Another day, another game, and really this should be another three points. There is no such
thing as an easy game in the Premiership apparently, but if there were Fulham at home would
probably be it. While they have just won away, they did so at around the five hundredth time of
asking, and on the back of two successive ten-man wins and a two-month unbeaten run our lot are in

the official site which unless you're blind confirms the boards first choice is moving to
Stratford.
I'm finding it really hard to write anything in relation to Saturday's game. I'm not sure why
that is but maybe it's the fact I can see 4th spot slowly disappearing into the distance? As a
result this will be short and sweet.
We were unlucky with injuries at left back but with only 10 minutes on the clock before Bale had
to leave the action and judging by his previous left back performances this season it might not
have made much difference.
Theo Walcott, Gareth Bale, maybe it's something in the water but Southampton seem to have gotten a
knack recently in producing young, promising British talent. The latest one to emerge is
