missed the game. Very confused by this threat, the usual non-stop slating of everyone during the game, then praise for a great win at the end of it

Top 4 contenders Villa only a point ahead of us. Looking more likely the bottom 3 as it stands will go down. Think we will be ok now, 5 wins out of 19 games required, which is relegation form.

haha yes I recall their unstoppable momentum from last season on here where they won 8 in a row to nearly catch us. Managed 5 wins all season

some good results for us today, Watford and Norwich both well beaten. Think we should be ok, 5 wins from 19 games should do the job

bad time to be playing them, although we should have options to change things up a bit with Adams/Tella/Armstrong bros. Heart says we can grab a 1-1 but head says 4-1 Spurs. At least it's not a must win game following the West Ham result

very concerning the line up, going to be a painful 90 mins.

can't be another stadium we have a worse record at over the last four seasons. Heart says if Adams and Armstrong are back we get a battling 2-2, head says the usual routine 3-0 West Ham

yeah unbelievable, nice to see it was rejected. They are a bit short on numbers but still a very strong first 11

what changes is Ralph going to make to ensure we implode in the 2nd half? In all seriousness, please, please just win for a change

comfortable win for Palace, we can barely win/score even when our strikers are available. Very easy money to be made on the Palace win to cover the cost of Christmas. We will return stronger for the Brentford game. Palace 2-0 Saints (Ayew 28, Zaha 64)

would love to know the 3 players you would take out of our squad to make us 'very, very average'

if we don't get anything from the next 2 games then that could be our season over. it's so frustrating as on many occasions we show a bit of promise, but even the games we have won we have made hard work of.

Arsenal should be able to win this comfortably due to us missing Romeu and Salisu. Having said that, it's Arsenal. Start and clean sheet for Willy, Lyanco with a header from JWP corner in the 88th minute to win it.

the views of fans seem to change from week to week. A few weeks back, there was concern of rumours of him leaving to go to Villa/Norwich, now we can't get rid of him quick enough. There have been some questionable tactical decisions, but this is an average squad; it may be difficult to accept, but we are no longer able to compete financially with many teams in this league. Martin Semmens spoke well about the subject on the Total Saints Podcast recently, and the reasons for not seeking a replacement. This may all change with a potential takeover, but unless we find ourselves in the relegation zone I don't think we will see any change.

still raging, it's become so be predictable. Wednesday night at half time, you just know we wont win the game, same again yesterday. It's such fine lines, we were a few minutes from a big three points and mid table, now we look relegation candidates. This side is incapable of scoring enough goals when on top, it is so frustrating.

just abysmal. Leicester haven't even got going and still scored twice.

3 bets on us to lose this season, against Burnley, Watford and Villa. Hope to continue my losing streak if it helps us stay is.

really bad feeling about this one, Leicester had a good result yesterday, albeit against Watford who largely been a shambles. Difficult to tell who Ralph will pick for this. Saints 0-3 Leicester (Vardy 12, Lookman 32, Maddison 78).

not sure what else was expected. We have won a few games against teams around us recently, and should have enough to avoid the drop. We can't compete with the big boys, weve constantly had a lower net spend than any other team in recent years, that's our level.

wow 3 strikers starting away at Anfield, don't know what to make of that, could be inspired by Ralph or an absolute disaster

I'd hope Ralph might feel now he has a real opportunity with us this season. A few points on the board already and a bigger squad with some reasonable bench options. Last season fell apart but he had so little to work with.

We are playing some good stuff, one day we might win by more than a goal, stress levels through the roof again. All credit to Ralph and the team. He's rebuilt some stability and confidence in the defence, but if we stay solid we can pick up enough points. I would say we could do with a striker like Ings but he's injured, wishing him well in a relegation battle.

creating plenty here and still only one up. Going to be a long, stressful season as we just don't take our chances

that's the sort of goal a better striker would get higher praise for. Really is unthinkable for us to not get the three points now

decent line up, KWP probably in at left back to try and keep Sarr quiet. Really should be winning this, no excuses. Watford 1-3 Saints (Redmond 31, Sarr 44, A. Armstrong 53, 70)
