Article: Match Thread: SAINTS vs Fulham | Southampton FC, Football

Haha I'm the same. As a whole I'm very optimistic about our progress and our future, but as soon as the team sheets are out on a match day the fear starts creeping in to the point where at kick-off I am fearing the worst at every turn. Another goal in the first ten minutes and I might just be able to relax properly.

 

Fulham were terrible. Embarrassing display from them.

Still, you can only play what's in front of you and Saints are taking advantage. Wouldn't mind seeing Lee get a bit of a runout as a reward for plaing hard in reserves. Hopefully we get an early goal and can rest some players.

 

Sascha Riether replaced by Aaron Hughes.

 

Never have I been sadder to be working on a Saturday

 

Tadanari Lee: Human Victory Cigar.

 

Pressing has been lax in our own half thus far this half.

 

Yep. Need to ramp up the pressure again, or they might get a shot at goal.

 

I've been trying hard to keep my feet on the ground so far but this probably the best Saints team of my 22 years alive (Strachans 02/03 team being the best so far). Just how far can we go?

 

The best I've seen us play.

 

How did Fulham manage to get a shot, very worrying

 

Had that ended with Shaw scoring his first, that would have been an all-timer.

 

This is really quite something.

 

Lee to come on and score just for the ****s

 

Let's get a third...I demand Lee, dammit.

 

Bloody hell Jay!

 

Whoa.

 

Ooooooh Jay, been so close to scoring two incredible goals today.

 

He's been taking notes from Osvaldo in training it seems!

 

Wow that was close

 

Rodriguez man of the match!! he just oozing class out there.!
