Boufal may be fit for the Cup Final

I have just noticed that under every one of the posts on these boards there is a box with the word "tools" on it. It seems to have a drop down on it, so it's not just a description as I had assumed...

 

With the exception of the moderators, of course. Damn. Just as I thought I'd got off the list.

Meanwhile, wtf is this thread meant to be about? Oh yes, our Sofiane. I have a scenario. Sofiane plays at Wembley, but ten minutes in goes down under a heavy tackle. Saints re-form and a game of tactical chess follows, with Manolo scoring deep into extra time. It's called the Portugal model!

As you can tell, this break plays havoc with my sanity.

 

Don't mix your metaphors. The expression is Black Sheep. Don't confuse it with Blue Donkeys...

 

Or dead donkeys.

 

Or red dwarfs..........

 

The average Saints player you mean.

 

you got in one.......

 

I wouldn't start Boufal right now. Let him come on if needed, second half, to pose a more unorthodox problem.

Bring him on with a point to prove in a massive game and I think he'll turn on the style.

 

Does Boufal have a point to prove.? Just needs to get fit again.

I keep thinking about a fully-fit Boufal, Tadic and Redmond attacking midfield, with Gabbiadini up front, and it makes my mouth start watering.

 

If he feels he's been left on the bench because he needs to show something post injury to get back into the team, then I suspect he'll feel he does.

Just think it might be smart management for this type of game (from an observational point of view, without knowing the personalities involved, of course).

 

OK, I see.

 

I'm hoping everyone who gets on the pitch on Sunday week will feel they have a point to prove.

 

It's ironic. You American or summat?

 

Let every fan who has rested his or her voice (Chapel End, I'm talking here. Listen up.) decide they have a point to prove. Let's make sure we out sing them from about 4.00 on.

 

Fixed mate


I agree though I'm going to be singing top of my voice in the top tier... someone will join in eventually

 

If you count 'Will you ******* shut up' as joining in.

 

No, I'm a local lad. Why, don't you recognise a cheap joke at Pompey's expense?

 

I will join in with ya pal
