Turkish, you definitely deserve an award for being the most predictable person on this forum. I can't believe you brought that Mane thread up after today's result.... I thought you might, but I still couldn't believe it when you actually did it. It was part: http://youtu.be/VGb9XB_LsKY and part: http://youtu.be/xVt8_0_2hww Bletch, any last chance of putting a last minute new category for most predictable poster? It could be the most hotly contested...

Well hopefully he's just on the way to the Eurostar for a deserved break with his family...

Darn, you're ahead of me in the game. Bad luck Morgan. C'mon saints!!

Now Chelsea looking vulnerable. What a team we've got !

I agree. Targett has been absolutely brilliant.

@SimonPeach: #SaintsFC reverting to four at the back against #CFC. Alderweireld a more capable right-back than Yoshida, but preferred at CB against Costa

Shame we're not going to get to try out the 5-3-2 with Chelsea, I fancied our chances. Still do, just a little bit less so.

Is that as a result of reading the Toby Alderweireld article?

I think there's lots of ways you could take it. But I didn't take it that way at the time. Was he not speaking about a modern way of running a football club - when the manager leaves, it's not a problem as there's more to the system, than just him? Unless you can find a video clip, or extended quote giving more context, I'm sticking with my take out!

Wow, I love his winning mentality, we could all learn a thing or two from this, I reckon.

I like the attitude Charlie... Your confidence is making me more confident. Hopefully by supernatural forces, this will also rub off on the players...

I don't think so. Was tempted to source a last minute ticket... but "life" stuff needs my focus at the mo. Boring, I know.

Cortese's quote was always intended to make a positive point rather than negative. Ie. The club success is down to more than just the manager (unlike the old football way of thinking).

Strange time to be reviewing the 5 year strategy...again... But I never get tired of it. Really was a fairy tale.

Switch Ward Prowse for Mane, and that's a pretty strong team. It will either be our apprehension that beats us, or just a bloody strong Chelsea team. I do like the thought of 5-3-2 against them. C'mon Saints!

Didn't Tadic start the season on the left? Where he was at his most effective? Sounds like a simple switch is the answer to our problems. I'd definitely start with Mane against Chelsea.

Aw, that's sweet Ronald. And we're proud of you too!

You've just accused me of being a porn star?? I'm officially a bit scared of you now Bletch.

A bit gutted this was a serious post about serious football. You sold it to us as flirting!

Me too. I'm not sure I can imagine anyone having the nerve to chat up CB Fry, and if they did, what the result might be. Quite mind blowing really.

Oh please Plastic, you've shown on more than one occasion you're a complete softie. Which is why I regret being mean to you Merry Christmas everyone! Up the Saints 2015!

Hahaha, jeez Bletch that was pretty funny. How come I've not come across you before? You're not on the main site - how come? Do you like football?? I think you've just gained a last minute vote (though not sure what for yet). But I genuinely don't understand all your acronyms...BTF??!

I'm not sure what I've done to be worthy apart from call Plastic a loser, which I now regret. Lady Saint seems far more knowledgable, and Bridge Too Far has an aura of elegance and unflappability. Bridge Too Far has edged it for me this year.

Not sure I get all the Cox jokes, but assuming that's cos it's boy banter. But am I too late to nominate Bridge too Far for female poster??

Thanks for the tech support, that's so manly of you Bletch.
