Very good prospect - I hope he gets lots more games this season and shows what he can do.

Winnable and a chance to deal with Brown.

How anyone can think Redknapp is a good manager after what he did to us is beyond me.

Brighton at home

Well done Saints. Maybe this is oru year? Another home draw would be nice.

Guly! Let's hope he does something - we know he can.

This - I am with Matt on this.

This sounds good to me - I think that Katharina may turn out to be just what we want. Up the Saints! The future is bright ...

This is really bad news - Lovren is vital to the defence.

History is not written by the losers but by the victors!

Please not Fox!

Cork was excellent.

It was clearly a foul - end of story.

Very poor referee in terms of stopping dangerous tackles by Sunderland. The tackle on Ramirez by Brown was shocking and could have ended the player's career.

We should have beaten them today - and we should have beaten them at St Mary's last August - that is 4 points we should have had. We played some lovely football but the result is very disappointing. We can but hope that the injuries won't turn out to be as bad as they look.

Very disappointing result.

Matt le Tissier versus N Cortese - no contest for any Saints fan with long-term memory.

I find the original post very helpful and worthwhile - this story provides considerable insight and confirms other stories that I have heard. Katharina is wresting control back and now that NC has gone KL will hopefully reassert some decent values and steer Saints in the right direction. I expect great things under her new regime.

What does one say about Nicola 'marmite man' Cortese - you either love him or loathe him. I am in the middle - I respect much of what eh did, but I think he showed considerable discourtesy to many people, picked silly fights with various people and the press, and was horrible in his treatment of Nigel Adkins given what he had done for the club. It is odd how what people hand out to others sometimes comes back to affect them too. What goes around comes around. Goodbye Nicola Cortese - much more than a footnote in the everlasting story of Southampton Football Club.

Hopefully a second clean sheet in a row - 2 - 0 to us.

Nicola played his hand badly.

A win for Saints.

Cork is a very valuable member of our squad - some of his passing is exquisite.

Selling Shaw would be madness - he is a top-quality player and only likely to get better.

We need to win this one.
