Dr Who? Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Hoping to take my daughter to her 2nd game and her first away game, if I can buy tickets on the day. Her first game 4-1 v Villa, was going to be Wigan home, but she was ill. I am going for 1-4...... Bring it on.
Saint Garrett Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 I think we'll win. Hopefully get 3k up there sing our hearts out, day/night on the **** in Manchester. Happy days
forever a red and white Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 This game is massive. We shouldn't get complacent because they quite easily rolled us over earlier in the season and seem to have a habit of pulling results out the bag. Having said that a win, could take us six points clear before we get butt ****ed by City.
Saint Garrett Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Boruc; Clyne Yoshi Hooiveld Shaw; Morgan Cork; Rodriguez Gaston Lallana; Lambert Davis Davis JWP Forren Fox Guly Mayuka.
SuperSAINT Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Will be a lot trickier than people think. I remember people saying we'd turn them over easily @ St Mary's.
S-Clarke Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 They're no mugs. Will cause us problems, but we can cause them problems. They're still without Kone which is a bonus. And obviously they're missing Boyce and Ramis who are key in their backline.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 (edited) Dont care about the result just hope we play well and people compliment us Reading/Norwich/Fulham/Newcastle/QPR AND Wigan all got points tonight/yest so this is now must win Edited 30 January, 2013 by Glasgow_Saint
Lighthouse Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 It's a must not lose match as much as anything. Just don't give away any ground to the teams below us and we should be okay, same as when we go to Reading and possibly Newcastle. Having said that, this game is very winnable. Would be tempted to start with Lallana if fit and Shaw too.
SaintRobbie Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 We played so well against Manure tonight and pressed so hard that I wonder if MP hasn't burnt us out for the Wigan visit. I hope not, but we shall see. Winnable - I'm going for 2-0 to Saints nonetheless.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Would be nice to see Forren or Fonte alongside Yoshida.
saint_ed Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 We owe them one for defeat at st Mary's. We're a different team so will be disappointed with anything less than a win.
melmacian_saint Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 If Fonte is not back from injury, just get Forren going straight away. We cannot play another PL game with Hooiveld on the side. It's just not possible.
Thedelldays Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 (edited) we really need to win this...we havent won enough and people keep going on about how brilliant we are and how NA was doing so well... yet we are only 3 points from 19th place......we have drawn too many so really need to win this lose it, and we are in deep shyyyyyyyte.....reading seem to be in championship mode...scoring both of their only shots on target last night...wish we were not as wasteful and they have a home game they will be expecting to get points from again on sat....QPR have norwich at home...(villa away to everton) we really have to win this....I think we will as they have 2 key injuries at the back... I personally would drop Ramirez...utter garbage away from home...in so far this season, not really a £12m signing....barely completes a game...and is a complete passenger on the road.....

Saint Martini Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Boruc; Clyne Yoshi Hooiveld Shaw; Morgan Cork; Rodriguez Gaston Lallana; Lambert Davis Davis JWP Forren Fox Guly Mayuka. That would be my team aswell even though I might prefer Forren for Hooiveld if he's matchfit. Kone up against Hooivelds "speed" is not something I want to see...
Saint Charlie Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 That would be my team aswell even though I might prefer Forren for Hooiveld if he's matchfit. Kone up against Hooivelds "speed" is not something I want to see... Think Kone is away at the ACON.
Saint Martini Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Think Kone is away at the ACON. Great! Di Santo and Hooiveld sound like a much better match-up.
Jack Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Too tough to call this, could go either way. Play with the same intensity as last night, and be a bit more accurate and ruthless, I think we'll win. We battered Wigan for an hour before throwing it away earlier in the season, and that was when we were sh*t. That, and our record being very decent against the rest of the bottom half, I think we'll scrape a 2-1 win. Please.

Disagree about Ramirez, we just need to play him in the hole. He plays badly on the wing and with Lallana back he doesn't need to. Also as Wigan play wingbacks are wide players will have less defensive duties. Plus we don't have many options.
saintbob40 Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Start with the team that started the second half last night but with Shaw for Fox. Tough game though......

