Saves you having to polish a turd for once pal.

Cokehead scored. Good lad.

We've been good value all game.

Edit

Another favourite forum myth.

What happens if Puel plays that team out of position, pal?

We have some bright sparks in the paper and printer cartridge business who were born for this role.

Preconceived notions? Coming from the poster who claimed that Cedric had only one bad game last season

Remember how he was meant to kick on and seamlessly carry his euro performances into the new season (obviously not the howler against Poland)? Cedric has shown potential while he has been at the club; but on the whole his performances have not matched the hype. The start of the this season has been a similar story. When all else fails we're told he has a brighter future. Martina played last season because he was in good form - not because he was a Koeman favourite, part of some Dutch clique dreamed up by the hipsters on here.

Vectis Saint can't be happy with the praise Martina's getting. He has a thing for Cedric.

You have a very loose definition of a left winger. First he was rotating alot of Tadic down the middle as Puel 's system encourages; second and I watched closely, he never split wider than than the edge of the 18 yard box. In other words, he was pretty tucked in.

Tadic's penalties have never inspired much confidence - little side footed dinkers down the middle.

So they will be putting on buses then?

Also looking for two spares for Wham.

It was a real low point, wasn't it pal. It's the kind of division you could see festering and spreading if results weren't going our way. Something to monitor closely.

There was no real change from how we've played in previous games. The formation, team selection and rotation up top was quite similar to the Sunderland game.

And we're playing the diamond.

Setting things up early I see. Just think if we contrive to lose, eh. We'll have this post to remind us just how bad the result is. #marinateandstir

The9 on top form as usual I see

Peter Druurrrrryyyyy

You can't say this. It doesn't fit with mboard received wisdom. Only divs who support the premier league and bought into the CL hype are meant to lose interest, not genuine southampton fans.

Yep, me too, anyone who claims they were at the match and saw the incident is talking absolute boll*cks. By the same token our goal was bit of a blur too.

Not sure about that. Austin feeds off rebounds and scraps. Whatever he lacks in physical quickness he makes up for in mental alertness. He would have definitely gambled on the Hojbjerg shot.

What? That Giroud was backing into Fonte and had his arm around Fonte's neck, throwing him off-balance. Howard Webb, part of the referee's union, said it was a poor decision.
