Who goes down?

West Ham will be okay.

 

Apparently after Demba Ba. This worries me, he is good.

 

Can't see Ba and Carroll working.

 

Don't think they have the spare wages without offloading someone!

 

Carroll will be sent to the glue factory.

 

They got relegated last time he played for them, so don't worry!

 

I bet Delia delivers the kindest, most sensitive sackings, though, with cake involved.

 

I can. There's not much playmaking ability between the two of them (not that West Ham play the ball anyway), but they've got Nolan as the transition between midfield and attack, both Ba and Carroll have aerial presence, and Ba is quick and can play wide. They seem to tick every box.

 

That will make for good MOTD Hansen analysis. That line they draw between strikers to show how close good) or far away (bad) they are playing from each other - a 700 or 800 mile long line from Ba in London to Carroll in Holland or Belgium or wherever he is.

 

Ba has excellent positional sense and he does an excellent job of latching on to knockdowns...now, whether West Ham (who, by their owners' telling, are up against the pseudo-cap) can afford his wages is another matter entirely.

 

Andy Carrolls recovery has been delayed due to stomach problems. "Poor Andy was in a terrible state when he was admitted to the equine medical unit" said local vet Budley Salterton MRCVS. "We suspected an acute bout of colic, caused by either too little hay or anti inflammatories given because of his injured hoof".

 

I thought he'd caught the sniffles

 

Massive game for Norwich and Chris Hughton at home to West Spam tomorrow. Lose and I reckon he'll be out!

 

I so hope Norwich win that one. But what neutral doesn't?

 

Please win Norwich.

 

Got draw written all over it.

 

Goalless probably

 

Fulham dire again today. Jol must be sweating!

 

In other news, how many times have we Saints fans been sweating on the imaginary "safe" target of 20 points by Christmas? Well, just look at the table:

Position Team Played Goal Difference Points
View full table
1 Arsenal 10 13 25
2 Liverpool 11 11 23
3 Southampton 11 10 22
4 Chelsea 11 8 21

 

Yep it's almost surreal. Keep pinching mtself to make sure I'm not dreaming!