And he has had plenty of game time in the hole... Wigan is going to be tough and they swamp the midfield... Having a spare part there will do us no good If he does play, hope he makes the difference... He clearly has the ability to
ben05 Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 2400 sold as of the other day. Hopefully be close to 3k on the day. Really looking forward to this one
View From The Top Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Biggest game of the season, new ground, proper away fans with no plastic tourists. Happy days.
Saint Garrett Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Fully intend on our fans making a racket on Saturday.
ToreSF Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Results been very up and down for them, but the comeback at Stoke was impressive. Think it will be another draw.
alpine_saint Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Scharner still has 2 days to p*ss everyone off at Chips N' Mushy Peas FC
norwaysaint Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 People can't compare it to when we last played Wigan. This time we're playing them off the back of a really gutsy performance against one of the Manchester sides where we were actually ahead but ended up being beaten by just one goal.
Matthew Le God Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 People can't compare it to when we last played Wigan. We didn't have/use... Boruc Forren Shaw Cork Puncheon Ramirez For that game vs Wigan in August.
Barry Sanchez Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Really looking forward to this game, in fact can not remember looking forward to a game so much for years, new ground, good boozers and great pies, scouse Liverpool mate coming with me, I want to show him real fans not cling on glorys.
tajjuk Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Am yet to see a game where Ramirez is not a passenger away from home.... And he has had plenty of game time in the hole... Wigan is going to be tough and they swamp the midfield... Having a spare part there will do us no good If he does play, hope he makes the difference... He clearly has the ability to Agree I just think in a lot games he's been played wide left, he was in the hole last night but he won't be the last player to have a bad day at OT. He was wide left (or right) at Fulham away, Villa away, WBA away, Sunderland home and thsese seems to have been his poorest performances. he's been poor in the middle against Liverpool and Utd, but then in the 'no 10' he's played a key role in some of our best results like Newcastle home, Arsenal Home, QPR away and Villa home. In that positon he has 10 games, 3 goals, 2 assists. Out wide he has 5 appearances no goals no assists and has been generally poor. I agree he's been inconsistent, but he's clearly very talented and the more he plays (in the right position) the more we will get out of him.
Jack Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Really want to go, but the 750 mile round trip from N.E Scotland is probably a bit much. £111 and 14 hours on the rattler on my own doesn't sound great. Gutted as I would've been amongst a group of 14 on a mini bus up from Southampton if I was working locally at the moment.
Barry Sanchez Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Do you think Adkins sacking was in a small part to do with the fact he never got Ramirez playing to his full potential and Cortese sees Pochettino as a peron who possibly could, simlilar to Bentitez and Torres?

Benitez has got Torres playing to his full potential? Ramirez will come good. He's still adapting and clearly has talent. I'm convinced he'll be a class act next season if we stay up.
Saint_clark Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Great! Di Santo and Hooiveld sound like a much better match-up. Di Santo is a cracking player.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Massive opportunity. Win this and I reckon we'll have the momentum to kick away from the drop zone permanently. With Lallana and Shaw back in we have a great chance if we apply ourselves the same as the second half at Old Trafford. We are great value on the coupons at 2/1.
The Cat Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Got my ticket yesterday. Anyone got space in a car to give me a lift from Southampton area? I'll pay petrol money and promise not to be too annoying.

I'm convinced he'll be a class act next season if we stay up. No he has not but the point is Benitez was employed to get the best out of Torres, whether he has done is another matter altogether.

hypochondriac Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Really want to go. :-( I might do just to p*ss you off
The Cat Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 I'm driving from Newbury on Friday night and coming back Sunday if thats any help? Need to do it in the day ideally. Cheers for the offer though.
redder freak Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Maybe start with the team that ended the game at OT. Then bring on Ramirez second half.
London Saint Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 We will get our revenge here. They are poor, with awful fans and we are officially The Best Team To Play At Old Trafford This Season
Tokyo-Saint Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Even better than the team that won at Old Trafford.
Thedelldays Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 We will get our revenge here. They are poor, with awful fans and we are officially The Best Team To Play At Old Trafford This Season Spurs????
Doctoroncall Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Think Kone is away at the ACON. But they do have Roger Espinoza who played extremely well on his debut against Stoke. Him and Beausejour are the ones to watch out for.
Andre Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Changes from United game: Forren in for Hooiveld (if deemed fit), Lallana in for Rodriguez, Shaw in for Fox. Tactic: attack, attack, attack... let's prove we really belong here and win with confidence. More creativity than normal would be nice, we really on lofting it up to big Rickie way too much, but with Lallana back in the team we should have a bit more of the fancy interplay we saw at the beginning of the season. Result: a resounding 2-0 win, with opportunities for more. Wigan will come close, but our defence will do a great job. Back up to 15th as Chelsea finally win on the road and take the points from Newcastle. Could even make ground up on Norwich if QPR beat them, and Villa to lose too at Goodison. Reading could pick up a point or three, so we need to be winning this one. Could be a great weekend all-round!
