ericofarabia Posted 4 October, 2013 Share Posted 4 October, 2013 WOOT. Just realised it is Sunday. So providing I survive (another) Polish Wedding looks like I'm gonna be drinking Zwieic at about 1.20 a pint for the game here in Krakow. Don't want to put a dampner on things, but it's not a Sky Game. It has been moved to Sunday due to The Sea Swans playing Euro Match on Thursday. I'll be making a (hopefully) triumphant return to The Barasti with DubaiSaints. 4.30 KO (1.30 UK) on my sleep day should see me squiffy after 2 pints!!

sandwichsaint Posted 4 October, 2013 Share Posted 4 October, 2013 Bbc saying Shaw is ill may not make the game Clyne and Chambers at FB? Not ideal, maybe 4-3-3 if we are deprived of our flying wing backs? .............Arthur ............ Chambers Usual Usual Patsy ......MS ......VW ......... JC ....... ......JR ..... DO ........ AL .......... Keep it tight, don't give Swansea room to play between us, control the midfield, those front three have a goal in them, keep Swansea honest, 1-0 It won't be pretty but whoever said finishing top 6 would be pretty?

Nothing wrong with Polish weddings - two days of eating, drinking, smoking and dancing. Zwiec? What about the navy-floating quantities of wodka? And if you're offered Kashanka go for it - bloody fantastic! Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotonswan Posted 5 October, 2013 Share Posted 5 October, 2013 I really can't call this. Swansea's defence is a bit of a mess at the moment. Amat is a very poor replacement for Ashley Williams, and Tiendali is not fit to lace Angel Rangel's boots. So Southampton could edge this via a long ball and keystone cops comedy defending. Amat apparently has some history with Pochettino and Osvaldo at Espanyol Friends reunited for Jordi Not sure who that advantages. Southampton probably. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 5 October, 2013 Share Posted 5 October, 2013 LS and GR will not feature tomorrow Will be interesting to see who gets the nod at left-back. Fox is able but Dyer is exactly the sort of player he struggles against. Alternatively if Clyne shifts to the left that makes no left-footed players in the team who will start on the left and will massively impact the way we play.

Saint_Tony Posted 5 October, 2013 Share Posted 5 October, 2013 Don't think we're capable of winning this unfortunately, we're not at the same level as Swansea are yet.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 5 October, 2013 Share Posted 5 October, 2013 We were no doubt VERY lucky with the fixtures/start given this season. Said i expected 14 points from the 1st 7 games and we are on track. Results havent come quite in the order i expected and home performances against poor Sunderland and WHU sides have been worrying. Lets hope MOPO has us up for this tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you share your definition of the long ball please? I'm honestly not being snarky. I just want to know what today's definition is amongst regular people. As I was using it (can't vouch for anyone else), a ball launched aerially from around halfway or slightly behind aimed between two centre backs who aren't used to each-other, in the hope that neither actually deals with it. The onrushing striker steals it and makes a one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Really shouldn't work at this level, but . . . . . I hope I'm wrong.

St Chalet Posted 5 October, 2013 Share Posted 5 October, 2013 Danny Fox, whilst not in Luke Shaw's league, improved massively last year as the season went on.

Early days still but rough guess would be; mini-leagues (not in order) Man C Arsenal Spurs Man U Liverpool Chelsea Saints Everton Villa Swansea West Brom West Ham Newcastle Palace Cardiff Sunderland Hull Fulham Stoke Norwich So at moment happy if Everton, Villa, West Ham, Swansea and West Brom drop points. Could quickly change - maybe Man U will stay in our group or we will keep up with the top group. I'll be happy with wins for saints, chelsea, spurs and arsenal today, but win for us, Norwich and West Ham puts us clear in 3rd and would send me to work tomorrow smiling!
