Dr Who?

End of January and in to February the fixtures get easier and we will I think be very close to top 6, but I think 7th as Everton are to strong and a better team than us, at the moment.

9th

Spurs (H) - W 2-0 Cardiff (A) - W 0-1 Everton (A) - L 3-0 Chelsea (H) - D 2-2 West Brom (H) - W 3-0 Sunderland (A) - W 0-2 Arsenal (H) - L 1-2 Fulham (A) - W 1-3 16 points! Do not want to play Everton at the moment, but fancy going!

You know what I think was the final nail in his coffin. The fact that they lost heavily last week and he let his players out on the lash, to let their hair down. Now this can go one of 2 ways, win you next game and it is great management giving you players their Christmas celebrations, or lose and it is irresponsible and showing a lack of respect to the fans who pay big money to watch their team. When he said, he liked the fact that the players were out drinking and singing in the streets, I remember thinking, they best win the next game.

Or Bryan Robson!

There was a 5 live article about 3 weeks ago saying how they are building something special and lasting at West Brom....... Jesus. They will be in trouble now!

Off the top of my head, we have a terrible record at St James Park..... I remember a 0-1 win with a Matty free kick and a 2-4 in the late 80's but not to much success there.

I hear so much tripe when I go to Saints games it is embarrassing, but then I read most the stuff on here and it is pretty much the same. Knee jerk rubbish!

Let's hope they make it to the big time and we can field that first team of players, that came through the youth set up.

Fox?

Would love to go to one game at the moment, but just cannot afford it! Gutting as it is in the best season we have had since the early 80's! But that's life for me at the moment

Mods only pop up if you post a pair of tits or a top 3!

Not far off in Sunderland case!

Going to the Hull game.

Great win for the 9ers!

Looks like he has 6 fingers!

Not this week

You all love each other really. Loving the last few years as a Saints fan, still think we can continue to improve. There will be ups and downs, but as long as we make steady progress at the football club every season, that is fine. I think we will improve on last season don't you? The future is still very bright and I can only see positives. We are having an injury crisis, but we still battered Villa, but somehow lost. 40 points is the first aim, but we can still challenge for a top 6 finish, but probably 8/10th. Just enjoy it everyone.

We knew this would happen with injuries and our lack of depth in the squad. If we kept everyone fit we would have finished top 6, but will find it hard now. This is football, it happens to the best teams when they have key players out. We need to hand around the top half, so we can attract players in January. Going to be a very tough December for us. Good job we got a nice amount of points on the board at the start of the season. Shame it has happened just after last weekends article in the daily mail about our preparation for games.

Fancy po*pey..... Oh hold on! Lol Would love to get Cambridge Utd at the Abbey.... If they get through. Think we will take the FA Cup seriously, but let's get to 40 points and then enjoy the season from mid February onwards.

Getting caught on the break a couple times here tonight.... something to address. High pressing game not working against the quick break then! Villa done there homework! If we could finish though, could be out of sight!

This fixture last season was my daughters first game. We were 0-1 down at half time and won 4-1. Ok we are 1-2 down with 25 left on the clock, but it is still possible. We are the much better team and losing!!! Looks like we are having a bit of a bad run and John motson is right at the moment.

We can still do this 4-2

We look very good at home after a shaky start to the season, I expect us to win.

Did not know Villa had such a good away record. Only lost 1.
