Yeah it's what I was told 2 to 3 days, don't want to miss the game as with Newcastle being Europe a few days before I can see us winning.

Just to be sure, can you wear a luminous shirt with CONTAGIOUS on it so I won't go anywhere near you! <laugh>
 
I definitely wouldn't drop Rodriguez. He's in great form and always looks dangerous, he is getting better by the game. Fox played well against City but I would go with the same team minus him- Shaw in at LB obviously. It's going to be a headache for Pochettino to put Lallana into the starting XI because it means we'll have to drop someone from the team that beat City. Hard to find a weak link in that performance, same as Forren for Hooiveld. My only worry is that the break that weekend past will have killed some of the momentum from the win against City. Better to put Lallana in now I suppose instead of plucking somebody out between matches close together.

I suppose there's an argument for dropping Davis for Lallana. Can either play Lallana "in the hole" or Lambert, with Rodriguez up top. Really depends on how adventurous Pochettino wants to be away from home on this occasion I suppose.
 
It may have been mentioned elsewhere (I'm too lazy to check) but the Saints allocation for this one is SOLD OUT! I've got my tickets, so let's create a brilliant atmosphere and cheer our lads on to a 2-0 win!!!!

That's fantastic. Reading only took 1000 or so. Someone should phone 606 on Sunday and mention this. I won't be able to as I'll be on the train and will have no signal as usual!
 
Some talk that Pardew may rest some good players for the Europa game...as the PL is more important when you are at the bottom. Let's hope he gets caught between two stools and gets it wrong. Yet another of those 'must win' games...an awful lot of them this season. Not the be all and end all of the season, but would be good to get a bit of sky between us and the rest. Going for our favourite score of last couple of seasons...3.1.
