Referee being a bit of a nob penalizing Cole and West Ham so much. Would be annoyed if this was Lambert and Saints
Am I right in thinking there is no away goals rule? EDIT: There isn't I remember if there was Saints would have gone through v Derby.
Whittingham player of the year according to 442. So far he's just given the ball away constantly really.
So sooooooo great to be able to sit in front of the tele with a drink and no worries enjoying the game as a neutral rather than being at Cardiff on a wet thursday night hoping the Saints could get something from the game to take back to st marys. We are Southampton, we're premier league
I expect Cardiff might go for broke 2nd half (while their at home rather than waiting for the away leg). Will either get back in the tie or lose heavily imo
It's going to take some brilliant motivating by Malky to get Cardiff back in this. Top three this season were much better than rest of the league and it's showing, but hopefully Cardiff can make a decent game of it, if only for the comfortable and easy going neutrals!
Cardiff looking gash. West Ham making great use of the 451/433 to be first to the ball in midfield and stopping Cardiff getting any sort of momentum. Problem is that's their gameplan and it doesn't really work at home. If Cardiff get a goal back, they're right back in it.
