Article: Saints v Palace match thread: Southampton Fc, football

I'm sorry to read that Fran. Did you post something about this the other day, because I think I saw something in passing..? Is it mild or what..?

 

Mild, but present at rest. I blame saints personally

 

I'm afraid Saints are a chronic disease. Hope things stay mild for you.

 

I see Poch was in feisty mood this afternoon [recently up on Saints Player]. Loved his reaction to a journo talking about the possibility of Lambert being transferred in January. He screwed up his eyes even before the question was out in English, and when David Salas translated for him, he sat there for a few moments before letting out a small gasp. To which Salas translated into a big gasp and everybody laughed.

Good moment in a good pre-match conference.

 

David also translated one of MP's comments and then added that Mauricio was being more sarcastic than him. MP was certainly feisty today.

 

Yeah..! I'll go back later for a repeat. Today's was actually entertaining.

 

Although they were opened up quite regularly at home by Swansea, I thought Palace defended quite tidily in their last away game at Man Utd and should have taken the lead. I think this game will follow the pattern of our previous home games where we struggled to break down a packed defence.

 

Don't think Holloway plays like that. I give him respect for trying. He'll get his team to have a go.

 

You could well be right about that and hopefully we are able to take advantage. Three home bore-draws in a row (or worse ) would be poor return from games where we would've expected more.

 

3 clean sheets out of a possible 5. Two away, one at home.
2 draws at home.
A loss and two wins away.
2 goals scored away, 1 goal scored at home.
1 goals conceded at home, 1 goal conceded away.

We do seem to be better away. I'm going for a 1-1 draw with Osvaldo scoring for us. I predicted we'd lose 2-1 to Liverpool and I got it completely wrong, so...

 

So can anyone confirm if Puncheon is definitely not allowed to play?

 

He is definitely not allowed to play.

 

Isn't it a Premier League ruling now..?

 

I believe so. Mainly thanks to Pompey and Lomana Lualua.

 

Boruc appears to have wiped out Pochettino and Lovren in training...

Shaw and Guly seem to have found it amusing.

Makes sense....wouldn't want him to put in a couple of own goals. Or do we

 

Indeed.


SECTION 7.2 OF RULE M.6 - states that players who have been involved in a loan transfer may not face the parent club, who hold the player's permanent registration card.

 

Lawro and guest Charlotte Green both reckon 2-0! Uhoh...
