Jimmy_D Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 Premier League @premierleague Howard Webb has been appointed referee for Southampton v QPR on 02/03/13. #SOUQPR Glad about that personally, normally calls our games right down the middle.

Wes Tender Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 Glad about that personally, normally calls our games right down the middle. Probably the best Premiership referee. We've seen some real shockers this season, some seemingly no better than their lower league counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 I think we should bring puncheon back for this one and leave davis out. he has done nothing wrong but I want to see Jrod stay in the team on the basis that we carry more of a goal threat with him in the side for some reason. i think lambert benefits from having another striker (albeit out wide) making runs which draws the defenders away. its funny because with 3 out and out creative players behind lambert we sometimes struggled to create clear cut chances. i just think Jrod gives us that extra body with an eye for goal in the box. boruc clyne fonte yoshida shaw cork morgan puncheon lallana Jrod lambert subs davis fox forren davis ramirez mayuka jwp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloatingbridgeSaint Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 I cant see QPR having the spine for this sort of game. To me they already look like they are resigned to being relegated but couldn't care less as they will still get paid or negotiate moves elsewhere. I bet their agents are already lining up moves as a backup plan. That said, I actually thought after the Man City game we would take Newcastle apart but seems the 2 weeks break put us into lazy mode. All I want is for us not to be involved in a survival battle on the last day of the season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Who? Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 Just looking at the fixtures. We could go above West Ham and Newcastle, and if this does happen this I think will mean the bottom 3 will all lose. On to Norwich and mid table safety is nearly ours.

You do realise half this forum have been spunking on about how we're going to finish tenth/twelfth/etc, don't you? So there's plenty already convinced we're safe already. And Wow all you like. Hit thirty on Saturday, and we're on to two more wins from ten to seal it. I personally think we are capable of that. That okay with you?

capitalsaint Posted 26 February, 2013 Share Posted 26 February, 2013 I remember that foul up by Kelvin last time around and Dexter Blackstock nipped in to score. These two will not be playing so we shall be ok on Saturday. Bale controlled all of our attacks from left back that day, he seemed the only player who was composed on the ball. I also left very confused as to why the QPR fans chanted 'we've got John Gregory', didn't seem anything to brag about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Shaw gets injured, we have the option of Clyne at left back with Cork at right back, or Yoshida at full back. If Clyne gets injured, again you have the option of Cork/Yoshida at right back. Either scenario, you don't need (or want) Fox. It's not that I think Fox is a bad player, he's been generally quite good for us, but it's that when he is on the pitch, bad things happen.

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 26 February, 2013 Share Posted 26 February, 2013 Webb is a decent ref. We've had a few nobbers this season but he should be fair. Would love to drive another nail in Saggys coffin. Great chance to do so. If we're not up for this as much as QPR I will be asking questions of Pochettino.

Saint Garrett Posted 26 February, 2013 Share Posted 26 February, 2013 If he's on it though, he's a matchwinner.

We would be touching mid table if we had Boruc in goal since he came in, rather than dropping him for making one little mistake in the heat of the moment.
