6 points please. Reading really are poor, anything less than a win will be a disaster, which is why I'm dreading it. Expecting a really nervous atmosphere that will get worse the longer we're not winning. Sunderland is a strange one. I was at Carrow road on Sunday, and Sunderland were absolutely woeful in the first half. They didn't travel well, fans were quiet, and they couldn't string 3 passes together. But then the same could be said of Norwich in the second half, and Sunderland were unlucky not to get something from the game in the end. Both there for the taking really IMO

2 weeks off work, mainly on the p*ss, family, friends, good food Versus Sh*t weather, having to go shopping, extra traffic, and Xmas songs. It's more than tolerable IMO, I'm looking forward to it. Some really good parties planned this year.

I fear for Southampton's 'goals against' figure if Gazza plays.

Liverpool to exploit this newly promoted yeam's weaknesses, and finally start playing like a £200m+ team. Them 3-0 Us

No.

December is massive. Liverpool (a) Reading (h) Sunderland (h) Fulham (a) Stoke (a) Some tricky ones there, but we've really got to be looking at getting at least 8 points from that lot IMO.

Fonte. Dominant.

Norwich are going to win on Sunday, they don't need the points tonight. 3-1 Saints

Baj should ban Miltonroader07 and dedicate it to Bobby Stokes IMO

Why do you keep on dragging up old threads? Nobody gives a toss about Brighton.

...is the correct answer.

Holt isn't all that. Fonte's job. If he can keep Ba in his pocket then he'll do the same to Holt.

There's no reason we can't win this, but it'll be tougher than yesterday. Norwich much better organised, and we won't have the time and space that Newcastle allowed us. Their closing down and pressing was hopeless. Hopefully everyone's recovery is fine and we can get the same XI out there for the 4th match running. Saints 2-1 Norwich

I hope that person is found, someone needs to have a serious word with him.

Strange that none of the penalty shouts were shown on MOTD2.

Cork for me, for the 3rd game running. He's been ridiculously good and really makes us tick in midfield. It's no coincidence that we've hit some form with him back in the side.

What the f*ck is the point in posting that? Attention seeking, trying to show you're ITK.

Top thread.

It's a pain in the arse. I don't want to miss it, but the lack of public transport is a real problem, as is trying to talk someone into driving while the rest of us get on the beer.

Met Office app is saying heavy rain on Saturday, but Sunday will be dry and bright. Nothing to see here.

Apparently we've got 9 points already. I didn't read past that. If they can't get the simple stats right, then it's probably not worth reading. Plus, as mentioned, there's no real point in comparing 2 very different types of midfielder.

If we get 4 points from the next 2 games I'll be very impressed. Can't see us getting anything at Anfield, they seem to be getting themselves sorted somewhat.

Barnsley at home. Remember him playing well in that one and setting Lallana up for an easy finish. 2-0 I think

How annoying. I had better dust off the old ST booklet to wave at these JCLs in block 43.

Good news, will be a top player for us.
