Anything less than a convincing victory will be unacceptable.

This seems a good time to post this quote from Corporate Ho/Banker on POL a couple of days ago

At least we've got Villa next

Tadic takes too long to shoot, cross, whatever. Yes he creates chances but he is a frustrating player.

Once again our finishing ability, or lack of it, is on full display.

Do you remember last season against Everton at home when we played a significantly weakened team due to injuries/suspensions and ended up beating them 3-0...

The more games they play, the busier their fixture schedule will be, which is good news for us in our battle for European football.

From POL That rules out the PFC Ultras then

With Lallana, as far as I am concerned it is all water under the bridge. But Lovren will always be hated by Saints fans. What an utter utter tit.

Everton fans seem to think Laurent Blanc will leave PSG for them as well Koeman wouldn't leave us for them, Everton is a drop down and I can see an exodus this summer.

True. This does seem to be far more than just a kit deal. I hadn't realised there was no information on the actual kit.

Is there really any need for a new thread?

http://www.buzzfeed.com/lukebailey/south-coast-not-lol The choice for number 11 is rather surprising. I'm amazed they didn't choose the most passionest and bestest stadium in the whole of the footballing world.

Young Player of the year is anyone aged 23 or under at the start of the season so the players who could qualify are Targett, JWP, Mané, Cedric, Gazzaniga, Reed, Romeu, Caulker and Juanmi

And on POL, on a thread about half and half scarves, this image cropped up...

Some interesting stats: Out of Everton's total number of points, only 41% of them have come at home, and only Aston Villa have conceded more goals at home than them. Which could be good news as we're one of the lowest scorers away from home.

Just as long as it's not TY or jobsite.com

I think the game would move to the Saturday evening and the match currently scheduled for the Saturday evening slot (which is Arsenal v Norwich) would move to the Sunday Edit: http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/news/2015-16/feb/260216-live-uk-television-fixtures-for-april-may-released.html 5.30pm Arsenal v Norwich City (Sky Sports) #ARSNOR* *Subject to possible movement dependent upon UEFA Champions League participation of Barclays Premier League clubs the following Tuesday. Sunday, 1 May. 4pm Southampton v Manchester City (Sky Sports) #SOUMCI* *Subject to Man City's possible participation in the UEFA Champions League the following Tuesday.

This won't be an easy match but their fans are getting restless and hopefully we can take advantage of that. What's the betting we win this one but somehow lose to Aston Villa next...? That is the Southampton Way.

They were celebrating 'David Norris Day' last week, the famous goal that saved them from relegation and stopped us from going up, of course.

Their game in hand is against West Ham, which is on the Tuesday before the final weekend of fixtures, so at least one team above us is guaranteed to drop points in that fixture.

Come on Stoke as well. 1-1 against the bin dippers currently

We need a Tottenham win against Man Utd for starters

If we turn up we'll beat Everton but seeing as they beat us 3-0 they might be up for it so you never know. I'll predict a draw. We should beat Villa. Man City at home, a point would be a good result, Spurs away will probably be a defeat and we should beat Palace. I reckon we'll get 8 points from our final 5 games. Good enough, who knows.

ART will be very happy to hear this news, seeing as he 'intensely dislikes' Austin
