Last three games

So what are our predictions for the final showdown? Three games left, two of which are against tough opposition. And Palace are never easy to play against. Will three wins see us finish sixth?

 

The first thing to grasp is that Saints are quite capable of beating Spurs and City and losing to Palace. Hoping for 9 points, but suspect we may get 4.

 

Well, I said from the start that I wanted a minimum of 61 points this season. So 7 more would do it. We're quite capable of 9 or 0 though.

If we did make 61 it would be a tremendous achievement.

 

7 points

 

4. Draw, loss, win

 

7 - WDW

 

You trumped me FLT - DDW = 5 points!

But l want the draw with Spuds to be the game that gives Leicester the title...

See Pooch wants to be off the PSG; prostituting himself in the press l see, well that's a surprise...

.....not

Source? I just hope Harry Kane et al are getting some language lessons. The French can be very snotty about foreigners not speaking their lingo.

Still, now maybe Morgan can get that transfer to PSG.

I'll settle for 3 points - beating bloody Spurs!

 

Palace will be focussed on Wembley so we should win that one. City thinking about Real Madrid and Spurs will have given up so .................

0 points then

You've got to love him

 

It's weird, when stuff like that is posted about Ron we know it's false: "Yes, it's a journalist making it up" or "misunderstanding" or "taken out of context". But when it's someone else, the papers seem to get it just right.

Yeah, so, what's your point?

 

This falls into the category of someone being interviewed for a foreign publication and trying to keep all doors open....because you don't know what the future holds. Like Ron and Barcelona. But let's put all logic aside and just laugh at Spurs Their fans won't like the statement that a Spurs manager dreams of one day managing a big club

 

Even more than this, we are stretching what MP allegedly said. He loves PSG, one of his former clubs apparently. Maybe his French is better than his English. Maybe he loved living in Paris. All he seems to be saying is that it would be his "dream job". Isn't this like someone like St David of Beckham admitting he'd like to manage Man Utd? Except in this case, MP's reputation as a manager is better!

If PSG want a manager (and I don't know the politics of that club) then they'd be stupid to ignore someone who has been so successful at Spurs. Let's face it, this is the nearest that any Spurs team has got to achieving the inflated ambitions of their fans for decades. If MP continued his "home grown" policy at PSG the French FA wouldn't be disappointed either.

 

I can just about tolerate Ron being linked with Barcelona (who let's face it are basically Saints with a bit of sun ), but I'd be sniffy about PSG (please do not apply logic here) so can only imagine what Spurs fans (with delusions of grandeur, unlike Saints fans) make of it. Let's just lie back with a cigar and enjoy the moment.

 

I don't think MP will leave Spurs. He knows and, if we're honest, we know that he has a good chance of winning the title next year. He'll stay.

An ex-player (sorry, name gone) said yesterday that in his experience teams that just fail do not go on to win the next season, but tend to fall away. Don't know if stats bear that out, but it was certainly true for Liverpool. I think it will also be true for Leicester....the title is a huge achievement, but they may do a Blackburn in the future (hopefully without eventual relegation). Both Spurs and Leicester achieved impetus, but that is hard to repeat.

 

I agree with the principle here, but Liverpool's problems stemmed from losing Suarez and buying bargain bin players from Southampton! Oh and having a dick of a manager.
