Saint Rees

----------Stek---------- Cedric-Fonte-VVD-Bertrand ---Wanyama-Romeu---- Mane----Davis----Tadic ----------Pelle---------- I know we did well in this game last year with Mane and Long up front with their pace, but Pelle is currently in good form. Lets see how he does against a shaky Chelsea defence, we could always bring Long or J Rod on from the bench if it isn't working. Too early for Clasie to start. Maybe bring him on for Davis towards the end if we are holding on for a result. The only concern for me really is the pace and trickery of Chelsea's forward players against Cedric, (and our whole defence really to be fair), but he's supposed to be our first choice RB and needs to play in games like this. I'm hopeful we can nick this 2-1, goals from Mane and a VVD free kick

Are there still any saints fans who would have Cork in the saints side over Wanyama? never really understood that

I like how realistic most of our players look now, but for some reason VVD has a grade 2 all over haircut

I liked the Poch one too 'You've got Paul Cook, we've got Ronald Koeman'?

I see. I'm not too bothered about on demand stuff so may flick between the two sites to find which is best for streams, trying to watch the west brom game for example was a nightmare on SMEU. Thanks for the info

Am I missing something here? Are SportsNationHD and SportsMania EU not the same thing?

This is what I noticed most about him, good to see he's so confident already

Lets hope he doesn't do a Clasie!

Seems strange that he's been in training with the rest of the first team for a few weeks now but hasn't been in any of the match day squads. If he wasn't in Koeman's plans then surely he'd have been shipped out? Perhaps he's still getting up to match sharpness and we might start seeing him on the bench in the coming weeks

He's been given the number 17 shirt

----------Stek---------- Cedric Fonte Yosh Targett ----Wanyama Romeu---- Mane----Davis----Tadic ----------Pelle---------- Hopefully VW is back for this and knuckles down. I'd also like to see Tadic on the left, he is best there or in the hole. Mane did well starting on the right towards the end of last season, but obviously he roams around anyway. Please don't start Davis in DM again, doesn't work. Long, Rodriguez, Juanmi and co on the bench

got a link?

Nolan is an awful player and an even worse bloke, ridiculous suggestion

Trying to get on there to watch the Arsenal Liverpool game but taking an absolute age to load the site

Good stuff. When do you expect it to be announced? By the end of this week? Not that it really matters I suppose

Surely Ronald will come out and say something similar to what he said about the Fonte rumours - not for sale

Norwich after this guy too according to Di Marzio

Will probably find out either way in RK's press conf this afternoon, surely rubbish/agent talk

He seems to be quite strange on twitter, no tweets but favourites lots of tweets about other dutch players - us signing Clasie for example. Could mean nothing but hopefully it means he's on his way!

The big man's having a medical at WBA according to Sky

Anyone know if we'll be wearing special shirts with plain red or white panels on the back for the numbers?

He may have chosen print at home/smartcard activation

He'd be good because he can also provide midfield cover for Big Vic, haven't seen any links though?
