We will win, by great numbers and fantastic football. Could be 2 or 3 goal difference.

I wish I had your optimism. Looks to be a tough game, saints have a good recent form

The Oink Merchant was the manager for much of those five months and Newcastle came very early in Frank's tenure. Even though, I felt we started decently.

Being objective, I believe this will still be a difficult fixture, but I feel that the optimism isn't unjustified. A victory today could give us a nice buffer from the bottom.

There’s optimism then there are these posts:

Would take a point, three would be great.

It’d be nice to have a bit of a confidence buffer going into City and Spurs.

We are going to blow Southampton away

Is that you captain planet? Can ye take it easy me dog needs a walk.

What we need to happen:

We win
West ham win
Liverpool win

What we need to happen is for us to collect enough points by the end of the season. No need to depend on the results of others.
Come on Norwich!

Completely agree. But this Everton, and I don't trust them one single bit ?.

Also, Norwich never turn up against the rs. In fact, so bad are Norwich in this fixture, forfeiting and giving the rs a 3-0 win would be a huge improvement for them. Ffs

Trains are murder for anyone intending on getting the game today.

 

[blue to the bone]

Play like we did last week.
The same intensity and attitude.
If that's not enough then fair play to Southampton.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

This is going to be a tough game. I would be happy with a draw but over the moon with a win. COYB

I’m driving up to West Quay where my wife is shopping. I’ll leave the car for her to drive it home so I can have a pint or three.

Think we’re going to drive to west quay as well actually now.

All trains from London to Southampton are cancelled.

I’ll worry about getting home later. ?

 

[Jeff Jones]

Southampton might be in decent form, but they're not decent enough to stay in decent form.

Today might be the day it all comes to an end.

My best mate, fellow blue, is coming round tomorrow to watch the game “live”. Will be a 4pm ok for us, beers from 2pm. Media blackout before.

Quietly excited, at least a point, possibly 3.
