    re: the long ball game.

    Sadly we never stood a chance against the MUOTPL and their total football approach to games.

    With football like that being served up on a fortnightly basis they'll be needing a larger stadium than the Olympic one they'll soon be loaning.

    Massive - truly massive.

    By that rationale, you must also dislike the style of football played by the likes of Arsenal, Man City & Liverpool ?

    If you don't appreciate a short passing game and you don't like the way West Ham play currently, what style of play would you like to see being played by your lads ?

    FFS does it really matter ? Saints had lots of possession but troubled Adrian no more than we troubled Boruc. Thought it was a good game...pretty even in decent chances created, we got a bit lucky with Jarvis goal (however the penalty that Pochettino wanted was not one) but overall it is about taking chances and we were (for once) clinical. Both sides tried to play long at times but I think that Mark Noble was the difference for us as he played very well in midfield.

    Early in the season, we were making loads of chances and scoring none of them...it happens. On another day Saints will make only 2 chances but score them both and win a game. If I am honest, I was a lit

    Sorry, for a moment there I thought you were suggesting you play the same style of football as Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

    Good one Grandad, that's funny!!

    That's a pretty fair interpretation..
