    We thought our defense was bad last year! :P Southampton are doomed, 4 points after over a quarter of the season is shocking! I don''t mind them as a club but that''s one relegation place taken and our record as the only club to achieve back to back promotions to the prem and stay there remains :) They''ve spent a lot of money as well which really puts into perspective what an amazing achievement the last 3 years was for us. I know it sounds like I''m jumping the gun but I can''t see any way they''re getting out of this.

    Butterfield looked good when he got on the ball but he struggled to get into the game at times and looked exhausted towards the end, I''m sure when he gets a few games under his belt he will be quality! Whittaker and Bunn who were arguably the most boring, uninspiring signings of the summer both look excellent. It wasn''t the best performance but I am very pleased at the moment!

    He''s got everything you''d want from a CAM except a quality final ball at this level, and his decision making isn''t the best as others have said. He doesn''t possess anything like for example, Lansburys ball to Holt for his second against Ipswich at home. He just can''t play balls like that so often resorts to trying one two''s on the edge of the box to get himself in which most defenders are too clever to allow at this level or plays it wide. He''s a quality player and he makes us tick but all of his work very rarely ends up creating goals.

    Results went our way today assuming Swans and West Ham won''t be down there. I''m going for a 3-2 loss today with a good performance to set us up for the more winnable Villa game. Also I''d be very worried if I was a Saints fan, looks like our record of being the only team to achieve back to back promotions to the PL and survive isn''t under and threat xD

    Same thing happened every time he got on the ball at Drurys testimonial. He was a special player and getting to see him do it one more time last July was amazing.

    Huckerby was the better and more exciting player, but Holt has been far more influential in his time here, has been a massive part of us getting from League 1 to where we are now. I''d have to side with Holt in this debate but just imagine our side now with Holt scoring goals, playing well and a 27 year old Huckerby on the left wing...We certainly wouldn''t be worrying about relegation that''s for sure!

    AT LEAST next year we can rely on Holt to get us 20+ goals in the championship next year which will give us a great chance of bouncing back. I think Hughton is a good manager and the squad is good enough to survive but it''s just not happening for us this year.

    I don''t think today was Hughtons fault, one hazard costs the same as our entire squad. I blame cun*s like Ibramovich/Fernandez and SKY for ruining football in this country and making it impossible for clubs like us to compete.

    Surman is a top player technically, but he''s poor anywhere other than on the left side of the diamond. Hoolahan would be much more effective on the left of a 442 than Surman even if that''s not his best position. I also think he''s better defensively as well so I honestly don''t see why Surman gets picked ahead of him.

    I always try to stay optimistic but it''s becoming very clear that Hughton isn''t up to the job. Sacking a manager after 6 games sounds stupid but we HAVE to stay up this year with the extra tv money coming in and how strong a lot of championship teams are now, we could very easily in 2 seasons time find ourselves in another championship relegation battle if we''re not careful. The obvious problem though is that there''s nobody else out there I can think of suitable to replace Hughton :/

    Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has spoken to referees'' chief Mike Riley about the way officials have treated his team this season.

    Basically means they are going to get EVERY single decision on Saturday now. Sticking a £10 on them getting a penalty on Saturday will be like buying money!
