Obviously I am just speculating, as clearly I have no actual insight into what he said or why. But my hunch would be that, he had planned to be full of praise, but such a sloppy goal, at the end of one of the best halves of football I have seen from a Southampton team risked letting a team back into a match they frankly had no right to still be in. That performance 1st half (goal aside) was stunning. We should have been well clear. Letting in a late goal like that will also completely change Rodgers team talk, effectively saying "look, we have been dominated, but we are still in this blah blah etc.".

As with most things in life, it's about balance. I too was a fan of Adkins calm, in control demeanour, and I certainly think this is the best face for the outside world. However, I think there is a time and place for use of 'the hairdryer'. No doubt the charming 110% will be along to tell me that by praising him I want to perform sexual acts on him, but, if it is good enough for Fergie, then it must be good enough for us.

Wigan villa last day. still think that helps us. they can't both win and be safe.

can hear the song already "2 Rickie Lambert's, there's only 2 Rickie Lamberts!"

I had doubts, he's made me look silly. good lad. sign him up.

the formation was his preferred 4-2-3-1, but it was very fluid. Rickie would drop and jrod run on ahead, and vice versa. backed by full backs pushing, allowing Gaston and Adam to get in and around the box too. Morgan played quite high too, he just seems to be everywhere!

think you've got it here pal. I said a while back I think the language thing is played up to give him some breathing space with regards the media. I know it irks some fans, but personally I'm happy to go about our business quietly. he can get his message across to the players, as could be suggested from the Everton game when he was talking to Rickie on the touchline. really, that's the most important thing. well, in my opinion at least.

....should admit, I did have a bit of a flap when it went 2-1.

didnt expect a good day for us today, probably would have been happy with a point. class performance, fully deserved win. jrod motm for me. love it when the flappers are wrong

that was class chasing from clyne.

jrod motm for me.

J-Rod has heard me backing him all season! Gwarn lad!

this iswifter is an absolute touch. cheers chaps.

impressed with jrod again today. has to be amongst our best players in 2013.

watching saints should come with a health warning. not for those with heart problems. it's doing mine an absolute mischief.

hate to admit it, but I'm inclined to agree. saints are so frustrating. can look so good, but then have to throw in some comedy defending. let's just hope (/pray) it's more city than utd! please saints, let's f'ing have this.

eurgh, not feeling great now. got the story of the season written all over it.

yes artur! please hold on til ht

that's class from jrod, so unlucky.

Fonte you bad man!

Rickie!!!!

looking class. please keep this up and make it count. Dowd doesn't seem to like Rickie.

FFS, Rickie touches Skrtel = free-kick. Skrtel uses Rickie as a ladder, nothing. ****ing refs.

yup, but still rather be one up than one down!
