Saints face Championship hotshots
8:40am Thursday 9th February 2012 in Sport
Saints will host the Championship’s hottest away side this weekend, as they look to arrest their sliding home form.
Surging play-off chasers Burnley visit St Mary’s on Saturday having won five of their last six road games.
And they will travel to face a Saints team that is suddenly struggling on their own patch.
Tuesday’s 3-2 FA Cup defeat against Millwall extended the club’s winless home run to four matches.
The air of invincibility that Saints have enjoyed at St Mary’s for much of the season is no longer so apparent.
And Burnley will hardly make for welcome guests as Nigel Adkin's men look to turn things around.

The team has belief, the injuries are disappearing.
We play the best football in this league.
We have a squad to die for.
Show some backbone people !!!
Support the team... stop acting like jittery old whingers and see what we have here.
We will break away from the pack starting this weekend and start a run that will see us promoted with three games to spare.
You heard it here first.
You know it makes sense.

In hindsight I should never have allowed him to listen to the TV news. He was only partly relieved to hear that Harry's dog Rosie's bank account was declared innocuous. This at least eased his mind about his 'life savings' - dozens of bones buried secretly in our garden.
But I'm sure that what's really playing on his mind is the 'bung' he took sneakily from the water collection barrel in our garden last summer. He has also heard me singing 'Pay Up Poopee'
and I suspect he's got it into his head that his numerous daily excretions are taxable activities. There was the usual queue of four or five dogs at the solitary lamp post in our street yesterday morning and for the first time ever he refused to join it.
I have explained to him that he has nothing to worry about, especially with his abysmal reading, writing and organisational skills. I also told him that, despite the huge resources devoted to it, the chances of HMRC ever winning anything against Poopee or anyone associated with it seem to be slimmer than Tiddlesborough United's chances would be of beating Barcelona 9-0.
I suspect Fenton will be back before long as I see he's left his secret stash of puppy treats under his bed cushioning.
Bit of a 'geezer' our Fenton, but if I miss the Burnley match on his account he'll regret it.

So, their results are not that good and certainly are there for the taking on Saturday. After the disappointment of Tuesday it's time for us all to get behind the team and show the support the players have become accustomed to.
.
Lets roar on the mighty saints to victory!! COYRS!!

Dualsy is just explaining to JP that he has to work long and hard to pay to go and see JP and his team-mates play. He has a point.I am not sure why Dualsy is still bitter about Puncheon's remark. Time to move on, mate?

We just do not defend well enough and although Martin seemingly comes in for in for a lot of stick it is also very much the case with Fonte and Hooiveld. Simples .......every goal conceded needs two in reply. Chaplow back will help although he will need a couple of games to return to his best. Win Saturday and get set up for an overrated (just as we were) WH
