Manchester City v SOUTHAMPTON: Match Thread

[Schad]

That's the target!

Well hopefully not... I mean if Nigel's team talk was "let's try to keep it to 4-0" I'd be a bit worried, but that's not the point.

Would imagine that Nigel is annoyed because it's no longer assured that a six-goal win today will put us top.

Had that exact thought earlier. Was class at feeding off scraps in la liga last year

I suppose Di Santo and Moses are very good as well. Just looked it up, and Koné only signed about 5 days ago. Probably best that he's on the bench for this one.

Hopefully Wigan are slitting their wrists when they come down here next week.

Anyone got a link that would work on the iPhone to watch the game I have rehearsals for a show 2 until 10 so can watch it on tv

 

[SAINTDON13]

Rickie is captain today

devonsaint2 on the Echo site says no RL, no S Davis or Sharp in the start up, can't vouch for it's accuracy as he won't reveal source.

 

[Paint]

What? Lee starting?

Probably bull then.

Agreed, I'm inclined to believe Sky Sports news ahead of a random fan on the echo website

From a very reliable source. Ward Prowse is starting.

From a very reliable source. Ward Prowse is starting.

You have to actually state your source for it to be reliable. Otherwise it comes off as being very unreliable.

Hmmm, not sure. Well, find out soon enough.

Wait and see.

 

[Joe!]

Wait and see.

Is there a reason you can't reveal your source? Or are you just being purposefully pretentious and enigmatic?

 

[Dan]

From an even more reliable source. I'm starting.

 

[timatoketchup]

If we get a draw I will climax

 

[Saints_Alive]

I've got a £5 free bet on Skybet and was going to choose Rickie to score at anytime in the 90 mins @ 4/1....not so sure now if he isn't in the starting line up....may have a punt on Jos @ 12/1 if Rickie doesn't make it....any other suggestions?

 

[The Based God]

Davis

Clyne
Fonte
Hooiveld
Fox

Davis
Schneiderlin
Lallana

Rodriguez
Lambert
Puncheon

That will be the starting 11

Heh, would be a pretty memorable way one's league debut if true. Nothing too challenging, just go out there and try to boss the midfield against the defending champions, in their building, in the club's first game back in the Prem for many years. At 17.

 

[- Doing The Lambert Walk]

Well I'd heard Lambert is on the bench and Jay is starting through the middle.

No clue if Punch moves left and Guly right, or Adam left with JWP, MS and SD in the middle.

We shall see.
