I think its 3412 though, with JWP playing the number 10 role.

Well for a 3pm fixture, the players come around 10.45-11am. I think Sunday's fixture is at 2.05pm- so I'm not sure tbh if players will come earlier or not.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year boyss! Hoping the Saints can make it a perfect one!

Where in my post did you get the idea that I thought Barca was in England. All I said was Everton had 3 loans, like we do now.

looks like media has found its latest victim. *sigh*

Those lambasting his finishing, his finish vs. Leicester (albeit offside) showed he has the ability.

This is Lawro's as well if anyone gives a f**k. Southampton were missing a few players against Everton last weekend and still rolled them over. That was a big result for Saints and it arrested their slide. Crystal Palace competed well early on against Manchester City, but ended up being well beaten. I get the impression with Palace that, if they score first, they can give teams a decent game. If they concede first, it is a real problem to them. I am pretty certain Eagles boss Neil Warnock will look to bring a few new players in when the January transfer window opens. Warnock knows they are in a relegation fight and he also knows what they need to stay up. They are not under-achieving by being fourth bottom and, if they are still there at the end of the season, then it is happy days for them. Lawro's prediction: 1-1 Guy Mowbray's prediction: 1-1. "Could have tossed a coin with this one, so will go for the middle option. Palace to score first."

The greatest pundit in the world has spoken: Paul Merson. 'Southampton will feel much better after the Everton result but this will be a tough game for them at Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace are a side that always seem to play well but never win! They never seem to put in a bad display but can’t get over the line. I worry about teams like that, so I’m going for a 1-1 draw.' ....right, Paul...

Everton had 3 last season too I believe- Lukaku, Deuolofeu and Barry.

Not sure if im an idiot but does DGP mean dubious goal panel?

'3 nil, and your hats are sh*t' Quality chant hahaha wins it for me Great atmosphere after nervy start, Long/Yoshida MOTM.

but everyone would turn on Koeman! It's easy with hindsight to say we should have played the U21s last night, but then what, if we had lost, some fans probably would've called for Koemans head. What Koeman did yesterday was the right thing, only gripe I have is that he should've taken Morgan off when Wanyama got booked, but oh well. We were playing a League 1 side, but thats cup football. Upsets do happen. I've actually moved on now

This poem came up in my English GCSE. Bad memories of it tbh haha

It's ok guys, dw, I am taking my cousin with me to this one- he's seen 8 previous Saints games- and the record is 5W and 3D's! And those 5 wins have been his last five games!

Funny thing is if we win this and get into top four, is the dream back on? lol.

well theres still the FA Cup guys. :/

...

well... change this thread to sheffield united? i'm more than furious right now. #andbreathe

and thats the best case scenario. so, no cork, morgan, wanyama. brilliant. and a painfully thin bench. looks like its back to normal as a saints fan. prediction: 0-3 Everton

yeah true, if that, I underestimated Crystal Palace :/

This is worse than SUNDERLAND result last year. At least in the Sunderland game we were actually in the game, and if you can remember Lambert missed from 5 yards. This was truly pathetic. I can see us collecting just 1 point from our next five games. Absolutely shocking.

it's gone horribly wrong. well the season was good whilst it lasted. it looks like the christmas period is going to be long.

Right, so if Mane gets a couple of goals then what... Perfect for him to regain some much needed confidence.

didn't Van Persie as well? I'm getting a recurring theme here.

For those on SportsNationHD (literally best streaming site going), Willow has confirmed the game will be on- however he doesn't know about the quality- I'm sure it will be great though!
