Basically, Opta can suck our collective balls.

Not quite the 13/15 hoped for. We got 11/15 in the 5 games that followed this post. Two draws, three wins. Just over 2 ppg.

Millwall v Southampton - WIN Southampton v West Bromwich Albion - WIN Huddersfield Town v Southampton - DRAW Southampton v Bristol City - WIN Southampton v Cardiff City - WIN Watford v Southampton - DRAW Coventry City v Southampton - DRAW Southampton v Blackburn Rovers - WIN Queens Park Rangers v Southampton - WIN Southampton v Swansea City - WIN Southampton v Plymouth Argyle ... So, we've drawn three, but lost none so far. We've won 7, but have one more game to potentially get the 8th win that Nic hoped for. Impressive stuff. Fingers crossed we win on Friday!

Got rinsed by their attack in the first half of the game at Plymouth earlier this season, they just didn't have their shooting boots on. I reckon it'll be different on Friday. 2-0 to Saints.

Looks fucking sexy

Not bad. Two points gained on Ipswich. Two points gained on Leicester 😋

Equally, Ipswich were splitting Leicester's defensive lines quite a lot. Promising for when we play Leicester away...

I seem to prefer your narrative

Very true.

So true

Superb performance, especially as they tired second half. This run is mental. Keep it up!

Et un joyeux noel por tout les fans de Valenciennes 🎄

I said I'd be disappointed with anything less than 45 points by the end of the year. Looks like we're on course to better that!

How has he gone from scoring two excellent goals against Spurs away to now failing to net in Championship games... madness.

Superb post 👏

I'm super positive, but can see our unbeaten run coming to an end away to Norwich. 2 days after our game against Plymouth, the players will be fatigued and I seem to remember Norwich's direct runs causing us all sorts of issues at home. Unless we pull off something crazy, it'll come to an end at some point before the end of the season.

Do people expect easy steamrolling of teams every game? This was an game away to a team in good form with some skillful players mixed in with big units. To come away with a clean sheet is great - could've scored more but so could QPR. Let's fucking take it and move on. We've played better and lost, but a bit of that has to be credit given to QPR.

Bit of a shite signing, really. Thankfully it hasn't impacted us as Arma has been pretty great.

3-1 to us. Arma to score and get back on track.

I'd hate watching my team play us, yeah, but not because of style. Simply because it's a tough test. Why does that even come onto your radar? Our style of play isn't arrogant. If a team wants to high and team press us up the pitch, crack on. Leicester did it and rinsed us, so did Sunderland. I don't get why it's an issue for you as to what other clubs think!? On your view that you think our 'style' of football is arrogant and boring, I think we'll have to agree to disagree. You see passing for passing's sake. You see sideways-passing 'crab' football. I see a team trying to tease opposing players out of position to create pockets of space to move and pass into. I see a team that is facing 11 players sitting deep in a tightly packed defensive unit, trying their best to unpick their formation and find a 'way through'.

You need to appreciate the finer aspects of the beautiful game. Come on - you used to hate watching Barcelona? Are you talking about their prime Xavi, Ineista and Messi era? Thank you for giving me a heads up to ignore your football style related posts going forward 🫣

I mean, that was a free kick with a fair bit of venom. Fair play to him for anticipating the power behind it and being quick to pounce after saving the initial shot.

Notable absence of Manning was made so because of how much better we were without him...

Need to keep the lad in January. Be criminal to let him go, as he is surely assured of a PL suitor come the summer, providing we don't go up. We'll see what Kyle and the Club are made of come January, I guess.

Potential to be 4 points behind them?
