After watching the Leicester game and how they destroyed a ten man Magpies we really do need to get our act together for this one. Is Ralph learning anything from his losing selections? If Denso and Valery are fit, there's your left and right. Keep Vestergaard on the bench and put Yoshie and Bednarek in the middle of those two and Armstrong instead of JWP. Chelsea, like Spurs, are there for the taking and it's about time we have a home win.

Keep JWP and Adams on the bench and play Armstrong and Ings for the first hour. Yoshi for Vestergaard and we have the makings of an attacking front line supported by a strong midfield. All the defence has to do is defend and not faff about trying the fancy stuff. Looking forward to the match. COYS.

Your latest on Saints v Cherries is,as usual Glen,spot on. None of us could quite understand Ralph's logic. We gave the game to them with little effort on our part. JWP continues to be frustratingly inconsistent. Put your effing laces through the ball Nipper. It's what boots are for. Tomorrow will be the win of the season for most of us with long memories. This really is the South Coast Derby!!!

Its hard to believe that when we win tonight we go up to third. COYS.

For the next few games he should come on at around the hour mark. Let him build up his confidence because at the moment he needs a bit of a boost. The quality is there and his speed is excellent. Just give the lad a chance because it's a big leap from Championship to Prem. One tip for what it's worth is Don't get provoked by the professional fouls from the more cynical well practiced defenders.

Hey! I'm not superstitious but happy with 13th today. Roll on next week for the Blades and Billy Sharp.

Northam were on good voice today with "We're coming for you..... You dirty Skate ....... We're coming for you. Needless to say the Mancs didn't have a clue!!!

Ings at least wins the ball in the air as was shown again today but where was his support? He challenged almost every possible header and on this performance he was an improvement from previous games. MOTM for me was Romeu he was outstanding once he got his second wind.

Watched it with my Grandson and we enjoyed the determination of our defenders. I'm a little disappointed in Adams though. Perhaps he would be better as and early sub. Yet again Young got away with his tackles but the Yellow he received was well deserved. Rashfords 'corner' was not! All in all well done to all. Once Saints scored the Mancs went silent. Arrogant s.h.i.t.s

We almost went there too. Feel so sad for those fans. The Football ASSOCIATION exists in name only.They could have intervened.Shame on them.

Three points is three points and the way Palace have stifled United is promising for us. Ralph however really needs to kick a couple of them up the a.r.s.e because that wasn't very nice to watch at all.

Serious bollicking in progress. Watch the difference in this second half.

I think that Shearer could at least make some form of positive contribution to this biased panel of 'experts' but Scouser Murphy appears to get his points across yet Linekar fails to initiate any discussion on Saints. How could they not mention the absolute bias of Mariner? The monied class rules OK?

As with so many times in the past WG the 12th man syndrome continues. Yet again Milner got away with it.

Haven't changed my opinion from before the game.Liverpool are not too safe at the back and our new pace can exploit it but typical of Saints we didn't capitalise. Throw the effing ball down the line please not into the defence because we got caught yet again. Ralph has his work cut out with this squad but they can play better and next Saturday they just have to.

Thug Milner gets away with it yet again. I'd like to see someone really clatter him and the Ref wave play on. We can get back into this. COYS

Freudian slip WG? I know lots of people who 'earn' their wages but I also know many many more who don't and yet receive quite large salaries.

Some years ago a perfectly maintained jet was flying a golfer to his next tournament.Page Steward and the rest of the people onboard all died from asphyxiation due to lack of oxygen.The plane continued to fly on automatic pilot until the fuel ran out.Strange things these aeroplanes.

Who told you that?

Id sooner have VAR over Kevin friend any day.

I'll be happy with a draw. We have the pace if it is applied properly and to be honest I wasn't too impressed with Liverpool against Norwich on Friday night. It won't be easy but at least we don't have to put up with the biased 12th man now.With Hojberg and Yoshi in on Saturday and 110% effort we can gain our first point. Liverpool are not invincible.

Do t think I'll be recording MOTD tonight. At least we are not bottom of the table , yet!!!

Ah! Well my winning prediction is shot to hell. What's the excuse this time Ralph? Season after season our hopes are shattered by absolutely disgraceful performances by many of our players.

Well why didn't Saints use it then?

Game over. We just ain't with it here.
