Was right in front of me and was a certain penalty, Calderon (I think) caught him.

He was atrocious again, like that Leeds game 2 season ago. Gave 2 penalties but we should have had another 2 at least. Premier League standard? Blimey, I feel sorry for Premier League teams.

"You're a c*nt" and repeat....

In the words of Comic Book guy in Simpsons..."Worst ref performance...ever!." If he's anything like that game, teamed with Brighton's time-wasting and card-waving antics, the result could be affected. Then again, you can't get any worse then that Leeds game and we haven't relied on refs so far...here's hoping we stroll home without any influence from Walton or Poyet.

Apologies if already mentioned: Lithuanian Bank Snoras in admin, majority shareholder Vladimir Antonov. http://www.zolfocooper.com/publications/europe-media-statement-regarding-ab-bankas-snoras LOL.

Vicente's out according to their boards. A bonus I suppose, though he is over-rated. They made out they'd signed Messi when he joined. Used to be awesome about 5/6 years ago but injuries have put him past his best. Though last season when they had a few injuries, they then parked the proverbial bus at St Mary's. Hopefully they actually have a go because we seem to prefer playing in open games.

Booo Cortese out

I wear the shirt every game. So yes, I suppose I am a happy clappy, Cortese and team loving fan. So shoot me.

One of them calls us 'Stains' like Pompey do. I despair.

Difficult to predict how we'll line-up at the moment with the rotation policy and the game being just under 2 weeks away but I reckon Cork & Hammond will start CM, Schneiderlin on the bench. Otherwise unchanged.

The perfectionist manager who makes perfect decisions. The team spirit. Rickie Lambert, Guly Do Prado, Adam Lallana, everyone else...

Another sh*te club with no fans. My local park game probably has more atmosphere than the Ricoh.

I feel sorry for the person who goes to Football with you, if any.

I was very concerned, but we've come through STILL top! Complacency into what is meant to be an 'easier' month in November would be dangerous - Peterborough could shock us, but I'm confident.

Wasn't there tonight but I think he needs someone to play off i.e Lambert/Guly like at Swindon. Very clumsy player though, kinda like Darren Bent without the goals.

Freedman said Palace may start a few of their key players that they've rested in previous rounds, so their line-up should be fairly similar to ours.

Nige said on Saturday that De Ridder and Aaron Martin would start tomorrow too I think, and that Ben Reeves will be involved again.

I hope this isn't a reaction to one poor performance.

Should have scored with that header tbh but did well. Both teams defended solidly, the problem for us was in midfield - kept losing possession.

Not sure how much Maynard would cost with only 6 months to go but if City still want something around £4m/£5m then I wouldn't bother. Simeon Jackson would be a good buy IMO, although I'm not sure if he'd want to leave Norwich as he's on the brink of the team right now.

Please win Saints, please. Will never hear the end of it if they get the result. Can't wait. Lallana back in for Chaplow and I'm confident. Laughable comments on their forum about us, it's so bitter. They're a sh*t club with sh*t fans, always have been etc...

It's the referee's fault - nothing to do with their discipline!
