CalneSaint Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 Have to admit I had hoped for a point at best.....loss at worst....so come away from Swansea with all 3 pts is an amazing achievement....more importantly we now have midfielders chipping in with goals....
Torrent Of Abuse Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 If last year's final run-in is anything to go by, you can bet Adam Lallana is watching our second place from afar and thinking "one day, I could play for that great club".

Good points, well made.
VectisSaint Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 Interesting eh Mauricio, Dejan, Adam, Luke, Rickie, Calum...? What about 14/15? Good win today, our team is looking good. But our squad is so thin, bench today showed that we have so little strength in depth. JWP injured, hopefully Toby is not too bad, JRod not back until Dec/Jan. No decent keeper backup. Not trying to be negative, but some people need to see how weak we could be with a few injuries or suspensions. Hopefully it will not be an issue.
Minty Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 What about 14/15? Yeah, realised that not long after I did it... here's a correct one:

Not trying to be negative, but some people need to see how weak we could be with a few injuries or suspensions. Hopefully it will not be an issue. Our depth seems to be a work in progress. I'm not worried for the future. We had Wanyama on the bench for goodness sake!
washsaint Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 Squad so thin....are you having a giraffe? We are blessed with so many options in midfield. Toby out but Yoshi did pretty good and Gardos looks like a unit, Mane still to come in and Rodriguez back in a couple of months. This is the strongest squad depth we have had for many a year.
Saxon Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 MOTM Bertrand for me. That clearance was essential. Did a lot of good things. Busted a gut for the 90 mins. All of the defence was superb. Wanyama's goal was brilliant too excellent result!! Love to see grinding wins, not because they're exciting as much but that its nice that we can do them! Excellent show of character.
Wes Tender Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 3 points stolen from Swansea, who might have got something from the game had not Bony been so stupid. He let his team mates down badly with his impetuous tackling when he was already on a yellow. Swansea had been one of the few teams to keep us quiet in the first half and they were unlucky not to have gone in ahead, having hit the bar with us not really threatening their goal. But such is the way the dice tumbles and despite fighting bravely when they lost their best striker, the balance of the game turned in our favour. Often it is difficult for a team to beat one with 10 men, but thankfully Wanyama provided yet another surprise name on the scoresheet to add to Cork and Schneiderlin from midfield. Davis' turn next? After an impressive beating of Newcastle didn't impress the producers and pundits of MOTD, this match isn't going to set their pulses racing and I expect that we'll be down the pecking order once more. But what they won't be able to ignore, is our place in the table, and likely to stay there even after the matches tomorrow, unless City or Spurs have big score margin wins.
jawillwill Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 But according to Ian Holloway we are light years away from being Premier League?
farawaysaint Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 But according to Ian Holloway we are light years away from being Premier League? He hasn't forgiven us for singing "premier league you're having a laugh" to him. You could just tell he was desperate for us to lose it so he could hark back to that in his presser.
doddisalegend Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 (edited) Very happy with the three points. The sending off drastically changed the game in our favour. Swansea can't complain because both yellow cards were warranted, although we were perhaps a little fortunate that Fonte stayed on the pitch given his wild swing after he had already been cautioned. Second half we took full advantage and really dominated the game. Swansea defended resolutely and for a while I didn't think we would get the breakthrough. I thought it was a very professional performance in the end, considering we were being swamped a little in the first half. Great to see Vic get a goal. On current form I think he should be in the starting eleven. 2nd in the table - I've got a nosebleed! Vic should start every game quality player and we are much better team with him in IMO. In place of who though? All our midfield (JWP no quite there IMO) have been superb so far this season.....glad I'm not the manager must be a nightmare Edited 20 September, 2014 by doddisalegend

