Margaret Thatcher scantily clad in a nuns outfit? I'm on the case...

Unless Adkins gets sacked whereby they'll switch it to first....

I'll go with what Pap says on this matter....

Stan Collymore on Talksport: "It's looking like a genius move by the Southampton board bringing Pochettino in when they did"

For the first time in 4 years I don't give a toss what happens to Pompey this coming week. Too busy buzzing about being a Saints fan. Hic.

All we need now is a euphoric appearance from Alpine for a full house...

I'm a supposedly mature (yeah right) 44 year old bloke who is still walking around the house clapping at comments like this I keep hearing from pundits today. Time for beer number 4...

On the TV replay you couldn't see the edge of the ball pitch side of the post but by the same token you couldn't see a gap between the ball and the post on the other side. So, given that element of doubt the officials made the right decision.

Dion Dublin and Garth Crooks drooling over the impact Pochettino has had on the Saints team on Final Score just now. "Much more belief and fluidity than under Adkins - showing the confidence and freedom of a continental side"

8th....hmmmm..... has a nice ring to it....

Stoke 1 Villa 3

Stoke 1 Villa 2

Stoke 1 Villa 1

Norwich 2 Swansea 2

Not unhappy with that

IMO, the third relegation slot will all hinge on the effect Di Canio has on the Sunderland team. My gut feel is that it'll be a bit of a car crash effect and Sunderland will go down...

And I'm back on board after my temporary glitch early on in the match thread...

Not got a link but watched it earlier - pretty much an identi-kit Adkins response to a loss

“If you just set out to be liked, you will be prepared to compromise on anything at anytime, and would achieve nothing” - Margaret Thatcher

No man of the match votes for Morgan.... must be a first this season...

I'm still clinging onto my 8th place prediction at the start of the season.....

Norwich 1 Swansea 1

Norwich 0 Swansea 1
