Southampton v Crystal Palace - Wednesday 30th Jan 7:45 pm

It is a big game as are all the games against teams in the bottom half, but we must be careful not to make it the game that the whole season turns on.

Of course if we win....

 

Massive for me. If we lose, we are right back in the **** with Fulham and Newcastle winning.

Time for us to finally win a game against a team near us in the table! Please Ralph, do the business!

 

Doh! Stick redmond alongside Ings and Armstrong as one of the 2 behind with jwp

 

I don't think we will win though.

 

Yeah I'm not confident, 1-1

 

Don’t over do the issue if we lose. It won’t be the end of the world. Won’t be nice, but Palace in their day are very good. Off their game, they’re ****.

I’m fairly relaxed about tonight.

 

I thought you’d missed a third CB. I’d play three tonight.

 

Yeah same. Until 7:46pm

 

smoke and mirrors some of these comments

 

With the +4 hour time difference, will try to be tucked up in bed even though the game will be shown here, expect however that l might have the phone beside the bed and be checking in...

 

Bad news. I'm suffering a horrible cough and Mrs Onionman has decided it would be madness to go to St Marys and stand on a freezing terrace for two hours (I know, why did I marry her?)

That means that, in my stead, young Onionman Jr will be taking his friend Ollie. This will be his sixth game attending in my place. Each of his five previous games ended in a loss for Saints.

Sorry, but we're doomed.

Well Vin, there's a few trends we need to break tonight, lets hope that's among them!

Mrs Onionman sounds very wise
but perhaps does not quite appreciate football as much as you ?

 

I'm +8 hours. So the game is at 3:45am for me. I always go to bed with an alarm to wake me up in time, but I can never sleep anyway. Couldn't even sleep for the Derby cup replay, so definitely no chance for this one. I will most likely give up trying to sleep around 1am, and play Xbox for a couple of hours.

It's doubly painful for me if we lose. Cos it's almost 6am and I've had no sleep.

 

Trying not to let the results from last night put the wind up me! Wish I felt more relaxed about it. There are still a lot of games obviously, but want us to keep the momentum. Think Palace will trouble us, and think we need to really be on it. At least we know the commitment and plan is always there with Ralph.

 

What a bloody awful atitude! Pull yourself together and find a positive bone in your body.

 

What? You’re saying Saints fans are trying to deceive / confuse other Saints fans?

 

and themselves yes. ha

 

I’ve had this stinking cough/cold/flu for well over a week now. Never drank so many Lemsips - think I’ve got lemons growing out my arse. Anyway, I’m going to drag myself up to SM’s in the bizarre hope of seeing another win. Draw I think tho.

 

I’ve had about 2 hours sleep, on antibiotics for my man flu and driven to Heathrow and back. Shouldn’t really go to the game - especially as my grandkids are here with the prodigal daughter.

However, after a day of the circus, I’m looking forward to it