Excellent show of character. Bertrand is quality. Got a really mixed reception on here when he signed but hasn't put a foot wrong yet this season.
Toadhall Saint Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 But according to Ian Holloway we are light years away from being Premier League? I think he was talking about himself. Great great win. Would have taken a draw before the game. 2nd in the league - who would have believed it eh?
rallyboy Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 Did I just hear Robbie 'Saints are nailed on for relegation' Savage making excuses for Liverpool as they have a lot of new players who will need time to gel? Ditto Newcastle, apparently they sold loads of players and need time as well... In the dumb blonde bombshell's defence, he does apologise every week for getting it so wrong. And rightly so.
Sheaf Saint Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 In place of who though? All our midfield (JWP no quite there IMO) have been superb so far this season.....glad I'm not the manager must be a nightmare Cork wasn't really in the game today and was rightly substituted.
alpine_saint Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 Well Done Saints, great win. Hope VW settles down a bit now..
Baird of the land Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 Didn't get to listen to game today as i was out playing myself. Glad Bony helped Saints out with a silly sending off in what was an extremely tough away game. Equally glad we took advantage off them having 10 men. Makes nice viewing seeing us 2nd. Absolutely love our midfield. To me its Morgan and 2 of 3 between davis/Cork/Wanyama.
doddisalegend Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 Cork wasn't really in the game today and was rightly substituted. Fair dues I thought the same today TBF. In fairness though Cork came into the side and scored a couple and played brilliantly after Victors nightmare showing 1st half at Millwall. Joys off having so many quality players in the midfield I guess.

And you will be until you score a goal. 1. Newcastle/Hull, 2. WestHam/Liverpool, 3. Villa/Arsenal, 4. QPR/Stoke, 5. Swansea/Southampton, 6. Burnley/Sunderland.

alpine_saint Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 Why oh why was Hodgson there today ? Leave us alone u c**t.
S-Clarke Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 Why oh why was Hodgson there today ? Leave us alone u c**t. Looking at Dyer and Routledge apparently. Shows how utterly shockingly poor England's options are.
LostBoys Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 In short f off Lallana f off Lovren f off Chambers f off Shaw and f off Robbie I am a complete t**t Savage Bit basic and sorry but a bit worse for wear after a few beers watching the game at the Comerados in Romsey whu
Appy Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 Looking at Dyer and Routledge apparently. Shows how utterly shockingly poor England's options are. Both of those are better than Townsend who continues to be picked.
hans gruber Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 Best defence in the league at the moment too
S-Clarke Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 How was Gardos? To be fair, he was put under no pressure what so ever, such an easy 45 mins. But he distributes the ball well, looks mobile enough.
doddisalegend Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 Best defence in the league at the moment too and a defence with far better depth for cover than last season to:)
itchen_dan Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 any highlights available? http://www.tvgoals.net/video/8613/swansea-city-vs-southampton-premier-league-highlights-2014-09-20/
John Boy Saint Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 Why oh why was Hodgson there today ? Leave us alone u c**t. Gary Monk had a moan in his direction that he never showed his face at Swansea games despite having English players ("better that the shoite you normally pick" said under his breath in the same sentence).

Seems fair to me we only had one goal in our game the rest have more action
Batman Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 vic looked a bit pished off when he scored
grezz Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 How was Gardos? He looked like he was having a kick-about with his mates. I know he had nothing much to do but I think he looks like he'll be starting very soon. So far, so good.
doddisalegend Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 Seems fair to me we only had one goal in our game the rest have more action Wasn't complaining just thought people like to know.
Olly Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 vic looked a bit pished off when he scored Yeah, I thought that too
OldNick Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 vic looked a bit pished off when he scoredyeah, he looked as if the fans had not been good to him
jamesfp1 Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 He was doing one of the celebrations off fifa init
doddisalegend Posted 20 September, 2014 Posted 20 September, 2014 Adam Blackmore interviewed him for Solent and asked him about his goal celebration apparently Vic has been desperate to score since he got here when it finally happened he didn't really now what to do to celebrate...no drama folks

It was a perfectly good goal ruled out. but he was still celebrating whilst they carried on playing

All good for competition in the squad IMO.

It was a perfectly good goal ruled out. but he was still celebrating whilst they carried on playing Oh yeah remember that probably why he didn't celebrate this time looked like a bit of nob still giving it large after everybody else had realised it wasn't going to stand....
