VectisSaint

Yep, thats why I mentioned him in the Notinghamtpn thread: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?54827-Nottinghampton#.VcXTsflVhBc Can't really believe we are interested in him, though he is surprisingly younger than I thought (25)

Dale Stephens was playing for Brighton as well. Could be s lot of ex Saints when Liverhampton play Arsenal this srason, potentially 6.

Looking forward to 2023. Beaten Spuds more than any other team (sadly also lost to them more than any other) 184 days supporting Saints LOL

Chocks away Ginger, get the old girl up in the air. Its actually a Dash-8, no need to worry.

"With just four minutes played, James Ward-Prowse failed to control a deflected cross and the ball fell to Pelle, who took one touch to change direction and set himself before firing home on his left foot." [bBC] Watching it he made a complete dogs breakfast of controlling the ball. I don't want to make anything of this, but this is why "assists" are so over-rated. I would guess Prowsey will get an assist, but it was a complete **** up that fell nicely for Pelle to score. But well done to everyone, stroll in the park, never stretched, never really threatened, 5 goal cushion. Bring on the next "opposition".

Now its confirmed, Minsk won.

Not yet we're not. But looks good. Minsk need to hold on, and Vojvodina looks nailed on but still 35 minutes left. We should be 21st.

Maybe we are going 3-5-2, Martina can play as defensive midfield. Its certainly the way the team is listed.

Kept Fox out of the team at Forest though. Played 20 times during our Championship season (Fox played 41). Was miles better as a defender than Danny Fox would ever be. Its not re-writing history.

Technically they only need 3 unless we score. Extra time and pens would follow.

Good man. If only a few more players looked to play for enjoyment rather than just chasing the money and also respect for turning down the Skates.

The Aeneid is epic.

Even if its not, he only has 2 to select from. Does seem very injury prone, but don't agree that Wilshere is overrated.

I reckon we can find another Koeman somewhere if needed

I'm sure he would not have travelled if he was not expected to be available to play some part. It looks like we only took 16 outfield players from the video (2 groups of 5 and one group of 6), and assume there are 2 keepers, so 18. That's the match day squad. To me, whether or not JRod starts tomorrow, its more important that he could play a part on Sunday. In which case I doubt he will start tomorrow, but may get used as a late sub, and then he will definitely be available for Sunday, at least on the bench.

What I meant was that it doesn't make any difference if we are the best unseeded or the second best unseeded or the 22nd best unseeded. We will still be unseeded. Of course it makes a difference if we are seeded or unseeded, otherwise there is no point in this whole discussion :-)

No, he has travelled to Arnhem, he wouldn't have travelled if he was not in with a shout of playing (Long and Clasie did not travel). Doubt he will start, and he will not start Sunday either, but reckon he might be on the bench. I think all that Ronald meant was that he will not be ready to start/play 90 against Newcastle.

We need 4 upsets to be sure. Can't see it myself, reckon we will end up as the best of the unseeded, not that it makes any difference. We'll see.

According to my app. But bbc has only 1 red. Now 2-2

Steaua are down to 9 men with 35 minutes left

1 down, 5 to go

In terms of seedings and how it affects us, there are 4 games tonight that can impact our seeding. If the 4 higher-seeded teams all win we will then be 24th highest ranked going into the Europa games tomorrow (assuming West Ham are above us on technicality). We will then need to games to go "against form" in the Europa to get us into the magic 22nd position. Tonights important games Qarabag v Celtic - need Celtic to win (1st leg 0-1) BATE v Videoton - need BATE to win (1st leg 1-1) Partizan v Steaua - need Steaua to win (1st leg 1-1) Malmo v Salzburg - need Salzburg to win (1st leg 0-2) Only feel confident about 2 of the Europa League "swing" games tomorrow (Vojvodina & Minsk), so really need all 4 CL games to go our way tonight.

So thats Ajax in the PO, Groningen in the Groups and PSV in the round of 32. Excellent, sorted :-) Perhaps then we can step up to the Germans and then the Spanish in the SF and F.

It almost has an inevitably about it, collecting Dutch teams in our early season games. Could we even get PSV once they come 3rd in the CL Group stages?
