People underestimate Tiote's impact on the shape of our midfield, when he's not playing Cabaye is never as effective because he's playing deeper. Same goes for Anita, he's not a defensive player. He likes the ball at his feet and Tiote's battling in midfield allows Anita to do that.

Down to 10 men, there for the taking now.

We have been fucking shit, worst performance of the season this by a mile.

Let's get at these boring cunts.

We need the first goal today, we struggle when we go behind. Need a good positive start.

I was going to say you don't believe in that "who start's the thread" bullshit do you...

How so?

Anywhere in town showing this tomorrow lads?

Gourcuff has scored and had a blinder for Lyon this afternoon. Weren't we linked with him? Then again we've been linked with every decent player in France. Gomis scored also.

They've all come out the woodwork today, fickle scumbags

South East Corner is where the chanting is if that floats your boat.

Fucking hell!

Pards is favourite at the bookies for the Tottenham job

So your happy with the way we were set out in the second half Tom?

If we had come out second half on the front foot the game could have been sown up. Yes it was a counter attack from a free kick but they had most of the play running up to that and took the initiative second half. I know you like to defend Pardew but he got it wrong after half time. We still played some decent stuff second half and he made positive subs, but we started second half in the wrong fashion IMO mate.

Regardless of the draw I have to say that was one of the games I really enjoyed so far. Southampton play some good football and the game could have swung either way. Remy missed two absolute sitters that is slightly worrying but we played some brilliant football first half and in spells the second. The one thing that should be said is the way Pardew set us out second half. We sat back as per trend and invited pressure, which ultimately culminated in their goal. We really should be more ruthless and play to finish games off. Sitting back, especially against good footballing sides like Southampton, is not playing to our strengths. That is the worrying thing about today and has been a problem all season. Play to our strengths and we can give anyone a game. Sissoko was brilliant first half, but sitting behind the ball neutralizes that threat.

Naughty boy!

I laughed !

The less I see of Fat Sam's ugly mug in the media the better so I am all for the proverbial silence on West Ham's plight. In fact I am quite enjoying his silent demise.

Stevie Taylor is the Joker

Who's who?

In the FA Cup.

They only needed to show the goal that won the game to be fair

Another quality player to come through Ajax, he struggled when he first arrived but has been brilliant this season. We look solid with him, Tiote and Cabaye in the middle.

They are as thick as mince.
