We are now about 8/1 to win the league, 5/4 to come second and 4/7 to get promoted by any means.

I wanted Ipswich to win, but happy with a draw. Over 18 games, I think we will overhaul Ipswich. I want to maximise our chances of catching Leicester. Long shot, but not crazy.

Bollocks 2-1

Let's be honest, we were fucking brilliant. Ok, shoddy last ten mins, but we utterly minced them until that point. Could have been 5-0 at halftime. What a time to be alive!

I’m serious about first place!

I'm starting to get super-confident too. I think we will catch Ipswich (I think it's more likely we will fall behind Leeds), so have half an eye on also catching Leicester. We are about 12/1 to win the league now...not a total pipe dream if we can keep this run going.

He has been a revelation. Perhaps Championship is his level, but he is sure shining at this level. Also, as many have pointed out, he works tirelessly, tracking back etc. I don't recall that last season.

Stunning performance. We aren't just winning games, we are murdering teams at St Mary's.

So glad to see that university students today are so adept at using apostrophes with such grammatical precision in their titles. E-.

So, we are on the cusp of matching our all time unbeaten run

RM says he's out for Jan, hopefully back in Feb

Saints v Leeds in the FA Cup final on Saturday and then the play off final on Monday? Sounds good to me!

I love the sitting on the dock of the bay idea.... Think lines 5-8 need to be made more footbally/Saintsy ideally. Maybe just one line? So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay Watchin' the Saints win all day I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time I do wish we had a way to get decent songs started that are a bit longer and smarter than the really easy chants.

That period from the 2005 relegation to 2010 was both mental and brutal. I don't have the stats and wouldn't know where to find them, but it sort of feels like 50% of all players in Saints' full history came in and out of the door in that 5 year period. And most were dross.

Any update on Edozie?

If you're going to have VAR, I'd limit it to just checking if either foot is offside. Not a fucking eyelash or a nasal hair.

Anyone think this is where we screw up the unbeaten run? 🙂

Frustrating, but not a terrible point. Especially as Ipswich couldn't beat Stoke who were down to ten men for the last 30 minutes....

Great pressure. Need to be keener to shoot. Arma seemed to play a through ball when he could have had a pop.

Near impossible to get into the England team from the EFL. I’d say THB is a couple of years away. Edozie is odds against for a cap - but if he can perform at a higher level, maybe.

Downes would be a big miss. He is even more important in away games. Wasn’t overally impressed by Shea Charles v Plymouth. I’d probably take a draw - but that’s mainly because I’m getting excited by this unbeaten run record thingy. Which is a bit bloody stupid really.

I think we have cut the gap by 9 points in under a fortnight. Is that right? (not that it contradicts your point)

I’m treating the Bazunu screw up like the Alcaraz penalty…if you’re going to fuck up, fuck up when it doesn’t matter….

Barely. Conceded the occasional stupid goal in stoppage time when we’ve already won. Other than that, it’s been peachy.
