******* fantastic goal!!!!!!!!!!

Can't believe MP has waited 80 minutes to take Puncheon off. He's been utter garbage today.

Puncheon is having a mare today.

YESSSSS! Lambert you beauty!!!!!

Looks like Wigan are going to park the bus and protect their lead. Doesn't bode well for us because we always seem to struggle when teams do that.

It's frustrating isn't it. Wigan have been really poor but we just haven't turned up. If we can put in a 2nd half performance like we did in midweek we will surely win it because they are there for the taking if only we had that little bit of quality that has been completely absent so far.

For f***'s sake! All that pressure in the last 5-10 minutes and then go and nearly concede another but for some last-ditch defending. MUST do better in the 2nd half. Get Punch and Ramirez off for Davis and Lallana - they have both been utter gash so far. No creativity up front - no quality in the balls into the box and far too often just running into trouble before releasing the ball.

Ooooh. so close!

We're just not causing them anywhere near enough problems so far. Ramirez looks nothing like a £12m player at the moment and out other forward players seem to want to be able to walk the ball into the net.

Yoshida lost him completely there

Gonna have to do it the hard way now. Good finish from Caldwell though.

FFS still trying to walk it in!

Phew

Miss of the century from Ramirez!

Feck me what a save from Boruc!

Good positive start from Saints

Pure genius this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH3y6l7gKZU

Well it isn't often you see Man Utd hanging on for dear life at the end, but then I don't think there was ever any danger of us getting an equaliser for all our efforts. A team like Utd will mop up those diagonal balls all day long and for all our possession in their half, we didn't really create anything like a decent chance for the entire game (dodgy backpass in the 2nd minute excepted)

Reading 0-2 down now

This is incredible. Totally different side from the one that finished the first half. MAKE IT COUNT!

Brilliantly won back by Spiderman there!

Much more positive start to the 2nd half. Looking more dangerous than we did at any point in the first 45 anyway.

Would need to be bloody good fortune. Our deliveries into the box tonight have been appalling so far. No quality whatsoever.

Rooney totally unmarked there. Schoolboy defending. Very poor.

Yeah I remember that well... I went to that game. 'Arry was apparently under pressure from Lowe to pick some of the lads coming through from the youth team, so he deliberately picked a weak squad of youth-team players and reserve seniors (Neil McCann amongst others) so when they inevitably lost he could prove a point to Rupert. It still to this day boils my blood to think that this chancer was ever given the Saints job in the first place, and more so when I think about the disgraceful way he conducted himself during his tenure.
