If results go our way on Saturday we could find ourselves second in the Premier league if we beat Fulham in the evening kick off, there should be a buzz going round about this game, but there isn't ! Yet !
If Saints beat Fulham they cant catch Arsenal, whatever the Gunners result against Palace at Selhurst Park, but they could leapfrog Liverpool into second if the Anfield team lose at home to West Brom, the chances of that happening aren't great, but even if the Reds get a win, Saints would still sit in the heady heights of third on Saturday night if they despatch the Cottagers.
Chelsea are hosting Man City on Sunday with Spurs playing Hull so our sojourn in the top three probably would only last a day, but we would still be guaranteed fifth place and that would be a hell of an achievement whatever way you look at it.
So why are there seats available for the visit of Fulham on Saturday, OK its a 5.15 kick off and a Sky game buts that's no excuse, in fact its a chance for a lot of the people who play on a Saturday to watch the team so in fact the potential for a big crowd increase not the other way round.
Put bluntly and I know I have said this many times before, how much more do some Saints supporters want from this side before they put their hands in their pockets, only 1 defeat in 8 games, conceding only 3 goals and 6th in the league, not to mention a draw at Old Trafford and this the chance to make it three in a row at home.
Saints supporters need to create the buzz, forward this on to their friends, encourage people to buy tickets and go I want to see us third and the more that are there to roar us on to do it the better, there has been much said this week about how Nicola Cortese has built this club in the past four years, now the supporters have to show that they want it just as badly, how must the Chairman fell when he thinks of the money he has invested in the team, how well its done, but then sees a few thousand empty seats, at this rate the average crowd is going to go down from last year and that's wrong.
Today on the message board I have had accusations of negativity thrown at me because I have suggested things about our performance at Manchester united etc, so now im going to be positive, lets fill St Mary's on Saturday, lets encourage all our Saints supporting mates who cant be bothered going at this point to think again and get along and support the team.
So if you are reading this through Facebook or Twitter, forward it on to every Saints fan you know, create your own posts on social network, lets all be pro active and help get those seats filled.
Let me say this again "Saints can go third in the league if they beat Fulham guaranteed" how much more encouragement do people need !
