Citeh heading for their third successive away defeat. Got a feeling the dippers will be nothing special next season. Utds front three have 55 goals between them so will be title contenders...but then theres us with Werner, Ziyech...possibly Havertz....

More then the Liverpool lot..or today they did anyway. They'll definitely be up there next season.

Ohh we are 9 points from City..doesnt seem that bad a gap now. We'll ignore Liverpool cause thats ridiculous.

Also, City have just 1 defeat less than us.

I remember early on in the season they had around 10 games when the luck ran with them. It was ridiculous

Hopefully next season be less so. They have played good blah blah but last minute goals and all...why do that?!

That massive point lead is deceptive -around 20 points on luck, late goals, dodgy decisions.

What is intresting is Man Citys title defence..

The gap at the moment is 23 points..which could grow or be cut who knows..still big though. 

Yet City still are 2nd.  

Our bad title defence...31 point gap yet we ended up 10th place...we currently are 32 points off the top but 4th

How times have changed... maybe City will beat that point/gap wise.. know Leicester did but their title win was crazy..as was ending up 10th that year

Matic with 3 years extension Wow.

I like matic but he always has major drop off after half a season, not sure what happen once he got older 

not this year (COVID-19 break probably helped)

he has freed up Pogba and Bruno to a large degree

Ralph Hasenhüttl doesnt fuck about

he stripped Pierre-Emile Højbjerg of the captaincy after he said he wanted to leave

He has done well to turn the tide after their start to the season.

He is a very promising manager and I think with a few signings, Southampton can build on their turnaround this year. Who knows a good season next year and he could get a bigger job. Similarly to Poch or even Koeman in a way. He has a clear defined style and has shown he is interested in developing players as you can see with Che Adams (getting better after having a tough season), Danny Ings, Stuart Armstrong (didnt get going when he first arrived from Celtic although someone who has always been very talented since Ronny Deila signed him from Dundee Utd for Celtic), Jack Stephens, Jan Bednaker, James Ward-Prowse who have all improved under him. Plus his time at Leipzig, he had a big influence on the likes of Werner, Forsberg, Keita etc who all played with him.

I just want the dippers to be blocked from 100 points and a new win and points record and new wins in a season record

to get there it is us and Arse, we need to beat them and Arse needs to draw or beat them with us drawing or winning 2 draws leaves them on 100 even, so tied with Shitty, but does block the most wins in a season

that can then used to bash those cunts (as it would mean a really big collapse the last third or so of the season)

I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that COVID-19 (one of the ONLY good things that shit has done) has destroyed their celebrations

best year for them to win the league (if it had to happen)

this was the dippers last great  game

over FIVE months ago

e8b57301165d0ac85633a49d0c3cc419.png

they were shit or bleh  in 11 of the next 12 (Only played well v Palace 2 weeks ago)

that is a massive falloff from where they were sitting after that SOTON crushing

and 5 of the games were bad, 'dippers being outplayed badly' losses

Watford (that started the fall)

Atleti twice

Chels wooooooot

and the pasting by Shitty

Think Hasenhuttl can potentially manage one of the top 6 sides but you make him sound very young when he's already 52 years old. :lol:

He is always excellent early in the season. Even in his first half of season with United with Mou he was really2 good. We'll see i guess.
