Skate bus sneaked in round the back

Yeah, f***ing annoying. Assume that was a police thing rather than the club letting them get away with not pitching up at the front?

Just walking past Riverside Park, about 5 minutes from Bitterne Park Triangle. I can already hear the ground.

Nope, live in the Gifford, North Bristol.

He's picked the team I would have picked so no complaints.

*Although i would have put McCarthy in goal

[Colinjb]

Actually would have liked more of the new blood in the side, but overall happy.

Sure we will see them off the bench in the second half.

COYR!!!

Might not be the ground, walking from the station there's just chanting coming from every direction.

Good 11.

think we can put to bed the idea of a SR-mandated 5atb now.

Just gotta smash ‘em. Only a win is acceptable. 

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

James Beattie is in the studio. Great Saints player. Good Times.

Come on Saints. Be heroes!

[Saint Fan CaM]

Only one result needed today - a convincing win - even a draw would be a disgrace given our squad and the formation chosen. Let’s absolutely embarrass the fish fuckers. COYS!

It is LOUD. Interesting the two cbs retained not include our new big boy Quarsie. Pity. Mind you I’d have him down for a guaranteed yellow if he came on. That’s probably why. Shame. It’s almost worth it to see Quarsie smash one of them..

[east-stand-nic]

Seeing that line up, it's got to be 3-1 Saints....Archer scores two I reckon. Be interesting to see if the back line is solid.

[St Chalet]

If the team keep their heads they win this comfortably. On paper and on the grass a much better side.

[Saint NL]

Good changes.

The bench is very strong for this level, hopefully we're in a position to give Jander, Scienza etc a run out and see what they can do.

[TheSoundman]

5-0

Scienza comes on and scores a Giggs-like worldie

I've woken up this morning with that horrible sick feeling in the pit off my stomach, it's either absolute dread that we don't win today or the amount of red wine i drank last night!

Red wine mate, I have exact same symptons. Get yourself a toasted cheese sandwich. And watch Saints play this lot down the M25 on how to play footie!

[Dr. Kucho]

All set and ready here, walked the dog, table set, girlfriend has her nun costume on, now all I need is a good livestream.

To everyone in the stadium, make us proud and everyone watching from wherever you are, let’s beat the Skates.

Pretty happy with that lineup.

Pretty pissed off with the massive queues at Heathrow check in. Hurry the fuck up!

[ButtikonSaint]

I moaned about the quality of the squad before the last game. 
Although the new boys will need time to bed in and back up the hype, certainly looks different today.
Can't wait

Good to see Rasmus has gone for 4 at the back for this one 

He picks the team right?

That cunt Matt Taylor on the pitch. Don't let him speak.

Slightly further than you, I could hear the ground from the corner of Dimond rd & castle rd. COYR

Do we win more on ITV or Sky?

Benefit of sky is no skate matterface commentary!!

[Verbal]

Dear god

If we lose today I want autos in return.

Please & thank you.

PS I don't believe in you but don't take that as a negative. Also, win *and* autos would be nice.

That's settled, then. Outrageous if he's doing it. I mean he's bloody terrible anyway.

[Saint NL]

Itv summary so far, 2 mins of franny and 5 mins of adverts....

[gio1saints]

Love this Great new warm up routine - just smashing it into the box and somebody scores it. None of this rondo shit. Now they just take a pass and score. Good. Less passing more shooting. 

[Convict Colony]

Kicked people out of the house and moved the sofa within 1m of a 55inch tv, no messing today.

Pity about Tim Sherwood talking bollocks, he's obsessed with home fans turning on us, but I expect goals.

[benjii]

Southampton till I die...!!!

Is on ITV apparently

[Cabrone]

As if there wasn't enough riding on this one Ipswich look like they are up and running, Leicester are moving and Stoke\Bristol\Boro are looking good. 

We need the 3 points to stay in touch, we know the routine in this league - there is normally one or two teams who blast off and it's very difficult to catch them when they are in full flow.

Lets get that win for local pride but also to get our season up and running.

[Suhari]

Bosh. Made it.

Parked up at the bar in London's Pride, terminal 2. Full English ordered and a pint of ESB on the go.

A bargain at £26.75.

Game on.

COYRs!
