Yes, Koeman had Mane last season but was also out of Europe and 5 places below where we are now at this stage of the season. Mane only really started firing on all cylinders in the second half of the season. From what I've seen of Boufal thus far, it wouldn't surprise me if he had a similar impact this season.

Ah, yes. Fair point. That said, Murray was a shoe in so they could've got it over and done with in 10 minutes

Boxing Day is on the 26th this year FFS

We're doing better than last season despite having been in the group stage of the Europa League. So, if we improve even further now we're out then bring it on I say

If you squint your eyes slightly whilst watching JRod's second, you'd be excused for mistaking it for a vintage Le Tiss effort.

We're now on the same points total as game-week 20 last season. So 3 'free shot' games to come. Happy days.

Just watched the JRod goal for the first time. Wow. Just wow. So pleased for him. Happy Christmas fellow Saints fans

Been driving up and down the M4 all day so not seen the goals yet, but Jay's second one sounds like it was a beauty. Is it OK to be nauseatingly optimistic yet...?

Bizarre and "nauseating", apparently...

Massive event at the home of Portsmouth Community Football Club (est. 2013) earlier today... Fill yer boots fellow nutjobs...

Genius!

According to one of the Stoke players being interviewed on Final Score earlier: "It's always difficult playing against 10 men". I could've told him that...

FFS. Hurry up and get promoted already

We were lower in the league this time last year so we're better off without them (just)
