    Could have been a pen, but the ref seemed to want to help us out a bit tonight. Stunning goal, but that's what we hoped for when we bought him.

    Hope things take an upturn for you lads soon.

    Need to see it again but it looked like it. Looked like Vic rolled him and had feet tripped.

    It's the goal that's annoyed me. Good finish but should never have had that much time. The ball was cleared out to the half way line and came straight back in to the right hand edge of the box route 1 stylie. Billy ****ing Jones is strolling out in a different world not concentrating and not alert to covering his position. He's a dog **** footballer. A shining example of why we're so ****e.

    This sums up my expression and general feeling about football at the moment. I really hope something happens soon to turn things round.

    It was a pack of breaded ham. Refs a vegetarian. Do you reckon it was planned.

    Funny if true.

    As MCB stated earlier that was a hit n hope shot. Some go miles over the bar, some hit the corner flag but against SAFC they seem to just fly in.

    It's that conspiracy against Sunderland, I'm telling you.

    It wasn't a hit and hope at all. If that's what you think you don't understand football. He turned his man who wasn't close enough and bent it into the top bin. It was a great finish.

    Just seen a short clip but we laid off him he had nobody to pass to and just lashed it. Fortunately for him it thundered in and he will claim he meant it.Not in my opinion.

    Bit harsh on Jones there Bri as he was coming out in line. The header could not have landed better for the kid and whether he meant it or not it was a super strike.

    Are you kidding? You can keep your line and pull across. It's what fullbacks do, bread and butter especially in an age where most wide men cut in, they have to, if they don't they caught out of position like has happened here. then he's trying to over correct his mistake by closing him down fast and the player uses Jones' own momentum against him to turn inside out and hang him out to dry. He wasn't switched on to the danger and it was a chain reaction to his original error imo. Pants well and truely down.

    Following on from LTL just want to say unlucky tonight.

    Was a dire game which looked nailed on for et before that worldy. That's why he's our record signing though.

    Good luck for rest of season <ok>

    That was pretty much our best 11 available at the minute (even the likes of defoe and pienar getting thrown on from the bench) and we've gone and got beat off of a Southampton reserve side, we can moan about how it's typical for us to concede a goal like that or that we should have had a penalty but the fact remains that we've put out a strong side against their reserves still got beat and I don't think any of us are particularly surprised. The winning goal was a screamer and a worthy winner of any game, I just fear for what Arsenals first team will do to us on Saturday after we've shown that we can't even get a result against Southampton's second string.

    OK then, using that premise why not include the person who headed the ball direct to a Ston who headed it in the direction of the goal scorer. It was route one stuff that came off for them. A foot either way then no bother. Diverting a huge slice of luck onto Jones' shoulders is harsh.

    It's his position to cover, nobody elses. Undone by a stright direct ball, bread and butter balls, defending basics, and he's turned inside out. aye, just unlucky. Lets agree to disagree.

    A better fullback would have gotten closer to his man as he would have anticipated the ball coming across that split second earlier.

    It's all about fine margins and the point I'm making (or trying to) is that we're simply not good enough.

    I thought the goal was a gem!
    I thought it was a blatant trip - Moyes, Annichebe, and the BEIN Sports commentator saw it the same way.
