SNSUN

Absolutely against the run of play. Was that Fox's fault? My stream is pants, but the camera was all over him after we conceded...

Realised you cannot beat the Don, apologised, and has played some of the best football of his career this season. Long may it continue.

Win this and we're as good as safe, lose this and we're as good as down. Well nobody is saying either, but surely we've never had an easier chance to pick up three points this season. We're playing well, I even thought we did well against Newcastle from what I saw despite losing, and in my mind we'll pick up the three points. That said though, we are Saints and we've all supported the club long enough to know we do things the hard way. Under Pochettino though, all selected eleven players should turn up and give good performances, and add to that any subs that could come on and make a difference and we should be fine. QPR fans are deluded enough to think they have a chance of survival. I'd take our position over their's, and our fixtures over theirs too. For them to stay up would take a miracle of monumental proportions that would beat any of our, or Wigan's, Premier League survivals. The chance of a double over them, and to be one of the clubs that knocks a nail into their coffin, would be sweet. Still nervous though.

Parsnips for me too, forgot them. But only roasted, the wife made me this parsnip pasta recently and I didn't like it. Oh, those gherkins in Maccy D's hamburgers. Used to be a picker, now I'm an eater.

Was he English or foreign? Perhaps American, like your spelling of 'centre'...

Poor player, thank God Shaw slipped into left back with consumate ease when he did. I've still seen enough under MP to think we'll survive but pray Shaw stays fit.

We have enough quality on the bench to turn this around. I still hope for a draw, but keep it tight - the only result that would suck is a heavy loss.

Bloody Sissoko

Newcastle look quite good when getting it forward...

QPR are surely down. Anyone hear the caller on TalkSport last night, saying they could easily win their next five games. The caller then got reminded they've won two games all season. Caller went on to say well they could at least get 9 points from those games. That still won't be good enough egghead. Deluded. Weirdly I met an attractive 19 year old QPR fan in Windsor last night. I didn't mention relegation once... (For the record I'm happily married and was a good boy.)

Looking at the two teams I think Newcastle could do us, but let's not get too deflated if that happens! A draw would be a good result IMO.

My missus loves word jumbles because she claims she's a "fact nut". Yeah, well I've got another anagram for that for her...

I don't have a forum friend, which causes me to punch my parrots repeatedly until they lisp when they squark. I did however meet Hatch once, and found him to be most likeable, especially as we quaffed alcohol copiously, as we intoxicated ourselves side by side in Windsor's 'finest' establishments. When you like everyone, it's very hard to have just one friend.

The biggest change for me is bell peppers. I used to hate them and now I'll have them whenever they're available. I'm also over my onion hatred - it's true, it does make food taste better, though I'm still not a fan of them raw. Also cauliflower, broccolli, chillies, curry (my parents used to buy me fish and chips when they had a curry), different types of fish (besides battered cod), coffee (I swear I'm addicted to it now) and dark chocolate. Of the ones I remember...

Keep them on topic! :-) The Skates saga thread you would need About seventy-three days to read Still it's worth going through If you haven't a clue Of this story of woe, lies and greed.

Nah it's just a silly meme. I'm not sure anyone truly knows what's going on!

Not currently but I reckon he'd love a change of scenery - would he play better with our players around him? Possibly. Still there's not many strikers good enough to play the lone strikers role, as Lambert is doing exceptionally.

At what cost though? English players for some reason cost a lot more than foreign imports when clubs now Premier League clubs are interested - would we have taken the punt on Lambert had we been in the Premier League? Even if we did Rovers would have been looking for more than £1 million I reckon. If a Premier League club wanted Murray now, I'm sure Holloway would be looking for silly money for a goalscorer. Danny Graham has done OK in the Premier League for instance, but £3.5 million was a lot to pay for a player unproven at this level. Then we look at the likes of Liverpool's recent signings, Carroll and Henderson. Silly money.

Games we should win (playing as we are and pending no injuries): QPR, West Ham, Norwich, West Brom, Stoke Games we could win: Newcastle, Swansea, Sunderland Games where points would be a bonus: Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham. All IMO of course - Possibly 18 points from that lot if we continue to play teams off the park a la both Manchester games.

It's actually the recent form table which is the most telling - he's predicted 23 points from us when we have 27 but has only predicted one result correctly (ergo 1 point) in eleven games. He thinks we'll struggle, let's keep proving him wrong. Every forum needs an MLG.

Let's just concentrate on the relegation issue, the sooner we get to around the 40 point mark, or start increasing the gap from the teams below us at least, the better. 3 points at Newcastle would be massive, especially considering the winnable games against QPR and Norwich are to come. A few doable wins and then we can start looking up the table. For what it's worth, I'd still take 17th if offered.

What a surprise, Lawro tipping us to lose 2-0.

August 15th, he'll be doing Rosetta Stone on the beach in Hawaii in the summer, but Nigel Adkins will have tampered with the disc and he'll come out with a scouse accent.

Anyone know what the most expensive Saints team would be in terms of sales for each position? My guess is it would be something like: Flowers, Kenna, Richards, Hall, Bridge, Walcott, Ox-C, Surman?, Bale, Davies, Beattie but I without looking it up I could be wildly wrong...
