Saints destroy Derby to regain top spot

Saints destroy Derby to regain top spot Saints destroy Derby to regain top spot

SAINTS climbed back to the top of the Championship after demolishing Derby 4-0 at St Mary’s today.

Goals from Jos Hooiveld, Aaron Martin, Adam Lallana and Tadanari Lee lifted them above West Ham, who are not in action this weekend.

Saints are now two points clear of the Hammers at the head of the table, although they have played twice more than Sam Allardyce’s side.

Nigel Adkins’ men also lead third-placed Reading by five points, with the Royals holding one game in hand on them.

And Saints received an extra boost today, as fourth-placed Cardiff slipped up 3-0 at Ipswich.

A great win, convincing stuff & goal difference improved way above anyone else.

Top of the league, most goals scored, best goal difference, not out of the top 2 all season - try moaning about that anyone!

Oh, & Poopey are in the bottom 3!

What a great day for football - COYR & FOP!

In NA & NC I trust.

On way back from the game best performance since Brighton at home. Sticky patch either side of half time but after Martin goal we were awesome. Back on top, Cardiff lose, birmingham have extra game and skates in bottom 3 if carlsberg did Saturdays then this would b it. Few beers tonight I feel

The last week has been massive for us, 7 points and a return to a full strength squad. The bench looks so strong now and we should fear nobody. I predict a surge towards the promised land over the coming weeks.

Completely agree with Joelster Pompey Phil is a gentleman and I for one hope Pompey survive in the Championship. We all know what we went thru and its too bad there is so much hatred between the two clubs,

Wonderful win for Saints today but I am not one who likes to kick someone when they are down. It seems there are many who take delight in the destruction of Pompey and we should all remember these people love their Club in the same way as we are 100% behind our Club.
Hopefully there are others who can show a little compassion for our neighbours

David Letterman's top ten reasons why Saints will not be promoted:
10. We should have scored more goals
9. They had too many corners
8. We had one more booking
7. They came with a slim chance and we let them think that for 15 minutes
6. Sharp did not score - we wasted our money
5. Chaplow did not dominate
4. AL only scored once
3. Ricky did not score at all
2. Our defenders shoot better that the front two
And the number one reason
1. Kelv did not score

I can't believe people on here were at the same game as me. Adkins's tactics were useless and he played totally the wrong formation.

We simply cannot rely on luck like we did today and expect to go up.

I predict Adkins will be gone by the start of next season. The man's a fool.

You are a complete **** slug/bill the fish why don't you f11ck off. True fans take opinions and move on. Who are the real wums? Did willy find the members bar/ statue?

For the record cracking result should send shock waves thru league and keep pressure on the irons.

I'll be interested to hear why Billy came off on 45 mins. for me, he wasn't mixing it up at all up front, and he missed one golden opportunity. He looked pretty off form, and I wonder if he's having a rough move from Donnie. Chung on the other hand was indeed sh!t hot when he came on. His first touch was a clever flick that almost went over his head to put him in on goal -- Derby defenders looked like they'd seen a ghost! He rarely loses the ball, scrapped well tonight. I predict he'll start next match with Rickie, Billy as impact sub. Unbelievable options I the team now. Guly can't even make the bench! Want to say that puncheon was also fantastic when he came on for chaplow.

Great victory today. Fox was outstanding. A 'Bullet Train' of a shot from Tadanari Lee. Two goals from corners.

Everything came from the changed build up from the back. No more square balls across the back four and mid field. Much more direct with Kelvin kicking out of his hands to Sharp And Rickie.

When we play like this the opposition can't close us down at the back and in mid-field. Long may we play this more direct game of football. When the ball is in their half we can score. They can't.

dude seriously?!?! I mean "Seriously? this is still fun for you??? Get a life man, you and all your pompey "GHK's"
Nobodys falling for it anymore, we get it... ha ha, well done, you have like 5 pompey fans using the same "tag" GHK! Wow, how origional.
Surely by now, it must just make you feel "sad" about your own petty exhistence!? I mean really, no one even buys it anymore unless they are brand new to the site- get a life man.
Here's the progression for me- at first I was "ticked, then annoyed, then "after you", now I just feel sad picturing you in your boxer shorts at your laptop with a grin on your face cause all you got is a "stirring" from some saints fans who havent figured you out yet!!
sad really... maybe there is a helpline you can call, Im really genuinely trying to help you and your other pompey friends now... if I can help you come out of this sadness let me know.

Good luck to you.
Fair play, Pompey Phil. in my view Pompey look doomed to go down, just like we did a few years back. If you do, I hope Pompey regroup and come back stronger as a result. There will alway be radical elements in our rivalry but most Pompey / Saints fans want a strong rivalry with quality football played. I would be happy to see a south coast derby in the Prem five or so years down the road.

since we're the fittest team in the league it makes sense to treat billy as a guy who's coming back from injury and not give him 90 minutes yet. But just imagine, what a fully fit Billy Sharp in this team will be like. Not fully fit and playing for doncaster he scored 10 times!!!

