Saints accept FA charge
Saints have been fined £20,000 by the Football Association after accepting the charge of failing to control their players during last weekend's 0-0 draw at Norwich.
The club were charged earlier this week in light of the reaction to referee Mark Clattenburg's decision to award the Canaries a penalty in added time at Carrow Road.
The official was surrounded by a number of angry Saints players, while manager Mauricio Pochettino confronted him on the pitch after the final whistle, despite Artur Boruc having kept the spot kick out.
A statement from the FA said: "The FA has today fined Southampton £20,000 after they admitted a charge of failing to control their players."

Only time will tell if what is going on at st Mary's is going to work out or not, say what you like about cortèse he likes a challenge... Even throws in his own obstacles! They say there's a very thin line between genius and insanity, sacking Adkins when it appeared the corner was turned was a big decision that cortèse will have to stand by. The off shot of that is dividing the fans, rumour of not treating people correctly and risking our premier league status, was it necessary? Will all the flack be worth it? One thing for sure cortèse doesn't like an easy life!

That'd be good.
But to be fair, if Lawrenson was Egyptian and wasn't so short and fat with blotchy fair skin, a bulbous nose and ratty eyes, I think he would look exactly like Omar Sharif.

And MU's Ferdinand claps in the referee's face after the Real Madrid defeat and gets rewarded with a recall to the England squad.

Furthermore, being a bit of a prude, I have not had any sex at all for 12 months and I've got the receipt to prove it.

Passion, aggression, power, speed etc all good if they're controlled, this is where discipline plays its part. Mp IMO should have approached the ref one to one away from the camera's, media and more importantly his players and expressed his opinion. He is the leader/manager and has opened the door hopefully not flood gate and said by example, that its ok to behave like that. Players will take any excuse, decisions will go against us but also for us, play to the whistle not cry and give up. That is not the type of football southampton played in the past and I wouldn't want to see it in the future, get a grip lads.
