I was thinking this as well. I would love him back.

 

Kompany should have got a second yellow.

 

Sunderland really haven't learnt their lesson have they?

 

Nope they really haven't.

 

2 x fouls on keeper. 2 goals given. Consistent.

 

Sunderland/Mannone are ****e.

 

Speroni was either brave or just plain stupid to say he could carry on in the Palace goal. That elbow that Dawson did to him was really bad. Right in the soft temple. And Dawson looked to be doing it on purpose as well. Looked ugly.

 

I think Dawson might just get some retrospective action for that, as the ref didn't do anything. He certainly deserves a ban for dangerous play. Could have been really nasty.

 

Not sure I would, I want to remember RL as the Saints Gladiator leading the line and banging the goals in. It is bad enough seeing him sat frustrated at Liverpool, I would not like to see that at St Mary's after all the greatness he did for our beloved club.
I think from a Saints only perspective this move worked well. We got some money for a player on the down slope, we replaced with a very good centre forward and as fans we keep the memory of Rickie in his absolute pomp!

 

Palace game? Didn't think Foster was fouled.

 

The elbow on speroni is disgusting in my opinion. Could have done a lot of damage.

 

Yep, hard to trust playing against a player who does that.

 

Two Saints fans combining for Burnley, Ings scores from Jutkiewicz's good ball.

 

And Sam Vokes is a Saints fan too.....Kinda funny that we have a Burnley fan as one of our strikers

 

I'm rooting for Burnley and Leicester this season, although obviously not when we play them....QPR, Sunderland and Palace to go down I hope

 

I can't see the bottom from where we are...would give me neck ache. #unattractivelysmug

 

Any news of that, or is he going to get away with it..?

In other news, ManU v Chelsea. I find myself in the absurd position today of wanting ManU to win a football match. Don't get me wrong, on a level of 1 to 10, it's around 5-6, so it's its no big deal. Besides, I still have a tiny soft spot for Chelsea after my Mum made me a Chelsea kit nearly 50 years ago, simply because it was too difficult to make a Saints one.

But if ManU win today we stay in close contact with Chelsea, with a better GD too. As every pundit and his dog keeps saying to us, you won't be able to keep it up. That maybe so, maybe not so. At least we could do with the teams around us failing. That will help. And anyway, only yesterday I heard John Hartson and Steve Claridge starting to make a case [albeit knowingly a little one] for Saints to make the top4.

Pundits beginning to take proper notice..! How about that..?

I hope Leicester stay up ( I think they will ) . NP is a top manager IMHO .

 

Poor Spurs. Played a lot of pretty tippy-tappy stuff in the first half by all accounts, but are now 2-1 down at home.

 

Noooo....poor Poch
