Lambert 'still pinching himself' after vital Saints win

Rickie Lambert celebrates his goal against Liverpool
Rickie Lambert admitted he had to pinch himself after scoring a dream goal against his boyhood club, Liverpool.
The striker’s deflected free-kick in Saturday’s 3-1 win was yet another moment for the 31-year-old to savour in his career.
Lambert remains the top English goalscorer in the Premier League, with 13 to his name now in his first season in the top flight.
He will perhaps even have impressed national team manager Roy Hodgson, who was in the St Mary’s directors’ box at the weekend.
The lifelong Liverpool fan revealed how much it meant to score against the Reds.
“I think everyone knows the relationship I have with Liverpool,” he said.
“It was a massive game, my family were there, but obviously I’m professional.
“My main focus was to have the team try and get three points and I’m just over the moon that my goal has helped us get three points.
“Obviously, there’s been some lows, but the highs have been unbelievable and I’m confident that there’s plenty more to come in my career and for Southampton.
“It’s going really well, but we’re still not safe. There’s still points to be taken, but the lads are absolutely buzzing after that.”
A regular theme for Saints since Mauricio Pochettino replaced Nigel Adkins as manager has been playing well without taking many points.
They managed to put that right against Liverpool, though, turning in a performance that had echoes of their 3-1 win over champions Manchester City at St Mary’s last month.
The result is a huge boost in the club’s fight for Premier League survival.
“It was massively important that we got the three points,” said Lambert.
“I think we’ve been unlucky the last few weeks, I think we deserved a few more points than what we’ve got.
“You can say all day that you’re unlucky and all that, but it’s points that matter.”
Lambert said Pochettino was pleased with the display.
“As long as we perform like that for him he’s fine no matter what the result,” he said.
“It’s when we’re not following what he’s trying to say, that’s when he gets frustrated.
“But I think we’ve done well the last few games and we’ve been a little bit unlucky, but we’ve managed to get the three points for him.”
Lambert also hailed the contribution of Jay Rodriguez, who played in a central role and proved a constant menace, setting up the first goal and scoring the third.
“I think Jay’s a terrific player and I think that is his best position, striker, in the middle,” said Lambert.
“I think when we have played in that position we have played really well.
“It was obviously good to see him get that terrific goal at the end, I was absolutely over the moon for him.
“The performances have been there lately, and he’s been unlucky not to get a goal, so I was so happy that he’s managed to get on the scoresheet. It was a great goal.”

Well done to lambert, I doubted whether he was premier league class and he has excelled. He may not be the quickest but nor was sherringham. He is a puppeteer and gently pulls the strings and makes us work. Class

I would quite like Villa to go down then we could pick up Benteke and Wiemann fairly cheaply, a cheeky bid for Jack Wiltshere and Lescott and we would be on our way.

I think Reading, QPR, Wigan and maybe Villa will also finish under 40 with Wet Spam on 40 or 41. We need to keep at it though. I have us down for 42-43.
win loose win loose win loose draw loose ( in any order ) and saints are safe, for me if we do that then it will be QPR,READING and SUNDERLAND who drop...

Aint it great for us Saints supporters to be part of this.
What great forsight of Pardew, to have pesuaded Cortese to pay £1million, in Div 1.
This was the best £1 million ever spent by our Saints management.
Rickie you have proved so many people wrong about your commitment and ability.
My view on you from day one, has never changed.
You are indead a Southampton legend already and I hope you play on for a lot longer, for our fantastic football club.

