    We are due a win. Surely things will have to go our way at some point!
    Watford are a decent side this year though, so it will be tough.

    I'm going for 2-0 Saints. No good reason for this other than we've got to win sometime and I'm fed up with being fed up. :D

    Mane and Van Dijk to score (or any other names randomly drawn out of a hat)

    I was very tempted to do that when I did the possible team.

    How did we get on at their place, 0-0?
    I'll go for 1-0 Saints, Romeu 31st min.

    JWP will get his first goal for the club and it'll prove to be the winner. 2-1 to the Saints.

    I can live with people have a good old moan when we've lost but to moan before a ball has even been kicked is a bit odd isn't it?

    Any more news on Pelle being available? There was a thought at the weekend he would be back.
