Dr. Kucho Posted 14 May, 2013 Share Posted 14 May, 2013 Rest for what exactly - its the last game of the season! They will all want to be at the party! Isgrove is training with the first team squad this week so will probably get a cameo. Strongest team available. Saints back to their best! They seem tired, possibly overtrained. If they play,whilst being overtrained, they have a bigger chance of getting injured (especially Shaw as he is only 17). MP also stated that Lambert hasnt trained properly for some weeks and Shaw and Schneiderlin have had injuries recently. I am aware that the higher we finish the more money we get, but I would rather we finished 15th, then finishing 12th with vital players being injured and missing parts of the pre season.

Jimmy_D Posted 14 May, 2013 Share Posted 14 May, 2013 Seeing as I'll be making an appearance, don't plan on anything better than a 1-1 draw!! Of the 21 games I've managed to watch Live or be down the pub and watch "Live" our record is a pretty dismal P 21 W2 D9 L10. Which means the games I'v missed "Live" = P 16 W7 D4 L5 Christ it's even worse than I thought it would be. Sorry Folks. Phil really wasn't joking about banning you was he?

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 15 May, 2013 Share Posted 15 May, 2013 Would love to beat Stoke purely because of how they bailed Pompey out with Loanees etc. while they were flicking the V's at football and bending all the rules.

Window Cleaner Posted 15 May, 2013 Share Posted 15 May, 2013 (edited) Would love to beat Stoke purely because of how they bailed Pompey out with Loanees etc. while they were flicking the V's at football and bending all the rules. What is it? About £2M a position? 800K'ish 17th would get us the square root of not much; bout 2.5 million and 11th about 6.5 million; based on last years figures of course. So 14 million equal share, about 5 million in facility fees (TV games) 19 million from overseas TV revenue (equal shares) and somewhere between 2 and 7 million in prize money I suppose. Total somewhere between 40 and 45 million based on last year. Goes up a bit every year though and next year there is more overseas revenue to be shared. http://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premiership/premier-league-tv-prize-fund-money-weve-all-the-figures Edited 15 May, 2013 by Window Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to them bringing 2500 all the way from Stoke. Although if it was the reverse fixture we would have sold out our allocation already. Should be a good atmosphere though with close to 32000 fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svetigpung Posted 15 May, 2013 Share Posted 15 May, 2013 i am flying over for this game. not had too much luck this season. so my expectations arent that high. would love for us to go out with all guns blazing. Gonna have a cracking day anyhow. can see Puncheon , Guly , Ward-Prouse all deservidly getting a game. Not exactly a weaker option. dont think it would be an easy game for Forren to debut.

trousers Posted 16 May, 2013 Share Posted 16 May, 2013 (edited) @SouthamptonFC: Mauricio Pochettino: "I'm very happy, but we always knew the team had the capabilities to stay in this league for next season." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "We need to win against @stokecity in order to be as high as possible in the table. That would make our supporters happy." # @SouthamptonFC: MP: "I don't really like to speak about myself. How we've done is down to the players and Nicola Cortese." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "It's very important that we finish this season with a win. As with all games, I'll chose the players best capable." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "I want to highlight the job Tony Pulis has done at @stokecity. They have a different philosophy but they believe in it." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "They've carried that through the season, and it's not easy to play that way so I congratulate them." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "For me, Michael Owen has been one of England's greatest footballers. I was unlucky to suffer his skill at the World Cup!" #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "It will be nice to see him (Owen) on Saturday. Maybe we can argue about that moment!" #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "It's very good that Shaw and Clyne are going to Euro 2013, but the bad thing is that they won't have much of a summer break." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "We're going to start looking at our goals for next season. In fact, we're going to have a meeting about them today." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "By 1st July, we want to know exactly which signings will be available to us. It may be difficult but we'll try our hardest." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "We'll try to speed up the decisions that need to be made. We don't want players to have trouble adapting." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "On Sunday it will be four months that we've been here. Many things have happened during that time." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "We need a bit of detachment to analyse that. We've improved and learned a lot but I don't want to get ahead of myself." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "We have an important game left. In my next press conference, I will be able to express a lot more about these four months." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "These four months have been the most intense I've had in football, so I may take a few days off this summer!" #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: Pochettino says Rickie Lambert, @Luke_shaw3, Steve De Ridder and Vegard Forren have missed some training sessions this week. #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "We may have more Under-21 players training with us today, so perhaps there will be a chance for some of them on Sunday." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "Rickie has had a back problem for the last month, but hopefully he will be OK for the game on Sunday." #saintsfc Edited 16 May, 2013 by trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 16 May, 2013 Share Posted 16 May, 2013 (edited) Lets hope those goals match those of Cortese! And that may explain why Rickie has been a little off the boil in recent weeks. Edited 16 May, 2013 by Saint Garrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you we're perpetrating a few of them as well; not on Rickie though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rshephard3 Posted 17 May, 2013 Share Posted 17 May, 2013 I hope MP proves he's actually been watching the games and drops Lallana. Puncheon must be amazed not to be starting at the moment and off the back of an equaliser at Sunderland he must start. I'd be tempted to leave Forren out now we are this far through the season but why the hell we bought a player who was injured until the end of a campaign, I don't know. What a waste of wages. Why not agree to take him in the summer?! If we don't win this we really have finished the season with a whimper and, after some spectacular results under MP, have slipped to mediocrity and a fair few performances worse than those served up under NA. Lets also give Morgan a bag load of support going into the summer, he needs to know he's a hero at Saints because he's the player the big boys will be looking at.
