I've not looked, but they've probably researched it on Wikipedia

"Fantastic away support assisted by the lads on the park keeping the home fans quiet (Christ they were loud when they did go for it!). MOM for me was Jack Cork or Yoshida, both were tireless and tackled well. "
From the Soton forum. I agree, the atmosphere was ace at times, we really could have ripped into them after the first 45 mins, but everyone got behind them and it was top notch.

I was about to go fucking apeshit with Jerome when he hit it ;D I think I said something like: "ohferfuooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAGHYGEGNUGUBRJEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!" As the ball travelled from his foot to the back of the net. Massive relief... didn't think we deserved to lose based on the whole performance over 90 minutes, but we couldn't have complained if we did. Missed Shawcross's ability, strength and organisation. I don't think Upson is a bad defender, but it seemed to take ages for the team to twig that he couldn't play the same way that Ryan does. Shotton probably most consistent defender, lots of attacking intent too. That was NZonzi's worst game for us (even before the sending off), but he was coming back into it more towards the end. (I actually think him going off helped us chase the game, as it meant the ball kept going forward no matter what) Whelan excellent again. Four strikers on the pitch Went into Delilah's afterwards and my day was further made by seeing this live:

Their fans were easily the loudest from the aways I've been to this season.
Stoke were the loudest opposition fans we've seen this season
I've done every away game for the last few years and they're probably the best [home fans] we've seen that I can think of.
Last couple of games it's been great having a half decent atmosphere back.

What a bloody great mental when it went in ;D

Just seen it again. Jesus fucking Christ. From where I was sitting it looked like it was coming back out again. Only when it hit the side netting did I go nuts. Now if only Crouch got some power on that header

I wound up the Southampton fans on twitter ;D, I thought that yellow, yellow, yellow song is most tedious thing I've ever heard, how can you sing a song about the away top?.
1st half awful, absolutely awful defence was all over the shop, looked ok going forward but just wasn't going right for us.
2nd half just near total domination even with 10 players.
MOTM - Walters or Kenwyne, can't really decide.

Right then, finally had time to watch the highlights on football first.
Their goals:
First was a good goal, main problem was that Wilko is a right back and can't use his left foot for shit. Huth or Wilson would've dealt with it easily. Second was pure luck, sickeningly lucky really. Huth would've put that miles over the bar 99 times out of 100. Third goal, again purely down to Wilko not being able to use his left foot. Anyone else and it's booted right away. The main worrying thing was our inability to stop the crosses coming in.
Our goals:
What a fucking cracker that was from Jones, surprised there wasn't more made of it but the same happened earlier in the year when Fletcher scored a similar one (but from less of an angle). Great work on the wing as well. Another good goal, really feel like neither Huth or Ryan would've reached that ball with that power. What more can you say than has already been said? Absolute fucking screamer. Jerome didn't even think that it'd gone in at first.
First penalty shout was definitely a penalty, put his hand out to hit the ball and should be retrospectively banned. Second I don't think it was, his arm was by his side and he tried to use his shoulder/chest.
In the first half even when they'd scored 3 goals we still didn't look bad, we carved them to pieces and were easily the better team. The red doesn't even need a comment.
Adkins is a cunt and I wish serious pain upon him.
