SNSUN

Villa pants but we did play well from the bits of stream I saw. A decent win that should see us safe and looking upwards again. Norwich, Bournemouth and Villa for relegation for me, though West Ham, Watford, Brighton and Newcastle are all really trying hard to be as crap as them.

Bloody hell Che you can do better than that! BLOW THE WHISTLE!

Get those insurance bets on!

Decent close control but wasted. If the shot isn't on and you're one nil up you need to be running towards the corner!

Nuns will always be sexy. Fake ones, not real ones.

Worth the jail time. I’m also having a lucky vape too.

Ooh I haven’t done that for a while, there’s two of them now.

Pleeeeeeaaaaaaaasssseeeeeee can we have nice things for a change. Like a second goal...

Get the job done today Saints. Ings has yet to score so that’s encouraging. They still have weapons to annoy us though so we need to be careful. 34 points (and a 9 point gap from Villa) should be concentration enough for Saints players. I’ll make a prediction today - Adams will come on and score his first goal.

Hes still ours, if they’d have wanted him for 15 million I’d have ripped their arm off! More pressure on him to score at Leganes now of course...

Liverpool are letting Lallana go in the summer on a free transfer. So simple question, would you have him back here? It’s a no from me. West Ham signing written all over him.

While not first choice at the start of the season and bar the odd game since when he’s been rested, Ings hasn’t missed a game through injury all season and looks fitter than ever. Yes his reputation for injuries is well known but it’s more likely we lose any other first XI than him currently, so that’s an odd feeling to have. Yes it sucks we’ve lost Redmond, not that his stats have been great this season but he’s important to the way we play, and yes it’s worrying we’ve seemingly also lost Boufal at the same time after a decent performance, but it would take a **** up of epic proportions even we would be surprised to achieve to get relegated. We have some favourable fixtures compared to teams below us for the rest of the season. A couple of key injuries have unnerved people but it’s time for the rest of the squad to stand up and be counted.

Villa next. That’ll be the gauge of where we are currently.

Burnley are the Stoke of the 2020s.

Fouling bastards. Hate Burnley.

Just as I was leaving work, my colleague had put the game on his iPad, and as soon as I saw the corner I commented that the wind would take it in. If I know that, Ings should. However it was still freak and he’s been blameless this season otherwise. Boufal going off is a shame, I was listening to Talksport on the drive home and it sounded like he was having a cracker. I’d take a draw today, the weather sucks. Get the win against Villa next...

I hope it goes ahead. I need all the money from my insurance bets to fund my boob job on Monday. I’d like to see Djenepo do something today, even if he only has a cameo. He started the season well but has suffered since his injury and Armstrong’s strong form.

I think it will be a higher total but have worked it out as 38 (not that it’s an exact science!). Bournemouth who I think are in real danger of going down, are on 26 points and relegation form is around a point a game. With 12 games left to play for them, that puts them on 38. It’s very possible it could be higher though, Watford have stalled slightly in their new manager bounce but have the players to fight, West Ham have the best team on paper (but some god awful fixtures they need to get some results from), Villa seem to want to make a fist of it also. If we keep playing well we will be fine but need those 7-9 points for comfort. As for Shane, I would totally give him a year contract, maybe with a second year on condition of games played or goals scored, but I’d be hasty about giving him a two year deal. His legs could go in that time and we’re left with another old crock sitting on a big salary that we can’t do anything with. And what if Ings leaves in the summer for big money? Suddenly we have his less-good strike partner left. Can Long be improved upon? Yes. But I’d give him a one year deal before finding out.

Even at 33 he’s as fit as he ever was and is key to the way we play, and seems to have a decent partnership as foil for Ings. (As long as we can keep hold of him next season) If we can’t get someone better, then I’d give him a new contract. But only for a season, and he might think he can get a two year deal elsewhere.

Vestergaard in to counteract their long balls?

A win puts us 3 points behind 5th place. Let’s concentrate on that European spot! (I found some happy pills.) Good to hear about JWP. Would have been a huge loss for the season. KWP debut?

Just found out I can make the Norwich game if we get through. Which means it’s not meant to be... Come on Adams...

Armstrong for Boufal. How fit is he...

Would love Adams to come on and score a winner here
