    Never done one of these before so thought id have a go :1980_boogie_down:

    My predicted XI (although for friendlies its a complete guess really)

    First half:
    Davis
    Clyne Stephens Hooiveld Fox
    Guly Schneiderlin Hammond Lallana
    Lambert
    Rod

    Second:
    Gazza
    Butterfield Fonte Seaborne Shaw
    Schneiderlin JWP
    Chambers Chaplow Puncheon
    Sharp

    Frankimus' prediction: 3-1 Saints (JWP, Guly x2)

    I wouldn't be surprised to see another one of the youngsters (Shaw, Chambers, Stephens) to get a full 90. Doubt JWP could manage it, as frankimus said. :)

    I reckon today it won't be a game of two halves, they've played enough football to increase there fitness to about 60 mins now. I could see strongest available team start today, but I'm not Adkins so we'll just have to wait and see.

    "Saints face Evian tonight. The Evian OS says to expect "hard fought duels and surely the famous British kick and rush". Oh boy. #saintsfc"

    A little bit better than that The club won the Championnat de France amateur in 2008, the Championnat National in the 2010, and are the current champions of Ligue 2.

    Evian finished 9th in Ligue 1 last year. Favourites to win according to the bookies. Should be a good game!

    What is wrong with playing Crewe? They're a great little club with a proud history.

    Sorry, what was the score against Gibralter yesterday. Your lot must have hammered them, pretty sure they played to 15 year olds.

    Ever heard of this crazy concept known as a 'joke'?

    Plus most of our squad probably wasn't much older than that to be fair.

    Crewe Alex have a lot more of an identity and an undiluted history than Evian, who have been through several mergers to be where they are now. Still, they're a good team and it will be a tough test.
