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?

...

Bernard gets a yellow for that all day long if he wasn't already on a yellow.

If we're going to sit deep then we should at least bring on another player who is taylor made for such situations... #diallo

I hate being a Saints fan... Sitting here as jittery as f*** despite my team seemingly cruising along at 2-0 up with 25 mins to go...

Ssssshhhhhh ( FFS )

How has Ings not got a touch on that?!

Come on Ralph. 10 mins up...

Because Bertrand catches the defender's leg rather than the other way around..?

If we're still 2-0 up after the first 10 mins or so I'd be tempted to bring on Diallo for Redmond and push JWP a bit further up

Fingers crossed for a good 90 minutes Saints performance today rather than the 45 minutes one we often get served up

Tempting fate klaxon...

Surely Walcott changes that now though?
