Pamplemousse

We've had 51% possession apparently! That can't be right

We defended that free kick fairly well. But **** me we've been dreadful. Pellegrino got the team selection completely wrong.

Obligatory Romeu yellow card

Good play by Stephens there. Not so good by Cedric.

At least Forster is finally saving shots

I hope so, it's about time he puts in a good performance

Going down going down going down

And Forster won't dive for it

I know we won last Saturday... but defensively it wasn't a good display. They're going to destroy us in the air. I hope Tadic proves me wrong but he shouldn't be starting.

I just posted in the other thread - the Premier League have confirmed that we're wearing the normal away kit.

Confirmed that Saints will be in the away kit

Because Tadic isn't very good, and Hoedt needs to start against their big strikers.

Potential laughs tomorrow, they face the former hero but now a villain Paul Cook. Apparently, they're planning on bringing inflatable snakes with Cook's face on I wonder if they'll manage to take more fans to Wigan than they did in that infamous photo. The skates get a bit touchy about that particular image.

Troll

Boufal deserves a run in the team. Tadic deserves a spell on the bench

I'm sure VVD can't wait, trips to Slovenia and Russia, just what he has always dreamed of.

Hoedt has been playing regularly for Lazio in pre-season. I don't think Lemina was for Juventus, which is why he's being eased in by MP. Hoedt though is match fit and quite frankly, we will need him. If Tadic starts I'll willingly participate in the pre-match meltdown.

According to the club twitter https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-08-24/maya-yoshida-new-southampton-three-year-contract-announcement

But for some reason included Defoe

Just had a look at the Huddersfield forum. They see this as their toughest test so far and believe they would do well to get a draw

The Premier League official social media accounts normally post on a Thursday or Friday the colours that each team will be wearing

That's not how we play though. One thing that is certain - we will dominate the possession stats. Hopefully we can do something with it. Another three goals would be nice.

I don't see him leaving, for the simple reason that he isn't close to being match fit. If a club is going to play £75M odd, they will want him available from Day 1.

Exactly. He and his agent could have been entirely reasonable about this.

Interesting thought If we beat Huddersfield convincingly, and as long as it's by a couple of goals more than Watford or Man City do against their opponents (or if they don't win at all) then by 5pm on Saturday we'll be top of the league. At least for a couple of hours before Man Utd beat Leicester.
