    Arsenal away now is effectively a free game. We will be under no pressure - anything we get will be a bonus.

    As the ball came over, Charlie had so much time that he had time to think "Nice ball... let's see if I can get on the end of it... I hope people will also credit me for getting the free kick... if I get service like this I'll be breaking twenty a season... wonder why no-one's bothered to mark me.. best put it away I suppose... bang!"

    Austin said his strength is being in the right place at the right time. :)

    Solent telling us that Manchester lost because they had an off day.

    Swelling with pride after todays performance! A massive shout out to Matty Targett in my opinion.. Was superb and kept Lingard very quiet!

    Another miss hit cross from JWP I expect, he was aiming for VVD.

    Charlie Austin has scored more premier league goals this season than Eden Hazard :)

    Hats off to Guy Mowbray summarising for MOTD: "Let this be Southampton's day".

    Austin taking mere minutes, to prove he didn't need to 'go to Newcastle and be a cult hero'.

    Terrible match, but this threads positivity saw us through

    Hopefully the first of many from Mr. Austin

    Foullaini's elbow would have prevented that, luckily he didn't make in to the 2nd half.

    Man U really weren't that bad, IMO. They're not the Man U of old both in terms of talent or mystique but that game was played at a pretty high pace for the most part.

    I worried we might get tired after the way we chased everything in the first half, but fortunately we have some firepower off the bench now.

    Man U probably had more possession but for the most part we kept them pinned back and contained. They put in a shift as well, though.

    I'd say that Man U looked like a decent-but-not-great side. But we played very well and did enough to edge them. So a 1-0 win late, capitalizing on a mistake from them seems a fair result. I guess that's not what you're expecting or looking for if you are a Man U supporter but that's their reality now. They ran up against a good club who was just a bit sharper and maybe a bit quicker today.
