    The BBC text commentary clearly said Alli kicked McCarrthy in the shin... Pretty sure if Mccarthy had done the same to Alli it would have been a pen and a red card for violent conduct...

    Fats gets rid of season ticket: we become rubbish.

    There was one disabled lad sitting with his mum a couple of seats away from us and he kept shouting ...... "****ing Brilliant" over and over every time we made a good move or put in a strong tackle. His mum asked him "Please don't say that word" and he turned round to her and said "I don't get to say 'Brilliant' very often when we come here" ...... and off he went again ...... "****ing Brilliant". His mum just shook her head, smiled at us and gave up.

    It's things like that makes sitting with the disabled crowd such a joy. Seeing their faces light up and getting high fives going round when things are positive is fantastic but also it's remarkable when things are tough, and we aren't performing well, that they all still shout for the team and clap as much as they can. They are a great bunch and I feel so pleased that their week is going to be that bit brighter because of how we played.

    Yeah sure.

    Villa 1 Saints 3
    Chelsea 0 Saints 2
    Saints 1 Palace 1
    Saints 1 Spurs 0

    Not a bad effort. I’ve won us 10pts, and likely earned us another season in the Premier League.

    You’re welcome, folks!

    Don’t put out a weakened thread for the cup though. Momentum is everything.

    Defensive performance of the season, probably the best since VVD died (so sad).

    We are putting so many tackles in while retreating - this game and last it’s a real difference.

    Such a team effort now, whatever has galvanized them it is working. Long may it last.

    Amazing run in what has been a tough set of fixtures, very important considering the other results today, it’s crazy how tight the league is this year .

    I feel it’s my duty to point out the adage don’t get too low when you lose, don’t get too high when you win. You could be stacking supermarket shelves again next week sunshine.

    Good luck trying to console me if we lose to Hudders at the weekend.


    I'm still dreaming of an Accrington style cup tie.

    Just heard Mourinho moaning about VAR on Sky....ran it back and listened again....still made no sense.
    Can only translate it as 'moan, lost game, not fair, whinge'.

    It was a half hearted whinge really, he knew the yellow card incident was all he needed to detract from the poor performance.

    When we were at our worst a few games back, one or two posters said a period in the Championship might not be a bad thing. I've never believed that. Today is why we should always want to be in the top league IMO. They don't come around all that often but when they do days like this are memorable. It was just great, I'm still buzzing.

    Oh and just a quick word about Mike Dean. Knob.

    Whoever thought that SFC would get 10 points over the festive season prior to the game against Villa would have been carted off to the funny farm.
