He's now qualified this by saying there has been a question mark over their fitness this week but he's hopeing that they will be back in full training on Saturday and therefore in contention for the game on Monday. Sounds most likely that they will be on the bench rather than in the starting 11 Also stated that it looks like Ings has now overcome his blister issue

@AdamBlackmore #saintsfc manager Mark Hughes hopeful of having Charlie Austin (hamstring) and Shane Long (foot) in full training over the weekend - ahead of Monday night’s game v #BHAFC

Hughes stated he's got a fully fit squad in this morning's pre-match press conference...

I'm not normally one to criticise the club, but that's a bit tinpot

Apologies if already posted... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/09/05/danny-ings-line-england-call-up-gareth-southgate-sticks-younger/ "Gareth Southgate is to closely monitor Danny Ings over the next few weeks with a view to calling up the striker for the next England squad."

You do realise that slipping in a non-fact amongst other facts is a well worn technique to get bites?

I enjoy your vlogs Owen. Keep up the good work [emoji106]

Have we always included 4 keepers in the 25 man squad? Seems a tad overkill to me, especially when it's the one position that you're allowed emergency transfers (IIRC?). A bit of a waste to sacrifice one of our better U23 strikers (Barnes) for a 4th keeper IMO

Fixed it for you

Hojbjerg MotM Up to 10th

Lol @ West Ham

We've only gone and won a game of f***ing football!!!!!

HOJBJERG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Benteke should have scored there! 6 minutes added time... WTF?

I didn't see it clearly, hence me askign a question rather than making a statement....

Great save McCarthy again and then Benteke misses a relative sitter

Palace should have had a penalty there?

Does seems odd having Romeu, Davis and JWP all on the bench and just one striker

Romeu on for Ings. Parking the bus for the last 15 minutes. Yikes...

The sort of shot that would have bamboozled Forster I'd venture.

Targett on for Moi. Eh?
