Thanks ER. Reading the round up was an awful lot better than watching the Saints today......

I thought our day had been bad until I saw your comments on the Buddies game against the soap dodgers.

That the stuff Edge. Well done Foxes today, could gave been 3-0 in first 20 mins.

[Alison]

Bring on the Boro, Monday.

Ah wis ragin', sainty!!!!!!! No wins at home at all so the pressure got to them... Anyway, Happy New Year all of you out there...I'm going to see the Southern Saints in a couple of weeks with my Turfmoor cousins, ts, by the way. I'll have split loyalties that day.

Southampton clearly had too much figgy pudding. MOTD was not pretty viewing. I missed the beginning, so will need to catch United on iPlayer (unless it's repeated this morning).

Update: The repeat is on at 8.15

What a dire game at the Boro. Happy with a point I suppose.

Good work once again Rob.

Still, 4 points in a couple of days is no so bad, Alison. What you need now is to go on a run like you did a couple of years back when everyone thought you were down and out.
Great reports, Rob, as ever. Thanks!

Looks like your Burnley Rellies might be in for an enjoyable afternoon in a couple of weeks time, JC. Saints seem to have forgotten both how to defend and how to attack.

Thanks to ER for his fine work over the Xmas schedule, great stuff as ever.

Southern Sainties unsettled by the forthcoming arrival of the dreaded transfer window, ts?

Poor Mike Phelan.

[Alison]

Anyone bothered about the Cup?
