    Didn't we just beat Stoke on a cold night in Stoke..?

    Pelle has only just recently passed muster because he measured up to the test of ah, but can he do it on a cold night in Stoke..? And the general consensus of opinion was err... yes he can.

    I'm never one for gloating........well........maybe just a bit now and again......But it does have a habit of biting you in the ass......so probably not. My one hope at the moment is to be able to finish way above Spurs......just to get one back on the traitor Pochettino. I don't mind jay going but not to Spurs that in the long run would be a backward step for him as I cannot see them keeping Poch after his first season.....then back to the wilderness for him I hope! Ok I digress sorry.......so no, no gloating .....yet.

    If we draw Hamburg and Steaua Bucharest again I'll be tempted to go, they were the two most memorable European Saints trips, especially Bucharest, the locals were so cool.

    If you're fourth, don't you have to go through a qualifier? Genuine question.

    We're 2nd! The grin which seems to be permanently etched on my face says all. Personally I feel no need to gloat as SFC are doing everything right. This team have me daring to believe there's more. Yes, we'll have knock backs, as we did at Liverpool & certainly Spurs but his team, this vastly improved squad, this manager have got something extra I've not seen for a longtime. Need to gloat? No! Dare to dream? Athletico Madrid esq? ������

    No gloating for me. Just a big grin and the odd sly dig at Spurs fans of whom, living in North London, I know quite a few.

    I feel a question arising whereby I ask not to retire, but be allowed to occasionally visit some of our European offices over the next few years as a "consultant" :wink:

    Exactly. 2nd place doesn't have to go through a qualifying round. I am answering the OP question

    This is the Russian Doll approach to gloating.
    He's so full of himself...

    So, as Saints are certain to win the league, who do you think will come second?

    now, if you could get me into your 'old' company and I could get some of my stuff specified for their sub-contractors, you'd have to accompany me to Burgundy for an audit ... about the same time as Saints are playing Lyon in Europe :)

    Saints are so good, they wouldn't insult us by having someone come second :)

    Does anyone remember a few years ago when it was the "Big Four / Sky Four"
    Man City wrecked that I suppose.

    And who is the "top 6". As far as I understand it Spurs count and Everton do not (despite last years league standings).

    I assume it means the 6 clubs that have qualified for the Champions League proper over the last decade? Last one outside of that group would have been Newcastle wouldn't it?
