Southampton V West ham United FC

As things stand at present, I've got an overwhelming desire to hide under the duvet until this one is all over. Anyone got any spare mindless optimism pills?? 

I was going to say much the same thing SOI. And my hair dresser and gym instructor are both spuds  

We are not going to win against this bunch of thugs, much like we didn't against Stoke.

It could be embarrassing, hence, I'm off out t' club.

Not an avid watched of Southampton, they are often fast forwarded through MOTD to get to us (invariably last on the schedule), but from what I've seen of them they got some decent players who play quite attractive, passing football?

We will cream them , positive thinking people 
            

Looks like young Morrison is going to get a start

Some of the boys having a look through mens mags before the game

Jussi, Demel, Collins, Reid, O'Brien, Noble, Nolan, Diame, Morrison, Jarvis, Maiga

Subs: Adrian, Rat, Tomkins, Collison, Taylor, Lee, Vaz Te

 Maiga upfront again FFS why don't Sam just give RVT a chance upfront today !?!?

I would rather have Vaz Te up front and play the game on the floor

You beat me to it Arran

Thing with Maiga is he doesn`t seem to want to put his body on the line and try and win a header like Carroll does or even Cole did when he played for us and that is what annoys me the most , I could put up with striker who doesn`t score but at least puts his body on the line to try and score etc like Carroll and Cole .

I even feel that Elliot Lee would and could do a better job then Maiga !

I see Noble still there to give the ball away.

Maiga is never going to be an all-action centre forward like Andy Carroll and to be fair he wins his fair share of headers. What frustrates me is his lack of movement off the ball and his seeming inability to offer himself as a option for the players coming from midfield. We heard during pre-season that he had been encouraged to run the channels and show more. I have seen little evidence of this to date.

Its on the box over here today      

Morrison starts. Should be interesting! COYI!

Come on West Ham its been a while since we beat these ****,s at their gaff 

Some good play there from WH

Well done Yussi

Stupid back pass from the skipper could of cost us 

Yellow for Diame ... Twat
