CWD Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 I'm a bit bored and couldn't see one of these yet. This is a really important game to show how far we've come. Smashing teams at home all next season is all well and good, but irrelevant if we cant get to grips with tough surfaces away from home. If we win here, bearing in mind our next two games are Leeds and Swindon at home where I fancy us against anyone, then by a week on tuesday things could be looking very rosy indeed. I reckon we'll do em 4-2. Lambert (2), Lallana and Fonte
Smirking_Saint Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 2-0 Lambert and lallana The pitch will be sh*t and we will struggle but we will scrape through
dubai_phil Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 What's their pitch like? Well, it's sort of rectangular in shape, has some pretty white lines on it but I guess that's not important right now

farawaysaint Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 AAAAggghhh why do we always need the build up thread so early? Soon we're going to be building up three fixtures in advance.
Saint_clark Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 AAAAggghhh why do we always need the build up thread so early? Soon we're going to be building up three fixtures in advance. It's two days away. :confused:
Dig Dig Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 1-0 will do just fine. Goal off Rickies left testicle will do just fine. We just need to win.
S-Clarke Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 What's their pitch like? it's not as bad as Wycombe, and probably equal with the likes of Hartlepool/Oldham etc - where we have gone this season and won. It's not a mud pit anyway!

irishsaint83 Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 80 mins gone and still 0 - 0 - Pards decideds to shake things up a bit. Wayne Thomas off the bench and makes little impact until the 93 min. A shot rebounds off Kelvin Davis, Wayne picks up in our 6 yard box, dribbles past the 10 outfield Tranmere players (2 of them twice) and takes a 47 yard shot recorded by Sky Sports as having travelled at 133 miles per hour (prompted by the chorus of "Shoot, Shoot" from the cowshed end of Prenton Park) that hits the crossbar, rebounds out, hits of the back off tranmere goalkeepers head and then goes off the outside of the upright and out for a corner....ref gives goal kick contrary to the flag of his linesman and blows up. 0 - 0 final score - Pards post match press conference.... ".......we should have won but for the pitch....."
SNSUN Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 1-0 will do just fine. Goal off Rickies left testicle will do just fine. We just need to win. I agree with one nil, but it'll be Papa's knob that gets the goal. (Even more impressive seeing as he'll be on the bench at the time.) It'll no doubt be a shyte pitch, but any win will be acceptable, we need to start winning ugly. 1-0 is my prediction too.
opthomps Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 For all the years of supporting Southampton this is the exact type of game we always slip up in. For any other team I would say easy 3 points with the form we are in, but its saints isn't it. 1-1, but please prove me wrong, and show me we've changed
nickfinks Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 1-0 would do, but 5-0 would be better, can't remember the last time we scored 5, must be so long ago
Andy_Porter Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 We had better win. I ****ing hate the Liverpool area and wasting a day of my life there for anything less than a win would be depressing. Reckon we will beat them but it won't be quite so convincing as the last two. A Lambert free kick and a Jaidi header after going a goal behind.
SNSUN Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 1-0 would do, but 5-0 would be better, can't remember the last time we scored 5, must be so long ago A third 5 goal win in a row, and I may actually re-whitewash the walls of my home...
dellboypete Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 We won't concede Tranmere 0 - 3 Southampton last time I went there in 2001 (facup replay) it was 3-0 to us - at half time. but I seem to have forgotten what the final score was!!! Any one else there - it was a f**ing wet night
krissyboy31 Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 last time I went there in 2001 (facup replay) it was 3-0 to us - at half time. but I seem to have forgotten what the final score was!!! Any one else there - it was a f**ing wet night Yeah, Paul f'ing Rideout!
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 1-0 will do just fine. Goal off Rickies left testicle will do just fine. We just need to win. Took the words from my mouth! It matters not how we play, as long as we win.
unionhotel Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 How many are going up? I understand that you can buy tickets on the day. Is that right cos I'm coming over from the IoM for this one?

