SuperSAINT

I def see Swansea finishing above us.

It was similar when we went down last time.

I remember Phil Neville saying he should go there after seeing him in 1 match (Palace away).

Not suggesting that. Genuinely curious how many games people think he's been really good in. Injury seemed to curtail him a fair bit this season.

How many really good games as he had for us?

Didn't he get another bad injury? Poor lad had a horrendous run of them.

Excellent stuff. It might just be my disposition, but cynical Adam Leitch is the best Adam Leitch.

FFS.

I can't imagine us ever getting an easy win under MP. We won't ever play a side as poor as that Everton side this season.

A great read as always. It's made me even more depressed about our chances on Saturday as it reminds me exactly how sh*te we are.

Not even worth worrying about signings until we know what league we're in.

Forgot about that. I wonder if McDonald's is off limits?

Probably worth wrapping him & Bednarek in cotton wool with Yoshida out.

Another Monday, another U23's match. Unsuprisingly no Sims. No Hesketh or Alfie Jones either, so the boys will have to be very good to win tonight.

No! I feel like our best chance of a win is much like the 'Boro game from last season. A rocket from Boufal.

Pretty damning, but wouldn't matter as much if we scored more goals.

There is something to be said for his impact as a sub when we need to score. I was thinking this morning before I read your post that if he starts, MP will probably have him pinned back on half-way.

Yeah, he's out for a bit longer yet. Palace have some tough b*stard fixtures in the next few, but then they end by playing all of the bottom half sides, so I think they will be fine.

I think we all agree it's ludicrously massive, so I wanted to take look at our recent home results in the league to see exactly how we have done. Below are our home results from those games going back to December: Southampton 1 - 1 Arsenal Southampton 1 - 4 Leicester Southampton 1 - 1 Huddersfield Southampton 1 - 2 Palace Southampton 1 - 1 Spurs Southampton 1 - 1 Brighton Southampton 0 - 2 Liverpool - Not much of a shocker to say we aren't exactly dynamite in front of goal @ St Marys. - Arsenal was probably our best all over performance that I can remember. - You could take a fair few 45 mins from that to create a 'worst half of the season' contenders too.

Exactly this. Best corner / free kick / pen taker

We are consistently woeful at home and never quite seem to know what to do.

Palace will be fine once Zaha is fit. I see Swansea & Palace finishing above us.
