This is a game that Ramires should be at least on the bench. When he came on following an obdurate backs-to-the wall West ham, earlier in the season and we were heading for defeat, his creativity unlocked their defence and we equalised. Another draw 1-1 unless our strikers hit form.

Fosbury concedes Fellani's flop is better.

Awesome Saints team performance. My motm has to be Boruc -if only because MOTD only showed Manure's moves and Arturs' saves. Allan Shearers analysis did the team proud and partially made up for a very biased BBC coverage of the game.

Yep. The media are rushing in with their articles praising us before they expect Saints run to end. Long may we continue to succeed.

Why can't there be a first half league and a second half league? (But wouldn't we be near the relegation zone on first half performances?)

It was 3-2 last year and since Saints have a better defence while Manure are out of sorts, but wounded. So beware fellers. Less goals today but who can force the advantage? I reckon a gritty 1-1.

Well that's Artur's international career over then. His only route to honours is with the mighty Saints.

Perhaps manure are doing badly because Welbeck is not being picked to play.

But didn't Fox play last year at OT? And weren't we the best team to play there? But I agree, Shaw at his best and also Clyne at his best would do much to neutralise MU's threats down the wing.

They would do better if they created a proper real ale to serve in the concourses supermarkets and offlicences to replace the insipid Saints 'beer' which does the name of the club no good. It could be called Real Saints Ale

lol but if Boruc should be sent off for 'behaving unsportingly' would he be banned for Premiership games?

0-0, 90th penalty to Poland. Artur Boruc steps up........

They were blatantly filming all Saints supporters at Palace a few years ago as we filed along the back of the stadium to the entrance gates. No idea why.

The last time he came on to the pitch late in the second half our game improved and we turned a likely defeat into a draw. Perhaps he is very good for short periods.

I do remember that when we were previously in the Prem, and I didn't have a season ticket then, it was often difficult to get tickets as games sold out quickly. How do attendances compare between now and then?

Excellent. It would also make an interesting story to accompany this with the soap story of all the shenanigans of our decline from Premiership to administration. It couldn't have been made up. One for the historians?

Couldn't agree more. The club couldn't care les. They have our money, and they have TV revenues as well. Double wammy for the club and fa for the ST holders who can't make re-arranged times.

Doesn't the same apply to our internationals facing a top PL team?

His assist for JayRod's goal was intended to go somewhere else then?

Nothing new then to adapt. How come we won an award for singing that?

I can't remember the Marion Pahars song. How was it? Is it worth adapting?

The next match is the big one! Saints were the best team to play at Old Trafford, said Ferguson, but we didn't win. Since then we have successfully strengthened both defence and attack and are on our best run for years. We have a healthy goal difference and our main strikers are scoring again. Manure have stuttered since Moyes took over, but they have a new strike star in Janusaj. How do the two teams compare now? Bring it on!

That interestingly was also the opinion of a couple of Arsenal fans I was chatting to at a bus stop near Waterloo last year.

No, after any one game it is a matter of extreme importance and meaning, not to mention if only...

Except we were equal first on points after the first game.
