Match Day Thread Mighty Saints v Spurs - Sunday 20th Sept 12pm BT Sport

Think they will still let fans back in October but it might be a smaller percentage than planned. There's test events across the EFL this weekend isn't there?

 

There is indeed, in some areas not in a local lockdown. Capped at 1,000

 

That ticketing site is a pile of ****.

Went to add my ticket, confirming I wish to attend, to get an error message that it'd already been assigned. Great.

 

Yes I had that but tried again and it was fine.

 

I tried 3 times, gave up then had to wait 30 minutes. I'll try again later

 

Just said on the news that Bale could be available to play this weekend.
Does he not need to isolate?
Failing that, it’s the last day of the US Open. Surely he will be glued to the screen watching that.

 

Bearing in mind he hasn’t really played football for two years now, it was reported this morning that he will need a minimum of four weeks intensive training to get near match fitness

 

He didn't sign the deal in time to play us, at least that was my understanding. No isolation required though, elite club athlete and all that malarky

 

It is highly unlikely that saints will win this so I'm going for a 2-1 victory because that's what saints do.

 

It would be just like Saints to win this out of nowhere, but unfortunately i think it will be a third loss, Mourinho just plays to all of the weaknesses we have shown so far, they will let us run at them and pick us off.

After that hopefully onwards and upwards though.

 

My 90 year old dad has emphatically said “Yes”. Remains to be seen if the club has anything to say about it.


My dad’s a ****ing hero

 

When’s the deadline for the games?
I thought it was Friday deadline ...

Aah, I’ve been on holiday for a while and just realised it’s Saturday today

That’s a bloody relief I’ve been dreaming about that one he scored against us in the 89th minute to beat us 1-0 at WHL

He’d only just come on and was on the right and I’m thinking (shouting?) “don’t let him come inside, don’t let him come inside!”

 

Sounds like he's at the same stage as most of our squad is, judging by Ralph's comments!!

 

I agree with you but with the top clubs spending money they don't have and not likely to get, I'm afraid that it may already be too late for many lower league teams. Many were financially up against a wall before Covid-19 came anyway. I simply cannot see crowds being allowed back anytime soon the way things are going. I'm hoping I'm totally wrong though!

 

They say that every picture tells a story, not one Saints defender is jumping after a corner kick, they are statically ball watching...I hate zonal marking.

Come on you Spurs.

 

Relieved we don't have to face Bale tomorrow.

 

I received this email from IPTV, about an hour ago.
They appear to be having a major problem, which they will hopefully resolve overnight. Otherwise all round to No7’s for the match tomorrow.

“We are aware of an issue and working on the fix, please navigate to channel "UK: Sky Sports Main Event HD" and that should be playing”
