Newcastle 1 - 2 Southampton Post Match euphoria

[CB Saint]

Fonte has a nice shiner - when did that happen

[Feyenoord1908]

Koeman should be in the vote.

 

He clearly masterminded this victory. He worked with Newcastle rightback Daryl Janmaat last year and knew his weakeness would be defensively and following his man. It was very clever to instruct Elia to come deep inside as often as possible to get more space. Elia is not a type of player that does this often so these were clear instructions that got him 2 goals.

 

Very well done.

[richard]

Happy days! Why did Newcastle sack Pards?

 

He left, they didn't really sack him.

[Saint Charlie]

Fonte has a nice shiner - when did that happen

 

Ipswich game I think.

[Saint_clark]

Voted for Reed as MOTM. Elia was very good but Reed was outstanding given the circumstances and the pressure to step up.

 

Also very happy after betting on Elia to score 2 or more goals...

 

[Bearsy]

Was Osvaldo at the game? Just seen Jose's got black eye

[Saint Without a Halo]

Fonte is magnificent in Defence did Liverpool buy the wrong centre back?

[Under Weststand]

Wow what a week 3 tough away games 6 - points & next round of the cup. You can't ask more than that.

This is turning into a season to remember. Been at the hospital so only just in to see Elia score the second, but I thought

Reed looked like right little terrier from what I was able to see. Ella looks a real handful & will improve with games.

[B Rabbit]

At this rate....I'm going to be disappointed if we don't make the top 4!

It is so, very achievable

[saintmatt]

Arguably our best result of the season given amount of fixtures and injuries in build up

[SNSUN]

Koeman is my man crush. Sorry Lambert, I've moved on.

[mitch01]

Such a great result. Clyne, Ward-Prowse and Elia all excellent We're getting good at winning these games.

[5string]

And we still have MS, Big Vic, Toby Alright, Sadio, Jay R, Yoshida & Sam G to return.

 

That should heat up competition for starting places.

 

And, erm, Mayuka...

[Bearsy]

Voted for Reed as MOTM. Elia was very good but Reed was outstanding given the circumstances and the pressure to step up.

Good work fella! Anyone offering Manager Of The Year odds? I reckon Koeman has to be nailed on!

[Batman]

that handball was a fair shout for newcastle

you seen them given and I would have wanted one for saints had that been the other end

 

but then, who cares

 

Elia was very good, who was it who said in the paper that he wont have an impact in the prem?

I think we missed wanyama quite a lot, hopefully a couple of player will be back for the next prem game

[SO16_Saint]

It's one thing winning 8-0 at home but a completely different matter grinding out a 2-1 away win at Newcastle.

 

It's the stuff of real team spirit and one that is the real deal and challenging for the CL....for real.

[saint1977]

Wow - we just won three back to back away games at Man U, Ipswich and Newcastle, all tough places to win. Calling MLG and Fitzhugh to the thread - when is the last time we won three away games in a row, let alone back to back?

 

Elia, Reed, Pelle superb, Fonte striding out from the back like Alan Hansen. Gardos great again, bit unlucky for goal. Koeman got subs just right although would use Seager and rest Long next week in the Cup if there's any risk to his groin.

 

Great week to be a Saints fan.

[shurlock]

The Fonte nonpenalty makes up for the s**t decision against Fox a few years ago at St. James.

[um pahars]

Sooooooooooooooooooooo fecking proud of this bunch of players, the manager and all the staff supporting them. Big shout to those making the journey to support as well.

 

It just goes on and on and on

 

Red Stripes being cracked open as I type.

 

And just seen Fonte & Elia interviewed after the game. Very impressive.

[badgerx16]

Am I correct in thinking that Gardos has played 8, won 7, drawn 1 ?

 

Just checked, and in the Prem this is correct.

Newcastle home & away

Swansea away

Stoke home

Palace away

Chelsea home

Arsenal home

Man Utd away

 

Weak link ?

[Jack]

That could've gone either way, but you make your own luck. Unreal week.

 

Harry Reed my MOTM. Stepped up to the plate and didn't put a foot wrong. Unbelievable shift from him and we needed to get at Newcastle.

[Bearsy]

And just seen Fonte & Elia interviewed after the game. Very impressive.

 

What Elia said bout koeman made me all emotions

[SO16_Saint]

Just checked, and in the Prem this is correct.

