October 19 2013 Swansea City 4 (0) SAFC 0 (0) No Poyet magic cure for abject failure*
October 5 2013 SAFC (1) 1 Manchester United (0) 2 Better side first half, outclassed in second
September 30 2013 SAFC (0) 1 Liverpool (2) 3 Spirit in abundance, undone by shoddy defending
September 24 2013 Capital One Cup 3rd Round: SAFC (1) 2 Peterborough United (0) 0 A solid performance without any touchline histrionics
September 21 2013 West Bromwich Albion 3 (1) SAFC 0 (0) Coach looks completely out of his depth
September 14 2013 SAFC (0) 1 Arsenal (1) 3 Performance far better than the result suggests
August 31 2013 Crystal Palace (1) 3 SAFC (0) 1
Nowhere near good enough for this league
August 27 2013 Capital One Cup 2nd Round: SAFC (0) 4 MK Dons (1) 2
Outplayed, outclassed, somehow got out of jail
August 24 2013 Southampton (0) 1 SAFC (1) 1
The point was better than the performance
August 17 2013 SAFC (0) 0 Fulham (0) 1 Ultimately little difference from previous two seasons

Never despair, trust next years promotion push?
No chance of survival with that midfield?
Not one text or phone call from any of my fellow SAFC supporters after the match yesterday. Nothing to say and that just about sums up the current situation
This is the baulk of the squad that has now got 3 managers the sack. They make me sick.
I am too embarrassed to say anything.
That’s my 7.
First half seemed promising, without us really threatening their goal much. We seemed hard to break down.
Second half was a white-flag performance.
There is a slight hope that next week our home crowd will be so noisy that we will propel our team to victory and spark into flame a new confidence. Here’s hoping!
Thank the Lord I missed that one.
Poyet likes to use big words like organisation and concentration. Well, try these big words Gus…CAPITULATION and RELEGATION.
The end of the PL is nigh, unless ES has funds available in January we are doomed.
Well done Catts and Westwood for trying to drag the rest of the sorry arses with you (Fletcher exempted)
