Indeed. Looks like it could be ankle ligaments. Let's hope not.

I know this question's been asked before, but can't remember the answer.... why don't we have the club's sponsor on the U23s shirt? (Stoke have theirs on theirs)

Not really noticed him TBH. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing!

Running OK now though. Panic over...

Van Dijk holding his ankle. Looked in a bit of pain....!

Penalty to Saints (won by VvD)

2-0 Slattery Great finish from the edge of the box

VvD scores. Free header at near post from a corner. Good finish though

Virgil to get some more minutes under his belt? Match being streamed live.

MotD (Phil Neville) drooling over Lemina's performance.... with the obligatory: "the big clubs will probably be looking at him already" comment....

I tend to post more when we're winning / have won, whereas some people do the reverse. Each to their own I guess...

At long last we now have a 'schneiderlin/wanyama'-esque duo in midfield. Great foundation for the rest of the season, with VvD sticking around being the icing on the cake. We've arguably got the best back 6 group (outfield players) in the league right now. And, yes, I know I'm getting ahead of myself...

...

Full time. Phew

5 mins added time. WTF?

Some boos for VvD.... #facepalm

JWP on for Redmond
