Just put a tenner on Graziano to be the Premier League top scorer this season....100/1 @ Coral (too good to miss)
He is going to miss a load of chances but he just seems to have the knack of being in the right place at the right time, I can see him getting 15-20 and there is no Biter this season as well.
 
Sometimes being awake at 3.30 in the morning is a pain in the ass. Sometimes you get to see the Saints deliver a brilliant performance against a pain in the ass team! Wicked game, loved watching the team play fluidly together and I think only going to get better! Pelle was a rock I thought, honestly he's going to give the opposition such a hard time if this is how he's starting out. He was mobile, had a good touch today, won headers and hit the target again and again. Also loved his reaction after scoring, felt like 2minutes while he checked every official and replay camera before cracking a smile. Personality too.

TBF the first half was a pretty dismal affair, one chance on target for all the possession was pretty depressing. 2nd half made all that disappear. West Ham were absolutely shameful in their team spirit. Alex Song must've been shrinking into his designer suit and baseball cap, Barca to this.. yeesh.

RonKo need to sort out their setpiece takers tho, Tadic struck the freekick well ..into the wall but does age come before time served on the squad?

I have a feeling Koeman has a pretty good Fergie like 'hairdryer treatment' that he uses at half time. I heard he wasn't at all happy in the dressing room at half-time in the Millwall game and we came out a completely different proposition and then again yesterday. I am liking Koeman more and more as each game passes.
 
Ref Jose's captaincy: nice touch at the end yesterday. The team was doing the usual thing of standing over our side of the centre circle applauding our fans. After a bit of this they were starting to turn away.

Jose physically grabbed a few of them, shouted to the others and dragged them over to our corner. Then (cue swoon from at least one poster) Jose, Dusan and others took their shirts off an threw them into the crowd. Great moment and a terrific bit of leadership. It's be good to see that become a regular thing.

I like that although I hope it won't adversely affect replica shirt sales- RK won't be pleased at giving away the merchandise! Class from Fonte though.
