Given that Radio Solent have persisted in stating we have lost 9 of the last 11, I'm worried they are operating 4 days ahead of us and already know the result.

Pedantic statistical point : Saints have lost 8 in 10, not 9 in 11. Palace 1-2 FA Cup Norwich 0-1 EPL WHU 1-2 EPL Arsenal 4-0 EPL Spurs 0-2 EPL Palace 0-1 EPL Villa 1-1 EPL Liverpool 1-6 League Cup Citeh 1-3 EPL Stoke 0-1 EPL Before this we went 8 games unbeaten since the Man Utd loss - 6 wins and 2 draws.

Would that be Ralph's job ?

And August, September, November, December......

Merro is wrong. We have played 10 games in all competitions since winning at Sunderland.

If you treat the Arsenal gaame as a 'blip', ( it was so out of character ), and exclude it from the results, we have scored 6 goals in 10 games since beating Bompey 2-0, and 5 of the 8 defeats have been by one goal. The problem, to me, may not be at the back, but up front. The failure to find genuine support / cover / alternative for Pelle is hurting.

Both now drawing.

Is it your goal to get your obsession with relegation registered on every thread on the forum ?

First ride out for a while today; the bits of flooded road were expected, the young chap rolling his car in front of me wasn't ! Luckily both he and his female passenger got out unscathed. He said he's going back to his motorbikes - five years of biking without incident, he's only been driving for 2 months.

At present, I don't. If we don't get a reasonable return from the next 4 or 5 games, and the north-eaterners suddenly, magically, find some consistent form, that may change. For a non-drinker, my glass is is usually at least half full.

How many games do you think Sunderland and Newcastle are going to win out of their last 18, considering they've each only won 4 of the 20 played so far. 40 points has been 'safe' every season since 2002-2003, ( WHU went down with 42 ).

http://www.whoscored.com/Regions/252/Tournaments/2/Seasons/5826/Stages/12496/TeamStatistics/England-Premier-League-2015-2016 This suggests we concede 12 shots per game, and we have conceded 24 goals in 20 games. In comparison, Liverpool have conceded the same number of goals, but from fewer shots per game. I'm more concerned about the fact we don't convert our chances - for instance Leicester have fewer shots per game, but have scores 11 more goals.

TBH, you predict a relegation scrap before the season kicks off. Every season.

This.

If you replicate the last 3 results we would take 18 points, and finish on 42.

He's got his chance now.

Change of target - If Long had shown a tad more composure, we might have got something at WHU and won today. Generally, I don't think our play in both of the last 2 games was bad, but in and around the opponent's penalty area we are severely lacking in a killer instinct.

In the last 10 games both teams are W3 D2 L5.

Newcastle have taken 1 point from their last 4 games, a home draw with Villa.

That's the way it is. Money talks, and agents call the shots.

But it's also 7 points to Palace. Can you see us making that up ?

I can't see anybody wanting to make an offer for Vic, based on his performances this season. Mane has to be kept - the mistake today was trying to get through the game without him, just to make a disciplinary point.
