No idea

Actually, Huddersfield achieving safety tonight could work in our favour psychologically. Had they still been in danger of relegation, our players may have had one eye on the Huddersield result on Sunday. Now all they have to focus on is performing well vs Man City. A bit like the draw vs Everton focused minds last night....

A bit like most people were predicting that Huddersfield wouldn't get a point from their last 3 games...?

This. Its the totally inconsistent refereeing that hacks people off most.

Chelsea should have scored there. Huddersfield are going to nick a point this evening, aren't they...? Brighton equalise vs Man City

I'm guessing Durham also plays golf and posts photos lifted from hotel websites on football forums.... #WUM

We're at least 100/1 to be relegated so either we stay up and I'm happy or we get relegated and my annual holiday is paid for...

I know, hence declaring it was a bit rubbish at the time I posted it

Call me Mr Irrational, but I'm yet to convince myself! Hopefully its just me playing my usual reverse psychology card...

Interesting tangental ITK snippet of info there LeG. Anything you can expand upon? e.g. which bit of land did we miss out on and how critical was it to Gao's plans for the area around the stadium? Cheers

Sign of the times that a few season ago we'd be worried about most of our squad protecting themselves for the world cup!

No. But I do give much more than that to Sainsbury's over the course of a year

He seemingly hasn't taken a leaf out of the John Terry celebration manual

Is that another Natalie Imbruglia lyric?

I thought the same when I went into Sainsbury's at the weekend. Not once have I seen the owner in there. I feel it might be time to switch my allegience to Tesco. (Disclaimer: apologies for the somewhat sarcastic post and a poor analogy to boot, but I do find it intriging why there is a clamour from most football fans for the owner to be more visible when, for most other industries, one probably doesn't even know the name of the owner let alone see them. For the record, I go to Sainsbury's more often than I go to Southampton games )

Blimey, that's a bonkers stat. Fine lines and all that.

In the immortal words of Natalie Imbruglia, I'm torn. Ordinarilly, a team in our position would/should go ultra defensive for the Man City game. The logic being that even if we lose it ought to be by a narrow margin. But, this is Saints we're talking about.... It wouldn't surprise me if its something like 0-2 and 2-0 in both games at half time, at which point the nerves will start kicking it, both on and off the field. So, part of me thinks we should stick to a more offensive line up. Indeed, I'm leaning towards playing the same starting 11 as last night. But then I come mentally full circle and try to convince myself we should park the bus. Only a Saints fan would be as nervy as I'm starting to feel about protecting a 9 goal cushion!

Maybe the draw vs Everton was a blessing in disguise.... It meant we had to go for it yesterday and we came away with 4 points from the two games. If we'd beaten Everton there was a danger that we'd have mentally set ourselves up for a draw yesterday which, knowing us, would have probably ended in tears and only 3 points from the two games. So, all in all, a bit of a masterstroke from Bertrand on Saturday to give the ball back to Everton in the final seconds. All makes sense now...

Anyone else starting to get jittery about Sunday despite last night's result and the goal difference cushion? No? Just me then...!

I'm liking that idea even more... Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk
