Match Day Thread Southampton v Swansea - Saturday 12/08/2017 3pm

I am unable to give any indication on teams yet because I do now know the squads etc.

Am thinking 2-0 Saints though.

 

Not that I'm bothered, but did you make this thread because you knew some people would be a bit annoyed that it is too early?

 

I think it's a tiny bit early Jonny, sorry mate.

 

i like the big build ups

 

Great thread Jonny, you should do more of them.

 

No, he likes to wind up Chilco.

 

I was thinking an edgy 2-2 encounter, with a last minute equaliser from.... someone...

 

I'm a bit disappointed at the lack of news from your neighbour's parrot ...

 

Nout at present, sorry. All i have for certain is that everyones currently on holiday, including Puel, which we all probably new anyway.

 

With the best will in the world.......this is just a bit too early

 

Reopened and bumped.

 

June 14th

Wasn't that the day after the fixtures came out?

 

Expecting the same team that started this afternoon to begin this one

Forster, Cedric, Yoshida, Stephens, Bertrand, Romeu, Davis(c), Ward-Prowse, Tadic, Redmond, Gabbiadini
Subs: Taylor, Targett, Bednarek, Lemina, Austin, Boufal, Long

Actual decisions to be made for the bench too.

 

What's the situation with Alex McCarthy and Jeremy Pied, anyone know?

 

Agree we'll likely see the same team, maybe Boufal only one who might force his way in.

Like how you've snuck Lemina on the bench

 

Don't think we've had a post match interview from Pellegrino yet.
McCarthy was supposed to have been one of the victims of a virus caught in Austria, but has not featured since. So seems a little more serious.

I know I snuck in Lemina, but Pied, McQueen, Clasie, Hoijberg, Gallagher all not even in the squad.
If we do complete the Lemina signing then I wonder if Clasie maybe off

 

Not that bloody hamstring again

I think that might happen with Clasie too tbh.

 

Good to get a win today. Can say all you like about being only a friendly, but important to get the fans confidence up after the mauling on Wednesday. Be great (and unusual) to start with a win, but I'm going for the old favourite 3-1 (Jack the goal machine and 2 for Gabbi).

 

I heard a rumour (in my local Onestop ) that Yoshi was injured today. guess it's untrue or we'd be in meltdown.

 

I am looking for the proper matchday thread. Has anyone seen it?