It just proves that there are idiots like you who have no brains who just want a punch up and see other clubs suffer through other peoples actions,Iam sure as your other fellow supporters have shown that there are decent genuine football fans who do not want to see clubs go out of business,and as i said a few weeks ago on here we will all be united in the summer,as one nation supporting England,and i will say it again well done for your promotion to the premier league(all be it for the formalities)and good luck next season.PUP
There's only one club i want to suffer
phil ignore this guy... has no honor in him.
you've spoken well.
No I'll tell you what don't ignore any one but get some self respect. No one on here cares what you think your Pompey and that is that, you made your choice of club and stick with it thru thick n thin. You didn't worry about us getting relegated when you were picking up your fa cup winners medal which incidentally you're paying the true price for now.
No one wants to see a club fold and you won't, just drop thru the leagues but we don't feel sorry either. I would of thought rather being on a saints forum you would be on your own trying to figure a way of getting your club out of the hole it's in.
Ps slug n Billy the fish bruv's don't speak for every one on here, they are also proof that inter breeding doesn't work. They didn't know we had a members bar at St Marys, secret Pompey fans.

joelster You either have a very short memory or a very forgiving nature. it is of absolutely no concern of mine if they go out of business A very large number of them were wishing it on us a few years back In addition to that I have personally suffered verbal abuse that goes beyond the boundary's of banter If morons like that have no club to associate themselves with I reckon that's a bonus It may be a minority but it is not a SMALL minority

Immense display of dominating football today. Chaplow is back....definately. His hassle freed up the midfield. I questioned the subs at half time as I honestly thought BS would make a chance for himself in the second half. I guess Jos felt a twinge in the hamstring. Once again, NA proves himself so much better than this wannabee manager...Martin solid...gets a goal...and Lee with a screamer that sent me "arching" in the chapel end....one word...superb...and I truely believe we are going up! PS Banana Wharf is the place to go after the game...the beer is strong and fizzy as ****! COYR :O)

Great comment, means a lot to every saints fan to hear something like that especially from a pompey fan, and it takes a lot for someone like you to come on here and comment, true football fan. I really do hope you don't go out of business, I really do feel sorry for all your players, coaches and fans, because its not their fault that our in this mess, it must be horrible what your going through, all because of your club being poorly run, no club deserves that, even if it is our closest and biggest rivals. I do hope you turn it around and keep going as a club, one of my best mates is a massive pompey fan and I love all the banter that comes with it, and I would hate to see that go, as i'm sure every saints fan would as well. Thanks again mate, really do hope you live to fight another day, and you get going as a club again. COYR

Tadanari Lee looked a class act. His lay offs, turning off players and movement were fantastic. Several moves had the Derby defence cut to pieces. I was sat behind the line of his shot on goal: one of the best goals seen for ages. Great to see him do the archer and come over to Nigel for the the high five. Methinks this could be the start of brilliant things to come. ONWARDS and UPWARDS. Good call Nigel

Great win by Saints today, brilliant performance and good to see our individual performances are returning at the right time as our passing movement and all round game is back to what we were doing in first half of season. Cannot believe people are still moaning Saints have been through sticky spell of results and just come through ome fixtures against teams around us and we have only dropped to 2nd in the table, last three results have improved and we are back on top after todays result and playing very well again and looking like we are going on another push for promotion back to the promise land. onwards and upwards good luck players and management for rest of season and COYR. A word about Pompey dont want them to fold completely but would like the football league to severly punish them How can they sign players as they should be under a transfer embargo anyway and also have young players out on loan so if they cannot field enough subs like today at Barnsley then they should recall them young players and play them rather than loaning better players from other clubs? Pompey have so far got off very lightly compared to other clubs as this is in fact a third time the football club has been in administration and at the moment there parent company is as well, come on football league fairs fair respect the previous clubs that have suffered administration rather than change rules to help out poor old Pompey!!!!!!!!

As regards that lot down the road they are getting what they deserve.This is the second time in 2 years they have gone into administration,i think a 20 point deduction should be given.These last couple of days have been great for all Saints fans.They laughed at us perhaps we will have the last laugh.

I have to say I work with a few of the blue few and they're (mostly) decent blokes who admit they'd exchange positions with us in a second so, for them, I have some sympathy.
However, I think the club are in more trouble than even they know. Last time they went into admin, HMRC rightly challenged the CVA on the grounds that the miniscule payment to them of 20p in the £ was wrong. Their objection was ignored. Surely they will challenge again and now be able to say, 'we were proven right'. It will be hard to deny them a second time.

Oooooops meant to add for full 90 minutes!!!
I'll be interested to hear why Billy came off on 45 mins. for me, he wasn't mixing it up at all up front, and he missed one golden opportunity. He looked pretty off form, and I wonder if he's having a rough move from Donnie. Chung on the other hand was indeed sh!t hot when he came on. His first touch was a clever flick that almost went over his head to put him in on goal -- Derby defenders looked like they'd seen a ghost! He rarely loses the ball, scrapped well tonight. I predict he'll start next match with Rickie, Billy as impact sub. Unbelievable options I the team now. Guly can't even make the bench! Want to say that puncheon was also fantastic when he came on for chaplow.
I think Guly was not in the team due to illness, but apart that I agree about Lee. He has done what others have not managed to do for a while except Sharpe's slightly dodgy shout which is score a goal playing alongside the Lamb.

Lambert has dropped deep which means he played up front on his own for long periods and on top of his goal he showed class when he got the ball. I hate to say it but he looked sharper than Sharpe. I'de say give Chung a chance! Let Billy play the impact sub.
