Championship Match 15 – Southampton 3 Sheffield Wednesday 1
"Arma... We Won a Home Game!" One of the most important qualities you can have as you navigate your way through life in general or through life as a football fan is that of perspective. Perspective is something that gets completely lost these days, with social media being the way it is and patience at an all-time low. It can always be worse for other people or in this case, other clubs or fanbases.

Championship match 14 – Queens Park Rangers 1 Southampton 2
Behold the Messiah This evening‘s game against Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road has taken on new significance with Saints decision to part company with Will Still on Sunday evening. It’s funny really. He was always going to get sacked once “Sport Republic go out of our club”, rang round St Mary’s on Saturday, because Sport Republic were always going to do something as a result of being the brunt of all the criticism.

Championship Match 13 – Southampton 0 Preston North End 2
Three defenders and a keeper, one striker, goal Following the double shit shows on the road in Bristol and Blackburn, it’s time for a return to St Mary’s to play Preston North End. We played them last time in the Championship and they were absolute shite as we won easily by 3-0. Oh for that today. We were supposed to play them earlier on in the season of course, but the game was cancelled because of the fire in the warehouse behind the Chapel End.

Championship Match 12 – Blackburn 2 Southampton 1
Still and Trollope Cook Up Another Substitution Onwards we march to Ewood Park and Blackburn Rovers. Will the weather be shit and will the wind be blowing and will it be freezing cold? Yeah, all of that. Of more relevant concern is how Saints attempt to bounce back from the Bristol shit show from Tuesday night. A win today and that game will largely be consigned to the bin but another poor result, and by that I mean not winning, will bring that Bristol game into sharper focus.

Championship Match 11 – Bristol City 3 Southampton 1
Arma Shows How to Finish Bristol City at Ashton Gate on a Tuesday night is an unavoidable reminder of our last season in the Championship when we rocked up at Bristol City, were shite, and got beaten comfortably. Back then we were 25 games unbeaten, but at the end of the day, we all accepted that the run was going to come to an end at some point, and it happened to be at Ashton Gate.

Championship Match 10 – Southampton 0 Swansea 0
Head In Hands - You and Me Both Mate We return from another painfully long international break and we have an international match of sorts with Swansea visiting us from across the Severn Bridge. The last two times they visited St Mary, they went back home with their tails between their legs, having been beaten 5-0 in the Championship two years ago and 3-0 in the FA Cup last year.

Time for Saints to Stop Being Underwhelming
Wrexham - It All Seemed Like Plain Sailing Everyone has people in their circle of friends that support other clubs, and even though they might live in the city, they don’t know much about Saints and what’s been going on. This one particular friend of mine is a Liverpool fan, so after dissecting Liverpool's crisis of losing three games after spending £300 million in the summer, he asked me to sum up Saints' season so far.

Championship Match 9 – Derby County 1 Southampton 1
When I looked at the two games we had coming up this week, away trips to Sheffield United and Derby, I set a target four points and was of course expecting the Sheffield United game to be the more difficult one, despite The Blades being lower in the League table. The target has been revised though because having won at Bramall Lane, we don’t want to waste that by dropping points today.

Very poor result. Would’ve blown them away if Stewart had stayed on the pitch but the attacking intensity disappeared when he went off and the substitution to bring on Downs basically meant we played with 10. #saintsfc

Did Manning touch that ball that went out for a throw? I know the officials are all dodgy but I find it quite difficult to believe that the lino got that completely wrong as it’s a case of he touched it or he didn’t #saintsfc

Championship Match 8 – Sheffield United 1 Southampton 2
Who's Number 9 Baby!!! When Sheffield United lost the playoff final against Sunderland last season, a series of events were kickstarted that have led us to where we are today with Saints visiting Bramall Lane. Firstly, Sheffield United‘s new owners decided that 93 points and a narrow playoff final defeat was not enough and they wanted to bring in their own man as manager, so Chris Wilder was sacked.
