Only good thing is that Saints are really struggling to score but we're struggling to play well period. Really could go either way. If we can supply Kane enough I think we'll win but it might be hard if he has a quiet game.

I just hope that Lamela keeps his place and Mason remains on the bench. Mason had a great impact when he came off the bench against Newcastle, but I feel that's his best role in the squad. Stambouli or, I can't believe I'm saying this, Paulinho to start. In fairness to him, he did well against Newcastle and probably doesn't deserve to be dropped.

COYS!

Yes this is a must win game as we should be finishing well ahead of Southampton this season to help justify Levy's appointment of Poch.
We finished 13 points above them last season with us getting 69 points and them on 56. Since then they had the disruption of losing their manager, having to sell their star players and had everyone predicting them fighting relegation.
We, on the other hand, chose to get rid of the manager who achieved 69 points (not saying we should have kept him) in order to get a new improved one who would get the most out of our 'talented squad of players'.
Southampton have now achieved the same amount of points as last season with 5 games to spare. While we need to win 4 of our last 5 to get to our previous total.
I know its not just about points, but it seems clear which manager and team have noticeably improved from last season and shown that improvement on a consistent basis (rather than a couple of matches) and it's not Spurs.

Southampton are really struggling for goals.. cue Pelle to score? I still think that a draw will be the worst result we'll get.

Don't lie. It's what you live for.

I reckon you've got a few fake accounts set up just to add fuel to the fire.
No the fudge I don't, and I'll be doing something special to your mum if you keep repeating those lies.
Edit: Fudge, forgot to sign in with the "right" account.

Can't say that the lineup fills me with any confidence if it is the same as the one at Newcastle. Too much reliance on players who I have very little faith in.

It's one of the predictable trade marks, not to change a line up which scores more than 2 goals. There's nothing wrong with it, except for the predictability.
