Thanks for that. Loved the fact that amongst all the foreign words, one of them suddenly said 'fantastic skill' after Adam's goal.

 

Just because he said it on MOTD, he feels he has to keep saying it. The man's a twat. Mind you, not sure I agree with the Saints fan who thinks Cork should go!

 

Those were all incredible goals in their own way!

 

I thought he had a pretty good game bar a little bit of nervous distribution - I didn't blame any of the goals on him and he made some excellent, truly excellent, saves.

I refer him to the Guardian comment someone posted a couple of days ago: 'If all things are equal, I would always take the younger player. But all things are not equal...Lambert is a far better player than Carroll'.

Couldn't put it better myself.

 

Hmm, 'Robbie, we want your role to be devils advocate, talk ****, they'll love it and call in' Yes, I see what your'e saying.

 

Robbie Savage doesn't need to be told to talk ****, he does it quite naturally.

 

Indeed. I suspect this is his true nature. Annoying to most of the population, apart from those that see him as a bit 'quirky'

 

Isn't it interesting that when Lambert plays well, our attack scores loads of goals? We're reliant on Rickie as his form affects our attack.

 

Another superb performance. Could have had a few more goals, but delighted that all 3 front men got theirs. Perfect afternoon.

 

That was great. It wasn't quite as one sided as Fulham. At least Newcastle looked like they might do something on the break-but never did of course.
It wasn't actually the best match: I think that the Arsenal game wins that crown. What it certainly was, was a comprehensive victory showing what makes Saints so good to watch at the moment. Great team spirit and an obvious desire to play for each other and the individual brilliance of our best players in top form. A nice bottle of red tonight as I start to cook something to eat. Then to watch MOTD and listen to all the praise about to be heaped on our players. All is well in the Fodder household, I hope you all have a great weekend.

 

Lff managed to phone in, then.

 

Cheers. Rib eye steak tonight with crispy chips, mushrooms and a bottle of Rioja.

 

Well that was alright.

Wow.

 

I will be round at eight. You are going to need another bottle.....

 

Well, I'm bloody glad I decided to go. I was right next to the Newcastle fans as well. I honestly couldn't believe it was still 0-0 after 20 minutes. Credit to Rob Elliot, he made some great saves.

 

Would have been 4 0 at ht if it wasn't for their keeper.

 

Won't stop Savage from saying he's off to Man United in the summer.

 

Wow, a name check. I'm honoured!

Now you come to mention it, if Gerrard got injured…………And Cork almost got into the opponents penalty area today

 

He showed today why he rarely shoots
