Article: Southampton FC v Stoke City match thread, Football Southampton

I have a really good feeling about this, then again i had a good feeling about the WBA game for the first time in a while and look how that went!

 

Michael Owen has posted this on Twitter:

"Nice touch from the hotel staff. #appreciated"

But will they serve up a dodgy lasagne for lunch?

 

Come on Saints, really want us to win this one and finish as high as possible,not just for the money and the bragging rights but for prospective players over the summer who are going to be more interested hearing Saints finished 11th than 17th, even if the points difference isn't that big.

The last three matches between us have brought 16 goals, lets hope that the fans get their moneys worth and Saints go out with a (winning) bang

 

Hopefully Saints will just go for it with nothing to lose. I would rather we lose 4-3 than win 1-0 to be honest. I want a spectacular finale.

 

I just played against Stoke on FM and we lost 1-0. Sorry in advance guys.

 

If we score the first goal today, I can only see us winning.

I'm hoping that Owen can score in his final game, but I'm hoping that Rickie scores just that little bit more. I put a bet on at work before the season started with a Pompey-supporting manager that Rickie would get 15 PL goals. I thought I had it in the bag six games ago, when he got to 14.

 

I've gone 5-1 on the predictor... Well, why not?

 

I have to say I would like to see Owen get one last goal, as long as we still win. Maybe let him score first then we can romp to a 4-1 victory!

 

I'd be happier to let him score when we are 4-0 up

 

Let's see loads of gaols all in the Stoke net!

 

Screw Owen, I'd rather see a 4-0 thrash.

 

I like Owen but a nice win with a clean sheet would do me just fine.

How do I downvote a post so much that it causes physical pain? You beat me to it!

 

No boruc?

 

That Alex Crook has really started to get on my tits lately. Is it me or does he claim to have predicted absolutely everything? Today It's that Isgrove and Chambers would be on the bench, despite Pochettino saying youth players would get an opportunity on Thursday.

 

Good old Talksport. just reporting from St Marys that K Davis is making his first appearance since boxing day. Strange, I thought he came on as a sub against Chelsea.
