Have a look at out next opponents tonight....

but, it probably won't be much of an insight as it sounds like Chris Hughton will be resting his most important players for the big game this weekend.

Still, be nice to see them huff n puff a bit before they come down to ours on Sunday. Shame it wasn't an away trip to Braga!

 

Will be interesting and, although I'd like them to win, I hope they're given the runaround tonight and perhaps a few minor injuries to say, 10 or 11 players.

 

Can see them getting a bit of a thrashing, but you never know!

 

i hope they lose.

 

Difficult to call. Lose and they might be up for bouncing back or they might be so depressed we thrash them. Win and they might be full of confidence. I will settle for them being pulled all over the park for 90 mins.

 

Braga are a decent side, yeah...it is a shame Brum arn't going to be given the run around in a quarry in Portugal though. Hope the lose, as otherwise they are in danger of picking up some form. Birmingham's young striker looks decent btw

 

Yep Braga are a decent side (we would know that you see as we've actually competed in Europe recently unlike yourselves), anyway I think brum will lose tonight and win 2-1 on Sunday.

 

They're decent as you lost heavily 4 seasons back - interesting logic applied, I'm going on more recent form...so how are Pompey doing?

 

We lost because our (then) manager had jumped ship 24hours before the game.
We're doing alright, bit of a slow start but that's nothing new, it's a long old season mate look where Derby finished last season lol (compared to how they started), Leicester and Cardiff had better teams than you did and didn't get promoted.

 

Leicester last season? Worse players and more importantly a worse team than Saints.

 

So what's your explanation for Brighton being top?

 

They've played at Fratton, its a guaranteed 3 points!
We've yet to collect.

 

Hmm, will Brighton and scum be top 2 come May??
Somehow i doubt it

 

You keep underestimating us, that's fine, it will make it even sweeter when we take you apart with our dazzling, samba football! Just remember, we have been watching the Saints ripping apart teams for a year (and giving Manure a fright too) and we have things that the likes of Leicester and Cardiff never had last season, team spirit, winning momentum and continuity, you can't buy those things.

 

Can anyone explain their secret? Must be down to Poyet, can't think of any other reason.

 

Chris Hughton on Sky giving us some respect, that's rare.

 

What's your point re: Derby? This time last season they were 22nd and they finished 19th?

 

Well thanks for that anyway, you've illustrated my point even better with Doncaster (maybe i was a bit premature with Derby)

 

On the other side of the coin, QPR and Norwich got off to good starts and ended up getting automatic promotion.

 

We competed in 2003 and we have competed in Europe more times than you.
