Tomorrow night on the Beeb.

Who'd have thought it, a Premier League team playing a near full team actually progressing in the League Cup! If Koeman's priority is the cups, he's sure going the right way about it! Lovely win despite the missed chances, and a lovely goal from Clyne. Hodgson you blind bastard, wtf does Nathaniel have to do to get some recognition? Through to to the last 16. 4 matches to win guys, 4 matches to win....

Do we need her?

Be nicer to win it. It's built into us as Saints fans from our past that we are worrying about Arsenal scoring again. Come on Saints, prove to us you've changed! Everton conceded 3 again...

Cazorla on. He's got a goal in him...

SSN are slow... Just realised I've had it on Pause. #embarrassing

:-D

I thought that. Hope he doesn't hit them all like that.

I like that Sky Sports News has the highlights of the goals as soon as they're scored!

So Tadic is our new penalty taker then!

Mané you ledge. TADIC! :-)

In surprising news, Altidore has scored a goal.

? Boruc is at Bournemouth... I love the look of that team. Strong but giving opportunities to Targett and Mané, who can't have trained a lot with the team but is apparently match fit.

I'm going to take a leaf out that Scottish blokes book and whack £900k on Arsenal progressing tonight. That way I'll either be happy with the extra cash, or happy Saints have gone through to the next round. (But homeless and with broken kneecaps from the loan sharks.)

If we get into the Europa League, I hope he sticks around long enough to help us compete in it!

According to the Telegraph, Hodgson is set to call up Blackett to the senior England squad because he's short of left footed centre halves. He's 5 games into his Premier League career, been sent off already and looked out of his depth against Leicester. I wonder why...?

Good attack, inexperienced defence. If that's the team, It has echoes of United's problems this season. There'll definitely be goals tonight IMO.

Wenger is in the Metro claiming that had we not sold our best players in the last few years, we would have won the title. Well durrrr, but it's not so easy in the lower leagues when we needed the money from the Bale and Oxo sales. Not to mention we perhaps wouldn't have seen the likes of Lallana's talent reaching fruition. Anyway the best thing to do is learn from it, stay in the Premier League and keep faith in the youngsters in the future. As for tonight, beat Arsenal and we must surely be considered one of the favourites for the competition even at this early stage. To be fair though, as long as we give them a hell of a game, I'm not massively worried if we go out. We could lose to worse teams.

I think he played there in a game or two in his loan spell with us in the Championship.

Very much this. I could envisage Lallana sat in his bedroom, an Everton spanking fresh in his mind, rocking on the side of his bed, clutching a copy of The Sun which is opened on the page with the Premier League table, and a tear slowly dribbles down his cheek. He walks over to his wardrobe, digs out his old SFC kit, and kisses the badge. "One day," he mutters, "One day I'll be back home." On the wall is a dartboard, a photo of Dusan Tadic adorned upon it, and three darts aimed for his heart.

Never seen someone look so depressed that they'd just scored. Fair play to Lampard though, he's still got that "arriving in the box late" technique mastered.

I also wonder what Hervé Jean-Pierre Villechaize would make of our start. I'm going to hold a séance...

Ok, I don't usually start these but I'm rather excited for this game. We're bang in form, and saw from the Millwall game that Koeman seems to be taking the cups seriously by playing a strong team. Arsenal will probably play some fringe players for this, I can't see why we can't win at The Emirates. Play a strong side, and I think we could nick it 1-0. Mané to feature from the bench.

Great win. Ok played against 10 men for half of it but you get the feeling on another day that'd have stayed a draw. Bring on the Arse.

I have Bony in mine... :-(
