Back home after a trek across Dubai to find an Al Jism agent. (Thanks to EoA I actually had advance notice we were going to be on telly here)

 

Bought a new Sat Decoder card (US$100 for a year) so that can watch nPc CL & 6 Nations.

 

Got home, followed the instructions to the letter while installing it.

 

You know what happens next don't you....

 

 

Correct, isn't working, their Customer Service re-opens on

 

Sunday.

 

 

What date is it today?

 

:facepalm:

 

Serves me right I guess. Oh well will try email

 

Perhaps the decoder isn't set up correctly, they can be temperamental things sometimes.Is it satellite or cable ?

Plus sometimes it takes them a while to see that you're on line and spark up your connection.You usually have to leave on some channel or other for a fair old while.

Looks like no new additions to the squad for tomorrow then? Lee debut next week?
Should imagine so, NA said he wouldnt be available for Saturday but hope for him to be available for selection next week against Leicester.

Should imagine you'll be able to watch it on FirstRowSports.tv

 

Lol I got it because First Row is presented in Judder Vision down here

Yeah Sat, OSN HD box with second slot. I had the service during WC 2010 but expired just realised old box blew up so that may be it. No chance to get through on phone at weekend so pinged them an email with the info to tech support. Have left it on that channel & done the whole reboot thing.

 

Oh for the Sky Monopoly

Do we actually know where Barnard is in terms of fitness? He was on the video kicking the ball about with Lee.

 

Probably end of Feb, beginning of March....could be sooner though, we have some quick healers at this club! He's had his opp and has started light training, but will be a while before he can participate in any full on stuff.

Hard to say but i would have thought the formation will change during the match anyway.

 

Thanks, that isn't too surprising given who's available. Do you know if Ben Reeves is involved? Or Hoskins?

Posted
So who else apart from Chaplow and Fonte?

 

Richardson, Butterfield, De Ridder. Maybe Connolly as well possibly.

 

I think we may see a rare start for Holmes...

 

Educated guess at team:

 

Davis

Harding Jos Martin Fox

Cork Morgan Hammond Holmes

Lallana Guly

Richardson? Was he injured at Coventry, he certainly didn't play? De Ridder too I imagine. It's hard to keep up these days because we don't really get told about injuries etc.

We're having a fair share of injuries now, more than usual I'd suggest.

 

The squad still looks very thin with some suggesting that we still have quite a few injured players. Will be a tough game tomorrow !

Posted

I think Hoskins and Guly upfront could work.

 

I'm a ST holder and from Nottingham - i'm looking forward to this game less than any other this season - don't know why but have a weird feeling!

Posted
Davis: Harding, Martin, Hooiveld, Fox: Schneiderlin, Hammond, Cork, Lallana: Hoskins, Guly?? My Guess!

 

depends if Reeves or Hoskins is higher in the pecking order I guess.I liked the look of Hoskins last week, seemed to have a bit more about him than Reeves...not that that's a criticism mind you.

Posted

Going to be a very long day with that team - and hard to think of anything better.

can't see why, as long as we get it right from the start it's a decent side.

 

There is a distinct lack of goals in that side. That's the real worry. I have a hunch that SDR and/or Connolly will be available though - Adkins didn't give much away regarding injuries so its all guesswork though.

If the news on the injury front is correct, hard to think of a better team. But it looks like it might struggle.

 

Can see the front line getting isolated from the midfield and being hurt down the flanks by their FBs (which they did to good effect at SMS). Even worse if Lallana starts coming inside and/or dropping deep to compensate. Also probably the slowest side we could put out which nullifies any threat on the counter.

Looks like we're going to have to keep clean sheet - with bouncy, bouncy Kelvin at the moment I have no confidence. Our away league form will continue unabated. I have been very optimistic this season but tomorrow I feel is going to be a veil of tears. I can see us looking up at a club by 1700 hours.......**** just as things were going so well...ho um as it ever was.

Posted

If we do not win 1 of our next 2 games I am going to be very worried. 4 points would be ok, but 6 would be fantastic, against the old skate and scummer manager.

Honestly, the team have performed way above expectations. But, does anyone really think that we had any more ambition than consolidation this season ? Once you accept this, and our modest investment in players both in the summer now is proof of this, it is easier to be happy with a final position of around 17th !

17th placed teams in this league will generally finish on 54 points, we have 47 already!

 

21 games left are you predicting 2 more wins, one draw and 18 defeats? 0 wins, 7 draws, 14 defeats?

They say it's better to travel than to arrive but I'm not going to be thinking that on the way up tomorrow.

 

I'll grab a newspaper and feast my eyes on the championship league table - little old promoted Sarfampton lording it over West Ham, Cardiff, Midds, Battery chuckers, Ipswich, Reading, Watford et al.

 

It doesn't get any better than this, put 17th out of your mind and ENJOY: We ARE Souff-ampton We're TOP O' THE LEAGUE!!!!

 

 

 

One - Nil ...... GULLY!

 

 

Get in!!!!

Well yes as he is a tool.

Thx Windows - got me going in the right direction, LNB's Horizontals and all that.

 

Still ain't working tho. Think I went wrong when I read Polarisation and put my Sunglasses on

 

(Mind you I found another 1267 Arabic Language channels Go Me!)

 

Will get a need to get a "tekkie chappie" round in the week

 

Leaves me no choice but to find a pub to watch tonight as Billy no Mates groan - no trolling match thread tho - Hooray

 

had a whole load of new Nuns - boo

Good luck with that. Get Josh to have a word with the Goodfellas manager - after all we are normally a bigger pull than Man U !!

 

Will try and txt later, not sure if my fingers will work in temps of 5c and below though!!

More or less, yes.

There should be a stream as the game is showing in the US, ME and Asia and is showing on one of the TV sites. Off to be productive and back in 5 hours..

 

Hopefully now I've paid I'l be able (HINT, HINT STEVE) to post lots of "hurrah, Guly" or "Laallllana!" type messages. If I don't reappear this afternoon can someone let SG know: he has a very protective spam filter on his email which doesn't like Italian stuff!
