But it was exciting wasn´t it....

Actually we´ve only have had that in two of our games this year. Embarassing? Nope I am never embarrassed being a supporter of Southampton FC but from the look of it you might feel that way? I´m not at all concerned about the start of this season, 5-7 points from the first four games looked like the most predictable outcome. And yes I still think we perform/play a lot better now than we were doing under Adkins in PL, the best proof is probably just looking at how teams set up these days when they come to St Marys.

You might be missing the date of my posts about that? It was back in march, about 6 months ago..... Tip of the day: Search for "MYTH" and you will find the thread.

Yep it´s strange that United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and all top teams in every league wins that stat when it´s so obvious a better plan to have fewer shots than your opponent repeatedly....... Yeeez, the top teams in all leagues in Europe dont have a clue.....why do they even bother to shoot if they miss the target or dont score.....they should know that put it in the net or dont bother is the way of winning this game....

I dont think it was any big difference to our games against them last year so dont really see the difference....

Oh what a comeback kiddo.....please try harder.

So you still haven´t learn the difference between "performances" and "results".....oh well maybe you learn in 2-3 years, surely they must learn you that in 4th grade??

Rule 1 for Wum´s. When you dont have an answer to a question you get, answer with a question.

Yep, you think West Ham out-performed us?

Like when he scored last year against......West Ham?

A fun reflection over this forum is that the ones saying people are deluded to think we can be top 8 are the ones that complains the most when we fail to win games like this.. If you expect us to finish 10th-14th´ish then the result today were quite expected for you?

Me too but as fans we cant really be fined and suspended (unless we break some laws of course)

I predict Di Canio to be fined and suspended for his talks with referee and media after this game....

Moyes have always talked about his disliking in diving players like Suarez......how does it feel to have Ashley Young in your starting XI then...?

So you want to use him how, I´ve asked you 3-4 times before....as the impact sub? 1 goals as a sub in 9 yrs in competitive games...

Well looking at Cropper in the last U21 games I´m far from sure about that. He hasn´t looked any good at all IMO.

Thought so, cheers for the great link. And if you compare with West Hams long passes against Stoke everyonoe can see that they put most of those straight forward, more of hoof and hoop... http://www.fourfourtwo.com/statszone/8-2013/matches/694929/team-stats/21/1_PASS_12#tabs-wrapper-anchor And against Newcastle. http://www.fourfourtwo.com/statszone/8-2013/matches/694917/team-stats/21/1_PASS_12#tabs-wrapper-anchor

Would make perfect sense as long as he can be recalled in case a injury to Boruc or Davis occur. Copper is the one that U21 will use for obvious reason so for him to get games this makes sense.

And what is in fact a "long ball" in statistical terms? Passes over 20 yards? We often have for example the right side CB playing the ball to the left back and the other way around, passes for about 25-30 yards. Are those a long ball in the stats?

No Carroll, no 50 extra long balls/game.

I agree that Fonte hasn´t done anything wrong this year, but that doesn´t mean that you should be looking for an upgrade if you can find it....??

You´re better on those long written posts David...

Papis-s Cisse often get the question Aruba.....he usually gets angry and answer Tchad up, but it can happen that he just answer Yemen when he´s fed up.....

Oman there are some bad jokes here...
