  1. From a partisan point of view, sadly this won't help us. We aren't going to end up 3 points behind Leicester and suddenly hear they have a 4 point deduction and we are promoted/champions....tbh, even if we did, what a thoroughly crap way to get back up. More generally, the financial fair play stuff is simply insane. It will get far worse when the football regulator gets brought in. The easy solution is to simply demand clubs (or new buyers of clubs) keep money in an escrow account at a sufficient level to keep that club afloat. That should be a requirement for getting the "golden ticket". Then pretty much let clubs do whatever they want.
  2. There’s no way I’m settling for 4th. That’s the lowest position we could credibly finish. We will have to do very well in the run in and especially in those key 3 away games to get auto promotion. But I think you can almost price in Sheff W losing to Ipswich. Would be a big surprise and a welcome bonus if they don’t.
  3. The insanity for me is not that he's in the team, it's playing THB at right-back. If you want to shoe horn in Stephens (and I'm not saying you do), play him at right back while KWP is out.
  4. Agree, but their 2nd goal was majestic. And the first was pretty good too. I'm not arguing about the entertatinment value I'm getting at St Mary's...but I wanted to be bored in the 2nd half, not ecited tbh!
  5. No. He usually doesn’t score after falling over first. He usually just falls over. So having the two together is damned rare!
  6. Well, that was boring…! Have no real idea how we didn’t win that at a canter. Such is life. What a brilliant match.
  7. Yeah, their C team is better than our A- team. It's the way it goes....had we scored in the first 20 minutes, maybe different. Good effort, but we didnt make it. The bookies had Liverpool as 80% to prevail ....and our 20% didn't come up....
  8. They are top of the PL FFS....we were always likely to lose....
  9. Disappointing, but a decent effort. My analysis that Smallbone is just not at it (5/10 on everything....sometimes a 6 at best) was proven!
  10. Tonight's horror show has led me to change my mind. A win tonight and an imagined win at Leiecester and the shot was, just about, on the board. Just. Now it's a fight for second between 3 teams.
  11. Truly woeful 1st half. Terrible team selection and also poor performances by many. RM got that badly wrong. Really bad wrong. Good 2nd half, but not good enough. Smallbone should not be in the starting XI in my view. He is bang on average across the board (not terrible, just 5/10 at everything). Not having our two goalscorers from Friday or our best cameo player (Aribo) in the starting line up was absurd given that Downes still wasn't fit. A very bad night for Martin and possibly a terribly costly one.
  12. I have a spare ticket in the Saints bar for the match if anyone is interested. PM me if you are.
  13. Unlikely. Not impossible. It’s not wild fantasy to imagine they might lose to Leeds, lose to us and lose 1 or 2 more.
  14. I think the bookies are about right, we have maybe a 15% chance of catching them (and a 10% chance of winning the league)
  15. If you think bookies’ odds are a reasonable guide to probabilities, we are currently 9/1 to win the league (ie a 10% chance). So maybe I was even a little bit pessimistic in my posts above. I guess we’d be maybe 3/1 to win at their place? If you wave some magic wand and “make that happen”, that would suggest we’d then be about 3 or 4/1 to win the league.
