Saints v Stoke - Saturday 3pm

[trousers]

No Adam Blackmore asking questions at today's pre-match press conference... anything to read into that?

[warsash saint]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE no 'we spy when we want chants'!!!

Eckert (paraphrased): "Jander not ready to play tomorrow. Potentially available for West Ham next week, but more likely not until next weekend."

Aka.. he’s on the move too and would only be fit when the window is closed ?

Was the women asking the questions from Radio Solent in place of Adam? For whatever reason.

Subject to a transfer to Villa

I suspect tomorrow will be carnage with people not being able to access tickets, not realising the access has changed and haven't installed the other app, not understanding how the new one works, or other technical issues.

Just a word of warning, do check you can access your tickets in airplane mode just in case there is no data flow once you get to the stadium.

Press conf: 'Are you expecting Finn Azaz to be in contention to start tomorrow?'

TE: 'Oh, not in contention. He will start'

Well said. Although you know it's going to going to happen.....

[Wade Garrett]

Lets get the season started tomorrow and fucking smash Stoke.  Can't see THB starting so probably Wood and Stephens.

No Jander, who I suspect is playing silly buggers, but Azaz starting will probably help Bragg.

Or we could go full Mike Bassett, 4-4-fucking 2.  Larin and the new guy up front, Downes and Azaz CM, with Downes playing deep and Azaz further up the pitch.  😂😂

THB will start, Jander is genuinely injured and it's very unlikely we'll go 442.

What's happened to your last season's optimism?

Puctuated by "We hate Pompey" chants even though both are irrelevant to this match.

And we’ve scored one goal against them in the last 5 or 6 home games 😂

Just remembered they have that keeper our fans kept wanting to sign , Viktor Johansson , always seems to play well against us

Apparently there are still 3000 people or so who haven't downloaded their tickets from the new app, according to the OS.

Wish I did not download my ticket last season for the home game against Stoke. My one home game this season will be 29th August Millwall. 🙏 

[CSA96]

Random question if anyone has been in this scenario. Borrowing a ticket at late notice for tomorrow's game for someone who can't make it - but it's an over-65 ticket, can I upgrade to adult at the ticket office or do the stadium staff not really care?

[whelk]

No THB for the game.
