eelpie Posted 14 September, 2012 Posted 14 September, 2012 For anyone that's in the home end, celebrate if we score. They're a noddy club and they will do absolutely nothing about you celebrating in their end. You're so naughty
eelpie Posted 14 September, 2012 Posted 14 September, 2012 I'm hoping Chaplow will be on the bench. His confrontational belligerence could be what is needed to break up their attacks when we tire towards the end and Arse's forwards crowd our defence, just as happened against Manure.. No-one else we have does this as effectively (when Chaps is at his best).

No-one else we have does this as effectively (when Chaps is at his best). He'll get sent off after his first tackle, most the Arsenal players are better actors than Keanu Reeves and will be rolling on the floor the moment Chappers comes near him with the glair of the sun radiating off his head....
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 14 September, 2012 Posted 14 September, 2012 Is the boy Ramirez likely to be in the squad do we know? With the international break he can hardly have trained with the team so game changing moments from the bench maybe?
THEVMAN Posted 14 September, 2012 Posted 14 September, 2012 I think it was the new boys first training session today and i doubt very much if they will be in with a shout,maybe on the bench at the very best.
Turkish Posted 14 September, 2012 Posted 14 September, 2012 Why? He's not done anything terrible, been nice about us and hasn't turned out rubbish (already better than Theo). His dad deserves some abuse but that's different. What about that interview he gave before he left? Basically saying he wanted to leave, he was now too good for us. That is unforgivable IMO. If you want to go fair enough, few could blame him, but to engineer your move via the media is disgraceful.

Turkish Posted 14 September, 2012 Posted 14 September, 2012 Bit like our gaston Yep, if he ever goes back to Bologna as a visiting player Id expect him to get some abuse too.
Thedelldays Posted 14 September, 2012 Posted 14 September, 2012 Yep, if he ever goes back to Bologna as a visiting player Id expect him to get some abuse too. Fair point I expect oxo to get a mixed reaction really... With theo getting a generally great reception

That is unforgivable IMO. If you want to go fair enough, few could blame him, but to engineer your move via the media is disgraceful. He gave it his all till he left, he followed the right protocol by signing professionally with us and ensured we got a record transfer sale out of him. Yeah he wasn't best when pushed on the move and took the silly advice of his dad but realistically it went the right way and didn't end up like Chelsea over Kakuta (who know rots in the reserves team). Plenty of players out there who properly deserve a booing and Chamberlain isn't really one of them

However Some of us don't particularly like our own players coming out in the national press and saying they are too good for us and want to leave, we dont consider that to be respectful and if truth be told, he mugged us off by doing that. If you're happy for them to do that and think that is going about things the right way then it's a rather distorted view. IMO of course.
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 14 September, 2012 Posted 14 September, 2012 Why? He's not done anything terrible, been nice about us and hasn't turned out rubbish (already better than Theo). His dad deserves some abuse but that's different. I love the way everyone wants to blame his dad. He only advised on the matter. Final decision was to down to the player. He very arrogantly dismissed our club when he left thinking he was better than us. BTW are you sure he is already better than Walcott? Hasn't been very impressive when I have watched him.
The Cat Posted 14 September, 2012 Posted 14 September, 2012 I'll give him a bit tomorrow. If he'd stayed we would have clearly won the league and I'd have been £450 better off. Therefore he's a pr.ick..

dannysfc Posted 14 September, 2012 Posted 14 September, 2012 Am Buzzing for this tbh as I've only been outside the Emirates and not inside so will be Nice to see what it's like and to tick it off the list as well!!! For those planning to use the Tube tomorrow I see that their is Tube Works on the Northern line from Charing Cross to Camden Town so I guess use the Bakerloo line or the Jubilee line to the Piccadilly line and on to the Emirates But it depends on what You are doing...!!! Where are people heading for drinks before/after as I'm thinking of having one before and maybe after But am not sure on where to go!?! As much as I'd like Saints to Win I can see it being 3-1 Arsenal with Lambert or Ramirez for Saints and I'm going to give Oxo-Chamberlain a Cheer as well as Walcott for what they did at Saints as well as I like them both But We'l See!!! Also will We be in White or Yellow tomorrow as well!?! Thanks! COYR!!!

With the international break he can hardly have trained with the team so game changing moments from the bench maybe? Bench probably. He'll be a really positive option to bring on, so I'm excited.

That is unforgivable IMO. If you want to go fair enough, few could blame him, but to engineer your move via the media is disgraceful. I really think it was his dad more than him though. To top it off after the transfer his dad, (or at least someone connected to the lad,) was on the messageboard making an ass of himself. Leave if you must but I really don't need your propoganda team on my case thanks.

