    Now - everything is in its right place ahead of the stupidly timed 12pm clash of the lightweights at the hallowed turf of St Mary's.

    Not sure of the match officials so will post when I get the info.

    Last 3 - all good wins:
    Bournemouth 1 - Saints 12
    Man C 2 - Saints 12
    Saints 4 - Everton 1

    My team:
    Big Fraser
    - never in doubt
    Cedric - he is just too good to be injured
    VVD - he is just too good to leave
    Hoedt - he is just too good as it was Steve Davis's fault he ****ed up the Cherries goal
    Bertrand - he is just too good linking back up with Tadic
    Romeu - he is just too good he left Barcelona and Chelsea to join us
    Lemina - he is just too good for us
    Boufal - he is just ****ing awesome and I think I am getting hard thinking about it
    Tadic - he is just too good to abandon on the right flank. Im sure he will be back there soon
    PEH - he is just too good to leave out just now and can let Super Mario get forward to score his first Saints treble
    Gabbiadini - he is just too good to sit on a damn bench and will score against Arsenal

    And to sign off as Theo is coming home...

    Yep, Charlie is unlikely to keep scoring every game, and I think Arsenal will have him on toast...

    Great thread Mr Tell :)

    Also you have one of my favourite Sinead O'Connor tracks in there :emoticon-0159-music

    I'm going for a 3-1 to Saints after going one down

    Thank you for responding to my prompt and your team is the team I would pick for this one.

    Two people already dropping Austin?

    Baffling.

    Will it be Austin Maestro, or Austin Princess?

    Not baffling TLL - we need different people for different types of games - I just think Manolo may suit this game more.

    It's not that Charlie can't come on and get the 5th...

    It's not that we couldn't play both either...

    One baby step at a time.

    Incidentally - who would you drop from midfield to accommodate both?

    Tadic.

    Back 3 with a front 3 of Gabbi, Austin and Boufal.

    Should be a good game this one, never mind what team will score the most goals the real question is what team will complete the most sideways passes.

    Ok, not a bad shout, but would that leave us slightly lightweight (particularly v Arsenal) in midfield?

    A midfield 3 of Romeu, Lemina and Davis/Pierre should be able to cope.

    Doesn't make too much difference to me anyway, I won't be watching it as I'm on nights.

    I just want the back 3 to get a good run out.

    Time for our "Battling the Big Boy" formation I think
    Forster
    Cedric (Pied)- VVD-Hoedt-Yoshie - Bertrand
    PEH-Romeu-Lemina
    Boufal
    Austin
