Have to say I am gutted still that the Itchen Northam corner has been emptied. It was for sometime the best place in the ground - it had a decent view of the game, great interaction with the away fans and also with the Northam. It was as if we hemmed in the away support and blew it away! Hope we get the Itchen North back soon... keep coming everyone!

Was this the biggest crowd in recent years for a boxing day match at SMS? Also... what was Leeds crowd?... or were they away?

Pressure to win instead of mediocrity... my how things have changed at our Club Professor.

I'll be happy with mid-table given the crap hand dealt to Pardew by his predecessors. But, I can see a play-off place at the moment I really can! Bring on the 3-1 victories!!!

Nearly 31000... oh I love the loss of Mr Lowe and his plc. Moving onwards and upwards... chuffed to bits to see so many... we'll pack Wembley at the JPT final!!!!

...or maybe I was right about James afterall?

3-1 is obvious! James playing so well is not. Nice to see both, I look forward to eating my words on Lloyd James if he wishes to continue to step forward and prove me wrong!!

Kids and Wotte/JP. Fact.

I agree he can cross a ball, but the rest of his play puts him (and us) at a disadvantage.

If we play James we will be weaker, but not lose.

Goody!!! Happy Christmas everyone! I guess most of the funds will be used to secure players on loan?

LOL! Ironic isn't it? We win, but we promote to a higher league as a result and lose a little more, until we win again etc etc. But, staying in League 1 forever.... god please no.

errr... Premiership quality over this anytime please.

Blimey, not as if Leeds is packed out every week at Elland Road is it?

Shudders! Didnt need reminding of that game!!

Happy - another win, ground out but who cares... we have a team of winners again.

Pardew = results = praise. Quite right!

To be fair, WGS lost almost all of his first 10 or so games at Saints!

Thats the problem with BT... sadly thinks he's better than he is.

3-1 for a change.

Keep winning and make the play-offs... SMS will be packed!

I agree. Already suggested this... It should be called 'Southampton FC, The Low(e) Years'

'You just felt Southampton had a couple of extra gears if they needed them' Nice
