Alan Hansen? Hardly a pivotal figure in 150 years of football is he?

Add Lovren for Golac (diff position I know) but both out of the same top-draw and cult-hero status already looks nailed-on for Lovren too.

Worst player in the Prem? Don't exactly know but Guffran must come close?

Any one read his autobiog? Top read and right up with some of the very best sports books.

Fair play if they did but ..... Fulham went from Lge 1 to top 4 in the Prem in three years? And the week when they arrived in the top 4, 50% of their match-day squad were players or youth players who had come up from Lge 1?? Not sure about that???

Awesome, not sure this will ever be repeated (or has ever been done before?)

Dipped out there, I called it 2-0 Osvaldo and Lambert in the build-up thread! Who ever would have thought that moving into a CL spot could be so straightfd? Palace poor and we did enough, hopefully it will be be a better spectacle against Swansea next week, a much more realistic test of where we are at the moment.

Get in, Os off and running!

Cork and Ramirez for Wanyama and SRL?

We're labouring somewhat, ball seems to take a long time to go from back to front? Palace have surprised me, not really parked the bus and quite happy to have a go when they can. Disappointing so far. Sticking with 2-0 , based on what I'm not sure!

He scores when he wants He scores when he wants Dani Osvaldo He scores when he wants.

Sounds like a fit and proper person to me (tho I probably wouldn't tell him he wasn't to his face).

Smells like teen spirit.

I was disappointed to read a post somewhere on here last week referring to the players throwing their shirts into the crowd at Liverpool last week and indulging in lots of man-love at the final whistle; the poster put it down to 'the spirit the MP has generated', I wasn't going to rain on his parade at the time and spoil my/his weekend, but this is utter horseshi7. 'Team spirit' started with AP and was carried on massively by NA, MP was lucky to inherit a team 'together as one' and TBF, if it's not broken, it hasn't needed fixing. The 'togetherness' thing is what sets us apart, we genuinely seem to be doing things 'the Southampton way' (Jeff Stelling's comments today) and if we can retain this focus we will become the Academy of choice for pretty much every talented player in our catchment area. Happy days.

About as meh as it gets, one for the SuperFans only.

Unbelievable, and anybody that 'holidays' here is complicit in this as well.

Don't really care, will probably go to a home game if they price it right. Would prob go away anywhere south of Brum. Don't even know who is in it?

Don't think there's any chance of this after last week, the players will be (should be!) on cloud 9 after last week, they will have loved the feeling of winning at L'pool and will have loved looking at the league table all week, and they will want more of it. There's competition for places too and they will all want to play when we are doing well. Same team, 2-0 Osvaldo and Lambert (pen).

Oh dear, can-of-worms? Not care about the shirt colour? Seriously? You'd have no objection if we turned out in Blue/Amber/Green/Claret next season? Extraordinary. Come on trolls: 'Would you rather we qualified for Europe playing in a blue home strip, or be relegated wearing a red and white one, innit'.

Not sure you can play Carrick and Fellaini in the same team? Big panic buy but I reckon Moyes will get two full seasons before they even look at anybody else.

V impressed, not been to Liverpool or Anfield before. Excellent day from start to finish, drove up to Crewe and trained in. Couple in the Ship and Mitre, then Arkles, then a walk round the ground. A proper football ground that oozes tradition and the memorial is very well done. Natives v friendly and very generous with their time and comments. Train back to Crewe in high spirits and chatting with a couple of top Saints fans I'd not before, really really good day out, our away support is top draw on days like this.

Of course he should, 12 yds out, wide of the goal. ball pinged at him and a defender on each shoulder. Receives it with his back to goal, one touch he sets it through his own legs, turns quickly and gets an early low shot off, on target and asking a lot of the keeper. Keeper gets down and makes an excellent block. Agree 'he should have scored',

Mods, I think this should be moved to the lounge.

OMG Just in, and that has to be up there in one of the best away days I've ever been to, awesome performance from the team and fans, A snip at 40 notes and with a free sauna thrown in.

TBF they are starting to get in a position to do a lot better, decent manager, decent new GK, they appear to have shed some deadwood and any team fielding Suarez, Sturridge + Coutinho shouldn't struggle for goals.
