Problem is, last night city rested Sterling and KDB. The thought of what they'll do to Valery and PEH at full back actually makes me want to curl up into a ball and sob
If I were Pep I would rest those two anyway, they could play their U23's and beat us let alone their full side
I`ve never understood the saying, `It`s the hope that kills you` - quite the opposite, it`s the hope that keeps us alive. Hope like something magical will happen, when you least expect it. Like Saturday maybe.
Yes we are, but we're not alone. Can anyone tell me why anyone turns up to watch, say, Morecambe v Stevenage? Why put yourself through that torment? Simple answer. The poor deluded fans of these clubs have signed up for life, just like us. One of my uncles dragged me along to my first Saints match when I was but a wee lad. Bastard! Sorry, back on the thread ... we're going to get stuffed. I know that. You know that, all of you. But I'll still turn up to support them. And yes, hope will burn just slightly, until the referee blows the first whistle.
But if Valery completes an amazing run into their penalty area and Ings slips one in, we’ll we can dream!
I don't think the result last night was a surprise but interesting to listen to Merrington's lack of enthusiasm for Armstrong. I was surprised that Vokins did not get more of a run and maybe Slattery given a try,
Be better for our sanity if we expect nothing from games like this...and get a nice surprise if we manage something. We need points from those teams likely to be at the bottom of the league at the season's end.

People are saying he said " when we were 3-0 against City, we could have given up like we did Leicester".
What, like play our own reserves? I'll take that so long as we can be away. Of course there's a word for men who play with themselves, and a number of our players fit that description on occasions!
