Danny Ings is proving to be costly.

I think the cross was missing too. Am I right it needed a touch before going in?

Spurs again so we can prove it was not a fluke

Officials in black! They will soon have a mic on them so they can become celebrities.

I always think Glenn Hoddle, he used to have them right up his crack!

What in the past do you miss most in the modern game today? Going to get you started on ‘honesty.’ It seems so many players want to cheat at every opportunity and it seems officials are going that way too. Discuss, as we have a boring two week break coming up.

Today?

I wonder what the calculations are on Saints fans not giving a ****e?

How does Delph, Barkley, Loftus-Cheek and Henderson get in when they don’t even feature that much for their EPL team? Thought Southgate was doing okay but that England squad is crazy.

Exactly that and this is why Saints players have to leave if you want to play for the national team.

If I was a business then I too would focus more on the majority. Until we build a bigger stadium and start winning games in Europe then it’s not going to change.

Our centre defence is shocking and I reckon we need two defenders for sure.

Same team as the one that started vs UTD and Spurs but swap Ings for Austin. We must attack Brighton hard and don’t sit back plus someone needs to nail Murray as he is an arsel against us. Sims off the bench around 60 minutes should wrap up the 3 points.

I like this. Get yourself two decent centre backs and two good attacking players then we can certainly push further up the league.

Oops I voted Austin instead of JWP by mistake. Who the feck did give him the other vote?

The same could be said about Bertrand but he certainly gave his best vs UTD. IMHO Lemina and Bertrand have been carrying knocks for a while and at times are forced to play.

The highest paid director, assumed, though unconfirmed, to be chairman Ralph Krueger, had a £30,000 pay rise to earn £636,000. So we reward a £30,000 bonus for a disastrous season?

Btw is he French or English?

Shane Long for me with Ryan Bertrand a close second.

We have Jack Stephens for that role when required.

I meant Luke Shaw. Im not surprised you are laughing as I would too.

This guy is getting better and better each game, taking on players, step overs and acceraration is improving each time. Will he be in high demand at the end of the season? I’m pretty sure the top 6 have got an eye on him as he is starting to show the same kind of talent that Gareth Bale did when we had him.

The thought of us trying to sell Austin on the last day of the transfer deadline day is laughable. No way would we of got a replacement in.

If he wants the wing backs to become wingers then why don’t we put natural wingers in that position? Redmond and Sims would offer more going forward with Austin getting on the end of the crosses. Bertrand, Valery, Vestergaard and Yoshi would be good enough as defenders.

The bit I dont get is the players are doing double training and are much much fitter now but they seem to be going backwards. Okay we don’t have any decent strikers that are fit but you would think Armstrong, Moi and Austin would be sharper and stronger than under Hughes.
