expanding the ground.

Shouting from the roof tops = One or 2 posters on a forum.

Stop all this bloody positivity!!!

They'll need to keep their heads. Very easy for these young players to get caught up in the atmosphere.

It's happening
