Great assist by Tadić, the vision!

 

Nice goal from Jack. Great assist by Tadic. Popped it over the group of players into danger area for Cork to run onto. Excellent vision and conversion.

 

Utterly brilliant cross from Tadić.

 

This performance is simply fantastic.

 

Anybody notice how well Toby pings a pass..?

Pelle just wide.

EDIT: Just noticed that my analogue radio from Solent is a full 30 seconds in front of my stream. It's great because I can inform you lot of a goal and still go back to the stream and see it happen, essentially live.

 

You got to get that on target, Graziano. Great chance to increase your goal tally goes missing.

 

Yes, that was apparent when Gardos came on against Newcastle and Toby went to CM. His pass out to Clyne towards the end of the 41 pass move was an absolute peach. I could see him ending up as a midfielder.

 

HT

 

Not sure if the pen shout should have been given. You can't kick it wide and run straight into Forster. Not sure. Was Cork's goal a keeper own goal?

 

We had a stronger penalty shout than Sunderland.

 

Two shots on target......3 goals....cheers vegflangi!

 

I agree. He got his shot off and then jumped over Forster and still managed to poke his leg out at Forster to make contact. No pen for me.

 

Ooh, that was close..! Nearly 4-0

 

Wondering why it's so bright at St Marys. Looked outside the window and, on a cloudy day, there is a remarkable amount of blue sky.

Good day to win.

 

Have been a bit fortunate with Sunderland's finishing today.

 

I think we may want to bring on Wanyama and Mane as this game develops.

 

True, you can see why they are not prolific.

 

Indeed, but in years to come, the scoreline will tell the important part of the story.

 

3 Southampton
8 9 16
4 West Ham
8 3 13
5 Hull
8 1 12

who saw that coming?

 

Indeed, and you can see why we are. Saints are quite different from last season in that respect.
