Ten man Saints beat West Ham ! ! !

Well, yes it's true. What was always going to be a tough fixture (especially if Carrol played.................he came on as sub! ) just got so much trickier after Victor Wanyama's daft tackle in the 54th min got him sent off for the third time this season and a 5 game ban ! ! ! Could they hang on??? 36minutes to defend Yoshida's excellent 10th minute opener ! Well hang on they did with a mixture of stout defending poor attacking and another brilliant save from Fraser Forster( 5 clean sheets in a row, a new club record). West Ham couldn't generate any clear chances and Long and Austin could have put the game beyond the Hammers but missed great chances.
Still the real shock ( or was it ? ) was Leicester's demolition of Man City 3-1 (trust me it was a demolition despite Aguero's late consolation ). At the Etihad, were few teams get any points, some poor defending cost City BIG and dented their Championship ambitions as Leicester went into a SIX point lead at the top. Defender Huth got 2 goals ! ! Yes SIX points clear. 14 games to go, this has gotten really interesting.
Wins also for Villa, Newcastle, Everton and Spurs. Liverpool were cruising to a 2-0 victory when a 77th minute walkout by the Liverpool fans( complaining about a proposed ticket price hike next season) co-insided with a stunning Sunderland revival thanks to poor goalkeeping from Mignolet and a Defoe poacher goal.
Local news. Premiership Bournemouth host Arsenal later today. Div 2 Portsmouth lose at home and National side Eastleigh lose 3-0 at Lincoln.
Full Europe results tonight. Later peeps.

    Hi i'm Alan S. Ex-Ordnance Survey UK, ex-BAe Systems KSA, ex-Twinings UK. Currently at Coopervision UK. Actually my continuing illnesses did for me and my contract was ended, so now have retired ( sort of). Been Wilkie Touring since 2005. I Love "live" music and also "writing and playing" my own songs. Enjoy throwing parties. Oh Yeah, Going to Cinema and watching DVD's on PROJECTOR based "Home  Cinema" are essentials. Golf and Jazz and Jogging round things off. Would have been on more Tours but for recurring illness's ( Cellulitus and last 2 1/2 years Hip).

    Travelling! Did I mention travelling? Oh, and photography too. I belong to the school of " take a 100 pix and one is bound to be good ( ask exasperated family and friends!).
