Though he does say "Jet lag is terrible. (5:45 now)"

And of course Jos has already moved somewhere else - to Millwall

Elia's first home appearance - on top of the general euphoria about Saints - should ensure a full house

Nice thread on the Sunderland board about us training at their place: http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/southampton-been-training-at-the-aol.1022385/

"Lay us" sounds less unfaithful than "bet against us"

4th. One thing that's been good for us so far is how few point-wasting draws we've had: just 3, the fewest in the division. If we keep on winning most of our games and avoid draws, we'll make it.

So has the True Geordie become a YouTube brand ranting about whatever he likes?

True, on Betfair we're 2.64 for a top 4 finish and 26 to win the cup. So 10 times more likely for top 4 than the cup.

Definitely play Tadic. He only played 30 mins on Sunday - and it was half an hour of excellence

I don't understand. It's late and I've spent the evening in the pub but I thought the True Geordie was a Newcastle fanatic. Why's he now ranting about Man U like a United supporter?

Oh dear there's a virus going round the Ipswich camp. Hope they don't infect our lot. http://www.twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town-news/26576/?

And this time we'll take advantage...

Ipswich lose 0-1 to Derby - psychological blow ahead of our game

To stop making "insurance bets" against Saints to console me when we lose. It's costing a fortune...

Man U 1-0 down already. If they lose and we win this afternoon we go 3rd

He's doubtful according to Wenger this morning http://www.arsenal.com/pressconference though like you I think we'll see him playing on Thursday

Nor have I. Physioroom for what it's worth has him with a knock, back on Monday http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php

89:01-90:00 if it's still free

Even if the trad top clubs "come good" that doesn't necessarily mean we'll drop down the table -- if we "stay good" we'll still be up there.
