Against Watford, McGoldrick passed the ball to Richard Lee, then later on that half, Paul Wootton blasted the second spot kick straight at him.

I think Austin might start given he was withdrawn at 1-0 on Wednesday night.

"OPEN YOUR EYES KETTLE!" - Ah the memories of football in the lower leagues!

Nothing comes to mind in the past, but his source is very reliable so he tells me.

I keep getting told "Danny Ings... Danny Ings" at work as incoming.

Bertrand I guess has 21 as it's 2+1 = 3 ?

What England need to do perhaps to reignite disinterest is move the friendly games away from Wembley. With its agreement with Spurs to play CL games there next season, and probably League games the season after, surely they can do afford to do that? Leicester. West Ham. Saints. Newcastle. Villa. Could all fill the grounds.

Woy is banking on Wilshere getting fitter and better as the tournament progresses. I suspect he'll start with Dier / Wilshere / Rooney / Alli in the middle if he decides to go 4-1-2-1-2.

Alli will win for sure, because of who he is (Wonderkid) and the team he plays for (3rd).

(1) Best Saints game: Arsenal at Home, I forget there were two goals chalked off for offside/fouls that night. (2) Best player: Virgil Van Dijk (3) Unsung hero: Matt Targett - that delicious cross against Watford really kick-started the post-Xmas revival - Steven Davis/Romeu honourable mentions. (4) Funny bones: Nothing comes to mind immediately. (5) Worst performance: Bournemouth away in league, Europa exit in Europe - truly dreadful. (6) Best goal: Martina against Arsenal in terms of quality. (7) Best performance: Fraser Forster keeping Arsenal at bay at the Emirates. ( Fun chant: Pass. (9) Predicted position: Somewhere around 8th and 12th (10) High point: Charlie Austin at Man Utd, or Davis against Spurs.

Just get the 3-points and see what we win! Jackpot (5th), Millionaire Raffle (6th) or a lucky dip (7th)

The West Ham love in continues - its game is live on Sunday on Sky Sports.

Ex loan Saint bashes loaned Saint...

Could Dier get a retrospective ban for that last challenge if deemed as violent conduct, given it was not punished with a card?

Everton play Liverpool in midweek then FA Cup Semi next weekend - if Lukaku is a serious doubt I suspect he'll be held back to the bench today.

There'll still be people strolling up the aisles late to their seats!

City drawn in Semi Final 1, so does this mean it'll be playing the 1st leg on Tuesday 26th April, which should mean the Saints game remains Sunday?

Mr Fonte is also financing additional building works at his current home too.....

Smalling will give away at least one penalty for shirt pulling in the tournament, guaranteed.

I don't think Roy has the minerals to drop him, he'll play the "He's Captain of the team" line. If he does, fair play.

With Danny Rose's debut and Bertrand's withdrawal, I reckon there's a chance he'll now go to the Euros at Ryan's expense - Woy will definitely take one of Gibbs/Baines. Rooney will go back in when fit. Woy just won't drop him.

I believe Klopp went out onto the pitch and shook hands with most of the Saints players post final whistle. Can't see many other managers doing that after dropping a 2-0 lead. He is still annoying though

Pelle just doesn't like the yellow ball, it's as simple as that.

Pelle just can't play yellow ball football.....
