Hope Bruce comes in and keeps them up at the expense of the Saudis 😃

Given Ralphs knowledge of the Bundesliga, bit surprised we havent signed anyone (permanently) from that league. Barely been linked with anyone as well

We dont even need 13 points, no chance one of those bottom 3/4 teams are reaching 38 points (they would likely need 39 with their GD). 3 more wins and we're safe. We'll have that by early/mid March

Yeah because City would leave the oppositions three best players in the air free to run unopposed into the back post area. Did you watch the post match analysis? They literally spent 5 minutes laughing at the state of our set up for that free kick. I think Souness said it was embarassing defending for a PL team. The only downside on what was a great team performance

Blaming Forster, really? Sure its nothing to do with our stupidly high line where we go zonal marking and allow runners between the lines. It doesnt work as we have seen repeatedly this season. If it wasnt for Forsters save from Sterling we would have lost

Seems we're keen to add to our double barrel contingent, follows on from the links with Loftus Cheek and Maitland Niles in previous windows

9 with GD, over half their point total. Norwich wins over shocking Watford and Everton teams has not changed my mind that they're still utter shit. Still think its them, Watford and one other.....hopefully Newcastle

Zero points is all that matters when Brentford look at the table

Theres usually one of the promoted teams who start the season very well but as the season progresses they begin to get found out or their thin squad begins to get exposed. Apart from beating Villa over xmas they're on a pretty poor run. Could get dragged back into trouble if they're not careful. Hull quite a few seasons ago springs to mind

Hopefully we see more of this frustration before the window closes. A few Carillo type desperation signings at 23.00 on deadline day would be delightful

I know we're more financially secure and dont need to rely on it as much but we've got another loan to use up dont we? Although not from Chelsea obviously. We did pull the Minamino deal out of nowhere last January so wonder what we have up our sleeve - perhaps one of the City kids Delap or McAtee

Ballard and Olaigbe with more goals for the B team tonight in a 2-1 win against leaders Fulham. Both have been in very good form and Ballards only 16 I think. Olaigbe has been with the first team training too

Hes been out for four months and not due back until mid-February maybe later. Very good player but they really need some new blood in that lineup now

Signed. Dont like to see clubs potentially liqudated, especially based on the actions of previous owners. No such thing as the club being too big to go under. They've been punished enough as it is with the 21 points and transfer embargo. Its also good to see the job that Rooney is doing.

On another day we could have won the game with the chances we had, but also we didnt deserve anything with the sloppy defending and conceding three goals. Sorry but I think its a penalty all day, not sure why it took them so long. Really clumsy from Bednarek, tries to poke it away for a corner and ends up digging his toe into the pitch and clatters into the Wolves player. If we had been on the receiving end we would be screaming for a penalty. Bednarek has summed his saints career up in 7 days - own goal, goal, concedes a penalty. Just so inconsistent and cant seem to eradicate the errors from his game. He shoudnt be any better than our third choice CB and why we need a better partner for Salisu. The high free kick line has threatened to undo us before and it did today for Woves second. Although I dont know what Forster was thinking - was in no mans land. If he stays on his line he deals with it no bother. Chasing the game when we conceded the third, but Lyanco is too busy complaining about a hand to the face instead of getting back on Traore. Just play to the whistle fs. JWP take a bow. What a strike. He has been phenomenal the past two months. Madness when people were questioning whether he should be playing or not. With a bit more luck we could have snatched a point, although we probably used most of that luck up for the point we gained against Spurs. Onwards.

Hes out of contract next June so Marseille would be looking at offers now or in the summer. Cant see him going for less than 15m

15 million for a 25 year old with nearly 40 caps for a good international side in Poland and over 3 years left on his contract. No thanks. Couldnt even replace him with a championship CB for that money

Also beat them there last season in the FA Cup, although they did have a slightly changed side

The time he tried empty Henry at the corner flag and was mugged off was glorious. Hes a cock. Also made some snarky comment before ko saying that it was a game which would put players in the shop window for other teams.

Enter the fuckin Dragan 🇷🇸🇷🇸 That has been long overdue. A game where we take our chances and also get a bit of luck (game was over by the last 10 minutes anyways). Plenty of very good performances - Broja, Tella, Romeu, Bednarek, Forster to note. Standouts for me were Perraud, Diallo and JWP, all three were exceptional. Hopefully that silences Perrauds doubters for a while. Shame Diallo wont get his goal - he loved it all the same. Lyanco is a mad man but his energy is superb. Sometimes he can overplay a bit and get caught in possession a bit like Salisu (must be the brazilian in him). Sometimes he should just pump it into row Z. Can overlook those last 10 minutes where we went missing but Forster was there when called upon. Feels good to be a saints fan right now - on to Molineaux 👊🏻👊🏻

This last 10 mins has had a Villa away last season feel about it. We're all over the show - thankfully we havent conceded

Would be a good signing for Villa, but if they persist with Mings and Konsa at CB they will continue to concede goals. Those two arent good enough for any top 8 ambitions that Villa may have

Good to see a Forest upset . Pity Grabban scored it - hes a proper cunt

Yes he was completely anonymous when he came on tonight, but its not an easy game with 10 men to come into (unless you're super ShLong). Seem to recall him scoring a great goal at Goodison which if it wasnt was some poor defending/ goalkeeping probably would have earned us a point. Also scored an excellent goal to get us the three points against Villa. Pretty sure if he 'wasnt PL quality' or 'out of his depth' we wouldnt have seen those moments. People need to remember that hes only 5 months into his first PL season, and yes while Broja being the same has outperformed him, he has still played his part and shown that he can get us goals when it matters. Im sure comments above were mirrored on the Che Adams thread. He only scored 4 in his first PL season and took alot of shit on here, but hes turned out alright for us in the long run
