Agree.

Interestingly, just to offer up the ridiculous, if we were to win here there is every chance Chelsea could lose to BHA next weekend and we would therefore be only 3 points behind them! Outrageous proposal I am aware.

With the above a possibility however would mean that we were on 36 points which I would consider as 'all but' in terms of safety with 7 games left to play. Hard to think our survival therefore hinges upon this one and I would take the draw happily. I am very unusually confident in getting something however off the back of Roy's arrival and the last two results.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Not outrageous at all. It's highly feasible. It might have seemed outrageous a few weeks ago before Chelsea went into freefall.

Did you have any driving lessons from him, he was giving lesson in your area, when football gave him up.

After the Leeds game (before which most so called 'pundits' predicted a comfortable home win) the manager wisely played down any euphoria noting we still need more points.

Southampton have some very good players who are underperforming yet held City for half the game so I don't think it will be an comfortable ride for us.

With no Zaha to kick around I expect them to treat Olise and Eze in a similar way.

However, if we don't concede free kicks for JWP to cut loose we should be able to get a point at the least.

I also very happy that Johnstone is proving a more than capable deputy/successor to Guaita. And, whether told to or not, he is eschewing the passing out of defence which this season has been obsessive and unproductive.

It's a MUST win for Southampton and no longer a must win for us. In these circumstances, their aggression and our timidity might get them a lucky win. However on balance a draw is the most likely result.

We will go unbeaten rest of the season except perhaps for Spurs.
