R_in_Sweden added 14:31 - Apr 1 That's more like it. Really pleased for Adel! (slightly spoiled by the humourless referee's booking for wearing a fez). Diakite is improving with every game. Derry put in a good shift and Kenny's great save from RVP proved to be vital. Get in there. Royboy48 added 15:29 - Apr 1 You must be hurting down in Cannes; always easy to be wise after the event. I have to say I was with you pre-game but having been there – well, two miracles in two weeks! The feelgood factor we all experienced going back to the C and S after the game, I regret to say, would have far surpassed any feelings of well-being in the sunshine of the Cote D'Azur! Only two sayings come to mind 1.repent at leisure 2. lest we forget, it's the hope that kills you… themodfather added 17:06 - Apr 1 the whole team excelled and all are motm for me...kenny has started making the saves and looks back to his best, hill is leading by example...and i admit BARTON had a good game yesterday. the qpr fans again were the extra man, more v swans and stoke and spuds too!! come on.... LostBoys added 19:32 - Apr 1 jo_qpr63 added 20:57 - Apr 1 Really pleased for Adel, deserved his goal and hopefully push him on. Still made a couple of mistakes when a simple pass would have done but still learning i suppose. As is Diakite who looked a better player then ive given credit for, and took his goal well. Still a bit rash with some challenges but it was just what we needed and got into Arsenals faces well.All the players stepped up and thats all we can do when the other teams around do the same. Still 3rd from bottom but starting to show the fighting spirit we need to compete at this time of the season.I feel a bit guilty for starting to jump on the negative bandwagon and have a renewed sence of optimism that I'm gonna stick too wether we get hammered at Man u or not. If we can beat this Arsenal team we can beat anybody. C'mon u R's pompeypride added 18:16 - Apr 7 Hey why no comments from those tools down the road ? Can't hold a lead at home against us again, good game to watch and a fine example of why this fixture should remain for many years to come, may have to be cup games for a bit though ;-) geraldo added 18:20 - Apr 7 Another shocking away result and it's season over - JC continually changes the team and I don't think he has been any better than SE. We shouldn't assume that we will come straight back up....... LostBoys added 18:23 - Apr 7 grampy added 20:14 - Apr 7 Saints effectively playing with 10 men till Guly went off, midfield lacking again today. I am sure the pundits will say a draw was a fair result but that was the most important game at St Mary's since Manchester United sent us down and we blew it. Zambucco added 08:58 - Apr 8 umm Pompeypride as this is a forum for Saints fans, technically the 'tools' down the road are Pompey! This site is inhabited by the more enlightened fans and we enjoy banter and not merely throwing insults. An opposition fan's perspective is always more than welcome! You are correct a great game to watch, there would not be many teams who could hold a lead against 2 fantastic goals like that. It seems you saved your best 2 moments of the season for us, how kind! Grampy yes I agree Guly was not at his best yesterday, but neither was Ricky, I noticed him bitching at a lot of his team mates yesterday, he wasn't enjoying himself. Glad he finally took a free kick that almost went in. Gutted that Morgan went off so early, as I like the way he now controls the midfield, but thought Jack Cork raised his game and put in a decent show, Adam was back to his best, Deano was ever reliable. Jose and Jos coped very well. I now see why we paid 31.8m for Billy he's not pretty but oh so effective. I would love to see Fox and Razor push in a few more yards to the byeline before they cross. I was proud of the whole team, they played against a team who were going to fight all the way, play with pride and make it very very difficult for us. I am going to miss games like this, they don't happen very often, the atmosphere was buzzing, and for a Derby some great football, mostly by Saints. It's a shame that there is a small hooligan element that would spoil it. But as NA pointed out, yesterday we gained a point that took us top of the league!
