InvictaSaint

Excellent....

Davis so close! What a save!

Gazza with 3 good saves....

Stek has a toe injury.

Free kick Palace....just wide.

Yes - I really should know better shouldn't I?!![emoji15][emoji23]

How about we all calm down, and see how it goes before admitting defeat? Is that so unreasonable? Yes, weird lineup - partly enforced, partly through choice - but here's a thought: maybe the manager who got our highest ever finish last season knows what he is doing? If he's wrong, we'll give him what for at the final whistle; but let's stop the white flag waving before a ball's been kicked, eh?

Twins

Don't be a tool. We clearly do have a good team but we are equally clearly not performing today against a team packed full of expensive internationals.

I don't mind losing but FFS Saints - at least fecking turn up!!

2-0

Good start....rolley eye thingy

Why? Because *you* say so?! We are all entitled to an opinion. You have yours, I have mine. And I have no intention of acceding to an ultimatum from you or anybody else just because you think you know what will happen in 6 months time. I'll keep enjoying the season and you can wallow in the misery of apparently knowing we are going to do worse at the end of this season than last season. Have fun.

Look at me, look at me, look at me!!!

Should have had a pen there - stonewall.

Can't imagine Ron will be very happy. Here's hoping his displeasure at half time has an effect on the players. Mané on please.

Good save Stek.

Arse

Cedric and Long in for Yoshida and Mané who are both on bench.

Was Fonte hobbling there a bit as he walked off? Looked like he was feeling his right hamstring....

Clean sweep for an away win on the Sky Sports Soccer Saturday panel. More confidence on there than on here.....[emoji15]

Who have we drawn???!!!!!

How quiet are the bestest fans in the world? 15 minutes in and they've given up! Still, means we can hear our lot giving stick to Nivea Boy....[emoji3][emoji3]

Anyone any the wiser about "things happening in the USA in Jan and Feb" that will benefit us? Sounded intriguing.....

Jamie Redknapp being sensible at least - we should have had 2 pens. Poyet giving us a lot of credit too.
