Lighthouse Posted 18 August, 2012 Share Posted 18 August, 2012 Saints obviously not in actions but there are plenty of other games to watch. Hoping for an Arsenal loss and a draw between Newcastle and Spuds in the late kick off as they will be our closest rivals for the Champions League places. Today's fixtures: Arsenal - Sunderland Fulham - Norwich QPR - Swansea Reading - Stoke West Brom - Liverpool Wham - Villa Newcastle - Spuds (17.30 KO) For those who still crave a bit of football league action, Pompey's new team of all-stars take on Bompey at Fratton. What's will you be hoping for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 18 August, 2012 Share Posted 18 August, 2012 What's will you be hoping for? Lee Barnard double hat-trick. As a second half substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 18 August, 2012 Share Posted 18 August, 2012 Phil Thomson and Paul Merson have us to go down. The only reason Merson had us to go down is our lack of pace out wide, which is a fair point at the moment. But when asked about Lambert he said he didn't see him scoring many goals as he doesn't have pace. Obsession with pace or what? Holt....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudders Posted 18 August, 2012 Share Posted 18 August, 2012 Obsession with pace or what? Holt....? He's just sung the praises of Newcastle based on them having pace all over the place, so it does seem to be his number one way of judging a teams likely performance!

Thedelldays Posted 18 August, 2012 Share Posted 18 August, 2012 After watching the first half on a stream I'd agree about Reading. Saw lots of the ball early on but dire in the final third. have said it all along...they were the team that went on one of those NPC unbeaten runs against the likes of saints, brighton west ham etc, they conceded so so many chances and relied to hit teams on the break and take the few chances they got play like that in the prem, a team like reading will get beaten most of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 18 August, 2012 Share Posted 18 August, 2012 As an aside Forecast on bench for Gills, Harding starts for Forest, Barnard for Bmth, Bart for Notts Co and Lee Holmes nowhere to be seen for Preston.
