A 10 goal swing is not going to happen.

Plus Swansea may not be quite as motivated any more. If Huddersfield had lost tonight they would have been a lot easier to catch, a 1-0 win could have done it for them vs Stoke now they can only catch us and need a far less likely set of results to do so. A 10 goal swing isn't going to happen regardless.

I'm puzzled by the thought process of anyone thinking that wasn't the case. Blatantly obvious it is harder to rebuild anything when you have £100m+ less in income. Plus, if you mean theory in a scientific sense... then that is a conclusion based on facts and not a guess.

They have significantly lower quality players than Chelsea and Man City, it would be daft for them to open up and attack both clubs away from home when all they need is a point for survival.

He called it the magic number. What is magic about it if a lower number can also equal safety?

I'm puzzled why you've jumped to that. Read back what I said word for word and you'll see I wasn't being a helmet at all in either post.

When did they ever publicly state that there was an agreement?

Why 37 points? - If Swansea lose to Stoke it would be possible to stay up on 33 points - If Swansea draw with Stoke it would be possible to stay up on 34 points - If Swansea beat Stoke it would be possible to stay up on 36 points

There is no news in that, it is simply a rehash of reports in the English tabloids and it admits that within the article.

and yet he isn't going to the World Cup!

Yes, on day one...

2 yellow cards in a match = 1 match ban so yes Yoshida is available

When did you see him play last? He isn't remotely close to the quality he once had.

The same we used vs Bournemouth probably... 3-4-2-1 McCarthy Bednarek Stephens Hoedt Cedric Hojbjerg Romeu Bertrand Tadic Redmond Austin

No and there is no reason why it should.

Trip Advisor clearly can see it as suspicious as it is so soon after the nationally reported incident. If Saints fans all through the next few months give 1 star reviews without making it obvious it is connected with recent events then Trip Advisor will probably leave them up.

We were talking about the youngsters in a 3rd tier side, not a Premier League team like where both of your examples were from. When Kane and Beckham were 19 years old they would already be at a level where they could play 3rd tier football, they wouldn't have needed an under 23 team to get games. If Kane and Beckham were 19 and at Pompey, they'd be star players in the first team. Why does that mean businesses in the top flight should subsidise those in the 3rd tier. As I asked before... in what other industries does that happen? Pompey should fund themselves, I'm sure they could reallocate money from elsewhere if they were really concerned with youth development. They choose not to! Also if Pompey had a high quality 19 or 20 year old that might one day be good enough for the PL and England national team then he would already be in Pompey's first team squad in the 3rd tier. He would not need under 23 football.

Or a virus...

But is a lesser achievement, with a weaker Saints team against weaker opponents. It isn't much of an achievement. We've shown as recently as 2016 it is possible for us to win 18, draw 9 and only lose 11 out of 38 PL games.

It is nonsense, it is far better for the club and fans to return to its path of the previous four seasons. Finishing 8th in the Premier League is far more enjoyable than 1st in the Championship. Of course winning a league is nice, but you aren't playing some of the top teams in the world with a squad packed with internationals at Saints.

Why is relegation needed for that to happen? Players can be sold if we stay up, a far better situation.

A muscle that pumps blood isn't the place for answers!
