"We are Southampton, We are top of the League" What else do you want us to say? 12 points above 7th placed Derby County. Should amke the play-offs then?

If you change a winning team every week this is what you get. It also seemed to me that Nigel switched tactics around so often that our players lost the plot a bit and didn't know where to play or what was expected of them. I saw him do the diamond hand signal a couple of times (to win the football back - he says) and then the 4/4/2 and then goodness knows what towards the end. Sure it's good to change tactics but to do that the team needed to be playing like a well-oiled machine in automatic and it just wasn't doing that last night. I hear all the stuff about "the squad" which is great if you are ManUre or ManCy or Gooners with at east two first teams but we aren't yet so for heaven's sake let's play our best XI and it's up to the other's to fight their way in or bugger off if they don't like it.

You've probably put the kibosh on it now buddie!

Let's hope he can keep all of them happy. It was quite noticeable on Saturday at the end of the game that both de Ridder and Schneiderlin ignored the clapping fans in the Itchen and rushed down the tunnel looking anything but pleased. All the others milked it for all it was worth.

They can be heard "effing" in every song all around the ground, kids and women don't need to hear fou-mouth chanting and singing all day. You don't hear so much of it away so what's wrong with these local youngsters, surely we don't have the lowest education standards in the country? It shows us in a really bad light on TV as it all comes out very clearly. With that lot of morons in the ground we'll never be seen as a respectable family club again whatever our football achievements. Even though it should be easy to identify the people involved, one doubts the club have the balls to deal with it.

Very pleased indeed. Guly's finely judged header for the first goal was worthy of Goal of the Day! Wonder if Hansen is watching?

Yep!

As of yesterday there were "plenty" of tickets left so guessing 24/25 tops. They don't have the 'glamour' of "Bubbles" United, poor area so don't expect a big travelling contingent

Lovely, lovely lad. Have loved him from the time he arrived here. What a super star he's turning out to be and some of his comments on the OS confirm him as The Super Saint. We are very lucky to have him, such integrity and determination; never whinges and just tries harder each time he drops to the bench. Hands off all you PL posers, he's ours. Morgan, Morgan gives us a wave!

They hate me for saying it, they hate Alpine for saying it so they'll be on your back any moment now. Deep down 'though even those guys who gloss over every set back must be getting a bit anxious. Also this match seems to have cast the die, if Cortese truly instructed Adders to get us out of this cup - and it really does look (as Dave Merrington implied) that we didn't want to win it - then it doesn't bode well for Nigel if he doesn't secure us automatic promotion. Hope he keeps the smiles going after this. Guess we won't be interested in the other cup either so who will bother to turn up?

Terrible. Reserves or no reserves we are effing hopeless away and sooner rather than later it's going to cost us dear. Middlesbrough is beginning to freak me out now, I'm not sure we have the confidence in the side at present to score enough goals to win it. If Lallana and Fonte are not available it could get very bad, with Barnard miles off match fitness and Connolly seemingly having lost the plot.

Frankly who gives a toss! Anyone who takes any notice of TV commentators is a moron.

Nigel said it was a tight hamstring so we should believe him, he is not a lying barsteward.

Another poor show away from home, 3 from 15 not very convincing at all

Why did he drop Morgan Shneiderlin when on Tuesday everything good came through him. He's the only midfielder with total game awareness and his passing success puts the others to shame. If they '****' this lad about too much he'll want out yet Adders rates him one of the best talents in the NPC. I don't get it especially when Cork is sub-par

We've won nothing yet! As Nigel would have us say, let's draw a blue line under everything that we have achieved so far and concentrate on the only thing that matters, the game at Reading today. It's that simple really!

Far from it but he didn't get enough games to settle as we were in panic mode at the time and if you didn't play like Cashley in your first game you were out. Wrong place at the wrong time for Liptak but he showed some promise

Just to wish him a speedy recovery and better luck in the future. Regretably, it's the way the game is played these days, ultra competitive all-or-nothing commitment. It looks harmless enough from the touchline but up close and personal it's fast, rough and physical. two lads in for the ball and focused only on the ball and crash... this type of accident is waiting to happen.

Hoover is a very good nickname, clean sweep and so on... you just know those Celtic barstewards will be effing awkward in January, it won't be as staightforward as we would wish - probably want Lallana in p/e

Crikey mate, you really are in cuckoo land. There are 34 games to go FFS!

I guess we all know what you're saying... it'll be like 1945 next season, you can turn to your neighbour in the next seat and say "Where were you in the dark and dismal days of League 3, Chum" Camp followers all so ******** to the lot of them and guess what, ALL the corporate seats were full again last night. Ah, well! we know who we are don't we. Salt of the bloody earth!

Wonderful days and the sun is shining and Morgan & Chappers just keep getting better and we have Lallana on the bench!

The only way to stop them is by ambushing their bloody coach up the M3 somewhere

This is the manipulation of statistics on a criminal scale. Truth is Saints have taken a meagre 2pts from 12 on the road which is frankly woeful and most definitely not promotion form - as a few slip-ups at home will soon confirm

Didn't we win up there last time? Not expecting a repeat our away form is a cause of concern. Whilst I always hope for a win, just can't see it against 3rd palce team at home riding high. I fear we''ll get kicked in the Guly's 0-3
