Fraser quality

Manning is fucking toilet. Constantly misplacing pases and getting himself well out of position in no-man's-land.

Aribo's had a fucking good game. Fair play.

FAN DABBIE DOZIE

Their goal was so fucking laughably poor. How much time did he have to place his shot!?!?! Manning pissing about with it trying to cut inside in his own fucking half...

Also, who remembers the days when we used to comfortably win in the PL? Good times.

Hmm. Those saying it never seems like we really play well for a whole game... we're being outplayed by Coventry.

Because their back line is often very close to their goal?

Good play there from Manning

No chance, mate. I beat someone 5-0 with Saints on FC 24 the other day. They were AC Milan. If Saints can beat AC Milan, they can surely beat any and every team in this league every game without question. Hth.

When we were last in the Championship, was it considered a 2-horse race for the top 2 between us and West Ham? I can't remember! What I can remember, though, is Reading coming out of the deep dark blue and racing to the title to pip us.

Excellent point. Very fine margins this year, and too often we've let slip our opportunities to catch up. You only get so many chances.

If we got promoted we'd be slapped around most games, the enjoyment would be rare, and the issues of VAR and big club bollocks would be depression-inducing. Sounds quite unappetising, weirdly. Maybe I'm saying this because promotion this season doesn't look hugely likely? Would I be saying the opposite and looking forward to PL football if we were leading the way like Leicester? Who knows.

Completely agree. How the fuck did we not win at least one cup in those years. And how was it Puel that got closest!??!?!

We'll win this by more than 2 goals.

Draw a fair result.

Villa clearly a far bigger club than us. As if Emery would have even considered us for a split second. You can't hold Rasmus up against a wall for the failure to appoint him.

So we've bettered our form at the time of going into this set of fixtures. Rather than 11/15, we've 13/15. We have this lot still to go. Watford could be tricky. Watford v Southampton Coventry City v Southampton Southampton v Blackburn Rovers Queens Park Rangers v Southampton Southampton v Swansea City Southampton v Plymouth Argyle I said I'd be disappointed with anything less than a 45 point total after the full 11 games. Well, only 8 points to go to get 45! Two wins two draws. I'd now be disappointed with that!

Reckon we can turn them over.

I've a very strange feeling. I think I may well be losing the plot, but... ... I think we're going to win this by more than three goals. Let's try this one again.

Let's sell that out then

I'd wager that this is entirely the case.

I mean, I'd have attitude if I thought I was any good and got subbed less than 10 mins into the second half. Not sure sitting him on the bench will help in any way.

Swap Kamaldeen for Stewart and Smallbone for Charles and I reckon you've picked as Martin will.
