Fair point, our only chance of getting anything out the game would be a massive Davis performance.

Saints are 12/1 to win and 1,000/1 to win the cup on Skybet. Easy money.

I really hope we have a right winger ready to sign on loan, can't see it happening though. We are in trouble if we're to rely on Smith all season.

Source? No mention of it on the United injury round up on the os.

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4015982.Dyer_joins_Swansea_City_on_loan/ Why did we offer him a contract in the summer if we couldn't afford to pay him?

Can't see anyone buying Davis this month when his contract runs out in the summer.

I think i'd leave before a ball is kicked if we start with Pulis, Hatch, Mills, Forecast and Gasmi.

Probably for the best, Tevez would have something prove to the manager compared to Rooney.

----------Davis James Perry Lancashire Skacel BWP Gillett Schneiderlin Holmes --------McGoldrick ----------Saga If Schneiderlin isn't 100% then Gobern in for him. If Saga can't play bring in Paterson If Skacel can't play bring in Molyneux If Surman can play he replaces BWP If Lallana can play he replaces McGoldrick As for United I'd guess something like: -----------Kzusack Rafael -- Vidic Evans -- O'Shea Nani Fletcher Anderson Ronaldo ----------Giggs ----------Tevez

Probably sign a couple of youngsters who can't get into league 1/2 sides and maybe another youngster on loan. Can't see us spending any money on a couple of experienced players which is what we need more than anything. A decent strong centre back, Saga back into the first team squad and a ball winner in midfield and we would probably be fine this season, more teenages with no experience and we will continue with our drop towards div 3.

We've wasted a lot of money on total ****e which could have paid to keep a striker here or sign an experienced centre back. Or money spent to keep Pearson in charge.

score draw.

Odejayi of course, absolute legend of a striker.

Would really like to see what NP could do with the squad over the summer. I think we would be mid table ish by now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Gerrard We had one bid rejected in the summer, would make sense to go back for him. According to Wiki he even put in a transfer request. He's the sort of player we should be buying as well, will be hungry to make it at this level and has a bit of experience for Walsall.

We started last season with Chris Makin as a first choice centre back, it's not suprising people are worried.

Fa cup on the first Saturday is the priority. Last season we got battered 3-0 by Watford, i'm quite glad we're not playing today, although it is one of the most boring days of the year.

Can tell it's new years day.

And Olofinjana who scored the winner against Chelsea, he would be jealous of DMG's scoring rate!

I always watch the players clap at the end of games and it seemed pretty clear that Skacel knew he was off. I just hope this Molyneux settles quickly as Rudi had been playing quite well recently. As for Smith, I don't think you can go wrong with a 6 month contract, it's probably only about 50k and he will be working really hard to get a long term contract.

Barnsley where really **** when they beat Chelsea and Liverpool last season. Probably better than us atm but there's always a chance.

I just hope it's better than our last FA cup game. The journey home from Bristol was horrendous. That team above looks about right, I think Ronaldo will start he's desperate for a goal to kickstart his season. I'd love it if he had another shocker, ends up getting wound up and hits out at one of our players. I'm really starting to look forward to the game now which is odd for a st marys match.

You must have a short memory. He's been involved in loads of trouble outside of football, just a typical scouser.

Like **** is he England captain.

Same height as Lloyd James then.
