Yep. If we get the 9 points from the next 3 games that our form predicts we should, we'll be on 28 - a rate that would see us finish on more points than City did last season. It would take a dramatic downturn in form for the rest of the season for us to finish any lower than 6th, IMO.

We didn't though. Last season we played the ball side to side further and further up the pitch or played it long to Lambert to then play it side to side until someone got a sight of goal from within 18 yards.

If we get an early goal it could be another thrashing, we looked so much more relaxed after the own goal last week. I can't see stoke coming at us the same way sunderland did in the first 20 minutes.

Looks very nervous to me, hasn't looked as relaxed as whenever I saw him for Celtic.

Not just that but we're trying to make ourselves self sustaining remember, which means we can't spend all our income on transfers. Far from it.

That's the worst decision i've ever seen in relation to football.

Saw you before the game holding the flag up, tried to get a picture of it to post on here but you ran off down the other end of the pitch to get Pelles attention

Bojan hasn't had the effect they thought he would so a clean sheet should definitely be our target.

Reminds me of when Pompey loaned youngsters out then named 3 subs on their bench to try and get their transfer ban overturned.

7 players out and 2 players in before their Ireland tour last summer...is he seriously suggesting that last season in the Championship they only had 17 outfield players in their squad?

Wanyama for who? If you had to choose one of the three CMs who performed the least you'd have to say it was Schneiderlin. Unless you bring him in for Long and put Davis back out wide, but I think that upsets the balance sometimes.

I'd probably buy it. On a similar note, have there been season reviews for the last few seasons? I know we stopped doing them in league one (which really annoyed me).

Koeman also saying he was "in shock" - not because of the score line, but because of how bad we were in the first 20 minutes! Incredible.

Still settling in some ways - goes long when the pass is played short and vice versa - but is certainly getting there. Not worth £12million but we just have to accept that given our financial influx we had to pay over the odds. Judge him on his performances alone, not compared to his price tag.

Why would he? First i'd heard of it anyway.

For Kelvin Davis please see mature, professional adult man.

Rule one.

I remember a Kim who used to post on here from the ladies team back in the saints forever days. I wonder how many of the old posters still lurk on here.

Well for once it seems like Serbia aren't entirely to blame. Albanian provocation through the drone, and Albanian overreaction when it was pulled down so the game could continue. Serbians reacted to that, yeah, and their fans as usual were a disgrace but i think the Albanians are the ones who have to take responsibility for this.

Sorry captain serious.

...so just silence for 90 minutes?

Could be interpreted the wrong way...
