Subtext: "But despite their (Saints) brilliant football, my Spurs were even better than that and won... what a really great manager I am!" Oh come on, what do you take us for?

Insight is not your strongest suit is it? I'd back Adam Lallana's opinion over yours any day of the week and probably on most things not just Rodriguez. This is the PL by the way of reminder since your fruit bowl appears to be jumbled up!

Speculative nonsense designed to make you all feel good. What matters is what takes place on the field on Sunday. The world is full of What-Ifs but facts are in the future and remain unpredictable except in hindsight. If we can't stay up by our own efforts then what's the point? What kind of team and fans settle for being less worse than their rivals?

So what exactly are you proposing that fans do to help out materially, brick up our goal against Stoke? I'm brave, very, very brave but how does that help Saints.

Nigel's getting things moving nicely at the Madjeski, great win today and if you're reading this Nigel... Nice One!

But relegation is decided on the pitch not in a bookies office so none of what you say matters a jot, if we don't get 3 more points were toast.

How long have you been supporting Saints?

or maybe two Argentians? Tevez, Aguero, Zabeleta? Not I hope Gutiérrez & Coloccini

Spurs 4 Saints 0 Sunderland 1 Saints 0 Saints 0 Stoke 2 Abuse to Flat 3 Highwood Terrace, Bassett....

This from a website that can't even get our kit right? Do me a favour! Artur & Jos came from Celtic, Davies from Rangers.... Champions League material... I think not.

The more income that can be generated from the stadium the better but is there enough of a rugby tradition in this area to support it?

Don't bother, we're better off without you.

Because people don't see things your way doesn't make them trolls SS and if lots of folk don't see things your way time for you to think about whether you've missed the point. You don't seem to offer any insight in your post just criticism of others. How does that help?

Pochettino and his coaches must take much of the blame for not reading the game, choking off the threats and changing tactics to counter WBA's. It's all very well blaming the players for everything but it was clear early on that WBA were getting on top by playing fast through balls along the ground and over the top and that they were super fit and had pace. Our composure and morale dropped after that stupid first goal and mistakes crept in everywhere. One of the problems seems to have been all the hype amongst the players before the match about how "we owed 'em one" "we're out to show them how good we've become since last time" etc. Once they believed that their mindset couldn't cope with the reality of a WBA side who were real class and on their game and frankly a far better side than Saints. As always we should follow the mantra, "Never underestimate the opposition". Obviously we did and as a result didn't bother to do our homework and preparation properly. You don't win matches by talking crap about how good you are day-after-day, you study how the opposition play and make sure you can deal with it as well as practising playing your own game for the periods when you are on top. This is down to Mr Pochettino and his pals as well, who seemed to me to sit on their arses in a grey suited row for far too long chatting a lot but not actually doing anything. One would guess that the first notch has been etched on Nicola Cortese's shot-gun. Plenty of manager's around after all!!! We haven't suddenly become a bad team but when things go wrong it usually takes a while to lift players and get the machine working properly again. If we get turned over next week by Spurs we could end the season on a real low; maybe getting only one more point at home to Stoke. It could still be close but luckily it is unlikely that all the teams below us will suddenly click and win everything. At least we have the points and they don't, playing catch-up at this stage of the season is never easy. I'm sure we will stay up but in the usual Saints way

Nah, stop being a misery!

Bugger me, I didn't know we have plans to expand to 200,000

Are you for real? Do you ever read this forum? Wonder why you're the first to think about it... LOL!

Do me a faver guv!

One of the easiest scoreline predictions of the season with two teams playing similar style football at about the same tempo. Not sure what went wrong today 'though as we never offered a goal threat all afternoon.

Nothing wrong with our Swiss kit for another season. I like it and stripes look outmoded and the strip of choice by goofball football clubs heading for the trap door. No association with failure for me.

As the title says... Pointless

Best to ignore idiots in the press rather than fall into the trap of legitimising their waffle by discussing it

No criticism please chaps, the conditions were appalling and probably most of them were frozen to the marrow and asleep on their feet by half-time. It's easy to shout "They're all bloody professionals!" but on day's like this having to hack it outdoors in driving rain and freezing gales isn't a picnic for anybody. In the end we had the game and the score that seems to me to have been inevitable. They should have postponed it to a nicer day but the PL don't do common sense like cricket. Steven Davis is blossoming under Pochettino and although he'll never be accused of subtlety he is a fighter and tidy and a fitting member of our skilful and ever enterprising midfield. MotM for me and great work from Gaston also who is gradually settling into this foul climate of ours. Fox had some good runs forward but as always gives us the heebie-jeebies when trying to defend. Not a complete player but OK yesterday.

This will be a romp in the park, we are far too classy for these artisan barrow boys... 4-1, Easy, easy, easy!

The key test is the quality of the loos and the food outlets. Both are crap at The Emirates and Wembley and no better than what is on offer at SMS. I'm amazed we don't get hit by plague epidemics with all that lack of good hygiene. Old scouser fans always wore welly boots to matches at Anfield and for very good reasons; many will remember with 'fondness' using the Dell Loo's in the rain... but that's probably too much information.
