Did he run out of viagra for them?

Put VvD in the starting line up. Give Man Utd a 'go' at him before his great move to the dark side.

Probably right. More like £50 for some top rate massage oil for Austin & a new pair of shin pads for Redmond.

Good shot from Hoj. Loris made the sort of save we'd like Forster to make. Ooh, and then another goal! Ok, 2-5 looks like an 'entertaining' game rather than a mauling (which it really is).

Forster actually came to the edge of the box to claim the ball from an on-rushing striker! The 6 yard box.

We can't even keep it from a short corner! I despair.

JWP ready to come on. For whom, I wonder?

Naive from Saints. No way we should be naive at this stage of the season. Sorry but, for the first time this season (from me), MoPe should go. Get someone in who can manage the players & inject some desire. Proper tactics might help, too.

Very poor at the moment. Keep giving the ball away. Then standing off them and letting them play however they want.

Already are. Lawro on BBC saying vultures are circling. Too many changes every game. Not just peripheral, but basic 'engine room' changes. Can't have consistency and positive team play like that.

http://firstrowsportes.net/soccer/tottenham-southampton-krk5872c0 Spanish commentary. Keeps me sane with them not going on about 'Arry Kayyne all the time.

How on earth was that not a goal?? FFS!! Bad play, then no luck either.

Hmm Spurs free kick just outside left edge of box. I fear... ... Yup - goal. And it's sodding Kane. Guess the headlines tonight! Poor marking from Romeu

Yep, saw that. Nice elbow to the neck/face.

So frustrating! We have the ball in their half - go backwards. Go wide. Ball up the line goes out. Grrr!

Something I've noticed from the first 6 minutes: When Spurs have the ball [in midfield] they know instinctively where their team mates are; When we have it, we spend 2-3 seconds looking to see where our team mates are. What on earth are we doing in training?? Er, that was close... again.

Forster punches a Spurs corner clear, but where Lloris punched his beyond the 18 yard box, Forster's landed just outside the 6 yard box. Oh Jeez, more dodgy defending/keeping. Spurs in attack here...

Long & Redmond using their speed to win an early free kick on the left. Cleared by keeper's punch. Saints in attack! wooh.

"We worked hard and dominated much of the game/1st half/2nd half." "We were unlucky not to get at least a point." "We showed our quality throughout and deserved a result."

Think we can manage a shock win today? Or is the squad spirit not there? Would be nice if the players could raise their game.

It bothers me that MP brings back in-form players from the bench (eg. Hojbjerg) but then drops other 'best option' players (eg. VvD, Gabbiadini). It's like he's determined not to start with/play his best 11 at any time. Shouldn't you pick your best team all the time?

What was the scuffle about?

No.

I feel Austin should have at least scored with his parting shot there.

He's playing?
