    Amen to that Vin!

    They were saying on Solent today that the Cuco family had their first child over the international break and that when you speak to him seems like a lovely bloke.

    Get 'em both done Les!

    I think Cuco is fully deserving of a new contract. He has been excellent every time he's appeared this year.

    We absolutely massacred a half decent side today, the movement and passing of the whole team was great and 6 or 7 -1 would not have been an injustice. It's good to know that we can rely on the kids to step in with an injury crisis. I'm so optimistic for the rest of the season right now.

    Cuco deserves to be first choice without a doubt...

    Great Day.

    Good catching up with the lads in the pub and nice to meet Saint Cookie - you need to post more!!!

    Never in doubt.

    Lots of good performances. Virgil and Romeu once again. Steve Davis excellent again. Charlie looks like a man desperate to score goals. Nat dangerous as ever.

    However, whether he was the best player or not (probably not), Sam McQueen gets my MOTM for stepping in and playing like that. Good lad.

    We March on.

    Oh and for the record... 6 Successive Premier League clean sheets remains the match thread record :1980_boogie_down:

    I'll let saintsfcfan share the honour of 6 consecutive clean sheets with me, even if his run included a mickey mouse cup game and a couple of mickey mouse European games ... <whistle>

    All the credits rightly go to Romeu today, however a quiet word for the wee man in there with him. I thought Clasie was a great foil for him today and that with Steven Davis back to his finest ... happy days.

    Ps. I love Franny Benali

    Yes, and Clasie lasted the 90 +5.

    Benali true legend and you could feel the pride in his daughter's voice as she announced him. And she should be proud of her father.

    Did he have sub-titles or did he make sense? Just asking. I've been regaled by too many 'Ampshire lads not to!

    I mentioned that earlier thought it was brilliant! Niall Quinn iirc.

    It is bizarre. Is Catholicism rife in the New Forest or do they all have the same dad?

    Although he did seem to dive for the penalty.

    I must admit, I didn't count his fingers, so I am not sure.

    One thing that pisses me off about watching the game on sky or any other source is the commentators banging on about selling our players every year and the saying who will be next to go. We know for **** sake,you dont need to tell us everytime we play. Rant over

    There was slight contact, he stayed on his feet for a second or two then fell over in a way that looked like a dive.
