    Dogs walked, coffee on and I'm wondering if I could apply Zen to the art of supporting the Saints. So, Zen is an ancient Chinese form of Buddhism that has become established in Japan, Korea and Vietnam as well as influencing many in the West. It stresses the importance of meditation, observation and insight so of absolutely no use at all for us. I'll hope for the best (3-1 has to happen one day) prepare for the worse.

    Had me going until the punch line. All those positive points, but I started the season not expecting any wins, so I'm still expecting a valiant effort but no points. Everton win was a total fluke, won't happen again.

    Worst home team vs Joint-worst away team

    I suppose it should finish a draw. But I suspect it wont.

    All things are impermanent and imperfect and the way to enlightenment is through embracing this imperfection

    Score? Haven’t got the foggiest. Personally, just hoping for some general improvement over WHU performance. Let’s see.

    Sadly I have realised it has got to the point where I now have no hope for us staying up that I don't even care about the games any more.

    When we brought Juric in I thought it was way too late, but that if he hit the ground running we would have a slim chance. We needed at least one win from West ham and Palace.

    In theory this is one of our best remaining chances of a win this season having already played Leicester and Ipswich at home. And 3 points today would go a long long way to easing the growing pressure on getting more points than THAT record. COYR

    Interesting. Russell Martin used to apply the ancient Japanese doctrine of Bullshido, and that didn`t end too well. Maybe Zen is the way to go ?

    Who mentioned Adam Armstrong?

    Edit; He has more goals anyway, so yes he probably has done more
