    QPR (H)
    Spurs (A)
    Sunderland (H)
    Stoke (H)
    Hull (A)
    Leicester (H)
    Villa (A)

    Not getting ahead of ourselves, but after a gritty 1-0 win today we're into second in the league with favourable fixtures in the next few weeks. Where do we think we'll be before we enter our tricky run of games in December? Top 6 looks achievable going into December, not many would have said that in the Summer!

    No idea. I HATE predicting games we think we "should" win, as they tend to be the ones we cock up in and disappoint.

    Don't, just don't. Looking at that list, the temptation to let the mind wonder is very strong. Must resist.

    I hate to speculate (well that's a complete lie), but think we will be in top 4, these team is still gelling (we got a little lucky today, but still beat a good team on their own patch)- Gardos, Mane, Toby still to find their feet, Long to nip back to Reading to find his scoring boots! - It is agreat time to be a Saints fan & the last 5 years have been preet good - but this feels better (after the summer) - HUGE respect to RK

    Lets just take one game at a time and see where we are when we play Man City.

    Let's just take each game as it comes and get ahead of ourselves.
    Remember how quickly it unravelled last season following a few injuries to key players

    That is so sensible - but football is about dreaming - we all know it will end in tears, but for those few moments of magical hope- lets dream

    Here's a question. IF the footballing lords looked down and sent a message to you right now, declaring that you can only win one of the next two games.... Which wold you choose, Twitchy or Poisonttino?

    Poisonttino: Still raw, anyway I think some of Jo public is catching on that saggy is really not that good, and think QPR will have a big battle on anyway this year

    There is no room in life for a grudge or hatred...life is about forgiveness...now let's grind Spurs into the ground so far that they don't dig their wait out till Christmas.

    Spuds, without a shadow. We are still educating the 'grass is greener' lot, but there's still work to be done. :)

    Just remembered that Rednapp got us relegated...and I do blame him because he didn't care and the team picked up on that...so let's destroy QPR as well.

    In our season back in the championship.

    Leeds 3-1
    Torquay 4-1
    Barnsley 1-0
    Ipswich 5-2
    Millwall 1-0

    Have looked through programmes recently and since those results the best we have got is four wins in a row then a draw.
