Adams for Edozie soon please. And maybe Rothwell or Charles for Aribo. Ref giving us nothing and giving them dives. Annoying.

I wonder if Craig David will be there. #goat

Let's get this belted out at Wembley! FLYNN DOWNES to the tune of This Charming Man by The Smiths - Tackled player - On his arse, desolate, - Will nature make a man of him yet? - When is this charming kit - This charming man - Why sign a kid from Man City - When we've got Flynn Downes and he's fucking magiiiic? Na-na-na-na-na this charming man Na-na-na-na-na Flynn Downes

That's what she said!!!

I've got some sources in intelligence and they are saying it was Mossad. Even naming a legendary agent who ran the operation, Eli Koptar.

Congratulations to Lance Armstrong on another Tour de France win.

Lads, we've got a football genius here.

KWP seems to be playing from a deeper starting position than usual, which is a bit odd. I think we need to get the ball down the right as much as possible and be a bit more positive. Brooks has shown some great flashes and Smallbone times his runs inside really well. Obviously we lack a presence through the middle but let's hope Stewart has a good number of minutes in the tank. Massive shout to Fraser who is playing left back when they've got the ball and left wing when we have. Massive shift. Can see him coming off after 60. I wonder if WBA will start to open up at some point or whether they will stay as is for as long as it goes on.

Dubai Saints will be watching at Arabian Ranches Golf Club - upstairs bar. Failing that, Barasti may have it on, or one of the sports bars. There are plenty so get googling and you can ask them if they're showing it.

IF Che can't play, and assuming Stewart cant do more than, say, 45 mins, I'd go with a false 9. We did it quite a few times during our unbeaten run with Alcaraz and Stuey playing there. Unfortunately they are both injured though. So we could give Brooks a crack at it, or move Aribo up there and bring Rothwell in. If we do that, I'd have Stephens moving into front sweeper out of position, with Armstrong playing military outside right under Marquis of Queensbury prison conditions. Just a thought.

If the first is good, the second will be broken.

It won't get scrapped given that it's also used in European and International football. However, the protocols clearly need improving and as others have said, the transparency, professionalism and attitude of the refereeing body also needs to be improved.

Probably switch to a back 4 with KWP at left back. Their right winger seemed like their best player. Shoehorn can do right back. Armstrong, Adams and Fraser up top. Shame Stu Armstrong isn't fit

if Bazunu was playing?

One thing I'm sure we can agree on is that we'd all love to have a good old sniff of the Israeli bird's snatch.

The only pumping will be us pumping them good and proper.

I guess he might be talking about a media engagement. I.e. if he is offered work on the day. That's fair enough, really if he has to work to pay the bills.

If we play the same shape as against Leeds then we could go with Sulemana instead of Adams and bring Stewart on later. Means Armstrong needs to provide the link role but it could work quite well.

Todd, Bleidelis, Forren, Carillo, Forepast

Got one direct from a corner I think, so that probably counts. He must be a bit frustrated not to have got a couple more though.

You need to look at what the team in second needed to finish second. The highest there is 89 (on GD). 88 would have been enough in 8 of the 10 seasons. The third placed team never got 90, so is always enough for top 2.

We're playing well and Leeds seem tense/rattled. It's like they actually thought they might go up today. Manager seems to be losing it. Moaning about us not getting booked for fouls which are barely even fouls. Weirdos. Ref seems a bit of a fruitloop. I'd make a few changes to the booked players before we pick up a red card and slump to defeat. I like the system. Forces us to play to the forwards a bit quicker, suits the way they play and should suit Stewart. It also suits KWP, Smallbone and Manning. I've seen nothing from Leeds to fear. Downes so important though. Get him off soon, along with Manning and Bednarek. I'd like to see Brooks have a go at the Aribo role too.

For the record, I haven't been picking the team all season, but it's nice to see Russ listening to my expertise. https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/topic/60381-ross-stewart/?do=findComment&comment=3295404

For God's sake, why?! I hope this is just resting Manning or something. If we have anything other than KWP at right back and Manning at left back in t'playoffs I'll be fuming. Not that Manning is wildly better, although he probably is a bit better, but Bree is not a left back. I actually wouldn't mind us trying this: -----Shoehorn--THB--Janny Bee---- KWP----Downsey--BillyBone--Manning ---------------Aribo-------------- ----------Adams---Armstrong------- Fraser CDAJ at wing back if needed or maybe even in the Aribo role. Brooks ready in case Aribo or Smallbone need swapping. Edozie and Sulemana can give a pace option up front and if Stewart does get fit then he can play a straightforward striker role alongside someone giving him a hand.

Makes you realise what a machine JWP is.
