Convict Colony Posted 9 November, 2012 Share Posted 9 November, 2012 That thread is comedy gold cos I know loads of birds who've read the book so use that thread to tear them apart. Think he should investigate Guido's next. Best cough syrup I can recommend is Benylin with Codiene, its currently making me feel the floor is tilting all over the place so everytime I am walking its making me feel the same when you are spinning around loads on one spot then try and walk, not fallen over yet though.

DrunkenSaint Posted 9 November, 2012 Share Posted 9 November, 2012 Why don't we try the christmas tree formation? --------------- Gazza Clyne-----Fonte-----Yoshida-----Fox -----Cork-----Morgan------Davis --------Lallana------Ramirez -------------Lambert Best formation for us but have Shaw instead of Fox and maybe Jwp instead of S.Davis and cork should be the holding midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted 9 November, 2012 Share Posted 9 November, 2012 Tomorrow is the type of game that, if we are to have any chance of staying in this league, we need to win. Nothing less. It'll be difficult, let's not get ahead of ourselves, Swansea are a good team, who keep hold of the ball well. I just hope we don't have the same midfield performance as Monday night or we'll get beat. Would like to see a 4321 Xmas tree formation (as has been posted before). Also think that we could see Boruc back in goal. Will also be good to welcome back 2 ex-Saints, hopefully they'll both have shockers if they play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanimal Posted 9 November, 2012 Share Posted 9 November, 2012 We just need one of their guys to make a cock up, like Vermaelen did last week, hopefully Vorm, its all fine lines at the moment and we need the luck to be on our side for once! A decent referee would help as well, cannot believe that Mason who we had for Spuds performed so differently on the next televised game!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dell Dave Posted 9 November, 2012 Share Posted 9 November, 2012 I work in Port Talbot with a few Swans supporters they are saying there back four is worse than ours with Chico / Taylor / Rangel and Vorm out with Gary Monk playing. However they did reluctantly admit that Monk had an excellent game last week. Also Dyer will not be in the starting eleven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 9 November, 2012 Share Posted 9 November, 2012 i actually think tomorrow's game will give us a strong indication on where our season will go. lose against a makeshift defence that includes Gary Monk then I think any little confidence we had will have been evapporated yet should we win then this can galvanise our season and we can go to QPR with much greater self-belief. I predict a 2-0 win for saints with lambert running rings around Monk. I hope Mayuka plays in place of JRod so Ramirez can play those through balls as the Swansea defense is almightly slow with Monk and Williams.

Bobbyboy Posted 9 November, 2012 Share Posted 9 November, 2012 Seems like no time ago Garry Monk was the perennial captain of our reserves/out on loan because he was never going to be good enough. And yet we're the ones bottom with 28 conceded already. I don't know what point I'm making other than THE WORLD IS MAD. Expect a quiet, professional 1-0 Saints win tomorrow. It's the least likely thing to happen, so it probably will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saint in winchester Posted 10 November, 2012 Share Posted 10 November, 2012 Loved this line from Lawro : I hate to say this, because it is only the start of November, but he probably needs to pick up at least four points from this game.... okay, he actually said this game and the next, but I only read to the above point and thought Lawro was being whimsical. 4 points tomorrow WOULD be useful.

And yet we're the ones bottom with 28 conceded already. I don't know what point I'm making other than THE WORLD IS MAD. He probably wasn't good enough for a PL Southampton. He was good enough for a League 1 Swansea. Some players take a while to develop. He's not a normal first choice nowadays, but a very capable squad player. Bit injury prone though (back). As a senior/captain he's important for bedding in new players into the squad. Funnily enough I just put his autobiography on my 'wanted' Christmas list tonight.
