Saints foreva

Far superior side won. We played far too much long ball today, more than West Ham did the other week at St. Mary's. Boruc - **** poor for the 3rd goal but stopped us from being 4-0 down inside the first half. 5/10 Clyne - Probably our best player, done well. Got forward and defended OK. 6/10 Yoshdia - Terrible and at fault for the 2nd goal. Kept their player onside and got bullied for the majority of the game. 3/10. Jos - Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes. 3/10. Fox - Meh. 3/10. Cork - Good performance from him, shame he had to go off injured though. 5/10. Morgan - Didn't do much wrong. 6/10. Lallana - Awful, forget he was even on the pitch at times. For me he hasn't proven himself this season. 2/10. Davis - Worked hard, terrible pass which lead to Fox being sent off though. 5/10. Jay Rod - Didn't really do anything. 4/10. Lambert - Probably one of his worst games in a Saints shirt. 3/10. Ramirez - Was looking good until his sending off. ****ing idiot, wouldn't give a **** if that is the last time we see him in a Saints shirt. What the hell was he doing? He was being held back and was probably going to get given a free kick but decided to react. Overrated ****. 1/10. Thank **** Boyce scored a late OG in the Wigan/Spurs game.

& What a goal it was:

I'd hope for our strongest possible line up if we did draw them in a cup next season.

Really hope they make it to the 3rd round of the FA cup next season and we draw them. Doubt either it will happen though.

Also four years today since this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/8014811.stm What an adventure.

Why?

Think it's changed to he took us to the Premier League, but the words for that chant rarely get chanted now.

I wonder how long his ban will be.

Boring game but a good point. We didn't look great in attack when we replaced Lambert for Ramirez. I can't remember him completing a pass.

Wow, so they've got away with it..

First half an hour of the City/Wigan game has been boring. No real chances and City are struggling to keep hold of the football. As I type, Kolarov intercepts to stop Kone from having a tap in.

Nothing Unique about St. Mary's imo.

Well it is a boring bowl with no character.

Like Jos but Fonte is the better defender out of the two. Hopefully Fonte returns to the starting line up on Saturday.

He won't come good. Bologna mugged Cortese with this one, £6m would be more like it imo.

Just people in denial. The guy has been a flop and if he'd signed for someone else for that money, many on here would be saying "glad we didn't waste £12m on him".

Another £12m performance from Ramirez.....

How many football crests look professionally designed though? I like the current one so I would be against any change, we'd gain nothing from changing our badge. I wouldn't rule out the club using the black and silver version of the badge on an all black away kit though.

Imagine if we saw a change of badge and colours....

I certainly didn't expect to lose to Man Utd going into the 85th minute of the game.

Can't say I'd really care if he wants to go. Hasn't justified his transfer fee and will probably go unnoticed on the pitch tomorrow, if he plays.

No we're not. Only 4 points clear, Wigan have a very winnable game vs QPR and we have a banana skin at the weekend. It's actually surprising to see some bookies having us at 33/1 to go down.

Media always ask new managers things like that when they're going up against the man who they replaced. Adkins had a similar question put his way before we played Newcastle at home.

Not looking forward to Reading away now.

Hope our fans ignore him until the final whistle.
