John and Tom are joined by Duncan Alexander, author of Outside the Box and the brains behind Opta Joe. We reflect on Pellegrino's sacking as manager of Southampton and have a look at what our chances are of surviving relegation.

 

Duncan has some surprising statistics for us from his work at Opta, ranging from how Saints are an outlier in terms of performance in the Premier League right that way through to proof of Francis Benali being a lunatic! XG is explained much more coherently by Duncan, and he manages to pick out some of the statistics that point towards Southampton's demise over the past couple of seasons.

 

Duncan has a few quiz questions for us and totally blows our minds with one of the answers!
