Fulham and Cardiff will be bottom two. Would like to say West Ham but have a feeling it could be Swansea.

Stoke (h) draw 2-2 Hull (a) draw 0-0 West ham (a) win 0-2 Liverpool (h) lose 1-2 Palace (a) draw 1-1 Norwich (h) win 4-1 Spurs (a) lose 2-3 Newcastle (h) win 3-1 Hard set of games to call, almost everybody else has got more to play for, looks like 8 draws to me but obviously it won't be, they could be almost anything!

Shoo-in for the starting X1, if he maintains form and fitness he could play for England for the next 4-5 years.
-
7 out of 8 this time, 6 out of 8 in the previous round, that's 13 correct results in the last 16, picked in two 8 game blocks. If you guys want any tips on football betting you know where to come;) Somebody type out the next 8 games and we can do it all again.....

Is it 'V' for vagina? The number of ****s on here, he's clearly 'hiding in the light'.

Would you change positons with Sunderland?
sandwichsaint replied to Barry Sanchez's topic in The Saints
I'd take Tuesday night over pretty much anything, not sure it's an 'either/or' question is it? We still in the FA Cup, I reckon our future is about 100x brighter than theirs, so no I wouldn't swap. We are well on the way to being the best-of-the-rest and we are competitive and stand a chance of winning in pretty much every game we play now (bar Chelsea!). Reckon with the right draws we are a decent bet for one of the cups next season. -
Always a problem that one, my nipper took his GF to her first ever game couple of years ago, Ipswich 2 Saints 5! Saints were just simply awesome that night and in the first half it was like watching MOTD highlights with the goals raining in - we had to tell her watching Saints wasn't always like that (TBF the last few seasons there's been quite a bit like that!)

Brilliant night and so proud of the team, Arsenal were poor? I'm not having that! We were just simply sublime for 45 minutes, we made them look so ordinary, as Poch said it was almost total football at times with the players improvising and interchanging positions with great discipline and understanding, we just seem to have so much team spirit and mental strength now it's hard to believe it's Saints we are watching. In days of yore we would have folded at 1-2 and let the oppo play out for the win, not anymore. Stunning performances all round, Cork probably shaded it for me and on this form he must be close to the England re-build post the World-Cup? MS also back to his very best and if he can maintain that sort of form he will be a massive part in the final third of the season. Gallagher was excellent lots of pace and movement, and never hid at all, always looking for it and linked up well when he could, he didn't look out of place at all. Not read all the thread but I thought Fonte and Yoshi had very sound games, the odd streaky moment but on the whole they complemented each other well. Shaw's best game for some time too he really does look like the next Bale when he's rampaging down the left, he terrorised Sagna all night, interesting to see if he stays as a LB or moves further forward next season. Chambers had probably his best game for Saints last night, I'm a huge Clyne fan and I think he currently shades it in attack and certainly in defence with his recovery pace and his one-on-one defending and tackling, but fair play to MoPo for playing Chambers last night, big call and it paid off for him. Worse case if Shaw goes is that we end up with Clyne at LB and Chambers at RB, that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. If we can make the 'right' big-money buys then we have the nucleus of a squad that can challenge at the highest level over the coming seasons, happy days! Any comments on the clash between Shaw and Sagna in front of the dugouts? I was a long way away but it looked potentially a red card? Boruc threw out a high 50-50 hospital ball, Shaw was always in position to receive it, did jump bravely and played it, battered by Sagna who had no chance of playing the ball fairly and who seemed to lead with his arm/elbow (?), Shaw was flattened and Sagna tactically rolled himself off the pitch and out of the ref's way, astonished not to see at least at least a yellow card, it looked late and it looked dangerous from where I was? PS Thought the ref had an excellent game, he didn't fall for their diving and whinging at all and played some really good stuff (for both teams). 10/10, can we have you every week?

Molde old dough? One for the older listeners there.

Maybe they were Nicola 'everyone pays' Cortese's spares? (probably not but we haven't had a good conspiracy theory for 24 hours).
-
Big call - 'feeder club' v 'the project'. £££££££'s - money talks, always. (luckily we seem to have a conveyor belt of talent at Staplewood though the sale of any one of our top boys would absolutely weaken the whole edifice).
-
Not really bothered about either, in fact if they cost money or in any other way distract us from 'our journey' then they are an irrelevance. As long as the number of 'new fans' joining exceeds the number of 'old fans' leaving then our trajectory can only go one way and all is good (or something like that).
-
Adkins CDAJF them .... black is the new red (that one will go down well with the fans and just around the corner). Presume this is a load of cods? A four year apprenticeship from L1 to 3rd in the PL; he would have hoped for something better than bog-standard, perennial under-achievers, mid-table Championship Notts Forest? LOTS of potential but it's hardly Milan is it?
-
Quick, someone photoshop those guys handing their STs back ...
-
Don't get the hate for Welbeck, would be really good in a decent side, CDAJF for Arsenal or Chelsea, would be great for us and a much better finisher than JRod, he would score a hat-full if he played regularly for us. Clyne for England? No chance unless he gets a consistent run of games/form between now and the end of the season, plenty good enough, he should be in the squad, but for various reasons including some under-performance in an under-performing u21 side he has no senior experience. He's rapidly becoming the new Jack Cork, everybody seems to be all over Chambers (who is good, who will be very good, but who at the moment is nowhere near Clyne's level), how soon we forget when a player slips out of the side.
-
Risible, our 'form' declined a) because the fixtures got harder b) the players got knackered c) we had injuries and not enough back-up d) Cortese handed his notice in 0.1% for d Divide the remaining 99.9% between a,b,c how you will.

Never get too high when you win, never get too low when you lose. Life goes on, one love, one SFC. V jealous of Sun'ln last night! (let's hope they don't get relegated now:smug:) Viva la revolution/steady as we go, we're having a really solid second season, we have a top squad of players (who would you take from ManU outside WR, J and RVP? None of' 'em!) It's all good! Let bygones be bygones!! In KL we trust!!!!
-
I had a quick flick but couldn't see anywhere what 'big chances' are?
-
Gutted at the time (still my fave away Saints game ever) but who would now swap that promotion with our subsequent 'journey'? That team would have struggled massively in the Prem and there's every chance they would have come straight back down. I think we have subsequently travelled a much more exciting, interesting and entertaining road, and as a bonus ball we are now in a much stronger position that we ever could have dreamt under the Lowe/Burley dream team..... thank you Leon Best, your OG led indirectly to some of my best Saints-times ever.

Britt pop? Roll with it.

Just the 'divorce' bit I highlighted in bold, it wasn't a comment on the general post. I'm not sure if LD added that bit for rhetorical effect or if that's his real life view of divorce? I think people should be pulled up when they spout bowlocks and that was a dumb comment!
-
That's got to be the dumbest thing I've ever read on here.
-
Decent Lambert replacement TBF. He can play the lone striker/hold-it-up bit, he's fit/works hard, decent finisher, creative passer for others. Would be a good fit in our system.
