Ah, the beauty of youth is that multi-tasking is still an option ...also helps that I control the work firewall and internet proxies.....
Written the preview for this weekend's Sunday Mirror ahead of this fixture. Lots of quotes from José Fonte on how important it is that the board keep Koeman at the club. Oh and he talks about the Spurs boss too.
So what's everyone's feeling then? Will the Spuds be up for this to prove a point after last week's disappointment, or will they already be on their hols as their season is now over ?
They lost it out there against Chelsea. They'll have a few suspensions and injuries. However, annoyingly, they still have 2nd to play for. Whether that will be any motivation for them now we'll see. I think It'll be a draw, but I hope everything will come together like it did vs Man City.
Allí suspended and almost certainly Dembele. Toby hasn't trained this week and although some report he will be fit for Sunday, I wonder if he will have euros in mind and go for the rest. Similarly with Danny Rose, it would be foolish to play on a dodgy hamstring when there is so little to play for. Overall, I don't think we will ever have a better chance of an away win.
Bad me - forgot Alli - thanks for the reminder. It's a shame because if things had gone as they should, Dyer and Lamelle should also be banned.
Who is the ref Saturday? I think over half the country would agree with you about Dier and Lamela including many refs. They won't get any favours Saturday. Part of me wonders whether our players will be told to give them a bit of needle but the other part of me hopes that Saintsfc is above that sort of thing
I best point out the game is on Sunday. It's probably what you meant, but would hate to have seen you made plans. Annoyingly Arsenal are playing City after us. If they fail to win then they can't catch Spuds, which still remains their key motivation
Miss this game & CP, as off to Sri Lanka Friday eve for 2x weeks I've already got the feelers out for PL TV as the hotel have already confirmed "zippo" Come on Saints, don't lose & win against Pardew & we get record points tally. Beat Spuds, hopefully both & I'll be on Cloud 9
