Unbeaten in 4 now - can we keep it going? Will Mauricio get that record? DTLW
I'm on a roll anyway! I've done two threads under Pochettino, two wins, 5 goals scored and 1 conceded.
Not expecting the easy game many are expecting, they stopped Liverpool playing and could have snatched it late on. An early goal would be fantastic, but we just got to keep the ball and not let them churn the ball in to our area, and this time hopefully our game plan will not be to foul Carroll continuously! Going for a nervy 2-1, with Jay and Gaston getting the goals! COYR
It's funny how our goals scored and goals against is the opposite to West Ham's over the last 6 games.
True. I think the fair way to do it is when you lose a match it's someone else's turn. When we draw it's first come first served.
Obviously would accept that....but, as I am going to the match, I would prefer it be a little easier than that. Can you imagine if we scored in the first minute and then had to hang on? Valium, anybody?
Still think Guly will get a crucial goal sometime before the end of the season.....will it be this week?
3-2 to Saints. Hooiveld 1-0 Carroll 1-1 Half Time Gary O'Neill 1-2 Rodriguez 2-2 Guly (injury time winner!) 3-2

Saints 2-1 win. I hope.
