We've come along way since Rochdale did the double over us

Winning this would be a massive statement. Must contain Aguero/Toure Cork for Mane for me.

We will play better and lose this season. Can you imagine paying to watch that Villa side each week?

After 12 games, Man Utd are 4th with 19 points. This is the lowest EVER 4th place total after 12 games since 3 points for a win were introduced in 1981/2

Because he's a selfish, desperate, aging monolith who considers Rickie beneath him?

This might be pride before a fall but I mega mega fancy ourselves against these two over the next couple of weeks

Which is a ridiculous statement for us Saints fans.

Is it bad I wanted them to win this so we had a chance of playing them in R3?

hahaha

Lambert and Lallana on, winning 3-1. Party like it's 2010

All 6 current/ex Saints gave been excellent tonight. Although I guess Forster's had little to do

Are you at the pub?

Haha. They were pinning their hopes on him

If you're on twitter search for 'clyne'. It's 70% people loving him, 30% Liverpool and united fans wanting to sign him

With Blind out, United's centre backs and centre midfielders against Arsenal likely to be Smalling, Blackett, Fellaini and Herrera. Against Sanchez et al. I might make a point of watching that game

Watching Benteke tonight, I'm really glad he's not playing next Monday

Don't forget Pelle's in the cup v Stoke. That would probably have finished 2nd in last year's competition behind Lallana

yeah, Saints are 17th in the table here no really, Long was limping feeling his hamstring

There we go. Long done his hammy

Long doing well so far but I fear he'll get injured. You can tell he plays with better, more intelligent players than a lot of these Irish players

This, oh god this. People talk about our upcoming games against the big guns, but last year in the remaining 12 corresponding fixtures from last year we got 7 points. It's difficult to see us doing worse this time round. Those games will be the make or break I think

From a saints point of view, I'd rather Chambers played

Chambers getting an absolute roasting on sky

Vergini, Mannone, Williamson, Bony and Jakupovic have been particularly good to us. Really, Tadic. Pelle, Morgan, Vic, Clyne, Bertrand and Alderweireld deserve honourable mentions. Victor and Bertrand most improved (Bertrand pretty average last year at Villa by all accounts. Then again, who isn't?)

Aguero is unbelievably good. 2-2
