No law of course. Unfortunately we have to put up with the refs using their judgement and discretion in those sort of incidents. For me it was a clear second yellow, but the ref was a bottle job. Fuck knows what was going through his head for the dive though. Shambolic.

I reckon the second foul was too early in the game and ref didn't want to give the red so soon. But the dive is just completely indefensible.

ITK?

What do you think chances are, percentage wise?

Easy for you to say.

Delgado whoahh oh oh, Delgado whoahh oh oh, he comes from Ecuador, he's gonna score and score.......

Is it still kids for £1 or is just £12 a ticket for everyone now? I can't seem to get any other options than adult ticket for £12 on the ticket website.

When asked if he wanted to press charges, the horse simply replied "neigh".

Is Ake really their biggest set piece threat at 180cm / 5ft 11? Poor from Romeu on that one and set the tone for the evening.

Niemi surely?

He sounds SWEET.

Can't afford to give the ball away so easily so many times against very good teams. Oh well onto Wednesday for the next easy game.

Wife, daughter? I'm sure there's a skate joke there somewhere.....

Let's hope AL didn't leave his bike parked outside Anfield during his medical! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-28078457

Maybe AL's agent should have been a bit cleverer when negotiating his last contract and insisted on a release clause of say £20m if a Top 4 side came in for him? Unless of course his agent never thought he'd turn out to be quite so good and just snapped our hands off when we offered him a bloody great pay rise!

As it says on the tin. Anyone know of any that will be showing the game today? Cheers Karl

Re the Hokey Cokey chant. Could we not sing 'Southampton's number 1' at the end instead of 'Rah, Rah,Rah'? For the pedants I realise his squad number is 31, but I think we all know he really is our no. 1 ability wise.

Does anyone recall that interview Nige did soon after last season ended, when he seemed to hint that he didn't expect to be around for the long(er) term? I wonder if he always knew Cortese's plan was to bring in a 'sexier' name?

Does anyone know what the 'restricted view' is like at Villa, as I've ended up with thse tickets?

Great point and great performance. Can't really have any moans after that. It's refreshing to have someone capable of taking decent corners, lots of pace and whip on them and into dangerous areas. Gotta feel sorry for Guly, he looked absolutely gutted when he went off.

Mate of mine spoke to AL in a boozer in Christchurch, he said he expects to be out for 2 months. Certainly better than season ending, but still a lot of games to miss.
