Thoroughly enjoyed yesterday, not disappointed at all!

I forgot to reward it though, is it available on catchup?

Great game and atmosphere. Saints much the better team but the wrong result. Dishing out the scarves was a nice touch.

Great day, great performance and so happy we turned up. Bizarrely I am not as disappointed as I thought, never thought we would win, and left satisfied that we put on such a great display. Let's follow it up at Watford, and not lose 1-0 in a whimper like we usually do after an epic display

Yeah it's on Channel 5 catch up (My5 I think??).

Watched it again and cannot believe we lost....gutted!!

Was a great day though. We played very well for the majority, just gave away 3 very cheap goals imo (ok the freekick was good). If we can keep that level of performance going for the rest of the season, I'll be happy.

Even had Man U fans on the way home (obviously they all live down south ;-) ) saying that we were the better team and should have won.

Anyway, Gabbiadini...what a player!

Leaking goals like no tomorrow but as long as you score one more than the opposition, it's three points!

A hard earned (and very much needed) 3 points, although the game should have been wrapped up mid-way through the second half.

Gabbiadini is looking like a steal at the moment.

We miss Virgil.

3 points but leaking too many at the back

How we let Watford score 3 goals is beyond me as they were dreadful. Reminded me of the Watford of old. Big team and very physical.
We went to sleep for 10 minutes in the 2nd half and allowed them to get back to 2 each, then sloppy defending for their 3rd.
We now look really threatening when going forward. Tadic is playing his best football of the season and Gabbiadini looks real class and a steal at £14 million.
After 9 games in January we now have 2 games in March !!
Fixture list is mad. We will probably have 7 games in April and May !!

And very well deserved it was - thought he was excellent.

Definitely one of his better games in a Saints shirt.

Just watched the U23s against Chelsea - finished 0-0.

Have to say Caceres looks a class act - ultra composed on the ball and hits the target with just about every long pass.

Gutted I didn't spot that it was at St Marys this time, and free entry frown

Heard plenty of good things about Caceras. Very Virgil-esque in his movement and delivery, apparently.

I saw that earlier on FB and voted for him.

Then, I stopped and though "I'm a total dick! Why draw attention to him? Let everyone think he's st, then no one will try and buy him come summertime!"

Should have voted Kane!

Too late for that - Mourinho made a beeline to shake hands with Gabbiadini after the final, plus he mentioned the guy's finishing in his post final interview.

Just three games in and already there are those trying to turn the player's head - must be a record, even for Saints. laugh

The England squad looks like it has a lot of Saints/ex Saints players in it. Almost the Saints youth team of 5 years ago. 4 current players in there so the academy must have done some good things over the years
