    I didn't. I appreciated that they were a team that was under-performing. What I did think though was that position for position we were the superior team. Which just shows how much we have been under-performing.

    Ain't that the truth. I hope this week has given the players the belief in the gaffer, and vice versa.

    Nothing wrong with any of our players on paper....it was as if collectively they had decided not to perform to their best. I do believe it was the initial lack of goals that robbed them of belief....it was a vicious circle. The fans all thought here we go again....and so did the players. It must have robbed them of confidence in their manager and each other. They may say that they were playing to instruction, but they still found themselves in the goal area and I'm sure Mauricio didn't instruct them not to score. I'm hoping that they are all looking over the parapet now and seeing heaven on the other side.....though this is Saints we're talking about.o_O

    Pep does not have time for a half time talk this week. Instead he has opted to talk to WHU's eleven about why they don't play football.

    Ohhhhh, he's changed his mind!

    I wonder if they'll need lots of ET in this match.

    Jose will be hoping that Fellaini is fit next weekend.

    Oh, if only we'd followed West Ham and Huddersfield's leads in putting away the opportunities that City give up at corners.

    Watching ManC v WHU cause I'm bored enough and although ManC have just scored though Silva, all the chat people have been going 2-1, or YESSS.! for about the last 20 minutes in order to piss others off. Quite comical to see people loosing it in text. ;)

    I actually feel for WHU, even though it suits us that teams below us lose points. It sucks....and we know it.

    That's how you win titles...not by being brilliant every game, but by being able to snatch wins. Mostly talent, but also a smattering of belief.

    This.

    What a prick he is, only cares about his attention and ego. Completely wrong to have a 'gameplan' for the game... You're the ****ing ref <doh>

    Absolutely, the league title situation shouldn’t enter into the decisions a ref makes in a match, each incident should be judged on its own merits. If a player deserves a red card, he should get one, regardless of the team’s position in the league. You could argue that Clattenburg actually gave Tottenham an unfair advantage over Leicester by acting the way he did.

    So is this not admitting that he cheated?

    There should not be a game plan other than acting to the letter of the law!
