This will be my first game of the season, flying to London on Thursday to stay the night, train to Southampton on Friday for the weekend Can't wait!
Ha yes, let's hope so! Cheers I was going to come over for the United match in December too and it was possible to do it in a day by flying to Dublin on the way home and getting the bus up north but then it was moved to Monday night which completely scuppered that idea. Actually buzzing for the match this weekend, so many new players to see and the first match under the Koeman era that I'll be at. WE'RE NORTHAM OVER HERE
OK yes I know it’s a day early but I’m away with work for a couple of days plus I’m fed up with this flaming International break
We never ever beat Sunderland. Plus fletcher is back for them so they will be a lot more threatening. I'm saying 1-1
Hopefully Fletcher will be too tired to play on Saturday as he is working his backside off tonight for Scotland
Bringing a mate who is at uni in Southampton, to St. Mary's for this one. Please don't be like the last one... awful, awful 0-1 loss.
I just hope this game is better than the last two seasons as both have been absolutely dreadful games...third time lucky?
Yoshida is reportedly fit for selection for Saturday. I can't see him playing though unless Toby and Gardos aren't fit when they return from international duty.
As we now have Koeman who is a man with a plan I think we will finally beat them so I'm going for 2-0 Saints.
Sunderland player (Van Aanholt) who has worked with Koeman at PSV just been on Sky. Very little to do with Saints (except indirectly) but isn't it nice to have confirmation that proper football is back
My tickets still haven't arrived, and I ordered them on the 1st of October. I guess I'll have to visit the Ticket Office pre-game.
