    • 71' The Stoke fans are singing: "You're not fit to referee" They won't be thinking that when they see the replays.
    • 70' SENDING OFF: N'Zonzi leaves the boot in on Cork and Clattenburg rightly produces a straight red.

    • '42 That is a great clearance from Hooiveld after some intricate touch play from Stoke around the area.

    • '26 Stoke are really missing Shawcross and Cameron, as Southampton are matching Stoke high ball to high ball.

    • '23 It is easily cleared by Southampton, though.

    • 14:25 Southampton captain Adam Lallana again misses out with the knee problem he sustained against Reading on December 8. Steven Davis and Gaston Ramirez drop to the bench, with Guly Do Prado and Jay Rodriguez coming in, while Jos Hooiveld replaces Nathan Clyde at the back.
    • 14:20 Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross and right-back Geoff Cameron are both serving one-match bans for five bookings this season, so Matthew Upson replaces Shawcross in the centre of the back four with Ryan Shotton coming in for Cameron.

  1. Crouch controlled the ball with his arm and therefore­ Jerome's goal should have been disallowed.

    From m m, on Mon 31 Dec 1:29

  2. Typical southern softie B&*^%)S crying at us­ Stokies again Stoke should sign that thug Lambert go­ along with our cultured passing football. A biased F.A­ Referee Clattunshite along with Mike (I hate­ Stoke)Dean, Howard (I agree with Mike Dean) ho and I­ forgot Martin Atkinson. Every game we play we play­ against 14 of the opposition's party on the pitch.­ Clattunshite sending Nzonzi off was another example of­ sending of Stoke players for anything. Also turning­ away clear clear penalty. You southern softies would­ love to be were Stoke and Tony Pulis are with a self­ made millionaire our chairman from Stoke a Stoke City­ fan we are all proud off. Your going down with the same­ football as the mighty potters. Only comment on Stoke­ if you shites watch us live not 2 mins on M.O.T.D.

    From Albert Pierrpoint, on Sat 29 Dec 23:51

    From chris l, on Sat 29 Dec 21:50

  4. Well I've got to eat me hat with me oatcakes, never­ expected potters to come back after that, shows how­ they've improved. Don't think Stoke'll go­ back just yet, Southampton might though!

    From MICHAEL COATES, on Sat 29 Dec 20:41

  5. Jerome's goal should be a nominee for the best goal­ of the year

    From Risto, on Sat 29 Dec 18:10

  6. stoke , just thugs who like to play rough but cant take­ it back..and with a whingeing manager with the morals­ of an alley cat,. they are a club that are there just­ to make the numbers up, will never win any thing

    From Mr, on Sat 29 Dec 17:08

  7. Well done Stoke!

    From Dino, on Sat 29 Dec 16:58

  8. Doing a "find-my-past" search ... Pulis and­ Ferguson are actually related- way back - spawned from­ the same great-great (keep going) great grandfather­ whose name was Beelzebub. Explains it all really !

    From Madrileno, on Sat 29 Dec 16:54

  9. every one knows you dont win matches sitting on a two­ goal lead Norm,

    From N, on Sat 29 Dec 16:54

    From lorna, on Sat 29 Dec 16:44

  11. C'mon you Saints looks like stoke can't play­ clean football. COYRs

    From MARK, on Sat 29 Dec 16:35

  12. Another red card for Stoke. Why am I not surprised?

    From Olly, on Sat 29 Dec 16:31

  13. Chris - when you bet on a football result, don't­ automatically assume that the team who won well before­ will always win its next match - that's a losers­ assessment !

    From Billy the Kid, on Sat 29 Dec 16:21

  14. , Stoke fans like the sound of their own voices, their­ heads are as empty as their silverware cabinet

    From Mr, on Sat 29 Dec 16:21

  15. Credit to Southampton - not many sides thump Stoke on­ their home turf.

    From the_voice_of_reason, on Sat 29 Dec 16:14

  16. Huth should be sent off - what a dirty player !!

    From Billy the Kid, on Sat 29 Dec 16:14

  17. ha ha Stoke get back in the championship, no doubt ­ Pulloff Pullis will be moanig how dirty Southampton­ played and the ref was terrible, blah blah blah,

    From Mr, on Sat 29 Dec 16:10

  18. shawcross is an ar*e !

    From Billy the Kid, on Sat 29 Dec 16:09
