Didn't see one and it is friday so thought I would put one up. This is going to be a bit minimalist. Villa are in a dire situation and we are certainly going to be hurting after wednesday. Team : Stek Cedric Jose VVD Bertrand Wanyama Clasie Mane Davis Tadic Pelle Simple - we have to win. A reaction is needed. 3-0 Saints.
Betfair gives us implied win percentage of 65% Most likely scores are 2- 0 and (slightly more likely) us to win scoring more than three goals. We should hammer them. Then again, the odds had us close to Liverpool. Vin
A potential banana skin game, should be, on paper, a win for us but we are all aware of the effect that complacency can have and Wednesdays game could be either a kick up the back side or the straw that broke the camels back. Gives it a bit more spice and intrigue. Time for some honest endeavour form our highly paid superstars to prove whether they are men or mice. Come on lads squeak up.
Nooooooooooooooooooooo! I just said I would do it and spend 20 minutes creating a beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nah in all seriousness though I'd go for the team in the OP, except maybe give JWP a go alongside Vic. Gonna be a tough game and will have to watch the counter attack. I'm gonna go for a nervy 1-0.

You'll have to do the next one then flt *By the next one I of course mean in about January after saintsfcfan has presided over a 6 game winning run*
Not into the first team but I'd love to have a player like Agbonlahor as a squad option. Maybe make a bid if they go down this year?
Should have included this at the very least (I was just about to add that to mine when I noticed you did this measly little effort )
Never tire of watching that, I remember waking my Son up by going mental when the 2nd and 3rd went in, then I managed to settle him again just before Long scored the 5th which led to me waking him up again I forgot how good the build was for the 3rd goal.
Apologies! I should have read the forum a little before doing it! If we win you can continue doing them if you want.
We need a confident win of which I am confident off........3-0 saints. P.s I am going and we always win when I am there,
No you're not getting out of it that easy, we need a little run so if we win you have no choice, you must keep going
Weather forecast for tomorrow isn't great, very strong winds, and I bet they water the pitch as usual!
