Saints Stuff

[tomw24]

Time for a bit of morale-boosting.

Saints have 20 points from 12 games, and are more than a quarter of the way through the season. If we carry on at this rate, even allowing for a couple of bad runs like the 4 losses in a row, we will finish with around 76 - 80 points. In every single season that the Championship has existed this has been enough to make the playoffs. A couple of seasons 80 has been enough for automatic promotion.

Last time we were in the Championship in 2011-12, we were promoted with 88 points.

Personally, I don't think we'll have another run like the 4 losses we had. I believe Martin when he says we'll only get better as the season progresses. Sure, we'll draw games we should win and lose some games but our squad is nearly as good as Leicester's.

That's jinxed it then

Don't worry. He wrote this on the Hull match thread:

So that's our latest good block of 4 games done. Our season seems to developing into a pattern where we have 4 good games followed by 4 **** ones. So we're ****ed for the next four.

He's counter-cursed himself. We're safe. For now.

I'm with Tom on this, progress is being made and players are blending Russball is evolving.

By the way is there any evidence for the jinx? Or is a figment of the forum's collective mind?

But did he have his fingers crossed behind his back?

Only Tom can answer that.

Off the top of my head the "Jordan Ayew never scores" one was a goodie.

Tom puts himself in the firing line by making a lot of hyperbolic statements and predictions. Most probably come true but there's obviously been a fair few that haven't, and they're the ones that stand out obviously.

I remember when Tom exclaimed Dominic Calvert-Lewin wasn't a threat before he rounded off a 3-1 win

Not related to Tom, but I was once sat near someone who said Harry Kane was the worst striker in the PL. Football fans opinions and predictions often go tits-up. The more outlandish the better

I am interested to know why the highlights being put out on Saints official channels has the radio Solent commentary rather than the new “official” version (Wilding and Hammond)?


I find the Solent commentary far more preferable so I’m hoping it stays!

There seemed to be a problem with the broadcasting on Saturday. First half the picture quality was awful, and there was no commentary. When commentary finally came on I was getting the Hull lads rather than Hammond lol.

Might have missed it. But both clubs got small fines following the handbags at the final whistle.

Meanwhile dear ol' Salisu has disappeared off the face of the Earth ever since he got his big money move to Monaco.

Quelle surprise!

He arrived unfit and then had surgery a few weeks back. Looking a good £15m for us so far

I do like that they don't think you just bring staff in when you hire a manager and that's the end of it.

Georgson and Calderwood have come in since, which suggests they are open-minded internally and keen to keep strengthening the collective skillset.

Did exactly the same when he signed for us. Had an recurring injury that stopped him playing a year. All his injuries are so damn suspicious. The guy just can't be arsed to play football.
