Dark Munster

Wow, that's a lot. In fact if a striker makes his debut for Saints and doesn't score he should hang his head in shame.

You mean like Arsenal at SMS a month ago?

Don't worry, he'll be crying all the way to the bank soon.

That's an impressive subs bench!

A couple of weeks ago we were looking at this match with trepidation. 3 successive impressive wins, plus an Austin, and things have turned around 180 degrees. I guess Austin probably will start, so who makes way? Defensively it's hard to see any changes from the team that started, and played brilliantly, against Man U. Although with 10 days rest Davis may be fit from his mysterious injury.

Well, that's understandable. Every penny counts for paupers.

Epic bump ... over 6 years.

Yes, but it does imply not B implies not A. In other words, this has 0-0 written all over it.

You mean like we were for 15 years or so?

So how's Austin's injury?

Tails should be up a bit now for this one, although Pulis' teams are never easy. I'd start with the same 11 that started today, who were all excellent. Please Ron, keep Big Vic on the bench (or in the stands).

Are we playing Barcelona tonight?

Is Gazza injured? Madness to have Kelvin ahead of him, if not.

We need a quality striker Les.

But still very reliable.

Much better, thank you. Let's hope it catches the attention of Les.

This. Although you should have put WE REALLY NEED A STRIKER in bold font.

Well at least we all agree that Villa are doomed.

And then fail spectacularly like Moyes did.

Pelle back, Fraser back, Bertrand back, J̶r̶o̶d̶ ̶b̶a̶c̶k̶, Vic pulls his head out of his arse and starts playing, quality new striker in. Problems solved.

Ok now we can focus 100% on the league. Confidence-wise this is almost a proverbial must-win game. Well, mustn't lose at least.

"If there is any player who thinks if his behaviour is not good that makes it easier for him, then I will put the player in the stands until the end of the contract because that's the not the way you do your job as a footballer." - Sir Ronnie. So let's hope Big Vic will be in the stands if he continues with his non-Arsenal performances.

Do we really want to sign someone whose first name is Jonjo?
