The Saint

I'm a glass half full guy, always thinking about when we win our next game. Where we could have been... Of course I want us to beat WBA. But you know what's really important today...? Not losing...

My selection based on absolutely nothing. Similar to MP's tried and trusted system of how to pick a team.... Austin Long Stephens Hoedt Tadic Boufal Gabbi Sims Redmond Carrillo Obafemi And we still wouldn't score if they changed the venue to The Red Light "All You Can Eat Buffet" Saloon...... I know Austin is injured but you don't have to move around too much in goal. We learnt that from Forster Yes that's right. I'd even drop McCarthy. He hasn't scored in ages...

Hilarious ... That's all...!!

As the title says..... http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-surrey-42392660

Think his reasoning is sound and flawed in equal measures. He would have been roasted in the unbiased press that we have in the UK by sending players off, just imagine the endless analysis on TV of every element of every red card. Everyone saw what went on and can make up their own mind. Fair to teams who would have faced weakened sides as a result of any red cards...? Absolutely not. Think his only mistake was revealing his game plan now...

Seem to remember us playing 11 defenders quite a few years ago... Was it Bally as manager..?

In all honesty, anything better than a 3-0 defeat would be a great result. But my heart says we'll nick a 1-0 with a Boufal worldy.....

Could Klopp be sniffing around St Mary's if Coutinho leaves...? http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/42045960

If he starts, the pressure's all on Boufal. With his dramatics in front of MP last week after scoring THAT goal, he'll have to deliver the goods today or spend the next few months as an impact sub. Quite rightly, he wants to play every game so now he has the chance to show us and MP that he can do it. The guy has undoubted skill but as with a lot of players with that style, it's difficult to produce week in, week out. I'd really like to see Stephens come in for Lemina. I think he's even more suited to that role than CB. Comfortable on the ball and he'd give us another midfield option.

OK, a bit of Fantasy Football.... If we had beaten Watford, we'd be a point clear at the top of the PL... Just sayin'....

I hope this works for MP's sake. I really do..

http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41079838 The kind of story that can affect anyone, not just footballers. I'm certainly not trying to deflect anything onto anyone, but you never know what's going on behind the scenes in their lives. If someone has issues off the field, it may make them seem uninterested when playing. Something to think about before any criticism is levelled at any player..

After today's result, Arsene might come knocking.....!

OK, so logged into the official site, can't find live commentary. Is it there, or have they stopped that facility..? Edit.... Found it.... DOH

Dave Merrington on the JWP substitution... "Bad decision, I wear my sleeve on my heart... Today we were so good, we were absolutely brilliant....." Gotta love him...!!

Anyone who finds something to moan about after that performance should go support another team as far as I'm concerned. Heads held high, it's football.... Well done...!!

Think that all sums it nicely...

Can't wait for Dave Merrington's version....

I too was at the Arsenal... Never been so cold in my life. Don't remember too much about it to be honest, but I do recall being hit by 'snowballs' from the home end. They had snow on the outside, lumps of concrete on the inside...!!

JWP is Sky's MoM...

yeeesssss

Well said that man... Just wish I understood it...!

Hi. Any Modbro feed please, can't find our game...!! EDIT OK, found one

Great to see so many youngsters signing new/improved deals. (There will alway be some to put a negative slant on things...)
