Article: Saints v Palace match thread: Southampton Fc, football

Let off there!

 

Heart-rate was going there. Always said Martin Atkinson is a great ref...!

 

Great call on replay; I thought it was a pen initially, but it was a definite dive.

 

That's a penalty, we've got so lucky there

 

Palace do look a very legitimate threat on the counter, though, with Kebe and Gayle running off Chamakh.

Goal please goal please goal please goal please.

 

Ditto. He was going down before Boruc even got there.

 

Showed a different angle and he pulled his feet back and began going down before he reached Boruc.

 

If we don't beat these I'm going to be pretty disappointed. Their defenders are terrible.

 

Jedinak and Dikgacoi aren't, however.

 

Not terrible, but not good either. Palace's team is incredibly average.

 

Corner to Saints...

 

Pretty uninspiring stuff thus far...Palace has looked as dangerous touching the ball once every three minutes as we have with the bulk of possession.

 

Here at the match. My findings so far:

Dull, dull, unbearably dull.

Lualaba having a shocker.

Wanyama is like Bambi on ice.

 

Lualaba?

Wanyama's playing well... I'd say.

 

A very open game.

 

Great pass from Steven Davis. Good covering tackle too.

 

Sitting in the lounge at Heathrow - 68% posession, but only 3 shots ??

 

If not more for me, although that may be a feeling created by my extreme anxiety.

 

Third corner in about a minute. Could do with Adam beating the first man...

 

Tomo on sky who is the pundit for our game has changed his mind and said it was a definite dive, the ref was correct.
