Treble still on then.

Bloody marvellous. Koeman brothers, Watson and the great Sammy Lee are bloody marvellous.

2nd place? I just wet the bed... first time this summer.

Another tough one to predict. Saints should win, but Swansea have started well. No idea what the score will be!

Seriously though, there needs to be a rendition of... Ronald, Ronald Ronald Ronald Ronald Ronald Ronald Koemam... Erwin, Erwin Erwin Erwin Erwin Erwin..Erwin Koeman... Ronald... Repeat until nose bleed

I was rather hoping on Saturday that after the 'Koeman give us a wave' chant, either Erwin would've stood up and waved or the Northam would have chanted to RK; ' not you ... Erwin'

And you have for years mate, I guess you must've broken your mirrors.

It would be nice to have both Rickie and Pelle. But, given a choice, I suspect Pelle will eventually edge it.

I think that's fair comment. That's why I said overall performance. I do think Krul knocked the stuffing out of him.

We have a chance to move together positively after a great win and someone divides the fans without even knowing if the fans who he insultingly calls bed wetters actually may have had a positive impact in holding the owner and Boardroom to account to support our great manager whilst old gits sat back and pontificated that all would be well and contributed nothing. I don't care anymore about the summer, I'm just enjoying continuing to support my great teams great manager. And if my Board and owner fail to back him I hope people are prepared to stand up and ask them why. Futures bright. Let's just get on with supporting our team and manager.

Yesterday was great. Forster is the rock we needed in goal. Toby looks a super addition. Loved the fact we have depth on the bench for tactical changes - I thought Wanyama and JWP introductions bolstered our midfield and added creativity and width to our game with JWPs distribution. Koeman has not only a Plan A, but a B and a C. Loved the addition of Gardos to effectively park the bus with a 6 man defence at the end. Pelle is coming good. Loved Spider-mans post match positivity and comments. Newcastle had nothing up front though and Pardew has not built a team. Only negative was Longs overall performance, but I'm putting that down to playing in an unfamiliar role and the fact that Krul nearly took his head off, he deserved a penalty. Koeman is a genius.

What a stupid post, you sound like Alex Salmond.

What a stupid post.

Krueger says it's been a dream summer!? I wish they'd keep him out of the media. I get that he's trying to be positive, but he's still fundamentally lost people's trust over the exodus debacle. A dream summer for me would've been keeping our existing manager and team together, possibly selling Shaw, buying a keeper and an impact man from midfield and kicking onwards towards Europe. Loss today and most doommongers will be firmly back in the nightmare summer camp.

Both. Still, fair play to Saints for exchanging them.

Still can't believe our team are dressed in cheap home made kit. It does look good as a design. But let's face it, the tight fit doesn't work very good on most fans! Still can't believe the club charged £50 for them though.

I agree. I love the debate, as Arry once said, it balances out over a season. Hate goal line technology, extra linesmen and this is just more unnecessary technology. This free kick spray is unnecessary too. Football is a human game, played by people. It should be the same game kids can play in the park or men play in the best stadiums in the world. Referees decision should be final.... And we should enjoy the injustices and debate. It's part of the game. It's what makes it the greatest game in the world.

Van Gaal.... you don't know what you're doing.

Henderson been ok for me Batman, but a few wayward passes.

...so far. Must have a good coach.

Hart has kept England in the game. Very dependable tonight.

It was a good goal... Welbeck, another nail in van Moyes coffin from the English media?

Imagine if England appointed Pottechino. I wonder if we'd be watching the same game.

I guess x2 attempts means 'chances'. Technically you're right.

Boring. If England loses this Hodgson needs to go in my opinion. Ineffective and uninspiring. (& he helped wreck our team this summer).