Of course players of Ox's ability will want to play at the highest level and telling others that doesnt really mean much. I think you're being a little too sensitive and biased
Dig Dig Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 Turkish can be accused of a lot of things, but not looking at things through saints tinted specs! If anything he seems to have accidentally glued pompey specs to his face. Just a touch of irony that's all. I'm sure all the scary booing will teach OX a right lesson today anyway. In other news, I predict a narrow 2-1 defeat but with another good display to keep confidence high
Saint-Armstrong Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 Arsenal team: Szcesny; Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs; Arteta, Coquelin, Cazorla; Chamberlain, Podolski, Gervinho.
JPTCount Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 line up in the telegraph today... Davis Clyne Fonte Yoshida Fox Schneiderlein Ramirez Puncheon Mayuka Lallana Lambert would love to see this team start :-)
Window Cleaner Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 Arsenal team: Szcesny; Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs; Arteta, Coquelin, Cazorla; Chamberlain, Podolski, Gervinho. As predicted no Diaby then, no Giroud either but he was only about 40% for France during the week.See Arsene has finally caught on about Ramsey then.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 line up in the telegraph today... Davis Clyne Fonte Yoshida Fox Schneiderlein Ramirez Puncheon Mayuka Lallana Lambert would love to see this team start :-) Ramirez won't play that deep and that team is way too attacking IMO. Plus I'd have Hooiveld over Fonte, though I doubt Yoshida will start.
Window Cleaner Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 line up in the telegraph today... Davis Clyne Fonte Yoshida Fox Schneiderlein Ramirez Puncheon Mayuka Lallana Lambert would love to see this team start :-) with that team I think I'll see if I can get some odds on Morgan running over 13 miles. Too gung-ho, NC must have picked it.
Itchen_block4 Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 line up in the telegraph today... Davis Clyne Fonte Yoshida Fox Schneiderlein Ramirez Puncheon Mayuka Lallana Lambert would love to see this team start :-) We really would get slaughtered if we did that, far too gung-ho.
MOSaint Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 Shouldn't put any stock in newspaper predictions, several of them had Dean Hammond starting at CB against Man City in their previews the other week.
THEVMAN Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 As far as i know its the same lineup as the Utd game the new boys only trained with squad on friday.
itchen_dan Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 As far as i know its the same lineup as the Utd game the new boys only trained with squad on friday. Good. Adz looked much more at home and more comfortable on the left, linking with Foxy and cutting in. Very confident with CM 3 of MS, SD & JWP. Give it a couple of games and I think Adz will be back there and Ramirez one wing and Puncheon on the other. Very happy Puncheon is still in. Very impressive v United. Hopefully give Gibbs / Santos a good test aswell. Very confident we'll score today but still uncertain re: defence with Fonte and Jos there. 2-2.
itchen_dan Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 Well what great timing.... SimonPeach: Adam Lallana is having one hell of a week. England call-up, #SaintsFC at #AFC & just found his missus is about to drop their first #PAsoccer
The Kraken Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 Well what great timing.... SimonPeach: Adam Lallana is having one hell of a week. England call-up, #SaintsFC at #AFC & just found his missus is about to drop their first #PAsoccer About to drop? As in, imminently? In which event he could potentially miss the game? Or have they just found out she's pregnant?
Jonnyboy Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 About to drop? As in, imminently? In which event he could potentially miss the game? Or have they just found out she's pregnant? she's due any day apparently
Faz Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 she's due any day apparently If she can't wait til after the game, that's a poor show. This is football we're talking about.
Thedelldays Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 line up in the telegraph today... Davis Clyne Fonte Yoshida Fox Schneiderlein Ramirez Puncheon Mayuka Lallana Lambert would love to see this team start :-) Would get absolutely rinsed playing that
maysie Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 Saints team vs Arsenal: K. Davis, Clyne, Fonte, Hooiveld, Fox, Ward-Prowse, Schneiderlin, S. Davis, Puncheon, Lambert, Lallana © Saints substitutes vs Arsenal: Gazzaniga (GK), Yoshida, Rodriguez, Ramírez, Richardson, Mayuka, Chaplow
pap Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 Unchanged team, eh? Hope you know what you're doing, Nige!
lloydie Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 No guly on the bench? That will please some on here!
davefizzy14 Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 Very Pleased thats its Unchanged, can't wait to see when Ramirez comes on!
Aura Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 Poor form play Yoshida nigel cmon Jose better have a good game
The Kraken Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 Unchanged team, eh? Hope you know what you're doing, Nige! Couldn't really go anywhere else. The team that started against Man U was 2-1 up before it got reshuffled. Yoshida and Ramirez will only have trained yesterday, which is normally a finalising session working on specific positioning tactics and such like, so no real chance to integrate into the squad. I'd expect to see Ramirez for Puncheon at some point, and having Chaplow is a decent option if we're looking to shore things up and need a bit of energy in the midfield. Decent selection IMO, but would expect Ramirez and Yoshida in for the Villa game. I'm still not quite sure what Mayuka "does" yet, or where he fits in.
Saint_clark Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 Why have we still got cricket on Saintsplayer?
dubai_phil Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 Alone in pub but all sorted with tv & kilkenny. Everyone else still on hols boo coys! Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Thedelldays Posted 15 September, 2012 Posted 15 September, 2012 I'm sure it might, but I guarantee if the opposition went with a stupidly attacking line-up people on here would say they're going to rinse us. that is because many team that would play that against us will probably have top international defenders...
