Looking back at the Sky Sports app text commentary, Everton had two yellow cards... Bernard and Calvert-Lewin

The oracle of English football... https://talksport.com/football/779840/redknapp-tottenham-premier-league-challengers-alli-admission/ p.s. didn't realise Hojbjerg used to be a security officer! 😂

Yep, a "All other clubs make move to catch up with Saints" headline probably wouldn't have yielded as many clicks...

# Trousers still banging on about Salisu klaxon # One would have thought a B Team friendly would have been the ideal opportunity to give a "nearly ready for 1st team squad inclusion" Salisu a 30 minute run out...?

Man Utd aren't *that* bad are they...?

I know I'm in deluded 'counting chickens' territory way before they've hatched, but has anyone seen a team so far this season that we shouldn't be confident about getting a positive result against? Edit: cue Spurs goal

At least when people write off players / managers prematurely its good to look back and have a bit of a chuckle at their over-reaction....

8th according to this: https://www.twtd.co.uk/league-tables/competition:premier-league/daterange/fromdate:2019-Oct-26/todate:2020-Oct-25/type:home-and-away/ Although, I don't think that includes today's result as I'm pretty sure Sky said in the pre-match build up that we had amassed 51 points since the Leicester game. So, today's result puts us on 54 points for the last 12 months, which would indeed be 6th... (Having played 1 or 2 games more than some of those teams in the vicinity admittedly)

I wonder if Ralph would resort to playing JWP at Right Back and bring in Diallo to start alongside Romeo in that scenario?

Bugger (got two wolves defenders in my FF team, which is obviously far more important than the impact on Saints )

So, is someone going to buy this high flying club of ours, or what...?

Getting a lot of praise on social media this evening from fans of all clubs (along with the usual "can't see him staying at little old Southampton much longer" of course.) Pole position for October Manager of the Month I'd have thought?

Whilst Digne's foul on KWP wasn't in Roy Keane territory it was dangerous play none the less. Digne knew exactly what he was doing - "I can scrape my studs down his legs here and make it look accidental". Fair play to the ref and VAR for not falling for it

He's been here so long now that I keep thinking he's approaching his mid thirties but he's still 'only' 29. So, yep, let's get him pinned down for the next three years.

Yep, got a good feeling about this fella

Might have something to do with having been a Saints fan for over 46 years...

So, making Calvert- Lewin my fantasy football captain worked a treat

Difficult to choose a MotM today. So many worthy candidates. Think I'll give it to Ings though as he assisted both goals and has been all over the field all game.

It annoys me too but if we end up winning then who are we to say he should have done things differently?

Maybe time to bring Long on to run into the extra space created by the sending off?

Yeah, got the two mixed up there for a moment

Assume that was a direct red rather than second yellow?
