    The thing is, we would normally have the match thread for a Sunday game up by now, or tomorrow at the latest. Unless saintsfcfan has one up his sleeve, does anyone fancy knocking one together?

    Sounds like there could well be a few changes.

    Eddie Jones leading team shooting drills rather than Steven Davis this week then.

    Easily his best presser so far, in terms of keeping the interest. His English is obviously improving!

    I hope it's not too many. Playing a weakened side wouldn't be a great way to keep fans on side.

    I wont be impressed after only a twenty mile round trip, especially after buying a ticket bundle. If it is a weakened team, they better make sure they win.

    RST, there is almost certainly a very sensible reason why the time of low tide on the Island matters in your circumstances, but from my naiive perspective low tide on IW (certainly in East Cowes) used to mean that the seaweed smelt worse than usual, and you didn't have a steep upward slope on the passenger ramp onto the Red Funnel ferry. But then, I'm quite old, really. :smiley:

    Anyway, I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments - let the good times roll, and our season starts here, then improves on Sunday vs Swansea

    Agreed. I listened right through to the end. I think he was more relaxed and showed he has a sense of humour. He is growing on me.

    Ooh, it's my first ever ITK moment. I was chatting to a bloke who is mates with Jack Stephens, who thinks he might be involved in the squad. (Stephens, not the bloke at work, that would probably be a bit too far).

    That would obviously be pretty surprising and seems a bit unlikely. But if it turns out to be true, then I'd regret not posting it. So there.

    I'll assume on the bench? Be amazed if he starts, but would be good to see him get a few minutes when we are 5-0 up :)

    I will do one when home from the game, if we win of course.

    Not exactly difficult to improve. From the one's I've watched it seems like he has the personality of a snail.

    Not to worry, if he met you, he would probably be judgemental about your personality, and would no doubt consult you on your expertise on Referees.
