Can someone describe how this thread would have turned out differently if it HAD been started by a Pompey fan on a wind up? Just curious. (Hypothetically of course)

Only if you read through the thread first to count how many times this picture has already been posted...

You're surely not suggesting that GS and BS are one of those clever breed of trolls that manage to stay just below the banning radar are you? The ones that push things just far enough without accumulating enough infractions to get a ban? Can't see it myself... Whatever next? Accusing them of having a persecution complex?

It's just "different opinions" though, innit...

Are we turning the playing surface into an ice rink?

Agree. Lambert's effort off the post was fairly sublime too - shame that didn't go in.

Luv ya 2 paps babe

We looked good on MotD. The pundits purring over Lallana in particular.

Great result. Cementing our status as a top half side in the premier league 3 years after plying our trade in League One. Splendid stuff.

Is there a pre-match press conference today? Edit: Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC Mauricio Pochettino will be speaking to the media at midday to preview tomorrow’s trip to @Official_CPFC. Updates to follow. #saintsfc

@alex_crook: Just had a nice chat with George Burley about giving Adam Lallana his #saintsfc debut. Amazing the young players he has brought through

You'd have thought so. Mr Wenger won't be happy that he played on and potentially made it worse that's f' sure.

He got 3 pages out of it though. Credit where credit's due.

Wilshire out for 6 weeks with hairline fracture

That's made my day reading that. We've had a shortage of deranged statements recently.

My player of the last 18 games is Lallana

Luuuuuuuuuuke

My home contents insurer reimbursed me for one that got nicked from my car last year as my policy included cover for 'personal possessions away from the home'. I even told them that I'd somewhat stupidly left the car unlocked overnight but they said as long as it wasn't in view (e.g. glove box) then they would pay up.

Yep, Mr Hodgson seems to be hinting at a cameo role at best... The FA ‏@FA Hodgson: It would be nice to get Luke Shaw on the pitch but I don't want to make any promises just yet #England
