Saint-Armstrong Posted 21 September, 2012 Posted 21 September, 2012 Saw that on twitter just now. MLT re-tweeted something about this afternnon Is it his account or a fake one (gazza's not MLT)? Fake.
Stepgar Posted 21 September, 2012 Posted 21 September, 2012 Only an idiot would put it on twitter the day before the game. But wouldn't surprise me if he did start.
The9 Posted 21 September, 2012 Posted 21 September, 2012 (edited) Hmmm....if you do a search on Facebook for 'Paulo Gazzaniga' there is only one page with that profile picture and that has just 13 'fans' (aka followers) and is quite clearly not his personal page. My money is on that screenshot being a fake. You can hide your FB page from appearing in any searches, so that doesn't really mean much. Though I'd say this looked much more like his personal page, and as you've said, it's not that other one : http://www.facebook.com/paulo.gazzaniga.1 So in summary, Gazzaniga rumour debunked. Edited 21 September, 2012 by The9
Tokyo-Saint Posted 21 September, 2012 Posted 21 September, 2012 Didn't one of the younger lads put on twitter about having to sing in front of the first team (giving away that he was going to play) and then start last season?
The9 Posted 21 September, 2012 Posted 21 September, 2012 Oh, and in case no-one's mentioned it, Villa will be playing in fluorescent green and navy tomorrow.
Window Cleaner Posted 21 September, 2012 Posted 21 September, 2012 Didn't one of the younger lads put on twitter about having to sing in front of the first team (giving away that he was going to play) and then start last season? but that was the Carling Cup, not the same thing.
capitalsaint Posted 21 September, 2012 Posted 21 September, 2012 Can't imagine too much of Villa's gameplan would be based on who is in goal. It's one of the least important positions to reveal early, and it isn't as if they'd have much time to change their tactics even if it was true.
St Chalet Posted 21 September, 2012 Posted 21 September, 2012 Davis Clyne - Fonte - Maya - Fox Schniederlin - Ward-Prowse Puncheon - Ramirez - Lallana Lambert I reckon this will be the starting XI
The Kraken Posted 21 September, 2012 Posted 21 September, 2012 I reckon this will be the starting XI Davis for JWP and that's it, IMO. Also wouldn't be surprised if Gazza is actually in.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 21 September, 2012 Posted 21 September, 2012 Just had a look at a Villa forum, majority of them expecting a win, with quite a few predicting that they'll hammer us. Also some saying we're down already.
Appy Posted 21 September, 2012 Posted 21 September, 2012 Just had a look at a Villa forum' date=' majority of them expecting a win, with quite a few predicting that they'll hammer us. Also some saying we're down already.[/quote'] Let them think that, they won't be far ahead of us at the end of the season, of that i'm sure.
Saintandy666 Posted 21 September, 2012 Posted 21 September, 2012 (edited) Can't wait for tomorrow, really feel like it could be the start of something! Edited 21 September, 2012 by Saintandy666
dannysfc Posted 21 September, 2012 Posted 21 September, 2012 Am looking forward to the game along as I see a Response after getting Spanked 6-1 by Arsenal last weekend and would be Great if we do Win which I think we will 3-1 with goals from Lambert, Lallana and Schneiderlim/Clyne and Bent for Villa But We'l See!!! Would also like to see Ramirez Start his Home debut which would be Good too!!! Does anyone know what the rough attendance will be too!?! COYR!!!
student Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Tommorow is the biggest game of the season for you imo, not taking points would be disasterous and winning could really set you off. A loss and i cant see you avoiding relegation this year
Dig Dig Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 We need to start well and make sure we take our chances during the periods when we are on top.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 After hearing the lengths that NA went to at both pre-match press conferences, repeatedly telling journos that he will not give any team news out until 2pm tomorrow, and going into some depth to explain why - if PG has really done this then the boy's in the poo bigstyle. Frankly I think it's a wind up. I think so too. Cannot honestly see NA risking this game on PG - would be a shock. On the game itself, I am very much looking forward to it and think Saints could win, however I suspect we will be 2-1 up with 10 minutes to play and Villa will come back with a Bent substitution and goal to draw 2-2. Bitter sweet once again.
