For anyone (TV/radio pundit or otherwise) that thinks Southampton can't sustain their form over 38 games. In their last 38 Premier League games (straddling this season and last) - Southampton have picked up 64 points! That would have been enough for 5th last season. 😎
This clearly isn't a short term run of good form. It is sustained over a very long sample period. No fluke purple patch at St Mary's.
It is not new for them to do that or anti Saints/Brighton. No Monday night football coverage on Sky is done solely about the Monday game. They always review the weekend's other games.
Not true, it significantly increases his value and prevents a Wanyama, Clyne or Hojbjerg situation where they were sold cheap with 1 year left of their contract.
It isn't an unusual position to think a squad player for Saints will be far above that of Reading's budget. This is a Championship Reading without parachute payments and a wage bill of £41m which is tiny compared to Saints but massive and unsustainable considering their income.
Sky's coverage really is pathetic.
50 minutes into the program and we've barely been mentioned apart from an excuse to show 17 years worth of clips of Man Utd winning at St Mary's! 🙄
