The maestro expands his word count yet again in the next installment of his essential reading pre match previews, its not for bulbs ! 

Saints welcome the Canaries to St. Mary's, that may see an appearance from ex Saints favourite Andrew Surman. The gifted left sided player left Southampton at a time when we had to cash in on him. He will be sure to get a good reception, if he plays. Norwich are on a steady run of form that has seen excellent wins against Arsenal and Manchester United, as well as picking up vital away points, at places like spurs and Everton.

Saints have really started to play the attacking stylish Football that we've been used to of the last few years. Gaston Ramirez, and the excellent new found form of Jason Puncheon (as well as the consistent Lambert and Lallana), has been a major part of picking up 7 points out of a possible 9 . Yoshida and Fonte have formed a good partnership, and Clyne and shaw have played really well in recent games. Jack Cork's return from injury has also been a key factor. He gets stuck in, wins the 50/50 balls, rarely wastes a pass, and is a leader. The swagger of Saints returned against Newcastle, as we put the barcode bean stained northerners to the sword FFS. If we play like we have done in the last 2 games for the majority of the season, then Saints will easily finish above the drop zone, and be nearer mid table. We have seen improvements recently, and we have to keep looking to improve. Gazza in goal had a fantastic match on sunday, so he's another one that can look to be more consistent.

Before I get mugged off by a bulb about writing 3 paragraphs FFS, I have to mention Pat's Joiners. If you want to meet fellow message board lunatics, then get you backside to the Joiners for a pre match pint or plenty more FFS. Get tanked up, and be bang up for the match, and roar Saints on to 3 more vital points FFS
