I deserve praise for this.

Misguided Missile.

Ollie Watkins.

I'm going to get slated for this but Paul Lambert deserves a decent job. His career hasn't been helped by the fact his last two clubs have been utter shambles.

B-anter

But where are the next points coming from?

uh oh

Rip.

I've got a good feeling about this one. 1-3 to Saints.

What, shooting yourself?

Yay. We can lock dis thread now.

Still winning but we've blown this. Switching off.

Appy is technically right as we didn't play Stoke in the league until we were promoted to the Premier League in 2012. They went up 2007/08 season, the year we stayed up on the final day. In terms of bogey grounds/teams, it is entirely superstitious and Saints have, in the past, suffered a lot from this, IMO. Yeah times have changed in terms of our squad improving dramatically over the past few years but there were times where you'd go to Old Trafford, Villa Park, Anfield, Upton Park (maybe a bad example), Highfield Road etc and expect absolutely nothing. Now the league is a lot closer and anyone can beat anybody but I still think bogey grounds still exist for teams, regardless of the current squad. It's like it's instilled within the DNA.

Yes, I know. It's one t and double n by the way.

Oh, and there's me thinking we had a history prior to the Premier League.

What?

Can't check right now but are you including matches in the Championship?

No bed wetting here – just my two pence. Next up is Stoke. In Saints' current form, I can only see we'll get turned over at the Britannia, which is notoriously our bogey ground. Then we host Liverpool and we all know what happened last time they came to St Mary's. Leicester. I'm sure their title charge will still be in effect as they've got the benefit of their rivals playing European fixtures. Everyone will expect three points from Newcastle but I reckon McClaren will be gone and they may benefit from new manager syndrome. Their record is poor at St Mary's but records are their to be broken. As I said, we're not playing THAT well and everything could change in the next game but, if you go back to the Chelsea build-up thread, I stressed how important it was to beat them as the last time we went on a winning streak, only to lose, we went on a horrendous run and that's the last thing we want at this stage of the season.

Always knew he could make it.

Yeah, called this one before the match. Also predicted we'd go on a losing streak after our seventh unbeaten. It happened earlier in the season. For some reason it takes forever for the team to regain confidence. Absolutely dire today.

Tough game, not confident. No justification, really. Just a hunch.

Did anyone spot the subliminal message? He's going to Man City in the summer.

Dia (Dyer) Road, Shirley. On a more serious note, Kachloul Boulevard, Millbrook.

He means Michael Andrews. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/140698.stm

Ha! A video of more than six minutes on one player and the best bit of it isn't even about him!
