    West Ham lose at home against Arsenal, so this one is a genuine 6-pointer now.

    Who will be in charge of West Ham on Saturday? Or will Pellegrini be given more time?

    Have to think if he is not gone by Saturday losing to us will be the final straw, like it is for most managers as it is ****ing embarrassing losing to us atm

    The word on the street (reddit) from the ITK (exWHUemployee) is that if he doesn't get a result on Sat he is gone, he's usually right abut such things. The players have lost faith in his boring sideways slow possession football, it's not working and he refuses to change. We bought a £45m 6ft 4 striker who he completely isolates and who never gets a cross because we have inverted wingers, our defence is a shambles, and the midfield has been over-run for 2 ****ing seasons so we sold 2 and didn't get any replacements.
    And then there's the fact Roberto had 7 (YES SEVEN) starts and ****ed up in every single one and had to punch the ball into his own net to finally get dropped.

    Not much fun down here either.
    So, lets ignite the battle of old.
    Except this time, 2nd place gets nothing.

    No, but we did get absolutely stuffed 4-0 by a team 2 divisions below us, at least your drubbing was by a team in the same division. (by all acounts we were lucky it wasn;t more.)

    If it's any consolation I do use your club as an example of why Gold and Sullivan aren't the biggest ****s who own a premiership football club.

    Don't be silly mate, we're not allowed to criticise Gao - It's purely xenophobia ya know.

    Fortunately they have benched haller in recent weeks for some reason - he could have a field day (carroll esque) against us so hopefully he will stay there

    because he's completely isolated and we never cross the ball.

    Sounds like they might be in need of a RB who can’t cross...

    I think it’s safe to say that football will be the winner of this game.

    The 19 people who tune in to watch are in for a treat

    an intriguing fixture
    saints and west ham have been closely alligned for a long time having been promoted to the top flight together.
    ive always liked this fixture
    its really important for both teams to take all three points but they cant both win!
    can saints win 3 consequtive home fixtures?
    personally i doubt it for the simple reason 3 home wins on the trot doesnet sound very saintly
    a draw feels likely to me and 1-1 but its impossible to predict footy with these two teams playing
    that said with saints the outcome will depend on the final 5 minutes of the game.

    Despite the semi mess they are in they have plenty of good players. On paper they still look strong at least to me. We need to get stuck into them to ensure their confidence stays low and not let them dictate at all. I suppose you could say that for every home match though so i am not sure why i bothered to write it

    We need to be able to be better than at least 3 teams. Not sure we'll beat West Ham and not sure we'll lose, maybe we'll draw. My favourite colour is blue although I'm red and white through and through. I don't take any drugs, I think the Tories are thugs. Why did I give up smoking 6 weeks ago. Why did I buy a new keyboard where the question mark is top left of 4 symbols and i have no idea how to get to it. Question mark. Anyway I predict 1-1 and Ralph will give Boufal a run out.
