The one thing that is competely clear is that Targett's foot did move, he planted it and then lost his footing, his foot clearly moves. Ref did not give pen because it was not deliberate and not dangerous (can't believe some of the ****tish posts on here about other reasons for not giving it, really do think some people ought to try reading the Laws of the game). Fab then goes to ground making a meal of what happened. Whether the ref booked him for simulation (understandable) or for his reaction is not entirely clear, but to have given a pen would have been extremely harsh on Targett who did not put a foot wrong during the match. It was also poetic justice for all of the ridiculous decisions by the referee in the first half after John Terry had a little word after Pelle brushed him feather-like early on. Terry really is a grade one arsehole.

So if I read the report correctly he has been advised to avoid the Premier League for the good of his career, and has been advised that Southampton may be the best destination to deliver his undoubted potential. So he either has multiple advisors giving him conflicting advice or Saints are planning to switch to the Bundesliga or La Liga or Serie A next season.

Odd really given he is same height as Jose and Toby, 6'2".

He was clearly subbed because he was exhausted, knackered, ****ged whatever. He was out on his feet. Not surprising for the shift he put in for a CB

Think its a one game suspension, not half a season. Why do people continue to ignore Ronald's unequivocal statements.

I could put it another way, we are fourth We should play our strongest team against Ipswich, end of. Certainly no need to rest Morgan as he will be having a rest until then anyway.

Nope, you were definitely at a different game to me and it seems everyone else. Did a terrific job in an unfamiliar position until he succombed to being ****ged out after probably running more in one game than he normally does in 2 or 3. Partly at fault for the goal admittedly, but he actully offered a lot more attacking than I expected and was defensively pretty sound for someone who clearly prefers playing left side (I was not happy when I found out he was playing RB because his previous display there was woeful but today he was very professional and deserves a lot of credit for playing where he was asked).

Interesting that someone has voted for Clyne (not me). Bit unfair on Yoshida to leave him out of the MotM poll. He was completely ****ged when he was subbed, its one thing being a CB but trying to do the RB role these days is a whole different experience - thought he put in a very good effort until the fitness issue told, though he was partly at fault for the goal. Thought that was a great result today, but till came away disappointed that we probably could have won if we had not switched off just before HT. Referee was a complete berk today, Jose moaning there is a conspiracy takes the biscuit when they were playing with 12 men in the first half. Evened up the cock-ups a bit in the 2nd. Have to disagree with those saying Morgan had to take the 2nd yellow for the team, sorry but he really didn't. He may have thought he did but we had adequate cover. Still we played well against Everton without him, and think if we go 3-5-2 again we can cope without him again (play McCarthy at RWB). Mane great first half, not sure he was still on the pitch 2nd half. Tadic was awful after the first 20 minutes or so. Pelle was frustrated that the imbecile ref took a dislike to him and penalised him every time he breathed. He is poor sometimes at holding the ball up, today was one of those days. Davis was good, but he has been off the boil a bit for the last couple of games. Back 4 were tremendous, Target was great but he does need to learn to deliver the ball accurately after doing the defending bit so well, its a matter of experience, otherwise he looks a great prospect. Victor was excellent again, thank goodness Kenya are not very good. Forster was reasonably solid, though he still managed a ball juggling wobbly in the 2nd half, but really not too much to do again. JWP is an enigma, he really does not bring much to the team at the moment apart from set pieces, he seems unable or unwilling to tackle, and is very slow to get out of the pen area to clear his lines - he will be very good, but just not convinced by him right now. Also thought Fabregas dived, or at least went down rather easily, never had any concerns it was a penalty, despite what the **** Jose M thinks.

Just about to leave from frosty Wiltshire, hoping for a win today but realistically would take a draw.

Even funnier is the Man City guy who sees dipping into the market for JRod given the current Man City striker crisis would be a good move. I guess some people don't get out much.

Looks like Dutch car park. The second car has yellow front plates, not UK.

Surprised no-one here picked up on this report when it was published about three weeks ago. It seems the only link for Southampton according to BBC "pundits", even they are not stupid enough to link Morgan with a transfer out given that its clearly a done deal that he will stay until at least the end of the season.

West Brom, Irvine has already said he fears for his job, sounds like he's a gonner.

He definitely said that Morgan will not be sold in January. He answered this specifically to a question about Morgan in press conference. It sounded like it was possible someone else could be sold, but doubt we are talking anyone major, perhaps they can find a mug who would buy Mayuka.

Maya is supposed to be available for Arsenal, Ronald agreed with the Japanese coach: "I spoke to the national coach of Japan and Maya will stay until after the game against Arsenal. Sadio will stay until after the game against Ipswich (in the FA Cup).”

Well Ronald says its 3-5-2 and it clearly is. Quite often it is actually 1-2-5-2, as Toby plays as a sweeper.

Agreed, Chelsea are quite good too.

Archibald Leitch, also responsible for The Dell, amongst many others. On the other hand this is the Arthur Wait stand built in 1969.

Any ideas as to why Davis has gone off? Hopefully not an injury, seems odd to take off the captain.

Goal and assist for Gaston

Assist for the 2nd

Scores for Hull today

I'm sure she wouldn't let you, especially as you can't even spell her name.

Oh dear, Turkish will be embarrassed.

Daily Echo jumping to conclusions, maybe we will sign more than one attacker. Also RK never mentioned goal keeper position, only midfield and defender. He also actually said we would not sell in January to a specific question about Morgan, it was not a generic answer.
