10 points above Fulham, 10 points below Liverpool. Looking up again (Saintsweb Intelligentsia: "yeah, but Sheff Utd were shite")

Good to see a bit of confidence coming back into the attacking players

Why the two different reactions to the same scenario...?

Forster gone off?

Nice. Looks like the doom and gloom brigade will get a night off today

Against our northern cousins too. Nice 😂

Bosh

F**k off injuries FFS

As own goals go, that would be a stonker

Maybe I should start predicting a top 10 finish again... That's bound to flush out the ire of certain characters...

Lord D has never been wrong in his life. IMHO of course

I know me posting this will attract the wrath of me ol' mucker Fitzhugh Fella, but has anyone worked out AlexLaw76's previous forum name yet?

I think zebras are pink. Am I right or wrong?

WBA's quest to overhaul the 13 points between us in danger of being dashed

Crazy handball laws strike again

I'm more worried about WBA beating Everton to be honest. A win puts them a mere 10 points behind us and we all know that the Baggies are going to win their remaining 11 games at a canter

Fair point...

Nothing wrong with disagreeing. All part of life's rich tapestry

To be fair, he said this back in January 2019 and he wasn't exactly talking about slashing the squad in half, more about pruning out the deadwood (yes, I'm fully aware that "pruning the deadwood" is one of those phrases that triggers a predictable reaction from some on here.... ) Maybe if he'd foreseen a global pandemic looming over the horizon a year later, and the ensuing condensed fixture list, he'd have had a different view on the matter and thus wouldn't have been saddled with the Saintsweb Forum's "Well, Ralph said he wanted a small squad" mantra.... https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/17383445.southampton-manager-ralph-hasenhuttl-wants-much-smaller-squad/

Ralph says it "looks good" for KWP, Diallo and Takumi for this weekend

Pretty much our strongest line-up,even when all players fit*, so, yep, this 100% (*Yes, one could argue cases for McCarthy, Romeu and Walcott, but it's marginal IMO)

Had first AZ jab about 5 weeks ago. Had a bit of a headache and lethargy first day or so, then had something akin to a heavy 48 hour cold on day 2 & 3. Apart from that, all good.
