Will have to de-convert Matt Targett from his midfield role I guess? Maya played left back for Japan in their big 5 - 0 win against Syria! We would really be desperate to run to that option I am thinking?
Matt played in the last Saints U21 game a 5 - 0 win at Liverpool and the England U21's draw with Switzerland, no reason to suspect he isn't fit.
http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/sa...look_to_end_curse_of_the_weekend_off/?ref=rss Echo discussing our failure to win a single game after a weekend break in 18 months. I definitely think we are a team that gets on a roll and I wanted to play Leicester 2 days after the Liverpool game...but every record is there to be broken.
Looking forward to the match on Sunday! Got to be honest, I like Southampton, you have been an example for clubs like us to follow over the past few years and I've also only had good experiences with your fans who seem genuinely happy for what we are doing and are very respectful towards us. That said, I hope we batter you on Sunday
Pfft, I used to like Leicester, until they followed our example and bettered it Only joking, fair play you're having an amazing season, we'll make it tough for you on Sunday though no doubt. 1-0 either way is my prediction, if we do win then I apologise and we will make up for it by winning at White Hart Lane on the penultimate days After Sunday we'll all be rooting for you, do it for the little clubs!
Southern Daily Echo reporting that skipper Jose is considering a move back to Portugal, with 2 years left on his contract I'd find this a bit surprising if it happened. Non story?
I'm not sure, I think if someone came in with a decent offer then we'd be tempted, and he might fancy it if it's a Benfica or a Porto with CL football. I'd rather keep him for at least one more year though!
These interviews with leading questions happen all the time when players are let off the leash. They are never going to diss other clubs and they try to answer as diplomatically as possible. We've seen this with Pelle and Koeman.
Have we ever had a Sunday game after one of these dam international breaks? Maybe the extra day might work in our favour?
John, do you ever get problems with away fans, owing to where they are situated? If I have it right, the away section is on the opposite side of the stadium, from the main access route, which means all the away fans have to walk through/mingle with the home fans to get there, and then to get out after the game. For Saints fans, that haven't been there, the equivalent at SMS would be the corner of the Kingsland and Chapel stands, but with no road access other than from the Itchen side (Britannia Road). I know, in the past, that we Saints fans have been told that the best place for visiting fans, for security and control purposes, is where they are currently, but my thinking is that if this works at Leicester, why can't it be done at SMS?
who would have thought that this would be such a key fixture! Leicester fully deserve to win the league but this is a tough fixture against an in form saints. Should be a great game.
I think we'll be 0-2 down with 25 minutes left to play. Ron does a magnificent triple substitution, bringing on Mane, Austin and J-Rod. One for Mane, a brace for Charlie and the 4th in injury time from J-Rod. Saints to win 4-2.... marvellous!
Not quite. 3 quarters of the ground aren't accessible from any roads as the river goes round. Access is from one road which covers two corners of that makes sense? You then walk down either length of the stadium to get to the other end. Away fans are in one of the corners off the main road, the stand at the far end from the road is the kop
"It is not only between us and Leicester or us, Leicester and Arsenal," says Pochettino. "Manchester City, Manchester United, West Ham and Southampton still have the possibility, mathematically." I think he wants us to win this weekend.
Poch has had an immense season. I personally would be happy to see either spurs or leicester win the league
I personally would be happy to see spurs docked 50 points and relegated for some irregularity or other.
