brilliant signing. Another one for the creche, we'll have to hire an additional babysitting assistant soon.

Sponsor looks shit, as with most shirts, but it's different and fresh. Best home shirt in years

why is it we always seem to be one of the last teams to release our kits? seems to have happened a lot in recent years, even with different suppliers

early goal for Chelsea. That should just about seal our safety😉

great result, commentators dont seem to be making much of it; its an absolutely massive 2 points dropped there. The greatest club side the world has ever seen at least wont be winning the league.

not looking good for Leeds now, think Everton will survive. Are we actually being talked about as relegation candidates?

it's no surprise clubs are after JWP. He's good enough to fit in at Utd or City, and would get plenty of game time at both. Let's not continue with the 'he won't leave, he loves the club' nonsense. If someone comes in with a bid over £60 million then I fully expect him to leave.

not sure if the poster who wrote about Talksport employing Austin was being serious, as the transcript of the news article is from a Talksport clip. His bitterness towards us shines through on it; Andy Goldstein did point out Leicester are only two points above us. Austin also mentions how we've been on a downward spiral since Koeman, which is a bit of an extreme description imo. If that was the case we'd be lingering in 16th place in the Championship. My main worry would be Newcastle coming in with a bid, which realistically may happen. If they offered, say £80 million, then I think we are selling. I've been JWP's biggest critic in the past, but believe now he could do a job at a bigger club like Utd. Still not sure if, as stupid as it sounds, he's a big enough name.

don't know what to expect, we have a decent record there winning on our last 3 visits. Ralph has to do something to change things but it's difficult to see him getting that right. Brighton 0-0 Saints

yeah Bruno Guimares and Trippier (who's largely been injured)aside, even we would be unhappy with any of the other signings. Like it or not, Howe's doing a good job, even getting a tune out of Joelinton. They have overpaid for sure, but it's not comparable with Pep and City operating in the market of replacing £50 million players with £50 million plauers.

it has worked out very well for them. Of course the likes of Eddie Howe, Chris Wood and Matt Targett wont be of any use to them in 2 seasons time but they are doing a job for now.

the table is not looking great again. 4-5 teams that 6 weeks ago we looked to have a great chance of finishing above, are all now above us. I've tried to support Ralph but last night was a step too far. Being able to set up a team to get results against Man City, Utd, Spurs and Arsenal only to fu ck it up against Burnley, Watford and Norwich is beyond frustrating. Looking like we will finish 15th at best so no improvement on last season. Theres been some flashes of brilliance, but the inconsistency is just unacceptable.

I like Ralph but he should walk after this game. Losing to Burnley, Norwich or Watford are arguably sackable offences on their own, but all 3 in the same season is unacceptable

think we will struggle for motivation. Leeds will be up for this and have picked up under their new manager.Can't see anything other than a comfortable Leeds victory. 3-0

always going to get punished for mistakes like that, sad to see the game finished after 10 mins

A quite incredible collapse over the last 9 days. Absolute waste of time playing out of our skins for a couple of months if we are going to revert back to performance like this. For many sides losing at home to Watford would be a sackable offence. Season over now, we are undoubtedly safe already but would be surprised if we get much more than 40 points.

really not confident in this team right now, despite the fact Watford are dire. I think they will sit back and frustrate us. May be time to give Adam Armstrong a start. Saints 1-1 Watford (Dennis 8, Adams 61)

the end of our good run of form. Unless we invest in the summer, we are going to fall a long way behind teams like Villa and Newcastle. We are safe at least, but would be nice to stop the rot against Newcastle.

can't see is being able to cope with Newcastle in the form they are in. Think we will start to drop a bit now after playing out of our skins for nearly 3 months. Saints 0-2 Newcastle

A crushing defeat was well overdue. We've had a great run, but as painful as it is to say, Villa are a few levels above us

best we can hope for is to take it to penalties, but wouldn't fancy us in that situation. Feeling a little deflated, but at least it means we won't have to play them in the final😉

absolutely raging with that, our only meaningful game left this season. Honestly thought Ralph was better than that. Easy to make some money on West Ham but would rather we had some success. Respect to Davey Moyes though, all to play for on three fronts and puts out a strong side

We have to go all out as our league campaign is pretty much over; we aren't going down and we won't catch the team in 7th. I trust Ralph to pick a strong side. We've had a couple of days extra rest, and West Ham have a busy schedule with upcoming Europa league. Whilst they have a decent first 11, they don't have great strength in depth. Saints 1-0 West Ham (Adams 62)

Have to agree with Carragher and Neville. Ralph is now getting the best out of this team and like it or not, those above and even some below have better squads than ours. Whilst its unlikely, if we keep playing anything like this for the next 10 games we will get close to 7th. Just enjoying the moment though, 2021 was so depressing, a real struggle at times. Great to see us competing with and at times outplaying so many teams

5 points clear now of Champions League chasing Villa, and only a point behind team of the season Brighton.
