I'd have taken the point before the game so that will do for me. We are limping towards the line and the sooner this wretched season ends, the better. We have had 5 years of struggle so something has to change if we are to dream of a mid table finish.

At least the majority stopped until the end, which meant the early leavers didn't cause traffic chaos like the last couple of games. So a swift journey home.

The fact that the current side has reduced me to cheering on Chelsea is totally unacceptable.
This!!!!!!

A Villa win, alongside Spurs and a palace win would have had me cheering on Chelsea for a £369 return on £1.

Silly me for picking Villa.

After the shit sandwiches we have been served in the past few months, the same sandwich with a little less shit tastes devine in comparison. So based on that it was a great match I guess.

Well what an anti-climax.

Looked to me like we can be grateful for  the refs kindness and Southamptons malaise because we didn't look like scoring at all.

Vlaar + Albrighton did ok and Guzans save in the first half was first class. Up front we were woeful and Robinson doesn't look anywhere near this level yet.


I would argue though that Swanseas win helps us, as if they had lost they'd have been in big trouble. Hopefully now they'll be happy to sit back and share the spoils next week, which could well be enough now.



Bold bit, are you seriously writing him off as not ready after 8 minutes on the pitch, sorry but that's fucking ridiculous.

I remember saying that last year. And the year before that. And... You get the picture :-\

I wonder if Heston Blumenthal has ever considered cooking with shit.

We never looked like scoring. They could have had 3 or 4. So a more than welcome point to help us limp over the line. On the way back I heard Lambert say, amongst some other drivel, that Gabby worked his socks off. Obviously watching a different game to me.
