Anyone tried the rest of the season predictions recently? I did, tried not to be biased and put in the odd shock.

Saints finish on 43 points and safe. Relegated are Wigan, Reading and FULHAM!

Man U reached 65 pts yesterday which means Saints cannot win the Premiership this season and we will have to settle for a CL spot.

Oh,well maybe next year!

Yet I love the way we play now, its refreshing and relentless. Jack and Morgan cost around 1 million each, they have been awesome.
You can understand why Mauricio is rated by Pep and the perfect one.
Some teams sit back and play, Mauricio's hunt you down.
Rodriguez and Davies seem to be coming into their own now.
Fox I thought played well Saturday.
No Shaw, Fonte, Ramirez, Llana still coming back to fitness and Forren looking for match fitness. Wow impressive display team.
I would suppose it would have to be one of the greats, because of how hard the season has been. Yet I remember the eighties when we would stick 4 past the likes of Arsenal, Utd Liverpool and co for fun and regularly.
I really would love those days to come back again.
In the early eighties the biggest away crowds were where we played. People could not get tickets for anything, everyone wanted to see us. Everyone clocked their highest gates against us.
If you are too young to remember I cannot explain that feeling, You expected to win every game and against the best.

Well done team, well done the manager. Proper football, proper tactics, proper manager, proper chairman; it's all in place now, Saints will win every game till the end of the season.

I e mailed Mauricio on Friday to tell him not to just use Adkins' attacking third press, but also the mid third and defensive third press. Also not to confuse all this with the fact that Nicola banned the press from St Marys, including the Echo.

Anyhow, Mauricio himself has replied ...."Muchas gracias. Por favor se pierden ahora te idiota."

I'll have to get it translated of course, but top man for responding.

Saints made exactly the right decision on not making anymore signings in January. The whole squad is up for it and itching to get into the team...even Richardson is getting game time to cover for Shaw and Hooiveld is looking solid next to the impressive Yoshida! How things have changed from the start of the season.

Finally no more debate on Saints' number one either. There's forwards like Lee and Mayuka who could still play a part between now and the end of the season too!

Happy days indeed Milton Road! Me and a load of mates used to travel up on the train from Poole every home game and go to as many away games as we could. We did think we could beat anyone back then. Could those days be about to return?

A good article, but I would challenge it slightly. MP is not 'fortunate'. Let's give credit where it is due: Cortese appointed the right man for the team at the right time. Nigel did a great job to that point, but MP was available and, lo and behold, his approach to management fits a system (the so-called 'Southampton way') which relies less on the short-term approach of most managers and more on the development of a team- building strategy to move up further through the levels. Compare this with what SAF has done at MU and what Stuart Lancaster is doing with the England rugby team. It's no coincidence that Barcelona and The All Blacks have been doing this for years.
It's also fair to say that Cortese has encouraged the signing of players with a positive attitude towards the team and a willingness to use the excellent facilities (more investment at Marchwood) to get 'super-fit). That's why we should continue beating teams that are thrown together with big wages and the pressure of big-talking agents, e.g Cetah.

Ignorant though I am of Spanish, especially as it is used in Argentina, I would imagine that there is no higher complement from one footballing genius to another than “idiota”.
And while I’m complimenting Confucius on his long overdue breakthrough with the powers that be at St Mary’s, allow me, please, to say a big hello! To all the other idiotas out there following this thread.

Great performance. The only thing that concerns me about the high intensity, pressing up the pitch game is some of our players looked absolutley shattered mid-way through the second half. We have thrown away points from a winning position is this down to fitness? Can we sustain this level of effort?If we can, brilliant, onwards and upwards. By the way, rubbish ref on Saturday.

With a name like Morgan Schneiderlin I think we can safely assume Spiderman's of German stock in that border area. So until we sign a proper Froggie, I think they're fair game.

I think when we play Newcastle, the lads will find they're up against a bunch of sissies who eat snails and and cheese and whose breath smells like bad feet - and who just gibber even when you ask them a simple question in their own wimpy language.

As for cowards, as my great granddad wrote in his diary in 1917: "Them Francarses is all pansies. You can always tell froggie infantrymen cos theys always got sunburnt armpits. Fighting with them's like 'unting tigers with an accordion."

Not that I approve of xenophobia myself of course - so I certainly won't be joining in.

No it doesn't. I've already used it in fact in an e mail advising Mauricio to ensure Luke isn't unsettled by Wenger's lot trying to poach him ie by taking it up with the Arsenal.

Haven't heard back yet though.

What I like about the team at the moment is how every player seems to have upped their game under MP. Lambert, Rodriguez and Hoovield appear to be working so much harder now and were immense on Saturday along with the midfield. Clyne did well Yoshida was outstanding and I thought Fox did really well. When the substitutes came on they all grafted. This is great to see as a supporter your team each giving a hundred per cent. You only have to look at training galleries on the saints website to see how the players are enjoying themselves. I've a good feeling we will win at Newcastle and get a win against QPR! The season is looking up and long may this continue..

Hmmm... I might have used the wrong translator... or should I say interpreter? I have always used this polite sentence in funerals, baptisms, weddings and even catholic communions. It may explain why I was never again invited.

Difficult to be invited back to a funeral El Santo, people tend to have only one...

..baptisms and communions are pretty much the same so I would not blame yourself none of us have ever been invited back to any of them.

Marriages can be messy affairs were the original guests are considered an embarresment 2nd time round, so relax.

..ergo I think your language is not an issue indeed I would suggest that maybe you need to mix a little more, get your face seen and so on then i am sure the invites will pour in.

Thanks for the advice. I will try that. I love free food. I have even a sentence for "Can I eat more chicken, please?" but I prefer not to say here, just in case... the direct translation in google is "Can I please eat female chicken?"

Going to be a really interesting last 3 months and to be playing like this in the prem after these last few years is way beyond any of our dreams really isnt it.

With a bit if luck we could get into the top half and as i went into the bookies at the start of the season and the bloke actually laughed at me and made sone comment about not worrying about losig the slip makes it even more exciting personally. For the record i got 20 to 1. We are now 5s

But really I would just be happy to be safe two Or three games frOm the end and then see what we do in the summer in the transfer market. A bit of strenghtening and a better fixture list at the start and we could have an interesting year.

MOmentum this time of year and being out the cups could suit our game. Alot of teams still playing midweek in the prem

But the one position i worry about an injury sending us back into the mix is lambert. J rod is looking good because of his pace and that make him a very different player but he is slight and gets knocked off the ball.

The rest of the squad have shown they can cover and we have good options to shuffle in midfield and defence

Anyway What a season

I'm sure from a historical point of view, the Frenchies were issued white flags as part of their standard kit!

Yes, great for us and the players to be rewarded for their inherent talent with fear in the opponents eyes..not ours.

We can then all chant "We love Popey, We love Popey."

I too remember the days when we'd thump Liverpool and Man U 4-1 at home, but they were also the days when we'd go and lose at home to lowly teams. Over the years, consistency has not been a hallmark of SFC. The one exception was the 83-84 season, when we finished runners-up to Liverpool, on the back of a lot of 1-0s. At the end of that campaign I remember Bob Paisley saying, to the utter surprise of most of the pundits, that Southampton was the team he had feared most that season. So let's enjoy the euphoria of a great win, but it would be wise not to get too carried away at this stage: there's a lot of hard work still to be done.
