Let's also not forget we were a top 4 side for the second half of last season (game 19 onwards)... So this is clearly not just form..
Yeah you’re right. Of course us going top of PL for the first time ever is a bit special for us & maybe you would have thought “possibly” for MOTD? It was only a few weeks ago they gave Everton supporters a special 5 min montage to show their delight. Makes you wonder ?
Ah nice, I was born not a million miles away in Teignmouth but the family moved to Soton when I was 7. How come you're a Saints fan?
https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool...ool-premier-league-title-challengers-19241516... A statistical dismiss of our credentials.. per my earlier comment, everyone forgets we were too four second half of last season having beaten spurs Chelsea city....
I stopped reading when it concluded this about Saints: "Nevertheless, relying on a decent defence with a somewhat limited attacking unit is uncertain"
It's nice to be getting so many compliments though even if Lineker couldn't resist mentioning that game...
And this is exactly why statistics are bollocks. You can use them to draw whatever conclusion you like.
Everton haven’t won a point since that crappy montage, so I’m quite happy for us to go unnoticed by the media for now
We prefer playing the top 6, we've only just mastered the art of beating bottom 3 teams xG is the ultimate attack and defence of anyone's record If its lower than your goals for then you are either not making enough chances or finishing clinically If its highen then you are either making lots of chances or can't hit a barn door and repeat the opposite for xG against basically if we could stop Danny from scoring every time he shoots and get Shaney to shoot every time he sees the goal then we'd be playing better according to this article ... and NOT top of the table, which would suit them fine
Article by Rod Liddle: ‘But look at the side,.......largely long in the tooth, their best days behind them and those best days were several yards short of the full galactico..........JWP. He’s posher than Bamford.....The last of his four England caps came three years ago - though a recall may be in the pipeline.’ Is this the Southampton that is TOP OF THE LEAGUE? Keep up!
"largely long in the tooth"?..... only Ryan at 31 (in the form of his life) and Alex at 30 (not old for a GK) and they are still in their peak years. JWP played for England just a few short weeks ago..lazy journalism at best. What is it about Saints doing well that irks the national press so much?
