Don't forget that Spuds have the advantage of a worse goal difference than us.

Point 1.

The race for 8th hots up !

It is hard to stay motivated when you hit one of your main objectives by mid Janauary...ie safe from relegation.

A lot depends on the Swansea result. If they beat Arsenal, then I think we will go all out for a defeat. If they lose I think we will be very compliant in our defeat. Of course, Spuds have the advantage of having a much worse goal difference than us.

Good idea but I would make it 2500.

Say what you like, the Dalek's always come back.

the word used was 'compliant' as if our role was to allow Leicester to follow the escape script. Having said that we could have been complacent.

True and can you imagine what Europe will do as well. No, better off out of Europe.

Look who's back.

There are a growing number of 'trolls' coming over to my assertion that qualifying for the Europa league is not an ambition for Saints, so it seems.

Or we really don't want Europa League football ! BTW, 5 Live describe our performance today as being very 'compliant' LOL.

Massive blow when Forster was injured. It is not just about Forster's ability but crucially the relationship built between GK and defence. This breeds confidence and almost a VIth sense in knowing where each player is which is especially crucial when under pressure.

I respect your opinion and your argument about attracting better players is the strongest argument for being in the Europa league. However, I do not believe we will spend enough to strengthen the squad for a European campaign that can be draining on resources and finances. If we do qualify, let's return to this issue.

No, I genuinely am not bothered by qualifying for the Europa Cup. The Premier League status is more than enough to occupy SFC. That is not negative, it is being realistic. Sorry of you think that is 'trolling' I can assure you that although my ambitions for the club are limited they are as passionate as others.

Ok, but to finish 7th by default will leave most people feeling that it is a 'hollow' achievement.

We better hope that our poor form is due to 'end of season' lack of interest as opposed to a reflection of our true quality.

At the end of the day there is not much riding on these games and quite honestly I remain underwhelmed by the prospect of Europa football. Let's see what Swansea do now.

Er no ! Having said that we need to strengthen the squad over the summer with some very high quality signings. We cannot be complacent. A lot of people coming back down to reality towards the end of this season.

i don't think they want Europa football and nor do we, perhaps we will both field ineligible players to allow Swansea and Stoke in !

Are you sure ?

5 Live has describe Saints as being 'nicely compliant' Sums it up really. In fact I hope that is the case rather than our true ability. If it is the latter RK will have to add some seriously good signings.

Totally agree. Anyway, Spuds doing their best by now playing with 10 men ! LOL.

I'm afraid so, more and more people are coming round to my way of thinking.

Never take anything for granted, especially our Premier status. Might be better if we Swansea take the European place, but I doubt they want it ? Can we do something to get points deducted LOL !
