Match Day Thread West Bromwich Albion on 12/9/15 (15.00 )

Saints 2-0. Score first, make them play, score again on the break. Thank you Ron.

 

Is there a link to presser? Live link not working.

 

Just checked Whiteley's post on page 4 of this thread and it seems to be working.

 

The live links invariably work longafter the subject has been and gone. It's a good thing to remember that the link is put up a couple of hours ahead of broadcast time. If you move the pointer along the duration of the video you'll find the beginning of the conference.

Of course, as Fran says, Whiteley Saint's video is working, but it might help you next time.

 

Ryan and Jordy will miss this trip but Ryan has started some training sessions at least.

Rondon doubtful, Berahino in contention

 

Worried berahino will be fired up and playing for suitors in Jan.

 

Fired up doesn't always make for accuracy.

 

Not match fit so will be very rusty.

 

Bloody hope so!!

Can't bear it, so I'm sharing the pain with you.

 

Steve Davis talking about the need for a quick start. I've lost count of the time that Ron talks about us being better in the second half... starting well would be novel.

 

For chrissakes man, stop asking Stevo stupid questions with obvious answers..! He's a relatively intelligent footballer so questions like how important is it for Saints to get a win after the International break** doesn't exactly test his powers or make the interview interesting.

**It's bloody important, OK.? Isn't that obvious.?

 

Are there any new questions to ask footballers? A thankless task

 

I'd ask him "What is the biggest animal you think you could take on bare handed in a fight and win?"

not confident. Our league position is a bit of a smokescreen. We played 2 of the weak teams (norwich and watford). easily held by watford and norwich only had 10 men.

2 - 0 west brom and a bit of a reality check coming up

 

Nice big fat challenge on wantaway-Bereeenieohhhhhthundercats should quiet him down., get that done early to get the crowd on side.

 

Just once in a while I'd like something original and challenging. Besides, the Saints interviewer has never asked any decent questions ever.

It's the same old drivel. I know he's asking them in a manner so that the questions can't be returned with one word answers, as in how important is it ?, instead of is it important ?, but really. I'm sure a few of us could knock up a dozen non-personal, non-political, topical, football related questions that would include several that were livelier and original, and we wouldn't be paid for our expertise.

 

Perhaps they could allow one off field question in every interview. Can imagine players thinking here it comes. Onionman posted an example above.

 

I favour 'If you had to, which team mate would you marry?' And then watch them squirm. No need to ask Tadic