Pilchards Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Gazza Clyne Fonte Mushi Fox Puncheon Spider Cork Lallana Ramirez (goes anywhere he wants) Rickie.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 but that was the Carling Cup, not the same thing. Doesn't matter if it is the heineken cup or the world cup the principle is the same. Some young lad gives it away on twitter that he will be in the first team and then is.
dubai_phil Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Rough Crowd. Bent Substitutions. Jeez, glad I'm gonna be watching from the safety of the pub Re Gazza, sounds like reverse psychology. Give the youngster plenty of time to get his head ready for the game in training and let him tell his mates so they can get to the game to watch.
supersonic Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Just had a look at a Villa forum' date=' majority of them expecting a win, with quite a few predicting that they'll hammer us. Also some saying we're down already.[/quote'] They have higher expectations for us than most on this forum do!
Chez Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 starting to get nervous. Read on BBC website that Villa have never lost to us at SMS. Need to get in their faces straight from the off.
trousers Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 My first game of the season and my son's first ever premier league game. Will be happy with a draw - need to get a point on the board. COYR!!
Cabrone Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 I fancy a real tear up on this one - plenty of goals. Could go any way.
ottery st mary Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Positive thinking........4-1 win. Leaving sunnnnnnny Devon...... will be in position to make sure the players know what they are doing to ensure this result. COYS....Get behind the team today WIFM
Thedelldays Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 what happened the last time we played villa at SMS and who scored the winner..?
VectisSaint Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 starting to get nervous. Read on BBC website that Villa have never lost to us at SMS. Need to get in their faces straight from the off. Usual stupid stat, we have only played them 4 times at St Marys, drawn 2 lost 2. Did it mention we have not lost to Villa in the League for 7 years? Looking forward to today, think we will win, probably 2-1, just hope we play like we did against the Mancs, and not how we did against Wigan.
Ziggy Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Just had a look at a Villa forum' date=' majority of them expecting a win, with quite a few predicting that they'll hammer us. Also some saying we're down already.[/quote'] I work with a lot of Villa fans and not one of the are expecting to hammer us. They did play well last week though by all accounts.
Thedelldays Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 they will have a bit of pace and movement up front......which is a worry. then again, so do most team now
The Kraken Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Ticket update; 568 tickets still available, so hopefully the walk up numbers will mean we get close to a full house. Around 60 tickets have suddenly become available in block 1; all towards the back of the stand. Obviously they'd been held back for some reason, who knows what. Hopefully there aren't others blocks of empties that haven't been released, as per Wigan and Man Utd. And if anyone fancies being generous today, me and some mates will be down at the ground bucket rattling before the game for the Saints Foundation. Every little helps....!
dubai_phil Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Tactical change for today. I'm taking a lucky Nun to the pub. Photo on the match thread later if technology works properly (And no before you ask she's about 3 inches tall)
Wade Garrett Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Anyone know how Mayuka has been shaping up?
Webby Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Where's that stream thread? Thought it was being made a sticky?
Saint Garrett Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 We better bloody win today, out tonight with 8 west ham fans, don't think I'll cope if we don't get a result!!! COYS!!!
beavis17 Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Kris Temple @kristemple Latest word on the #Saintsfc street is that it appears Gazzaniga WILL play, regardless of fake-Facebook-gate #gills
Bearsy Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 I'm with a load of villas up the pub (I'm in birmingham). Confident ain't the word. Their main concern is if they should be resting players cos they've got a tricky cup game in the week. Barstards.
Ohio Saint Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Tactical change for today. I'm taking a lucky Nun to the pub. Photo on the match thread later if technology works properly (And no before you ask she's about 3 inches tall) I'd ruin her.
Ohio Saint Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 I'm really amped up for this match. I've invested ALL my unfounded optimism in it.
Thedelldays Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 I know a few villa fans and they assume they will walk it today.... Even when I pointed out the tough start we had... All I get.. Is "you lot are absolute crap with a donkey league 1 striker up front"
Window Cleaner Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 I'm really amped up for this match. I've invested ALL my unfounded optimism in it. I did that last week.
Window Cleaner Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Kris Temple @kristemple Latest word on the #Saintsfc street is that it appears Gazzaniga WILL play, regardless of fake-Facebook-gate #gills makes sense, he can't be any worse than the statue we had in goal last week.
suewhistle Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 I know a few villa fans and they assume they will walk it today.... Even when I pointed out the tough start we had... All I get.. Is "you lot are absolute crap with a donkey league 1 striker up front" Please Rickie, oh please....

Maggie May Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 It's a big call dropping Davis and hope it pays off. I've been hoping Davis could replicate his form against Leeds away last season.
trousers Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 I didn't appreciate how tall Gazzaniga is. He looks almost a foot taller than Davis!
Under Weststand Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Good luck to Gazza hopefully he can step up to the plate & we get off the mark with a good win. 3-1 Saints.
