Saint Without a Halo

Shaw running rings around azipilicueta or however you spell his name!

Key stone Kop defending again from a corner!

Lambo you beauty

Which one? Lallana injured Ramierez Jet lagged Fonte not picked

There is always a team relegated that falls towards the end from relative mid table safety! Is it Sunderland?

Sunderland more lively now they appear to be going for it!

Sunderland look quite poor without Fletcher and Cattermole!

Lawro has tipped us to lose 22 times this season far more than any other team! the closest to us is norwich with 19! He was influenced a lot by our first 10 games it seems! Having said that he has QPR 6th and Swansea in the last 3 and wigan 12th as well so he cant be that hot!

He seems to have given virtually everyone a point! Can't believe the number of draws he predicted! talk about sitting on the fence!

Lazy Journalism and they get paid for it too!

This has probably been fabricated from his pre match conference when asked about Torres lack of form at Chelsea he said something along the lines of Torres seemed happy at Liverpool and played well there maybe the atmosphere at Chelsea was different!

One of his problems has been the unexpected great form shown by Puncheon this year!

What a great forward line that was Paine, Chivers, and Davies with a young Mike Channon too! (Wales best player ever and three current and to be full England Internationals forwards) If only we could have defended better! (Jimmy Gabriel aside). This was the first Saints team I saw on my first visit to the Dell!

As you can see Health and Safety was big in the 70's!

Nice one 10th place! However there must be an error there! I am sure I was told, in no uncertain terms, this was no longer possible, on another thread! (I did try to explain the difference between possible and probable but as usual it fell on deaf ears)

I think it was 46.69%! Still a ridiculous number at the time!

http://www.sportsclubstats.com/England/Southampton.html, Post yesterday our chances of finishing 10th have doubled to 4% our chances of relegation have gone down to just 6% most likely finish place is still 16th with 18% also 15th, 14th and 13th are now much more likely! at 17%, 14% and 12% respectively. by the way 9th is now possible at just 1%. As of now Win 4 draw 4 of the last 8 and and we have a 48% chance of 10th or better 4 more points and we then have a better than even chance of staying up. A couple more wins and 10th will be more likely than relegation! Onwards and upwards!

Bearsy what a great idea we would win qualify for europe with that combination!

How many goals do we conceded between 40 and 45 minutes in each half it seems a hell of a lot or does it just seem that way!

I feel the likes of Sunderland, Stoke, Norwich and Fulham will be dragged in and it will be very tight at the end from 11th to 20th with just a handful of points seperating 10 teams! We should just make it (I hope)

It must be said Fareham is also quite close to Poopey! Maybe he jumped ship to the Hammers as an interim measure to wean himself slowly back onto good football. Big Sams long ball mob will mean he can at least see plenty of similarities in style with Poopey to not sock him too quickly!

Good succinct summary

All were better than Man C and Man U? I dont think so! Maybe Stoke Arsenal and Chelsea 2nd time were good but so were Man C Man U and Wigan under MP not much in it by my reckoning

So two wins in 14 is our current form and we need at least 3 from 9 to go! A bit of work to do hopefully on set piece delivery and on finishing

It's tight at the bottom from QPR on 23 all the way up to fulham in 10th on 33 points it's going to be a nervous last 9
