So could Ralph get PL manager of the month after all if we win tomorrow.
Will be won 3, drawn 1
OGS won 3, drawn 1
Ralph or media darling?
We have to win first.

I know what you’re saying, but I’m a Saints fan. Let’s get a bit more of a gap before we start getting too ahead of ourselves.
I understand that but I've been to 2 games with Ralph as manager: Cardiff and Everton. The improvement I've seen in the team makes me 99% sure we'll stay up comfortably. We carry on with averaging a win every 2 games and we will be cruising in mid table by April.
Don't be silly....all things being equal it will be OGS. Everyone knows it is much harder managing United with the players they have than managing Southampton.
That. I think we're likely to extend the gap, but our wins to date have not been of the comfortable variety. We're still too fragile to start declaring ourselves safe, never mind a top half team.
Until the end, when it wasn't.
We're surrendering 1.5 goals a match since Ralph arrived; that's an improvement, but it's still bad, because we're fragile defensively. That's right around the goals allowed pace we had for all of last year, when we very nearly got relegated. Our biggest improvement has come on the attacking side, where we're suddenly scoring goals for fun, but I'm some distance from declaring that we're now an elite attacking unit now and forever.
Or Redmond, or Hojbjerg. Or just a bit less good fortune; our match-winning goals against Everton and Leicester were both put into the net by the opposition. Might've won anyway, but we cannot count on the intervention of Blondie McFlappyhands and Frenchie Sainte Toepoke every time out.
I love your posts schad, it's like being on the bridge of the enterprise with Data! 
Logical & statistically sound.

Exactly. Similar to Liverpool if they lose VVD, Salah etc, it ain’t over. I get where Tom is coming from, but it’s far too fragile right now to get too confident.
Some interesting posts on here earlier in the night, some of which I “liked”

Heh, I have the same range of facial expressions and vocal inflection, too. Once had someone tell me that it took them a couple months to figure out that I was joking about just about everything, because I always seemed deadly serious.
