Was reminded yesterday by a long time Saints fan of this little nugget versus Aston Villa. Always worth another watch. I remember the guy behind us went out for a pee and missed it all :emoticon-0102-bigsm

I remember that day. It was on my birthday so thanks Sadio for that excellent birthday present. :)

I'd like it if I could see Sadio's hat trick. This one works in the Netherlands, it's got all the goals.
Edit, it opened in youtube but not here. Never mind.

Especially looking forward to this game. I hope Salisu is fit to neutralise what little threat Ings offers these days. Otherwise, I think Stephens will do a decent job. I would not risk KWP or Ely if they are carrying niggles (same for Salisu to be fair) so my selection would probably be...

Forster
Tino, Bedders, Salisu, Perraud
Romeu JWP,
S Armstrong, Redmond,
Che, Broja

Subs: Willy, Valery, Small, Stephens, Diallo, Smallbone, Djenepo, A Armstrong, Walcott
 
Lawro says AV 2 - 1. His oppo says 1 - 1.

Phew! Normality is resumed - Even Lawro couldn't predict Norwich getting anything from us, but he's reverted to type, predicted Saints to lose and the universe's equilibrium has been restored.

I'm going to this, so I'll probably drink lots of beer and be the one who has gone for a pee when we improve on Sadio's hat trick record time. :1980_boogie_down::1980_boogie_down:
 
For as long as they keep under estimating us, I am happy.. shows they don't really pay much attention to the reasons why we've become a good team..

Lawro's reasoning stretches as far as we've got players who are clearly too good for us, so they need to be playing for a big(ger) team.
Or maybe that's Garth Crooks' logic. I keep getting over-paid, ignorant, pundits mixed up.

It is weird that because at the start of the season these players were deemed not good enough for the premier league as we were tipped by many to get relegated, or at least be in the fight.

When is our pre match press conference? Or was it yesterday?

Maybe Ralph has now reached the level where he doesn't need to explain himself (to the press) anymore. Or, he's not giving away any more secrets.

Or it hasn't happened, yet, but it is a bit late. Ralph will probably give an interview through the window of his car, in the style of 'Arry
 
Ah so it will remain unclear until tomorrow the status of all the injuries mentioned - Salisu , KWP, Long and Elyounoussi

I assume it is Tella, McCarthy and Lyanco that are completely ruled out ?

Yes, they will probably have a better idea today though.
