2-0 is always a very insecure lead. Another early goal for Saints should do it.

We need another goal just to kill them off.

If football was that easy to predict. Aside from the fact is BMF, we need 3 points to be top of the 'best of the rest' league and avoid being sucked into the mid table mire.

Yes but the manager is straight out my book. Says it is important to get to 40 points first and then see if we can do something from there onwards. I totally agree, clubs like us and Leicester, it is all about reaching 40 points and anything else is a bonus.

Not really. I can't see us dropping down three divisions.

Don't underestimate Bournemouth, they gave Liverpool a good game. Play high tempo and nothing to lose.

4 minutes et...where did that come from ?

Hey, whats happened to my avatar ?

3 mins left...gulp !

Dear oh dear, we were lucky there.

Goalll !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who are we likely to get in the next round ?

I think Hoddle is a superb manager, should see us progress in the Cup and League.

Ramirez had a decent game

Saints living dangerously

Very pedestrian from both sides.

never offside !

I wouldn't be so sure. 38 points is not completely clear of relegation !

Good to hear that RK is rotating the squad as I was hoping. Not only does it give some of the other players a chance to prove themselves in a competitive game, it keeps our 'first teamers' fresh for the next league game.

Surely post of the week.

Looks good but I would put Gazzaniga in for Stak and put Caulker in for VVD, Yoshida in for Fonte and find an alternative for Bertrand.

I doubt that. They will be much more focused on the EPL. Let's see what team they put out.

Wrong, a lot of people would not be that bothered if it helped us win the next EPL game.

We could always use Gaston in the Cup games. If he does well in the Cup games we could at least use him in the EPL games as a sub.

But with no back up, we cannot afford Stek to get injured. I imagine Villa will not be up for this game and a defeat for us is not the end of the world.
