I just passed Alan Pardew walking down Wigmore Street near where I work. I did not say anything but I imagined what I would have said I would have said ... Me - Hi Alan AP - Hi Me - Alan...?! AP - Um... yes? Me - You dont have a job at the moment do you...? That is why you are walking down Wigmore Street? AP - Well yes, urm ... I am just heading to Sports Direct tho Me - I support Saints AP - Oh yeah Southampton... Me - Yes, you used to manage us. AP - Yes I did Me - You were a bit unlucky I thought and you signed Ricky Lambert and he was brilliant for us AP - Great player yes I remember well Me - Did you try and shag Fonte's missus - is that why you were sacked? AP - look, just **** off you middle aged **** I need to get to Sports Direct as I want to manage House of Fraser
My view is that out of all the games so far we should win this one otherwise we are relegation fodder...
First away day of the season for me and I cant bloody wait! Not hugely positive about this one, hopefully Hughes will find a system/team that works eventually though.
Can you explain why - Palace at their place is hard for most EPL teams. I think you may be knee jerking but love to know your views on why. Iirc- Palace lost the first SEVEN games last season WITHOUT scoring a GOAL. They did alright in the end. Incidentally, I think this fixture last season was our first victory. Steve Davies?
Happy Birthday No.7. We might get something from this fixture if our CB's try not to make Benteke look good!
If anyone is planning on using the train this weekend there is a reduced service on the line between Southampton and London due to strikes. You might want to check train times etc online.
Well happy birthday to anyone who has a birthday today. Or any other day of the year. Don't want anyone feeling left out.
