1:25pm Sat 25 Feb 12

0-2 will do for me, hopefully we can keep a clean sheet and add to our goal difference which may be as important as a couple of points at the end of the season! COYR's FOP!

Its as simple as this. If Hooiveld plays we win. If Martin plays we draw or lose. This is where we find out how costly our lack of investment in the defence in January may be..................
..Fingers crossed Jos and Jose stay fit!!!!!

I will be happy with 0 - 1 , a win from a goal scored off some defenders backside after a misshit shot by someone not looking where they were hitting it , in the 95th minute !
That would be a win, and the record books would say we got 3 points and the Echo could start looking for the next downbeat headline for the next game.
Leeds are Saints other bogey team, Warnock super motivator, teams in white are better, we never win in games whose ground names contain the words "road".
The haedlines list is endless.
So , it is up to us to support the Saints, the Echo has another agenda.

rocketone says...

Current form guide.
9th Watford 6 3 1 2 8 11 -3 10
10th Southampton 6 2 3 1 8 4 9
So if we win it will be against a team who our doing better than us, so we are the underdogs and everyone likes the underdog!
It will be against the current run of form and therefore an upset.
They have a current international goalkeeper and our two forwards have not scored in the previous game, so we are in a barren patch.
I think I have done the Echo's job for them there!
Come on you Saints....you can beat this sh!t.

What a numpty, do you even follow Saints games? Off the top of my head, Martin played against Coventry in the FA Cup, scoring a goal, and which we won. Also, he came on at half-time vs Derby (only our last match!), where it was 1-0 at half-time, and he scored and we ended up winning 4-0. People have also said he was MOM against Millwall. He's a top prospect. In terms of lack of investment in defence, we've managed to draw with Birmingham, Cardiff and West Ham, as well as keeping clean sheets against Burnley and Derby. Some are never happy

Hammond for if Spider if he doesn't come up to scratch today, Watford bypass midfield.
Connolly because he is due a goal and impact sub is his best position now !

hat trick before half time

3:27pm Sat 25 Feb 12

Lambert clearly has his eyes on winning Championship player of the year! Not bad for a player who a lot weren't sure whether he could cut it in this league. COYR!!

Hope Adam is okay

rocketone says...
3:29pm Sat 25 Feb 12

Adam injured, typical he has just returned from injury and back to his best.
The lad we signed from Spurs has not turned out to be what we expected, so the likely replacement has to be Punch.

the pitch is winning the game, bobbles + bumps and rock hard.
This game prediction lark is a doddle.
WHU should have won.
Brum + Bpool should be winning.
Watford have the better recent form.
As I have said before, what do I know about football!

Beginning of the season and a certain well known (on here) doomngloom merchant said Ricky wouldn't score at this level and Kelvin was a liability.
top scorer + 11 clean sheets so far !

He also mentioned we needed to spend at least £10m to just survive, haven't poopey done that kind of thing before?
Nigel had no experience of success at this level.
This why we are yo-yoing between 1st + 2nd and not running away with the league.
Just a smug observation.

55% possession. 11 shots 4 of them off target, Hammy on for Chappers, Corners none!

4:42pm Sat 25 Feb 12

We are Southampton and we are top of the league.
Are there any Watford fans at the ground?
It does appear to be rather quiet.
Saints are playing volley clear and long ball, purists revolt and sack Nigel for changing tactics and having a plan B.
Chappers off, slowly recuperating and we can bring on Hammond. not bad.
still think give Ricky a rest

GX Saint says...
4:42pm Sat 25 Feb 12

All we need now is a corner - can't let this lot get a corner clean sheet

Have to say that keeping Ricky on after his third was a clanger by Nigel.

If we'd bought him, he wouldn't have scored for Celtic. So, why would we want someone who can't score goals?

Yes. Coventry ahead

because he didn't want to come and Celtic didn't want to sell him. He has a chance to win a league medal and some cup stuff and play in the Champions league, would you leave?
Do you not read the papers?

They think it's all over, it is now 3 0 and top of the league without breaking sweat. Just the injuries to worry about.

rocketone says...
5:00pm Sat 25 Feb 12

Lambert 23 goals so far, what has he been doing all season?
One legged donkey with a left eye squint playing on the right could score in this team.

DisplacedFan says...
5:00pm Sat 25 Feb 12

Last week the defence helped us out by scoring. This week RL does it all. We need some better tactics. Opposing teams don't know who is going to score.

5:01pm Sat 25 Feb 12

Please do NOT go on the News site, they are not having a good day, and it would be unkind to gloat!

Typical Ferguson. I bet he made the fourth official double the stoppage time :0)

Sounds like Poopey had the ball in the net directly from a throw. I suppose they didn't have enough players left to get anyone on the end of it!

Perhaps Confucious spent last night rubbing Buddha's belly and that's what made all the difference today.
Just imagine when TL and RS get into a scoring mode. We may injure each other lining up to score.