Can't imagine we'd sell out. Staffordshire/Shropshire Saints will be in attendance Weather forecast is good as well!
mattyg Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Interesting article worth a read: http://betting.betfair.com/football/english-football-league/league-one-betting-preview-saints-marching-into-the-champi-040310.html Including "This Tuesday something big happened. It wasn't on my usual five mile run around north London, as I glided past 'Minty' from Eastenders....yes it was him!!! No, something even bigger than than that occurred - Southampton absolutely smashed Huddersfield at St Mary's. A 5-0 drubbing of the Terriers was just about the performance from any team this season - and Alan Pardew's men are now 7.40 in the promotion market. I think that's a wager worth having. "
unionhotel Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Just read on the OS that you can pay at the turnstiles. Whoopee! See you there.
CWD Posted 4 March, 2010 Author Posted 4 March, 2010 AAAAggghhh why do we always need the build up thread so early? Soon we're going to be building up three fixtures in advance. erm its two days away? :confused: Dont post if it offends you so much!
Appy Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Heard it was selling quite well about a week back. Wonder how many have been sold now.
ladysaint Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Think this will be a tough one for us but can see us sneaking it with a wonder goal from 30 yeards out from Morgan Schneiderlin Football Genuis.
Born In The 80s Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 I have only just recovered from the 4-3 FA Cup tie under Hoddle so it would be lovely to give them a good thumping. Although i can't see it 3 times in row. I'd take a scrappy 1-0 win. If we can get our noses in front early then we should be difficult to come back at. I don't know why but my head is telling me we'll struggle in this one for some reason. Hate to say it, but if i was predicting anything it would be another 0-0 draw. Fingers crossed i'm wrong!
doddisalegend Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 I was at the home match (and if my memory serves me right) we struggled to break then down to start with but ended up winning quite comfortably. We have improved since that meeting (although so have they a little). I still reckon we will tonk them though 3-0 again I reckon.
Tractor_Saint Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 I agree with one nil, but it'll be Papa's knob that gets the goal. (Even more impressive seeing as he'll be on the bench at the time.) Always thought he was a clever d1ck
Sold To The Man @ The Bar Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Picked our tickets up today, the guy on the counter said we had sold about half our tickets. Going in the car ---- Stafford Services on the M6 for "Fat Blokes All Day Breakfast" Pass the red sauce !!
Dig Dig Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 [/b]Took the words from my mouth! It matters not how we play, as long as we win. so in other words, you had rickies left testicle on the tip of your tongue?
del boy Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Can't think about it yet, haven't finished the counseling sessions from the 4-3 result
saintds Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 The way we're playing right now, the pitch will be our biggest opponent. Still, suppose we've got to get to grips with "quagmires" at some point, so 13-1 Saints. Although 1-0 will do me just fine!
Guan 2.0 Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 One of the only times being a Saints fan in Liverpool comes in handy... 1-2 to us I feel. Pay on the gate, happy times!
SFC Forever Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 Tranmere are so broke I am surprised they didn't ask to play it at ours.
Gordon Mockles Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 Normally I expect us to slip up in these games but the team have given me confidence & 0-3 to Saints keeps coming into my head. Worth a squirt. Southampton 3-0 @ 16/1 Lee Barnard to score first and Southampton 3-0 @ 55/1 Jason Puncheon to score first and Southampton 4-1 @ 195/1 (had to do it with those odds!)
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 Tranmere away - if we're 3-0 up at half time please no one say 'nothing can go wrong now'. I would take a scrappy 1-0 win - just keep the wins coming boys and you just never know.....And I have red sauce in a sausage sandwich.
Saint_Jonny Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 Im going to this! Im pretty excited, you can see why given my status as a student and my current location! Season ticket holder til' this season so getting to games this season has been tough. Away games are more fun anyway! COYR, 3-0 I reckon. See you there.
thefunkygibbons Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 A 3-0 win for the Saints and everyone else above us to get dull draws
SoccerMom Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 Think this will be a tough one for us but can see us sneaking it with a wonder goal from 30 yeards out from Morgan Schneiderlin Football Genuis. This can't be, as we won't be there. The nipper has promised to wear a t-shirt that says, "I was there when Morgan scored."
ericofarabia Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 Picked our tickets up today, the guy on the counter said we had sold about half our tickets. Going in the car ---- Stafford Services on the M6 for "Fat Blokes All Day Breakfast" Pass the red sauce !! Don't forget to take some extra money to pay some scally's to "mind your car for you" during the match. It will be interesting to see how big the crowd is, seeing as Liverpool don't have a game this weekend and Everton are playing on Sunday. Will the scousers take the opportunity to see a classy team for a change
chestersaint Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 Can't imagine we'd sell out. Staffordshire/Shropshire Saints will be in attendance Weather forecast is good as well! As will I. Revenge will be sooo sweet.
South Londoner Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 Tranmere away - if we're 3-0 up at half time please no one say 'nothing can go wrong now'. I would take a scrappy 1-0 win - just keep the wins coming boys and you just never know.....And I have red sauce in a sausage sandwich. The Sausage Sandwich Game, pure radio genius !!
Toomer Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 Won't be a classic but I feel a hard fought 3-1 win is on the cards.
oggiee Posted 5 March, 2010 Posted 5 March, 2010 1-4, a poor first half, maybe go in behind, then a flood of goals in the second half including Morgans first goal for the club.
