    Good point, Liverpool beat us 4-0 last season but we were as good as them for the first hour.

    I think we probably will lose here tbh. City are certainly 10x the team Arsenal are.

    City are a better team.
    They have more depth in quality in the squad.
    They have better players.
    Probability says City should win.

    However it’s 0-0 right now and this is football. It ain’t over til it’s over, right Lenny?

    3-0 aguero hat trick.. we love giving out of form or injury striken strikers goals.

    In all honesty I'm expecting a loss here so anything more will be a bonus.

    We then have:
    - Fulham away
    - West Ham Home
    - Liverpool Home

    All before Shrewsbury where we can possibly consider that a "rest".

    If we do lose Saturday then I'd be hoping for 4 points minimum from those games to stay in that Top 8 group.

    A wise man once said “Hard work beats talent, if talent doesn’t work hard”.
    Let’s hope City turn up in slippers, to help the cause.

    Certainly be a good time for Ings to rediscover his best form.

    I honestly think we should be prioritising the FA Cup this year. We can beat anyone on our day and this seems like a perfect year for us to have a good run.

    Absolutely. When we had our episode with Deano he said that top ten and a good cup run would be a very good season. I have to agree. Even if we finish 8/9th, if we can get far in the cup then we can consider that a bloody good year.

    Portsmouth, Gosport and Havant into tier 3. So any Saints fans in those areas will not be able to attend matches. Also Surrey and Berkshire from areas relatively nearby.

    Wonder if Saints will go to effort of recalling already allocated tickets.

    They will invalidate any tickets from tier 3 postcodes.

    Given how useless the ticket office is at times I wouldn't bet on them sorting that and the reallocation in a day and a half.

    Depends how many there are I suppose.

    That must surely be some kind of potentially explosive combination, like mixing nitric acid with ethanol.

    Yes indeed but realism, common sense and logic are in short supply amongst the football fans fraternity.

    Of course it's bollex. We football fans are level headed realists who never let superstitions rule our support.
