Eh please expand

Talking about how well Moi is playing, and how his movement from the right side was like Armstrong. To paraphrase: "Maybe can do a job for us there if Armstrong is having trouble staying at the club."

Maybe a throwaway comment, but a concerning thing to hear from someone like Blackmore.

FFS lads, save something for the Geordies.

“ We were a bit complacent after Wednesday night” will be the excuse 

[Toussaint]

C’mon lads, 4 minutes without scoring, wtf! Get it sorted!

[Pilchards]

Which is it with us and 9 NILS?!?

[IOWSaintDaz]

Hopefully Newcastle will be held to extra time with Saturdays game looming soon and with their injuries that would be a bonus

[mcbendy]

Highlights tonight at 22:30 on Quest, which it looks like you can stream live here: https://www.discoveryplus.co.uk/channel/quest?idp=Sonic&responseCode=212

League Cup still going straight to penalties isn't it?

doesn't it go straight to pens?

[Saint Billy]

How long will long take to get a long shot at long range for a long awaited goal by long.

[The Cat]

Another clean sheet for Forster. Stats don't lie.

[Hamilton Saint]

Yes. (Straight to penalties)

A long, long time

[Manuel]

D2 or not.  Nice to hear of the goals being banged in.

Playing them when they were down to nine men was also a bonus.

From the BBC... 

 

So as things stand, Southampton are on their way to the biggest away win in their history.

Saints have won 6-0 four times, at Carlisle in 1977 in the Second Division, against Wolves in 2007 in the Championship, against Oldham in League One in 2011 and against MK Dons in this competition in 2015.

You'll get Long odds on him scoring full stop.

[saintwbu]

Actually gonna be disappointed if we don’t get 9…

[BARCELONASAINT]

Even in such a one sided game Long can't score.....now that's saying something.

Professional performance from the lads tonight.

From the sounds he desperately tried to gift them a consolation, so not exactly impressing

Hassenhuttl gets another record 

[Suhari]

Sounds like we've been getting the ball forward much quicker than last season.

[Dr Who?]

And of course Arsenal have hit 6 away at WBA. 🙄

[st alex]

Can't stop scoring at 69 mins FFS, pop a couple more in.

[Sheaf Saint]

Arsenal trying to steal our thunder tonight. 0-6 up against West Brom now.

[S-Clarke]

The attacking quality has dropped with Theo, Long and Obafemi on the pitch. No doubts about that.

[whelk]

Definitely over to cricket now 96 for 7 

[whelk]

Make that 96 for 8

[Sheaf Saint]

8-0!

8 now. Edging ahead of Saints.

[Manuel]

Haven't had a goal for a while.  Hope we haven't taken the foot off the pedal.

[Jimmy_D]

Still time for 9?

[nta786]

8-0!!

[S-Clarke]

8-0!

Great game for Elyonoussi.

[Suhari]

Not scored for 20 minutes. Come on guys: surely that's enough recovery time? Let's go again.

I could.

[Toussaint]

Tenner on a Saints win

[TWar]

Is three goals and two assists enough for him to take Walcott's place at Newcastle?

[Jimmy_D]

That'll do  

[Sunglasses Ron]

I’d eight to be a Newport fan right now!

[Micky]

Scraped home again as normal. 

[Shroppie]

A lot of claims staked for first team places. Really healthy competition.

[Disco Stu]

Well done Saints 👏

[S-Clarke]

Edged that one, it was a fairly tight contest up until the 1st min.

Don't think I've ever witnessed us win by that margin, don't care who it is against, it gives you a nice spring in your step.

Always knew he would confound the doubters. 😉

[Manuel]

Nice.

Another clean sheet for Forster (didn't have to make a save).

[Dr Who?]

I know, what was I thinking with only 5! 

[Teddeer]

Nice to get some shooting practice in - fish in a barrel.
