At what temperature does water freeze up north...? MLG note: yes, I'm aware that frozen sub-soil water takes longer to thaw than surface water

I'm a weird person. A weird person will post weird things.

I'm a woman, but thanks for the well informed feedback (as per usual)

Am I imagining it or are our players more susceptible to injuries than other teams this season? KWP is a huge loss to the way we play.

So that when he eventually gets the nod ahead of McCarthy, and then has a succession of bad games, the Saintsweb intelligentsia can revert to slagging him off again...?

No

I don't think we have the mental toughness. Things go against us in games we just shrug our shoulders and accept it. So, where did we get our 'mental toughness' from last year...? And what's stopping us from rediscovering it...?

What's stopping us having a similar first half of next season to the first half of this season...?

It's more of a tantric experience to be honest, but same end game I would venture

Later. Your interrogation is making me feel a tad moist so I'm going to have to go and finish myself off in the gents. Back shortly.

No, I'm not saying that.

Ralph said before the game that he needs careful game-time management as he is prone to injury if he plays too many games in a short timeframe

There's a difference between pointing out that winning the league was highly unlikely (congratulations on that earth shattering wisdom) but I don't see any posts in November from the hindsight brigade forecasting this "inevitable" plummeting off a cliff drop in form that we're currently experiencing. Yes, a dip in form was always likely, but this bad...?

Our 2-0 victory Vs Chelsea on Boxing Day in 2019 set us up for our superb run in 2020, so have faith!

Good point. I was going to mention Theo on a thread earlier actually. I do think we miss his movement a lot. He creates space for others. Probably no coincidence our form has stayed low whilst he's been out

Egg

Maybe it'll all start to go right again if we exercise a little patience and pragmatism ?(I know, I know... The hope of patience + pragmatism on a football forum is chortle central)

And none of them had Saints performing as a top 6 side for a whole calendar year. Swings and roundabouts... #onlyfocusonthebadstuff

Fair point

Indeed. If you look back at posts around November time, you won't find anyone telling us how it was all about to come crashing down around our ears and our form was about to plummet like a stone, and yet if you read certain posts this afternoon it was always likely to happen... The words 'wise', 'event' and 'after' spring to mind...

Fair point @SKD. I think Bednarek would make a decent captain. He seems pretty vocal? I've always said we're too nice though, and that starts with the captain. I would bet we are one of the teams with the lowest number yellow cards for dissent....

No thanks
