It's a Christmas Miracle. Eh.

2-0!!!!

No of course you don't, but finishing chances like that would go a long way to increasing your PL Goal Tally.

When we say 'can finish', basically- we say- if he was a 20+ PL goalscorer. Usually they come from the top 6 clubs (though Vardy/Mahrez this season may well be an exception)

I don't think Juanmi would've made the chance. If Long could finish the guy would be worth £30m+. He doesn't have the technique.

Everything but the finish with Long. ffs

This is why im glad i said on the build up thread- "i'll reserve judgement on martina till the end". Glad he scored that. What a hit, what a legend. Now don't screw it up

Death of Don Howe- who coached them in the 80s

7 minutes. Long. 3 offsides. Having said that, all he needs is that one run timed perfectly for a goal.

Hopefully we do play 442- and just attack. However that might play into Arsenals hands- with Wenger even saying that possession doesn't win you games and hes changed to a more counter attacking football. So actually- maybe a 4231 with vic and clasie holding, mane in the no. 10, and davis/jwp as inside forwards rather than out and out wingers and obviously long up front. As for Martina- i'll reserve judgement till the end. This is his chance to shine.

Cedric today, Yosh two days later for me. If we are to rotate.

Merry Christmas to each and every one of you on here. Saints (and Santa)- give us the present we all want please.

We have to sell him because, unless he signs a new contract, this is the last year (2016) where we can get decent money for him. Sell him in 2017 and he'll go for cheap like Clyne.

But then imagine if he turns out to be a Suarez Jokes- he'll be an Altidore.

Trying to put a positive spin on what is rather a depressing forum mate. Regardless- if the DM is right- nice to see we are looking to get someone like Remy in.

Daily Mail claiming we are front runners for Remy.

And then suddenly we beat Everton 3-0 with a 352 formation and no Morgan or Wanyama I've mentioned it in the past... We always do crap around this time of year.

Championship has some great talents- if this guy is the new Jay Rod or an 'Ighalo' or does a good job then come on Saints. I'd take a punt- especially on this form we're in.

Liverpool losing 2-0... If only we had one just won of our last five games. So annoying.

I do agree here. Especially with the Prem money next season. We must remember that this is only our 4th season. Also- top 4 is a 5 year project right- so let's not judge it because we haven't got there yet- 10+ years of Prem would be nice. Football changes within a season easily.

I don't think any of them on the pitch would've scored that chance.
