Shroppie Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 Saints will beat Man City Then we'd be six points clear of the relegation places and it would look like a comfortable season. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 Dreamt last night that we were 5-0 down at half time and both teams were down to 9 men while Swansea were 1-0 up. We came out and got a goal and I think they did too. Swansea won 3-0 and I can't remember how our game finished but we ended up staying up on goal difference by two goals.

OldNick Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 Iam concerned about the clubs complacency. When Austin was interviewed after the game the other night he brushed off that we could go down. Unprofessional and such an attitude my spark a team like City to think lets go for it. Get to half-time 0-0 or just 1 down and I will be happy, but if we start off slack we could get intoa lot of trouble and become very nervy. I hope my concerns are unfounded but watching Saints for over 50 years has made me more negative than I should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine Pep will just pin the transcript of the interview on the dressing room wall. That's all he'll need to do to rile up that squad. Personally I'd like to see Pep animated on the touchline raging and bellowing at the team that if they're only four-nil up after 70 minutes that they must attack attack attack to make sure they get to seven or eight just to get back at Charlie Austin. I imagine he'll make some serious attacking subs if that is the case. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 Charlie Austin, speaking to Sky, reckons*Southampton*are nigh-on safe. They will only go down if they lose heavily to Man City, Huddersfield take at least one more point, and Swansea thrash Stoke. ““It’ll take a nine-goal swing [actually 10],” says Austin. “It can be done I suppose but … our hard work paid off today. We need nothing less than a win because we knew they have Stoke to come at the weekend. I’ve been relegated before at QPR and it’s a sad, sad feeling. But the gaffer has come in and turned it around, put some belief back into the team. We were down there because we weren’t good enough but the manager has turned it around.” "It can be done I suppose" What an absolute disgrace of complacent complacency I have ever seen in my whole life so I have.

wild-saint Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 Man City players will have half an eye on the World Cup and won’t want a saints team battling to keep the score down at risk of some wayward tackles causing word cup ending injuries. They will want to win but not convinced they will be chasing all that hard for a romping. Well that’s what I hope anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 Proof that Stoke fans are the worst in English football No doubt plenty of saints fans would be the same if the shoe was on the other foot (see defectors watch thread). I understand where stoke fans are coming from. It must be ****ing galling to see a manager who ****ed up your club and ultimately contributed to your relegation get a job at a relegation rival club, keep them up, celebrate staying up like he is a life long fan and pick up a million quid bonus to boot...
