Wtf was that hand ball. Lol

Begs the question, does Targett just have a ‘mare against us or is it a common occurrence?

That free kick was absolutely gorgeous by JWP. Perfectly struck. Commentators pretty blasé about it, had it been Grealish or Barkley they’d have jizzed themselves.

Next week, can a mod lock the build up so I don’t get stranded again? I know, I should have kept checking for a match thread but I’m still having my first coffee.

Thanks Trousers. Was like Billy no mates posting in the build up. *clears throat* Gooaaaaaaalllll!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

In JWP range...

Villa players love to go to ground and embellish. Last week they waxed lyrical about Everton and saw what a cynical dirty team they are. Flavour of the week is now diving Villa...

Guess they don’t blow up for head injuries anymore, they wait for a Grealish embellishment instead...

That’s a vestergoaaaaaal! Gerrin!

They had the lines all drawn, Che was on (did he even touch it?) then they moved the red line closer to the goal and said offside but the line was level with his forearm. Nonsense.

We have to be a bit more careful about that first ball out from the back, they are reading it and pouncing on it.

Was a foul but a massive dive gets JWP a yellow.

That’s what I thought too.

They drew a line from the defending foot and Che’s armpit and he was on, but then kept moving it. Weird.

What? The lines showed him on. Didn't look like he touched it anyway.

Own goal, checking for offside, he’s (Adams) clearly on.

Vestergoaaaaaal!!!

Woah, it’s early. We put our clocks back last night so not too bad. I feel for Vancouver Saint and Edmonton Saint. Come on you Saints!!!

So are we really happy with today’s results or not? We stay well clear of the strugglers but lose ground on the 3 of the big six teams. If that’s not an MLG klaxon I don’t know what is...

Absolutely. Don’t remember commentators carping on about us smashing Sunderland 8-0 either. We’re an easy target for lazy pundits. Gordon Strachan highlighted it perfectly when he said, “oh right, we’re called Southampton, could have sworn we were called struggling Southampton when I first came here”.

In any case, Everton can complain as much as they like. If anything we lost a bit of our swagger after the incident. We were head and shoulders better than them leading up to the incident and they offered nothing before or after the incident.

That’s absolutely superb. We lost the next league game after Leicester, to Man City, and threw away a few leads too in that time. Shows more and more how freak that was, but the media just continue to beat us with it. It’s like that joke. I built all the bridges in this town, do the call me OttawaSaint the bridge builder? No. I paved all the roads here too, do they call me OttawaSaint the road paver? No. But you shag one sheep...

So a year ago we lost that 0-9 and have had to hear about it ad nauseam for a year. In that year, we must have probably the 6th or 7th best record in the EPL. Has anyone done the calculation? We can’t be too far off top 6 form for a whole year.

My FPL is a mess this week. 24 pts so far. Bamford stranded on the bench.