Newcastle home & away

Swansea away

Stoke home

Palace away

Chelsea home

Arsenal home

Man Utd away

 

Weak link ?

Yeah, but with the exception of Chelsea, the rest are mid table teams, at best

[SO16_Saint]

What Elia said bout koeman made me all emotions

What he say?

 

"I heart Ronald"?

[Pancake]

Jesus Christ, we can really do something here.

[Saint Charlie]

Not that it matters, but Forster at fault for the goal IMO.

 

Consistently camps too deep in his box and has to be more decisive.

 

The defenders know he doesn't come off his line so they don't want to take the chance of leaving it. Glad Gardos took responsibility, unlucky.

[Plastic]

We win AGAIN. Becoming a habit.

[miserableoldgit]

The Fonte nonpenalty makes up for the s**t decision against Fox a few years ago at St. James.

 

It always used to be "hand to ball - penalty", " ball to hand- no penalty". When did it change? Fonts did not put his hand out to stop the ball.

Bit of both, Gardos must have been able to see Forster coming as he's looking right at him and he has plenty of time to pull out of the tackle.

Perhaps that's how he's coached ?

It looked like he was protecting his face.

[bpsaint]

"WE ARE SOUTHAMPTON,WE'RE **** ON TV!"

 

What a week, to win back to back league games at OT and SJP is the stuff of dreams, particularly after the summer we had and all the uncertainty. The Champions League dream is starting to feel very real indeed.

[Toomer]

Yes

[beatlesaint]

Incredible week, incredible team spirit, incredible manager

 

I can see why Les Reed rates Harrison Reed so much, he looks the business, like he's been playing there for years.

Elia and Mane in the same team and both on form will be amazing, he looks like he is ready to take the chance Ronald has given him with both hands.

 

very very proud of this club :)

[Bearsy]

What he say?

 

"I heart Ronald"?

 

"my situation was bad, i was in terrible trouble, desolate and alone in a world of misery, wandering door to door, club to club, and no-one would help me, no-one would take me in, and then koeman, he was the only one! Koeman opened his door and he let me in to his club and his heart, the only man in the world who would believe in me, and i said to him, i will repay you, ronald koeman! I will repay you with the bloodied corpse of newcastle defenders!"

 

and then he broke down crying.

[tedmaul]

Perhaps that's how he's coached ?

 

Keep remembering a Gary Lineker quote from Match of the Day ... "Southampton ... They just won't go away" Huge win today

[krissyboy31]

42 points by mid-January, what on earth is going on.

 

I'm used to being mighty pleased with that at the end of the season. Fantastic performance in the circumstances the belief and team spirit throughout the whole of the squad is something to behold. Ellia was MOTM for his goals but I thought Pelle was immense and how many times has he hit the woodwork, this season??

[Cabrone]

Amazing, we seem to have forgotten how to lose, this is unreal.

 

We are currently on 42 points. Top 4 should be achieved by getting 33 points from our next 16 games.

 

Home games: Swansea, West Ham, Liverpool, Palace, Burnley, Hull, Spurs, Villa

Away games: QPR, West Brom, Chelsea, Everton, Stoke, Sunderland, Leicester, Citeh

 

I can see 33 points from that lot.

 

Bloody hell, champs league is really on.

[S-Clarke]

lol @ carver.

 

''We dominated the game''.

 

No, you didn't. And that's why you're not getting the job.

I saw it, and that is word for word something that he could have said.

that c*nt is 100 miles short of a good manager. I hope they give him the job!

the man is an idiot. been giving it some 'passion' when he talks to the media...but just an idiot

He's no Anti Niemi, that's for sure. Oh to have him back.

 

Great win all the same

Agreed Charlie fella. It can and will be coached out of him though, and he WILL become the perfect keeper IMHO.

[Bearsy]

Southampton last won at St James' Park in 1997

 

sheesh

[Baird of the land]

Glad for once we didn't get caught playing a team with a new manager. So happy to see Ashley dithering.

To be fair to Carver, don't think his comment is that our of order. We were gutsy and defensively solid but if it was the other way round i'd be equally frustrated.

[nta786]

Where is DALEK?

As FOR Carver, having an emotional breakdown on TV won't get you the job.

Hibernating till next season when he can pull out his "wait till we get to 40" rubbish again.

[LGTL]

That is staggering. They were woeful.

I wonder sometimes what these managers see. Unbelievable.
