    Was it a Lambert or Le Tiss penalty though? ;)

    We could turn this into a drinking game. Might help take the edge off.

    I think this might be one of those nervy games settled by the single goal, hopefully it goes our way with a bit of magic from Danny...maybe.

    Of Sheff Utd's 31 games in all competitions, I make it that 24 were settled by one goal (or drawn). So yes, a close game is incredibly likely.

    They might be adverse to winning, but our 3-0 crushing of them in December is very much an anomaly for them.

    Matchday and an incredibly important one at that. With City coming up this is our only realistic chance of ending this awful run heading into a season-defining set of games:

    Brighton
    Bournemouth (FA Cup)
    Burnley
    West Brom
    Palace

    Absolutely massive if we win today.

    Over the last 14 premier league games we have scored just 7 goals.
    0.5 goals per game, with only 1 second half goal.
    However, the last time we scored two goals in the second half, was home to Sheffield Utd, Dec 13th. Straws and clutching.

    Had a dream last night that I met a very despondent Ralph who said that Saints were broke. :( He then went with me to have my dog groomed.....so may not happen. :)

    Nice. I'm doing it. If I never post again, assume I've died.

    The ref misses a blatant pen for us and VAR agrees with him.

    We get a goal disallowed for a strand of cotton on the shirt being offside.

    After Lockdown one, we went into Norwich away on 30 (or maybe 31 points) and a few on here were worried about relegation.

    The rest is history.

    This is our 'Norwich Away 2020'

    Although if we don’t, that run of games looks like opportunity knocks

    It's really annoying that the Man City game got plonked into midweek (thanks to the League Cup final being moved). Because before that, our season was set out to restart from today. A great run of fixtures, generally nicely spaced out between each other.

    In true Saints fan style, I am worried that we scrape a win today, then get battered against City, and back to square one again.

    Though in true Saints style, we'll probably get battered today, then scrape a win against City, so...

    True, but with confidence at rock bottom I'd say it may well be an opportunity we struggle to take.
