Ben Smith @ BenSmithBBC4S Southampton have allowed Emmanuel Mayuka to join Sochaux on a season-long loan. Saints also trying to get a few more out

Just a SKY news cameraman. He might have spotted such a vehicle arriving. Just a hunch....

Cortese locked him in the broom cupboard?

'Wind up merchants' know that human nature dictates that people are more likely to react to being 'wound up' than ignore it, ergo they know they can create a 'vicious circle' by getting people to bite then reflect the accusation back at the people they are tempting to bite. Clever stuff.

Thanks

So, three games in and we're on the same number of points as Man Utd. Perhaps we should lend our razor blades to their fans once we've finished with them.

400% improvement on last season so far. Damn these new players.

Yep, because comparing fine lines in a close result with season changing events is like-for-like...

You do realise this isn't the place for pragmatism after we lose a game?

If Lallana's effort had been a few inches to the right and Redmond's shot a few inches to the left this forum would be a completely different place last night and today. There's a fine line between love and despair

1 point from these 3 fixtures last year; 4 points from them this year. #progress

You know we're in trouble when THEVMAN joins in post-match chit chat rather than telling us who is in the starting line up or who we're signing next...

I wouldn't put it quite as negatively as that but I wouldn't have had Lambert in the starting 11

This. 3rd clear cut penalty decision to go against us this far this season.

Hush now you glass half full optimist!

Far too pragmatic for this thread I'm afraid. Have another go but add a few more negatives.

SWF logic: A narrow win and we're brilliant; a narrow defeat and we're sh1te The fickle world of internet football forums.

I disagree. Yes, we weren't at our best but Norwich, as the home team, were equally benign most of the game. A draw wouldn't 'have been an unfair result for either side.
