VvD was motm by a country mile. Won pretty much everything in the air and dragged us kicking and screaming to a point. Romeu was good as well, his long range vision is excellent and he battled well in midfield. As a team we were pretty poor in the attacking 3rd today, needed long. Martina wasn't as bad as some people who were watching from their sofas were suggesting but we could've done with Cedric on the pitch.

They will if Vardy and Mahrez get injured and miss a month.

When I got married to my first wife in 2004 we went on a Kenyan/Tanzanian safari, we caught a connecting flight from Kenya to Tanzania and I was sat next to a pompey can. Merrily chatting until he asked where I was from, when I I said Southampton he said "oh, I'm from Portsmouth" he never really spoke to me after that. I thought it was funny but he got all weird. Luckily the flight didn't last long.

I know you're bitter about Leicester being where they are but you can't fluke a season I'm afraid. Regarding the OP - No. It'll be nice if Leicester win the league, prefer them over anyone else at the top but I want us to beat them like every team we play against.

I did exactly the same and it was torn cartilage so hopefully that is the problem and not ligaments.

Poch is a quality manager, he makes his players work extremely hard and going to spurs was a step up. If he wins the league it will be an excellent achievement only slightly watered down due to the surprise poor effort by Chelsea and Man u having a manager who is struggling with his team. Of posh does win the league he'll be well and truly under the radar of the very top teams and if spurs start performing badly next season or go out of the champs league early he'll be off like a shot.

great stuff on here from clueless people.

Be a good chance for Romeu to show what he can do with a good run in the team. I like him and hopefully he can show we can do well without Vic

Maybe I was a bit harsh. Championship/bottom premier league player. If Swansea get relegated it will be interesting to see what premier league team challenging for Europe will try and buy him.

life insurance is betting on own death? Surely it would be the same as betting that a game would finish and taking money? nothing whatsoever the same as backing saints for failure.

Sorry but cork is a good championship player at best

Ahhh St lej probably didn't get a chance to trade out. why aren't the odds plummeting?

But Yoshi shouldn't be near the team according to the knowledgeable guru's on this site. Humble pie being munched by a bunch of mugs tonight? Excellently fought win and we need our whole squad to do it.

I expect we'll bring yoshi in the back 3 and have Bertrand as the left wingback. Yoshi is pretty physical which will be needed is Carroll plays.

Koeman only manager to win 3 games in January including 3 clean sheets and an away win at United. No one has done better.

Austin hasn't had much game time so hoping this injury is just a tweak and not anything long lasting as he will be an excellent player to come off the bench for the final 20 minutes until he's fully fit. I think Clasie will come in for Romeu but I think Romeu is a quality player and should stay in the team. I expect Pelle to be picked for this match as well and maybe Long rested.

Would love to be surprised again Charlie Austin stylie but I can't see it happening. I wonder if we'll get any ridiculous offers for any of our players.

I'm sorry but the fact he went for £20-£25m showed we didn't overpay and whatever people think of him and how he left us he was excellent for us. We shouldn't re-write history.

I think Austin turned down West Ham or at least said he wanted stupid money to go there. Then the two clowns got all uppity about it. I'd love for Austin to bang in a hat-trick against them.

Yeah good shout. I've beem massively impressed with how he's made the step up from MK Dons. Give it a year and there will talk of the big clubs after him.

Long or Davis, Davis missed the Man U game so has to be Long. Nice to see Matty get the recognition though.

Only team to win 3 games in Jan should secure it but I'm sure there will be reasons to pick other managers. Also 3 clean sheets only one conceded. A defender or Forster for player of the month? I know Forster wasnt in goal for Norwich game though but that might help him.

Seeing as Saints are the only team to win three Premier League games in January Big Ron would have a decent chance to win another MOTM, upping his stock.

A couple of weeks of bad results (that all teams have) and the panicky hand wringing starts. Can't believe some were talking about genuine contenders for relegation and getting a manager in that can help the scrap. Is it all going to start again if we lose to Arsenal? Good job the management of Southampton have more of a backbone than a section of our fans.

If have Bale. Probably.
