Lovren, so shocking that even the Liverpool fans want him gone after 11 games, and Lallana who is struggling to get into the Liverpool first team. £45 million of utter hilarity.

It has to be between Tadič, Pellè, Morgan, Clyne, Bertrand and Fonte, with honourable mention to Cork, Davis, Wanyama and Alderweireld. Pellè gets it for me. Just. But my God is it a tricky one to decide. But every team that wants to be successful needs a goalscorer and he's also a player around which so much of our attack is based. I don't think he'll win it overall though, as strikers can drift in and out of a season with form. Continue as we are all season, and I'd be inclined to give it to our captain, Fonte.

It's an interesting run of fixtures now rather than a scary one, in part due to our form, our squad strengthening and our players individual talent, and also in part due to our more esteemed opponents struggling in one way or another. Simply, our wins and, ipso facto our points total, mean every point we take off the big boys is a bonus. However an added bonus is our goals conceded. 5. In 11 games. That's under half what Chelsea can boast. Even Aguero would struggle to score against us at the moment!

Bravo to all the fans that went today, you've done us proud despite the atrocious weather. Posted from my lovely comfy sofa, in the warmth of my own house, while under a duvet and with the missus bringing me food and drink as and when needed. >>

Come on Palace. I need more lols when watching MOTD.

Coming for you, we're coming for yoooooooooou, You Sloanie Bastards, we're coming for you!

Shane Long. Always knew he had it in him!

I will take 1-0 wins for the rest of the season, in all cup competitions. (Giving us an epic triple.)

Figures, I took Cahill out my dream team.

Can scores for Liverpool. Lovren at the heart... Of the celebration.

A good, typical cup game. Exeter were poor though, they should have capitalised on the fact the Warrington players could barely walk at the end. Portsmouth can now go into tomorrow's game aspiring to be Warrington Town.

True, though of course it is easier to drop through the bottom of a division than it is to go through the top of it. Not that Saints have had that problem for a few years...

Watching Warrington vs Exeter on the Beeb. Matt Oakley and Danny Butterfield are Exeter's centre backs. Random, can't say I've ever seen Oakley as a centre back.

He looks different at the weekends though.

Tortoises that look like Louis Van Gaal. http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2014/06/03/tortoises-that-look-like-louis-van-gaal/

To give Skatesmouth one positive, they have a better chance of winning in the FA Cup first round this season than we do.

Taking a leaf out of Liverpool's book? ;-)

I like Koeman's "Koemanisms", like "For the team", "That's football" and "Soushampton". He comes across as a likeable bloke. This is of course helped, in our eyes at least, by the good start - Saints fans may have viewed him differently if we were at the bottom of the table. A little bit of personality goes a long way too - something we didn't see much from Pochettino, but did in Adkins. Oh, I also like the way he delicately licks his lips before he answers a question, but that's a deep seated personal issue. Van Gaal comes across as strict, I've rarely seen him smile. Of course we view him differently to Koeman because he's not our manager. That's my view on things anyway. I'd love it if Koeman could finish higher than Van Gaal at the end of the season though.

My late grandparents used to live in Bognor Regis. FACT. It's completely irrelevant of course, but I'm bored and haven't posted on this thread for a while.

I heard he won the jackpot repeater on the fruity in there too.

I must say, the FM predictions are very similar to what I would pick. Not sure whether it takes into account team or player form though. I may be wrong.

Pessimist. ;-)

I reckon it started life as an all red shirt that some bloke got REALLY excited over...

Let's be creative with the red and white. Like Coventry were.

I saw that. One outstanding game and stiff competition means he probably won't win it though. Aguero will probably get it, though Sakho did score in every game.
