‘Rumour’, but thus is a forum so should discuss and not ridicule. I’d take a punt

Don’t see Gao selling an 80% stake for £250m If he did then he really is a good businessman

Just had a look at tickets for Watford away- have they sold out already or is my phone playing up?

Our season tickets are somewhat okay priced in the Itchen North though, and they’ve not sold out. However agreed that they messed up on individual pricing for games. Anyhow- fully expecting us to lose because that is what we are masters at- doing rubbish when expected to win. Unfortunately would say Boufal has had his time here and we need raw pace to start with like Redmond or Djenepo- Boufal better off the bench to unlock a game with a tiring defence, not as a starter. If Redmond or Djenpo are back then would feel a lot more confident tbf. Saints 0 Newcastle 0 my prediction then until we get an update on team news and stuff for both teams. (hopefully Andy Carroll will be missing- our centrebacks just struggle so much against any the big strikers)

Because these players don’t want to leave and prefer being difficult.

I’d choose West Ham going down over Pool going unbeaten over a season.

Think it is slightly premature for this thread! 10pts from next 4 games then can say we’re deffo in mixer! I just think it would be most Saints things ever to have a hand on a European place before shooting ourselves in the foot

Sorry yes agreed- rereading did not mean ‘just about’, thoroughly deserved it would have been more apt

Sweet. 10pts from next 4 please to look up and have the faintest of glimmers for Europe/top 8. However about todays game- win is a win despite some very nervy moments we just about deserved it

Positive= it means 3pm kick offs! Negative= lose out on the £750k (or £1m) whatever it is TV fee We’re no longer attractive to watch so can’t say I blame them

Yep- just do not see us winning. Prediction: 1-1 I reckon Long will score

Right. Dust off and get to 40 points and then have a holiday so we can refresh for next season. Unlikely we have anything to play for now if we lose this

Gosh I really do hate the way Burnley play. Should be on about 6 yellows this half at least. Nothing against the town but if they were to go down no one would miss them

Wtaf

Getting a slightly worrying feeling now come kick off because of the weather conditions! Just hope KWP has a good game today!

Yeah agree. I think if we want top half we need to win these. Away from home would have taken a point

Chelsea did make general sale, remember that much. Only about 40 tickets left at 9am mind. No idea about Leicester. Pool and WHU sold out at Member +

WBA away/Palace away amongst some others he has looked world class, almost comparable to Pogba. Unfortunately though this was probably about 1 every 6/7 games on average. I really do rate him and still think he could have helped reach higher heights especially with the formation we are playing now. However it is clear he values his social media equally, if not more, than the ability he has been blessed with. I’d take £12-£15m now than another loan move

Agreed- isn’t playing to the form we saw in 2016/17 although I think he doesn’t suit the 442 formation- much better when he actually has to sit in the back like a pivot or in a 4231.

yes they're all very good away trips. I was lucky enough (or devoted enough!) to be able to visit Griffin Park in that pre-season game back in 2017 under Pellegrino when it finished 2-2; good atmosphere and enjoyed the terrace. probably won't be lucky with the tickets mind- they'll be sold out to STHs with 5 aways and then the actual match-goers will be closet Brentford fans

Would prefer none of the big clubs that has potential to be a mainstay like Leeds etc go up! Brentford/Fulham and probs WBA would be my preference!

Everton 1-0 up- they’ve got decent results too last few weeks! I get the feeling that whilst top 3 is likely sewn up, Chelsea, Spurs, Everton, United and Wolves will be fighting out 3rd to 7th; Sheffield Utd I think will at some point not keep up with then and us/Arsenal etc aren’t really in it anyway only way we can hope for 7th and beyond is to have the same form we did have at end of 2015/16; if we don’t get 12/13pts from next 5 then think 11/12th is where we’ll be. All predictions though ofc! I think our saving grace is that we have played a lot of the big teams like Pool, Leicester, Wolves, Chelsea already- but we’re equally unpredictable against the supposed lesser teams so who knows.

Mourinho: ‘best team lost’ Spare the words please still not got over that

Because the FA/PL all cheating s**mbags- Even BT’s Mark Clattenburg doesn’t want to come live on air because every man and his dog knows that wasn’t a foul and he doesn’t want to discredit his mates

Vestergaard should not be committing like that
