Liverpool take the lead

Come on Stoke!

The difference between Pompey's "loons" and ours is that the Pompey ones don't realise how looney they sound... (That's assuming 'ours' aren't Pompey "loons" in disguise of course...)

He'd look even more "pathetic" if he didn't get any bites

Yep

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC Lallana: “With the next run of fixtures, hopefully we can creep back into the hunt for a European place.” #saintsfc

Cheers for the snippet of info. Did he mean "back" as in back in light training or "back" as in potentially available for the match day squad?

Thought Webb was OK today. Gave us our fair share of 50/50 decisions IMO

It does slightly baffle me as to why both Shaw and Clyne rarely take on the opposition full backs down the flanks. They almost always resort to a backwards or sideways pass when they reach the opposition defenders. Maybe there's a statistic out there that reveals that, more often than not, taking on a defender gets you nowhere and by keeping possession the move is more likely to be successful in due course. Dunno.

I think this has got a draw written all over it

Sunderland (A) - 1 pt Arsenal (H) - 1 pt Fulham (A) - 3 pts Stoke (H) - 3 pts Hull (A) - 0 pt West Ham (A) - 1 pt Liverpool (H) - 1 pt Palace (A) - 1 pt Norwich (H) - 3 pts Total = 14 points

Does anyone have any idea why this forum is a much more pleasant place after we win? Can't quite put my finger on it

Billy who?

I though Webb was very fair. Gave us plenty of 50-50 decisions. So much for the predicted referee backlash following the Clattenburg incident...

On my way home. Possibly the dullest 45 minutes of football in the history of mankind in the first half. Saints almost too patient but more or less in control. Better 2nd half. Exquisite piece of skill from Gaston to set up the goal for Adam. Deserved the win. 30 points. Get in!

Gaston sporting a nice haircut

I guess Cork and Yoshida are our 'emergency' full back cover

I have the advantage of being at the stadium

Team as expected. Ramirez and Guly on bench

@SouthamptonFC: He's back! Artur Boruc starts for #SaintsFC against @WBAFCofficial. Full team to follow. http://t.co/1c5SmXEz9v
