    I wonder if the team has been practising penalty taking?

    He'll pick the team he wants. That's what being a manager is about, and that's why they say it's lonely at the top. Win, lose or draw, I'll respect him for that.

    You say want as if it's something I'm demanding.

    I'm almost certain we won't see the team I 'want'. Expecting a few changes for sure.

    I will be having a moan if it's more than needed though and we see a team similar to Sunderland <ok>

    Out of interest which do you see as the most important games in next couple of weeks?

    Yeah of course mate, that's what managers are paid for. Heroes if they win, slated if they lose. Will always be that way <ok>

    In a strange turn of events we will win 3-1. In the first 10 mins Arsenal will be banging on the door and eventually turn in the first goal, with us bemoaning cuco for letting ox in without so much as a half arsed challenge. With all hell breaking lose on the forum regarding team selection, Long will equalise before half time, after Cuco plays a superb through ball that justifies his name on the team sheet.
    After half time a Boufal rocket will smash the post only for Long to bundle in his second.
    With Arsenal determined, they will throw everything at the defence, making Fran spill her hot chocolate and many other fans dive underneath their blankets. With Perez forcing Forster in to a phenomenal save to force a last minute corner, Puel will decide for once that leaving a striker up the pitch would be beneficial. The corner is cleared and Jay, having had another stinker of a game will race through, Fernando Torres vs Barca style and round the keeper before scuffing his shot which rolls agonisingly close to the line before Cuco Martina, having sprinted the length of the pitch taps it in, sending the away fans into delirium and leaving Saintsfcfan with another match thread to make.
