Better than that Ossie!

Que?

Arsenal 1 Norwich 0

Saints in control

Chelsea 1 down

Ricky would have buried that!

Full time: Newcastle 2 Liverpool 2 Which means we can still go top if.... sorry.... when we beat Man Utd by 2 clear goals...

Oh, just a hunch...

@SouthamptonFC: #SaintsFC substitutes versus #MUFC: K. Davis (GK), Lambert, Ward-Prowse, Cork, Guly, Chambers, Hooiveld.

@SouthamptonFC: #SaintsFC team versus #MUFC: Boruc, Clyne, Fonte, Lovren, Shaw, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, S. Davis, Lallana ©, Rodriguez, Osvaldo. Lambert on the bench. The man who couldn't be dropped eh?

Newcastle 2 Liverpool 1

@mrdanwalker: Here is your pointless stat of the day: If only 2nd 1/2's counted Southampton would be top of the PL #saints @SouthamptonFC #StatCave

Me too!!

A pivotal game for the modern day Saints. Win this and I think we can start to say with confidence that anything is possible this season, lose it and we're back to 'plucky mid-table Saints' status, in the eyes of the media at least. Heart says win. Head says defeat. Gut says draw.

It's all nicely set up for a big fall...

Me too!

+10 obsessed nutjob points (or should that be -10 as this is the Pompey thread...?)

http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/news/article/guy-bury-are-dangerous-1119372.aspx Nice to see they're back into 'ready-made-excuses' mode although a shame they're yet to drop the 'opponents-cup-final' rhetoric...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24552155 Our strength is in our attack? Maybe someone should tell him we've conceded 2 goals and kept 5 clean sheets so far this season...

Damn....bang goes my theory that you're Mr Cortese...

Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook Pochettino refuses to comment on agent's claims he and Gaston Ramirez do not get along #saintsfc

Conference just started. Pochettino answers first question about Boruc in English: "Yes, he's OK".... much to the confusion of his interpretter
