Match Day Thread Saints v Aston Villa, Saturday 22nd Feb 2020 3pm

You are indeed right - a case of Country song from the 80s making it mainstream in the UK by a 'pop star'.

EDIT: Just googled - she got to No1 in the Billboard (US) pop charts in 1988 and Ronan did it here in 1999.

EDIT2: My googling was just cursory - Keith Whitley got to the top of the US charts in 1988, Alison Krauss in 1995 and Ronan Keating did it this side of the pond in 1999.

 

Willie Smallbone, he is quick
Makes Grealish look like a .... No, can't think of anything

 

Yan not in u23s tonight ....I take he will at least make the bench tomorrow.

 

Valerie to start and JWP in midfield ... PLEASE!

 

Hmmm, whose going to be the 3rd attacker on the bench tomorrow? Half expected it to be N'Lundulu but hes playing tonight.

 

Do think we might struggle a bit tomorrow, the points are much more vital for them than us right now and I think that might show. They'll really fancy themselves with our home record and injuries.

 

Or... in keeping spirit with the thread...




We'll ****ing smash them

 

Glad we're back on topic

 

If Villa lose tomorrow, they will be getting relegated. Of that, I am sure.

 

Is that classed as positive?

 

Previous post about road closure, M271 south deleted, owing to this update from Highways England

Progress report
Due to adverse weather conditions we will not be installing a new pedestrian footbridge over the M271 this weekend (Friday 21 February 2020 to Sunday 23 February) or the following weekend which was the planned contingency weekend. We apologise for the inconvenience and will provide an update in due course with the new date.

 

I'd be interested to know the weekends when there aren't road closures!

 

See edit above. Closure cancelled

 

See another positive

 

Definitely for you!

 

Does Grealish play wide left of centrally for them usually?


Would be tempted to stick Prowsey on him either way.

 

It was reported in the echo quoting ralph that Valery was finally back in training ahead of Liverpool and might be in contention. Also said he will be competing with KWP for the starting spot.

But since then he said Valery wasn't fit enough and has played him in the U23's etc with ralph generally more positive every week about his fitness.
This week we're up to 'Valery is Training well'

Does training well mean showing enough to start? Your guess is a good as mine.

 

Grealish plays wherever he sees a leg hanging out and then does an Olympic style free dive and then rolls 10 times until he gets awarded a freekick/penalty.

 

The lad takes a hammering. After a few fouls he starts going down easier to ask questions of the ref. Plenty worse than he.

 

All what you’ve said is correct.
Echo said “in contention” when in reality there was no FW. Didn’t play.
Then said “he wasn’t fit enough” - really! Didn’t play.
This week “training well” - KWP injured !? Hummm!? Hope so but not convinced but 2pm tomorrow will confirm.
