You do understand the term JUST about everything, yes?

Just about everything in MSM is nuts and BS designed to keep people divided and in fear etc.

Hence we will not win this game. MR is a good manager and I suspect had we employed him we would be top 3 now. He will have them up for this; they have to win. We don't. And we won't.

Here is the problem. RM plays a very specific style. So, it takes players time to get used to it and into the swing of it. So, in the summer when we have another large rebuild after losing many of our best players, we will again have an indifferent start to the season as players get used to the tactics in real life matches. In conclusion this will not work. If we do not win the play offs we need to get show of RM and get a new manager and start a new normal style of play that will work with second tier players.

Or Leeds, though the way Leicester are going, we may well beat them. Happy to finish 4th and play WBA in 5th. We won't win the play offs anyway, but it might be a bit of a learning curve for next season. Problem is, to be in contention next season we need to ditch this style of play and get a new manager.

We will lose this one nailed on. We will at times make a fight of it, but come back with nowt. I am gonna go 2-1 Ipswich.

Pre-season prediction, I said we'd finish 9th. We have done much better than I thought. But I also said we will NOT go up under RM. We won't. We are where we are to some degree in spite of him and because the teams from around 10th down are poor. This style of football will not work in this league with players of this level.

Perhaps I was laughing at another part of his post? Did you ever stop to think that or are you just stirring. But then seeing all your silly childish posts trying to be funny, I should expect nothing more.

As ever, a must win game that is impossible to call until we see the starting line up. Boro are not really in the hunt now IMO, as they need to make up 7 points in the last 8 games. Unlikely i would say, but they will probably still believe enough to give it a really good go. What we need is a big comfortable win. Something like a 3-0 where we are never really troubled, in control and solid at the back. Hopefully we will have our best back 4 back, along with the best midfield combo. Thereafter it all takes care of itself, even if Fraser is not back.

I began long ago. Death rates are up but of course it is being hidden. Suddenly died of nothing is up 4,000%. But none of you will accept it is true as it is not on your goggle box. The trouble with this forum is ego. See the Russia thread where a bunch of saints fans are military experts and generals. Then see the covid thread where you are all virologists. Then the UK rebirth thread where you are all expert economists. The fact is you are mainly dunderheads. You are held in captivity by your masters and the TV. Anything alternative is totally impossible. This is why I have been sticking to football thread and as of now I will do so again and stop trying to debate with people who are unable to see anything other than their own way and what the goggle box told them.

Youtube and Twitter admitted they were TOLD & ORDERED to delete any posts with a dissenting view. Can you not see that confirms something untoward was going on? It is so scary to read all the replies, but it also totally proves me correct. People refuse to see any other view or evidence. There is no point to debating with them as MLT says, as they will NOT debate, they will only take the piss, and be silly.

Agreed. On top of this, you will see people say things on this thread like, the whole medical profession disagrees with MLT or vice versa, but in truth many many Doctors and experts came out and said this was all BS. Unfortunately, most people refuse to believe in any other possibility than what they are told Via papers, TV and radio etc. People are so myopic now, not just with things like Covid but also politics and other subjects, they can only see what they have been taught told and programmed to see. For many a month i tried to show people some other angles with very strong evidence and got no debate, no discussion, no opinion, just name calling and silliness.

Will you support the newspaper equivalent of offcom investigating the Guardian and its clear bias to the left? No need to answer; I think we all have your number.

Things that are racist? I would surmise that anyone who disagrees with a SOG post would be classed as a racist.

So, before our game with Leicester on 23rd April, here are all the fixtures for all top 4 clubs. Personally I think the Preston game being put in the middle of April was bad and against us. Note that Leicester have only 6 games while Leeds and Ipswich have 7. It's almost as if the EFL like Leicester. Anyway, I am trying to predict these very honestly but also with a tinge of positivity toward Saints games. Why not. Might as well look on the brightest side we can think of. Leicester Bristol City v Leicester City 1 Leicester City v Norwich City 1 Leicester City v Birmingham City 3 Millwall v Leicester City 3 Plymouth Argyle v Leicester City 3 Leicester City v West Bromwich Albion 1 Points total now 94 Leeds Utd. Leeds United v Millwall 3 Watford v Leeds United 3 Leeds United v Hull City 1 Coventry City v Leeds United 1 Leeds United v Sunderland 3 Leeds United v Blackburn Rovers 3 Middlesbrough v Leeds United 1 Points total now 94 Ipswich Town Ipswich Town v Sheffield Wednesday 3 Blackburn Rovers v Ipswich Town 1 Ipswich Town v Southampton 1 Norwich City v Ipswich Town 0 Ipswich Town v Watford 3 Ipswich Town v Middlesbrough 1 Coventry City v Ipswich Town 1 Points total now 88 Saints Southampton v Middlesbrough 3 Ipswich Town v Southampton 1 Blackburn Rovers v Southampton 3 Southampton v Coventry City 3 Southampton v Watford 3 Southampton v Preston 3 Cardiff City v Southampton 1 Points total now 90 Last 3 games, we can only really be fairly sure of 3 points. I guess we have to beat Ipswich and Cardiff, then we will have 94 points, same as the top two. Can admin move this to the Saints board for me, sorry i put it in the wrong section.

Conspiracy? Surely not.

Been thinking similar. Why can it not be played any of the upcoming midweeks?

A must win game for sure for me. And as has been said many times above, we need to get back to clean sheets and tighten up. PNE are not bad away from home and have been on good form of late. One of the key things for me this season is form....yes we went 25 unbeaten but a lot of those were draws, where as Leeds WON 9 on the trot and IPSWICH 5 so far. This is the kind of run we need, starting last Saturday and on for the next three. Four wins on the trot and nothing less will do if we want to be top 2.

I would have to wait and see the line up to predict this. With no Downes and KWP we could be in real trouble. I think we will draw this one as we are going into a bit of a slump for 6 - 8 games I reckon.

Thanks for reminding me why I decided not to wake up and watch it.

Does this increase the capacity at all? I mean, even though it is safe standing, surely you can still get more people in a terrace than on seats?

I predict the cup draw will see us/Liv play Leicester.

It will be a Saints vs WBA final.

I truly believe our recent slump is down to FA cup games and tinkering, ruining the continuity of the team and messing up the rhythm etc. I also think their minds have been on this 'Big Stage' game and a chance to put themselves in the shop window to be signed up by some EPL team in the summer.

On this (yester)day 1975 we lost at home to Bolton 0-1 in the old second division.
