Golac's Iron Gonads

Also to add to Pochettino's delusions, earlier in the season he claimed Spurs fans only wanted Kane in the starting eleven because he was English, at a time when Kane was only being used as a late sub for Adebayor and spurs were struggling to score.

I'm pretty sure at least 2 of those wins were against 10 men, too. I think I recall Villa being 1-0 up before some idiot did something stupid and they promptly conceded 2 goals.

Is it not possible that Pelle had a different role today? One that involved him winning the ball and laying it off or playing in to the 2 speedsters getting behind a slow Rangers defence. Great win, happy to lose 12 quid the goal went in just as I stuck 15 on us not to beat West Ham. Hope to lose that,too. If it costs me 200 quid to see us get into the champions league I'll consider it money well flushed.

someone block that ****ing keeper at corners!!

was there with the old man, as a 14 year old from London I knew nothing of the rivalry, my dad was from North Baddesley, but he never mentioned Pompey. We'd never played them since I'd been going (March 79) so to me it was just another cup tie against lower league opposition, though I did notice it was far more passionate an affair than any most I'd gone to. Do remember them throwing stuff at Danny Wallace I think, some old bloke in the Saints end yelling 'kill the copper' as a copper went under a seething mass of pompey fans to our right. Don't recall any trouble leaving or getting home, but do remember the press going on about the fighting etc the next day, but that was par for the course with the british press back then, they ****ing hated football and its fans. When the goal went in the place went mental, well not the whole place, I'm not sure how 3/4 of the ground reacted because a massive surge carried me a few steps down, and the noise was unreal, a primal ****ing howl from 10000 odd saints fans. Have to say though, not being a local boy the wins against Liverpool were always sweeter for me back then. They were a real team, not some nobody mullet up front bunch I'd never seen play before.

Yep, but I'm rating him compared to other Prem keepers, not international, not all time, just this seasons premiership keepers. He's one of the best, I think I'd only take Lloris, Courtois and possibly De gea over Forster, none of the others.

8/10 great improvement on Boruc and has years ahead of him.

Get him on the banner!

Isn't Bprac the the on board computer in Blake's Seven?

We look so good, even on an off day you can see the class of our players and that little bit extra class is winning us these close games. What scares me is that that is exactly how the top 4 teams usually manage to finish top 4. But we can't can we? We're Southampton FFS.

Is that one of those fleshlight things I've been reading about. When I say 'reading' I mean searching ebay for a cheap used model.

Sod this game where's the Man Utd build up thread? That's a 6 oointer to be sure. A win would be so huge that 50% of the population of Southampton would suffer involuntary bowel expulsions.

Didn't Arsenal boo one of their players off the pitch not so long ago. I'd never boo one of our own, never! Especially during a game.

If a scapegoat is a player that many see as having cost us a game on numerous occasions I'd say Gennoe/Wells, Benali, Paul Jones, Kelvin, and Fox all have good claims. Of those I'd say Fox and Benali were liabilities in the top flight and possibly Kelvin, but Leeds away, Leeds away!

Wanyama was a beast again, but with silky touches today. RESULT!

The 8-0 was special but somewhat tainted by how bad Sunderland were that day, also I wasn't there. I was at the Emirates though for the cup game, and Clyne's goal is my moment, great player, great goal, great night. Reminds me of Golac, only this bloke's better.

Our best hope is Ivanovic giving us a penalty, and getting himself sent off in the process, in the opening 10 mimutes, and Costa limping off after 20.

Nice one Mane. Made it look easy.

and can we play on a ****ing Saturday again please!

If you can't beat rubbish like this then you don't deserve to be in the top 4. Gutted, should have had 4 points from these 3 games against the big boys, going to end up with 0. ****ing useless.

Yeah, I'm fairly sure it was in some French Football rag a couple of months ago and mentioned on this very site. Nice that it's dragged up again the day before we play the champions, someone couldn't be trying to throw a few spanners in the works could they?

Sadly I don't think we'll ever see an article 'Why it is time to take Robbie Savage seriously'. Unless he's holed up in bunker threatening the lives of Adrian Durham and Andy Townsend, even then I'd be inclined to ignore him and let him get on with it.

Flying out to South Korea for a new job at bloody 9pm tomorrow, might catch 20/30 minutes of the first half in a bar, but won't find out the result for 11 very long hours. Will be the first thing I do upon landing, make me smile Saints! And do so by being 3 up against 10 men by the 22nd minute.

FFS Benteke and Ramirez both got themselves sent off against Spurs when their sides were winning 1-0, both end up costing their teams. 'holes.

Did Levy and Taider get a vote?
