    West Ham completely conrolled the game in cardiff today. We played it around nicely with patient build up and made a mockery of all the hoofball rubbish opposing fans throw at us.

    Stark contrast to your desperate smash and grab last night against an average Leeds side where you only managed one real effort..

    You lead us by a point but the game in hand will be crucial.

    We are the bookies favourites for the title and we're really starting to get into gear.

    Its gonna be close but I think we have the edge. COYI.

    Don't chirp too early. I wasn't impressed at all by West Ham's method. But a good win nonetheless.

    Let's be honest, Cardiff were utter dross. I'd expect you to win that match as it was. If you were playing Leeds on their form I couldn't see you winning easily.

    To be honest even if you are 20 points clear at the top at the end of the season, if we are in second I'm happy. COYR!

    Couldn't give a **** about the title,i just wanna finish in the top 2! also don't think you were that good! Cardiff were absolutely shocking! but fair play to get the win.Also correct me if i'm wrong but we did actually win yesterday! 3 points is 3 points no matter how you get them!! Maybe when you have a bit of spare time you can come down to Southampton and we'll show you how to play at home?!

    As long as your lot thrash Boro, Reading, Birmingham and Hull when you play them, I don't mind if you win the rest as well. Drop points against them though and we're going to have words.

    Wait, how did you play at St Mary's? Oh that's right. Punted long balls all game to Carew. Only ever got 2 or 3 forward for 80 mins. Scared to attack, parked the bus. We dominated you all game long.

    I disagree. We have close to a whole new team and you cant just throw a team together and expect it to perform straight away. In fact, its amazing we're doing as well as we are.

    The team is really starting to gel and get into gear now and that is bad news for everyone else.

    Last night aside, you still look seriously good and the title could still go either way.

    We will be the top 2 sides in the division - of that I am certain. I think we will finish top but I would take second as I suspect you would.

    Don't forget that we have the experience of handling the pressure of a tight promotion run-in, last season. We got better at the end of the season, just like Manure usually do and we have to play most of our games against teams in the bottom half of the table.

    Actually, I wouldn't be too certain of that. Reading are making an ominous run, and someone has to beat them soon to check their confidence, otherwise it could be a close 3 horse race, with any 2 from the 3.

    We've come a long way since then. The team looks very different and the style is very different since we have gelled.

    There is more than one way to win away - you still get 3 points

    Reading will fade. Their form isnt sustainable.

    I wouldn't be that certain. Anyhow, we'll see.

    Your home form is excellent and you play some great stuff. No one could argue otherwise. This thread is about the contrasting performance between our away win today and your away win last night.

    Good win today,but you still have a lot of tricky games to come,A Leicester,A Leeds,H Reading and H Birmingham look real tricky.
    Congratulations on keeping 11 players on the pitch today too.

    You are a threat. But to keep your current form up until the end of the season would take an incredible effort.
