For once I tend to agree with you. It's moments like that which you tend to group with losing 3 - 4 to Leeds, Peter Crouch shooting straight at the keeper against Everton instead of putting it into row Z. The nightmares just persist......

Ooohhhhhh eerrrrrm, good point, well made. Very late, half a bottle of Taylors port and it's easy to get confused...!!

I just think that our confidence will be shot to pieces after the next two games. We failed to hold on for a couple of minutes at Wigan, lost at home to QPR - not exactly glowing endorsements for any of our upcoming games. Therefore it really is difficult to see where the points will come from. Also not too confident that 37 points will be enough either.

Your theory is actually quite correct. One direction are not a 'band' - well not in the musical sence anyway. Simon Cowell couldn't give two ****s about music - his target customers are the pocket money audience. Kids who rely on their parents to fund their musical 'passion'. And to be fair to him - he's doing very well out of it, bless him. But for all of that - please, please don't tarnish real musicians by mixing the two. Simon Cowell, X factor, all of those offshoots, the act and the fans - really have naff all to do with music.

Expect nothing more than a good tonking - knocking yet more confidence out of us. Feel for RL - he deserves to go to Anfield and get something.

Us and Reading - can't see villa going and got an awful, awful feeling that QPR are going to do a great escape. Wigan will do their usual - so perhaps Sunderland might nosedive into it as well.

It won't come down to Stoke - we'll be gone long before then....!!!

Can't see past a home win, this is the 3 points that will all but see Norwich safe probably - they'll be well up for it. We struggled against 'so called' shyte QPR last time out - so can't see us going to Carrow Road and getting anything.

Great thread - CB Fry running his mouth off again. No change there then.

Absolutely delighted for him. Who knows, he might even get more game time if we get relegated. Either way, very pleased for the lad.

Far worse English owners with Russian brides though....

The defending for the first goal was really, really funny. You do have to wonder what coach was responsible for telling the players to do that. Can't comment about the defending for the second one because there was none - so nobody is really culpable there. At least now we all know we are in a relegation scrap and it's time to roll the sleeves up and go to work, time to see the players battling qualities. Ummmm perhaps not then. The only positive is that if Citeh do Villa tomorrow, not too much damage has actually been done in regard to current position. But lets be honest - if we can't take out QPR at home, after the season they have had - we are in big trouble. Relegation beckons.

I don't really understand why anybody actually thought that we were too good to go down - we've been scraping around the bottom of the league all season. No change to the last 10 years that we last spent in the Premier League.

Conversely, if you are going to make a prediction, and post it on an internet message board - it is there to be commented on based on it's merits. Let's be honest - we are shyte and it was highly unlikely that we were, or indeed are, going to get as high as tenth. There are far too many people on here with rose tints on. Today is a major blow and perhaps all those 'european finish' poster might now have had a dose of realism. We are in a relegation dog fight (again) - we will do well to stay up this season. Unless we start to get some confidence and get our defence sorted, points are going to be hard to come by. My prediction is that we will be closer to 20th than to 10th.

Brilliant thread, funny as ****, tenth ffs ... Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2

Ummm kinda peeved that Rebecca is stalking others on here too. Got a plan B though - Emily is only two miles from me...

...does Rebecca live from you...?

We are Southampton, we'll probably win tomorrow and lose at Wigan - it's what we do...!

errr so what exactly were the exclusives...????

There were a lorra lorra people there: Great day...!

Ball boy went over far too easily - should've been booked for diving imo....

Drama queen...

This. People should also remember as well that had Pocchetino not taken the job, somebody else would have got it anyway. The Chairman was always going to sack Nigel. So let's not get all beat up about Pocchetino, he did what every one of you would of done. On the plus side for Nigel - he couldn't have done his CV any more good if he tried. Lets face it - back to back promotions and showing vast Premier League improvement - damn good credentials for somebody looking for work. Somebody will snap him up - he'll come back to haunt us - we'll all have a wry smile for him.

I'm 54, and it was the best bus ride I've ever been on by far. Thanks Nige.
