I feel a bit fragile tbh. Had a night out with my son and best mate and it went on way too long for a week night. Thanks for asking though mate, very decent of you
Got a soft spot for you guys since Di Canio took over (only cause i had money on you) and have kept up with you guys ever since (one of the better boards). However, hope you guys get battered with saitns keeping a clean sheet as i have Pelle and Clyne in my FF team
2 best defensive record in the league with 12 goals in total conceded and only 20 scored. Can't see a high scoring game somehow. WOuld be happy with a draw at your place
Saints have only conceded once at home this season so you've got a tough job up front! Personally I think saints will win 2-0. We've generally been very good at home so I think we'll have too much for you.
True and I know - I would definitely be happy with a draw. But we have played some tough games ourselves and don't normally concede (this season) and a footballing side plays a it into our hands. I predicted a 2-0 on sky super 6 to us (always ultra optimistic on there!) but would be very happy to take a point away from you. We've just hit the ground now and, unfortunately, that coincided with an international break and your little dip and a couple of average (poor) performances coincided so I think that would be better for you than us to be able to regroup. Quite looking forward to the game really as Poyet has us playing some nice stuff and, although I thought you were down with flames on before the season started, Koemann looks a very good manager andhas you playing some good stuff.
You are exactly the sort of team who could come to us and nick a 1-0 (if you win that will be the score IMO as I can't see you scoring 2) so we need to be on our game. Koeman looks like a great catch. I think the Dutch FA missed a trick there.
Going to be a very tough game to get any points on. Further improvements performance wise and I'll be happy, anything else is a bonus, what will piss me off is if we revert to a spineless shambles like we've been prone to for years. We've got to give them a game bare minimum.
Our current team is much better than when we drew there 1-1 last season imo. We're going into the game on the back of a win while they lost iirc. I think Poyet will 'sit this one out' and play a patient game with one up front.
I think we're much better then we were last time we played them. A win is not beyond the realms, they're Southampton not Chelsea, but they're decent outfit, we need to be well disciplined and and well organised but we've seen that all season. We could do them on the break tomorrow like. I'm looking forward to this one marra.
That maybe true, but we've got a very different starting line up and we play a different style now as well.
Everything's changed but I'd say we've improved much more than Southampton since that time. I think the point we gained was the only one we had for half the season Our away form, from the last 6 matches of last season and the current one gives me hope for a result.
Fair enough. I'm just hoping it's a better game than when you won 1-0 a couple of years ago. That game was ****e!
We have John o shea in form now though ! Apart from QPR away we have a very good away record in about the last 7 matches, but will be happy with a point.
Me and my big mouth Call it a premonition, call it a crazy vision Call it intuition, something learned from mother.
