Well pleased. We were much the better team on the day. Only concern is that I think we'd have struggled to score if it weren't for the own goals! Clyne destroyed Delafayhooooo and Coleman struggled with Shaw, and being that I'd class Coleman as the best RB in the league, that was good to see.
Thought big Vic was much better than recent performances, but jesus we need another forward! Big Sam out in a good shift, but he's not there yet and though it pains me to say it SRL is only going on way.
Good game though and a good day out. Bagged some bargains in the shop afterwards!

any idea why Hibbert was getting abuse by your fans .
It was from a bunch of guys next to me dressed in dinner tuxes (they do it for charity once a year). Abuse is probably strong....more abusive banter!Basically consisted of asking him not to steal the corner flag, pointing out it doesn't have wheels, asking him to give us a wave, scoring his warm-up routine "7!" (like that boring dancing show) and doing the can-can music when he jogged. It went on for about 20mins and he never once looked over.
He only acknowledged them and smiled when someone pointed out to them that they'd in fact been calling him Kenny Hibberd for 20mins, and his name is actually Tony. I'd say he won

As a Hammers supporter I empathise with you lot. It seems no matter how well a team is doing, and So'ton have done very well since promotion, there are always people (often journalists) wanting to write stories about the best players going here there and everywhere. Fortunately we've been so st this year that no one will want our ones (although Mo Diame thinks he's off to a top 4 club 
) I find it refreshing to see clubs like Southampton doing well and it will be a shame if it all comes crashing down after just a few years...

I agree (and equally empathise with Hammers fans as I see the correlation). Similarly, when we pull off a big win against a top team the papers seem to waffle on at length at how poorly the opposition played, and analyse their weaknesses, rather than write a piece on the strength of Soton. It's almost as though the win was unjust. That's been the case for as long as I remember. Even MOTD footage of Soton has always seemed to be brief or concentrated on the opposing teams if it's a "big" game courtesy of the opposition rather than Saints.t this year that no one will want our ones (although Mo Diame thinks he's off to a top 4 club ) I find it refreshing to see clubs like Southampton doing well and it will be a shame if it all comes crashing down after just a few years...Despite a general indifference by neutrals in respect of the Saints (and at best a slight admiration in the way that the British love an underdog), the press always seem to be a little anti-Saints or write off good results as fortune.
We have always had a strong academy but have struggled to offer the top level of football befitting some of these star youth team players. It's always been a crying shame to raise such players and then see them depart, only for the ££s to then be returned to shareholders or to be squandered on some failures. You see it happen in Holland with Feyenoord and PSV (to a lesser extent).
