Charlton vs Saints - Saturday 12:30pm

[sockeye]

Give it up for the eliminator of Everton

the true pride of Wales who shied from the comfortable path of a PE teacher in a mining town

Tactics willed by God, only undone by ten men

The man who single-handedly stopped Guardiola's City from achieving the quadruple

Gone too long but finally back..

NATHAN JONES!!!!!!!

 

and charlton

[Willo of Whiteley]

Nathan Jones 1-1 Southampton 

(I imagine it’ll be all about him in the build up to the game).

[Turkish]

Statistically one of the top 5 managers in Europe v the Sports Republic Golden Child, the heir to the throne. The guy to finally guide saints to the greatest era in our history.

 

It's a heavyweight clash alright

The Rumble in the Jungle ❌

The Thriller in Manila ❌

The Brawl in Montreal ❌

 

Glory isn't given, its earned

When stats meet grit, only one can Stand

Fury at the Valley - Its showtime!

Think I'm happy for Nathan to take all the attention pre-match.

Saturday 12.30 games often feel quite flat, can see this being a 0-0 or 1-1 

Do Charlton have many away on international duty? 

[saintant]

Mad Nate from the Rhondda against our boy Tonda.  This miss match only ends one way.

[Saint86]

Curious to know how he will have built this up in his own mind... 

[OttawaSaint]

Bobby Charlton, Jackie Charlton, my highschool biology teacher Miss Charlton, Charlton Heston...you boys will take one hell of a beating!

0-1

[Appy]

Their best player can’t play, so that’s a relief. 

[Jeremy Corbyn]

Tbf, every manager manager we've hired since has been worse.

[Toussaint]

We are going to win.

This is the era of Spor(t)s Republic. I think the line for this should be:

Two weeks of dither and dally before the Valley.

The Dally at the Valley!! Love it!

[JohnS]

These next 2 games will be the proper test for Tonda.

I’m expecting us to get battered in all manners in both games & then it’ll be panic stations again for the new manager.   Absolutely Criminal that they haven’t sorted this out yet - but it’s no surprise given everything they’ve done so far. 
 

Truly hope I’m wrong & we see some fight & spirit

Saints rarely take advantage of an injured opposition player or even half a first team!

5 at the back. Armstrong down the middle. Fellows at wing back. THB and Stephens playing keepball. What's not to be excited about?

Don’t forget Baz in goal

If Jones has an ounce of sense he will know that a relentless high press will unsettle the team and serve up a calamity goal on a plate. He’ll know that allowing Baz/THB/Stephens/Manning/Downes to fanny around with the ball will not provide a threat atall - neutralise the transition forward in the first half and it’s game over. Let’s not forget where they sit in the table compared to us - any talk of a win is verging on the optimistic. Having said that, if Tonda gets his act together and the squad responds, we can win this. More likely 1-1.

Lets get ready to rumble!

Mouth watering 

[ErwinK1961]

Hard to know how we will cope playing against a team managed by one of the fittest humans in history and pound for pound best manager on the planet.

Dont think we’ll get near them. 2-0 defeat.

None of our players can play, so not sure that will help.

Not an injury.

You could be right. Mad Nate will have Charlton right up for it and we never beat Leicester.

[coalman]

The Jones celebration if they win will be a frothing masterpiece for the ages.

[suewhistle]

What if Saints should win? Will the froth be a different colour, who will he blame? Three points would be nice but watching that would be even better!

With Baz, THB and Stephens it will be - Lets get ready to crumble!

Charlton 0-1 Saints. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way oh what fun it is to see Southampton win away, oi.

I'll be on the coach up so hope to get in ground early to see Saints shooting practice before KO. I'll know then if the 5 to 8 low block and score on the break will work. 

DD to score in 95th minute...

[Hawkswood]

Ive always liked Charlton.  Good club and decent set of supporters. Its amazing how one man can make me despise them. Hes just such a cock.
