Saints 0 - 0 Everton
Monday, 21st January 2013
A 0-0 draw? Saints don't do goalless draws any more, do they?
Mauricio Pochettino's first game as Saint's manager showed that Saints these days are no pushover and if Everton had gone in at half-time 2-0 down, they couldn't have complained.
The second half was a bit more even, but still, Saints kept a clean sheet, which must be a pleasing start for the Argentine manager.

Chelsea 2 - 2 Saints (HT 2-0)
Wednesday, 16th January 2013
Dead and buried 2-0 down at half-time? Not a bit of it.
Into the second half. Rickie Lambert climbs from the substitutes bench and within three minutes has clawed a goal back. Saints were then a different side and pushed Chelsea hard. The equaliser when it came was wonderful. After great work down the left wind by Shaw, a cross into the area, flicked on by Ramírez and finished with a fine shot from Puncheon.
Another priceless point.

Schneiderlin to star in the Premiership?
Back & Forward
Some of you may remember B3nny's review of the squad last May, when we were all eagerly awaiting the start of the new Championship season.
You can still read that review on the IBO website here.
Much to my surprise he was pretty much spot on with how he thought various players would do, although there were one or two things which didn't quite turn out as expected.
Anyway, he has only gone and done it again this season!

We are now launching a section which should build over the months ahead into an indispensable 'goto' area covering the Saints youngsters.
To start with IBO regular 'shirleymush', who has been known to attend a few FA Youth Cup Games, runs the rule over the four graduates from the Academy who will be joining the Saints First Team for the pre-season games.

Mission Accomplished!
On Saturday 28th April 2012, at approximately 2.30pm, Saints regained the Premier League place that had been lost seven years previously.
The first four of those intervening seasons were increasingly eventful and painful, but the last three seasons, thanks to Marcus Leibherr and Nicola Cortese, have seen some of the most entertaining football seen in Southampton for many a year. This is particularly true in the last couple of seasons with Nigel Adkins as manager.

Now we get to see if the new Saints revolution can cut it, in what is arguably the most competitive league in the world. Whatever the truth of that, it is certainly the most high profile.