And we take such pleasure and pride in your wonderful success!
Thank you so much for what only you could do, and for doing it for the Saints (and thanks again to Alan Pardew for signing you!).
Long may it continue.
A man more deserving of success and (much overused!) living legendary status amongst Saints fans, does not draw breath.
I hope you read this and know how much pleasure you give us all.
Now score a hat-trick against Chelsea ;-)

Yep Rickie must be in wonderland.
ref relegation Stoke and Norwich must be worried as well they have the worst form over 10 games in the division 5 and 6 points respectively. Saints Villa and Wigan could all over take them unless they put together a couple of wins.Think the anti has risen 40 points to be sure of staying up.
Agree that Sunderland could be in big trouble we need to get something there. Their game at Villa could be a relegation decider.
West ham's game in hand will probably see them scrape through. Though they have a 4 of the top teams to play.
Newcastle are back in the scrap as well now

So that's nice.
The challenge now, obviously, is to do this regularly against mid-table teams. If we do I think we're in with a decent shout of finishing in the top half. It's incredibly tight down there but Nicola has unearthed a gem of a manager who will lift us above the dross of this league.

I have witnessed us lift one major cup, runners up in two others, runners up in the top tier, win a minor trophy and rise to (what is now) the best and toughest league in world football.
I have never seen them have to compete in the lowest tier of English League football....
...which is a bonus :O)

The spending is offset by the fact that we have a superb academy churning out the England players of the future.
Do you realise...the money raised by Pompey on player sales during your "Glory year" could have paid for an Academy, training ground and a stadium. In short...a future.

I would rather have a sound club in the top flight working to a budget than a bit of silver that cost you your club!

another point, has spiderman lived in the country long enough to have qualified for England, he`s been here nearly 5 years already. I know he`s played for france at u21 level but does that count you out at full international level? would be good if he could play for England.

SAINTS fans if you managed to stay in the PREMIERSHIP this season and Cortesse spent 60/70 million on players next season and you manged to be in 3 4 5 6TH position would you question where the money came from ?
The spending is offset by the fact that we have a superb academy churning out the England players of the future.
Do you realise...the money raised by Pompey on player sales during your "Glory year" could have paid for an Academy, training ground and a stadium. In short...a future.
Instead, a good deal of that money sits in the offshore bank account owned by your hero...Arry.

You only cared about being in the PL and winning the FACup. And it's all you go on about now.
Others including Saints fans were telling you the numbers didn't stack up but you didn't listen. When things weren't right at our club we took action, you chose a trophy!
When you get old you can look back and remember your trophy and when your team was in the football league. We will still be there!

The other thing that they don't understand is that if you asked ANY club chairman, players or fans to choose between silverware and the Premier League there would only be ONE answer.

The ref didn't see those 2 calls because I have it on good authority that Halsey is a PFC supporter and even has a tattoo on his wrist (under his watch) (No not joking)
As all skates are blind to the truth, it's no wonder he didn't see the tackle or the handball!
He must be a deaf C*nt too because how he waved play on and didn't hear that player shout in pain I don't know!!!

Re Rickie: Someone said above that the £1m we spent on him was the best money ever spent by a Saints' management team. On that score, I've always herralded Alan Ball (£65,000 was it?) but I genuinely think Rickie has now proved to be the all-time best ever Saints buy.

You chose a unsuccessful team your nearest rivals are more successful that is why you hate POMPEY . Ashame in 127 years SAINTS have not won as much as us ! as our 4-1 recent wins against you would mean far more .
Most teams in the premiership are in debt MAN utd 400+ million so 64 million is small fry then are SAINTS in DEBT ?
We have had the bad luck of previous suspect owners and you have had bad luck of not much success in 127 years and a uncertain financial future dependant on that word you hate success .
As a TRUST and fan owned club we will have a more secure future .
whatever happens accept it and build from that base. Glad to see connolly doing well for you.
Saints forever.

Jay rod is an out n out striker, has pace to make opposing defence drop deep which in turn gives lambert, Ramirez and lallana even more space and time.
Well done to lambert, I doubted whether he was premier league class and he has excelled. He may not be the quickest but nor was sherringham. He is a puppeteer and gently pulls the strings and makes us work. Class

I really like Ricky and to be honest would prefer him scoring the goals for Saints and not tiring himself out on the International scene. He can drive us to get into Europe but I think it is late in his career to be thinking about England.

It is everything he deserves for all he ahs done in his career, I am sure for Ricky there is ony one thing that could beat that, and it would be scoring at the Kop end
