    After this weekends fixtures.

    We travel to Forest in what could be a tough and low scoring game in my opinion.

    Other fixtures are:
    Boro V Burnley
    Doncaster V Cardiff
    Pompey V West Ham

    How do you see these games going and do you think we will still be singing our top of the league song at the following fixture?.

    no we won't be top my predictions.

    Forest 2 - 1 Saints
    Boro 3 - 1 Burnley
    Donny 0 - 3 Cardiff
    Pompey 0 - 4 West ham

    This would put us in 4th.

    I think we will drop to second unfortunately but wherever we end up i will be happy as either way be it top or 4th we're still exceeding massively our expectations so I won't be too disapointed

    Wow that would be a harsh drop in one go!

    Forest 1-1 Saints
    Boro 1-1 Burnley
    Doncaster 1-2 Cardiff
    Pompey 1-1 West Ham

    2nd for me!

    It would be rather depressing to drop from 1st to 4th in one weekend after we have been top for so long. But then again on recent form we don't deserve to be there perhaps. But then again does anyone else for that matter?

    I think we might get a result at the weekend, I expect Boro and Cardiff to win, though I have a feeling the skates might get something. Should focus on our own results really though <ok>

    They are some bold predictions mate! Maybe you should have a little bet to ease the pain if true :)

    I agree with your point about the gloom merchants coming out in force.

    We may drop the odd place during the rest of the season, but I still reckon there will be weeks when we are top again. Lambert back and a couple of new signings will see us get some good results. I don't think our play has deteriorated to any marked extent..it's just that we've got all the bad results in one lump. I'm also hoping that Cardiff will get the virus that Crystal Palace have.
    Predictions: Forest 1.1 Saints
    Boro 2.1 Burnley
    Donc 1.2 Cardiff
    P'mth 1.1 West Ham

    That will make us third.

    Correction could still be top as long as there are no goal fests.

    I am surprised that Forrest have not brought anyone in yet much, they need a change of fortune.

    Forest didn't give the funds they promised Mclaren I can't seem them doing this time either, They seem to be a get on with the resources you have kinda board currently.

    The forest game will be a big one for me, its one where we have to try something different as no lambert available, i still believe we have the personnal to be able to beat forest but its whether NA can come up with a game plan. For us to get anything out of this game we need to keep a clean sheet then who knows. I know its against our style of play but surely this one has to be priority clean sheet and then if we score major bonus. Unfortunatly i don't see us being able to do that so i'm going for 2-0 forest and us being 4th in the league.

    Agree with pretty much all of this until the end part I think we can come away with a point maybe 0-0 but as you said with our clean sheet record more than likely 1-1.

    All wrong I'm afraid. I don't care about games 2, 3 or 4 on that list but we're going to start putting our chances away again this weekend. 4-1 to Saints for me with a 3-0 lead at HT.

    Forest 0-6 Saints. Lee and Ward-Prowse score a hat trick

    Boro 0-2 Burnley.

    Doncaster 3-0 Cardiff. Sharp scores a hat trick and is so happy signs a new contract and doesnt strengthen Leicester.

    Pompey 1-0 West Ham. West Ham own goal so Pompey didnt actually beat them properly. And Nolan breaks both his legs in a collision with Carlton Coles cruciate ligament and both are ruled out for the season. Piggyon gets swine flu.

    Brighton 8-0 Bristol City. Maynard is so pissed off he decides to leave and signs for Saints. 14 red cards for Brighton mean they forfeit the match anyway. Poyet is legally forced by the FA to wear a hilariously giant penis hat to every away game after.

    Surprised no-one has said that saints are going to win at Forest yet,so i'm going too! Forest aint nothing special and from what i saw in the first half against Brighton has got me in a positive frame of mind so i'm going for a 3 - 1 win for saints! So we'll still be top come 5pm Saturday! All the other scores don't matter!

    Mowbray inadvertently starts speaking to himself and falls into a narcolepsy induced coma as a result. They fail to revive him and the teams hopes for the season are dashed without him??
