Sutton on BBC has noticed that 'Southampton look like they have turned a corner', but can't bring himself to suggest that we might actually win. Consequently, he's predicted a 1-1 draw, as has his oppo. Is this a) good, b) bad or c) irrelevant?
Anyway, I'm looking forwards to a spirited Saints performance, with at least some goals, probably in the correct net. As blessed Nigel would say "Don't get too high when you win".
Alternatively, we'll wipe the floor with them, and win 4-0, with goals from JWP, Adams, Armstrong and Salisu. And I haven't even started drinking, yet.

Hoping for a good game, heaps of energy and commitment again and a calamity free performance. Ive got everything crossed that Alcaraz gets a good performance under his belt, that midfield, man, I hope he is the answer :emoticon-0148-yes: I'd be surprised if we don't see Orisc starting too.
 
It was great to get the 3 points against Everton but I didn't think we played particularly well. I think the nature of the game being a high pressure relegation fight it was always likely to be scrappy.

Whereas today, at home, I am hoping for a more similar performance to that against City. High press, energy and aggression. If we play like that I think we get at least a draw, which would help keep momentum rolling.
 
Please please me no nail bitingly close game. This old heart of mine doesn't need it, something tells me we're in for something good!
 
So I've decided that clearly wearing my favourite 03-04 away shirt has been unlucky. Haven't won a league game whilst I've been rocking it. With that in mind we've all changed our normal shirts into a different one from a range of seasons I'm the hope this will break our duck.

Mini Saint and Wonky Saint in the car and we're on our way. COYR.
