Soton vs WHUFC -- December 27th, 2018

Anderson keeps the ball in play down the wing, slips a ball into the middle for Perez who is blocked for a corner...

great diving save from Fabianski to deny an potentially offside Soton player...

Fabianski is so good...

but the Ref over ruled himself and the play was ruled offside...

15 minutes to go...

Here we go with the Noble substitution.... just as we give away a corner...

Noble on for Perez

Soton bring on Charlie Austin...

8 minutes to go...

bum getting squeaky...

we're playing keep ball

Antonio then goes on a run from inside our half and gets all the way to the D but then fluffs the shot under pressure and it goes well wide...

Anderson gets all the way to the by line but just hits the side netting instead of sealing the three points...

1 minute of actual time to get through this...

injury time?

bound to be some...

ugh...

4 minutes more to suffer through...

we can do this...

come on you Irons...

West Ham throw, deep inside the Soton half...

Snoddy heads for the corner but gets bundled out...

Masuaku is coming on - time wasting... but kinda pointless as the Ref will add another 30 seconds on for the sub...

Snoddy comes off to make way for Masuaku...

we're still deep inside the Soton half... but give away possession...

2 minutes to hang on...

looping cross/shot... safely into Fabianski's hands...

Anderson gets played clear... can't get in on goal... but Rice runs up to support him and his shot goes out for a corner...

we don't even get to take the corner...

whistle goes...

West Ham win...

up to 9th in the table...

another 6 points from the next two games and we can go into 2019 in good shape

then we just got to get the players back to fitness...

good game from Anderson... he really was the difference... when he plays well.. we win.

Thanks monkey, watched the first half on tv then came upstairs as a) i hate watching west ham on the box and b) was in a lot of pain, so your updates (ahead of the offish and beeb) help to ease the pain!! Good win after the watford loss. Next two are crucial six points will help to keep momentum going for when we face the big boys!! 
Happy new year Monkey keep uo the good work 

A very good win and have a good new year guys.

A Superb win on the road last night. Some might disagree with me on here but if their`s one thing that is clear about this team that Pellegrini has done that no previous manager has is he`s changed the mentality...we`ve now got a Winning mentality that all top sides have.
I truley believe that Burnley and Brighton will be tough but we`re get the 3 points from both games to ensure we finish the and bequin the new year in the top 8.

Oh what fun it is to win away ..........

Finally, we have a squad, which is just as well with the injuries we have.  A most enjoyable win, including spoiling 
the mini revival of the thugs of Southampton
