It's looking like a 0-0 to me

Tadic needs to get that on target. Great chance

Wouldn't you share pictures of your front room if they were on the internet? (rather than just sharing pictures that you took yourself? After all, it's perfectly normal to supplement your own pictures with those that you find on the internet. Yep, nothing odd about that in the slightest... )

Won't the Tories and UKIP split the 'non labour' vote though? (much as they did in 2015)

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC Should #SaintsFC beat #NCFC, the #EmiratesFACup clash with #Arsenal will kick off at 5.30pm GMT on Saturday 28th January, live on @btsport.

You are aware of what the concept of a troll is, right? If only you had some influence on here....

Seems a reasonable assessment of where we are.

So Hamilton Saint could be right? (given he was advocating swapping one player)

It has all the hallmarks of a Saints signing... Under 25... check Played for national side at all youth levels and captain for U21s/23s... check Unfulfilled potential... check Hungry... check Get him on the bus!

From this afternoon's pre-match press conference... Puel: "I prefer for the moment for Jose to stay out of the team"

I assumed the yellow was for dissent?

3 weeks from when he picked up the injury (last week I assume?) or 3 weeks from yesterday? Sounds pedantic I know, but if the 3 weeks started counting from the day he was injured then there's an outside chance he could be available for the 2nd leg.

Forster Cedric Yoshida VvD Bertrand Romeu Hojbjerg JWP Sims Redmond Long Subs: Lewis, McQueen, Stephens, Davis, Clasie, Tadic, JRod 0 - 2 Saints (Long, JRod)

Just back from the game. Excellent performance from the whole team, maybe Tadic the only player below par. Difficult to pick a MotM, but I'll give my vote to Redmond. Yes, he missed a few chances but he ran himself into the ground for the team today and his chipped effort that hit the bar was sublime. Special mention for JRod who is starting to look like his pre-injury self and for Yoshida who filled Fonte's boots with aplomb. And a final mention for the ref who was absolutely dire. Can see us finishing the job at Anfield, especially if the players are as psyched up for it as they were tonight.

Oh, go on then.... for old time's sake...

Very astute. For a bear

With my psychobabble hat on, could it be argued that it would be better to go into the 2nd leg a goal down rather than a goal up? If we go into the 2nd leg a goal up, I assume Puel will be tempted to set up the team to protect the lead rather than extend it (and we all know how that will end up...), whereas, if we go into the game a goal down we'll have no choice but to set ourselves up to attack. Hmm, on reflection, I probably ought to be locked up for thinking out loud and spouting such nonsense...

This

Yeah, defo O'Connor. Cheers guys

Who's the chap on the ball in this shot from today's training video? Don't recognise him.
