So we have caught the incatchable and the fab 4 are down to the thrilling 3, feel it's too much and too late for Southampton to be involved. DF just has to be lauded for what he has achieved in 38 games. To be a successful manager you need to be proficient in so many aspects it would give a plate spinner vertigo and his man management is second to none, the guy is a legend already and I have no doubt given the resources and support he needs we will be competitive in the prem. I predict a riot in May, just in time for me 59th birfday ?.

If Southampton win their 2 games in hand they are just 3 points behind Leeds.
18 Mar 2024 12:54:40
Hmmmm, an if my auntie had bollox she would be me uncle. Points in the bag please every time, especially now the pressure is really on ?.
18 Mar 2024 12:54:46
I reckon Vid has had a bet?.
18 Mar 2024 13:10:21
Agree points in bag is a better position of course.
We shall find out soon enough though Vid if you were far too presumptuous in your dismissal of Saints.
18 Mar 2024 15:05:43
Hopefully we can carry on our good form into the next three games as think they will be tough games. Luckily the other teams in the top 4 have some tough games left to play (as well as against each other and teams in the top 7) . A few have to play Boro as well so hopefully Bill can help us out ?.
18 Mar 2024 15:20:08
And that perhaps you were far too presumptuous that we would never make automatic promotion let alone win this league.
But hey what do I know, maybe we completely bail out in these last eight games for the autos and collapse in the playoffs to end up with nothing.?
18 Mar 2024 15:25:57
Hopefully not OP . but it wouldn't be the first time of happening as you well know.
18 Mar 2024 15:32:19
It’s also worth noting that Southampton have to play us Leicester and Ipswich all away and you’d have to presume that they would have to win all these six pointer games. Likely? well if they do they definitely deserve to be promoted in my opinion.
18 Mar 2024 15:32:34
Well Baz, seeing as Saints still have to play Leicester and Ipswich if you are right they will aid us and still at best be 3 points behind then have to beat us by a mammoth score at ER ?.
18 Mar 2024 15:39:04
Easter can be make or break as we well know. Two victories would be most welcome. Anyway, let's enjoy the calm before the storm!
18 Mar 2024 16:00:00
Fair comments Vid and OP on Saints having 3 extremely difficult away fixtures at Leeds, Ipswich and Leicester.
18 Mar 2024 17:34:24
Wouldn't rule anyone out at this stage as the champo is terribly unpredictable, but for all intents and purposes, they have some catching up to do. Is it doable? In my opinion, unlikely, but you never know. Just make sure we keep winning and it won't be an issue.
18 Mar 2024 17:50:00
True Dill, but the big thing is time and games are running out, draws are now killers, only victories will do, plus you need favours from other teams, really quick batch of games over/ just after Easter and if the gap has not closed significantly it's so difficult with a handful of games left.
18 Mar 2024 19:01:40
Those games in hand are squeezed into a very hectic run in, which we, as yet, do not have to face.
