Match Day Thread Southampton v Crystal Palace: A New Hope 2/1/2018 7:45 pm

1-1.
Sorry folks.

 

I think our extra days rest will be the deciding factor in this match 3-1

 

It should do, but I also to that into consideration with my prediction.

 

We sure that we're the rebels? After all, the shot conversion rate of the Stormtroopers looks awfully familiar...

 

Well, we’re going to be going into the game in 15th.

Lose, and the best case scenario is 16th...

 

No, lose and the best case scenario is MP2 gets the chop.

 

Any news on incomings? Obviously you can't share anything about Theo seeing that Arsenal are your employers.....

 

actually we're going to win!

 

And who would replace him? Mark Hughes?

 

I refuse to say it again....

 

Eric Black's available?

 

Some bloke from MLS?

 

Try as I might I have lost confidence in our manager. Our best 11 is now shaping but I just know he will change it and that will really pissed me off.

 

So after tomorrow's matches we could be 17th if we lose and West Ham win, but as high as 12th if we win. Squeaky bum time. My guess is a draw so the death by a thousand cuts continues. Still staying positive I'm going for a 5-0 win.

 

I may watch the whole game with my eyes closed.

 

Ryan declared fit for tomorrow.

 

Get a goal. Immediately set about trying to get another goal. Palace is not the sort of team you want to sit on a one-goal lead against; they have been scoring in bunches under Hodgson, and we need to exploit the extra day of rest by ensuring that their legs are faltering as the game progresses.

 

At least we have scored the odd goal recently...even losing to Spurs we got two. Shame we have lost Austin.

 

I like the plan. There is, unfortunately, a flaw in it however...

 

Hope the ref has been watching Zaha's recent diving exploits with same contempt as the rest of the football community. We have a chance if so.
