@SouthamptonFC: The manager has just confirmed to us that @Luke_shaw3 has recovered from the recent illness that kept him out of #SaintsFC's last game.

 

@SouthamptonFC: Pochettino also says he is "surprised" by reports that Artur Boruc has an injury, adding that the goalkeeper has trained normally. #saintsfc

 

Hoorah!

Boruc feigned injury so that he wasn't responsible for knocking out England. He has to live and work here and I wouldn't want to be a hate figure, especially over a meaningless game for him. Well that's how my conspiratorial mind worked!!

 

probably didn't want to go down in history as the bloke who wasn't as good as the clown Tomazewski, left that to Sczesny

Well that's Artur's international career over then.

His only route to honours is with the mighty Saints.

Manchester United are very difficult to predict at the moment.

They won at Sunderland despite not being very good, while their last home game saw West Brom go to Old Trafford and play them off the park.

Yet, after watching the United players who played for England against Montenegro and Poland - and they all did extremely well - I would have to back them to beat Southampton, and comfortably.

This is a good Saints team and they will go and attack, because that is their strength.

But that win at the Stadium of Light, albeit slightly fortuitous because it came late, might just kick-start United under David Moyes.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0

 

Our strength is in our attack? Maybe someone should tell him we've conceded 2 goals and kept 5 clean sheets so far this season... :)

Utd are due to give someone a serious hiding soon,hoping it is not us

 

You seem to have mistaken them for the successful club managed by Alex Ferguson. Also, they beat Swansea 4-1 first game of the season, that's not long ago and surely fulfils that criteria?

Great odds for Saints to win this one.

 

I fancy a scrappy 2-1 Saints resulting in a Man United supporters melt down.

 

Everyone is saying that United will find their feet and climb the table to finish in the top 4. I'm not so sure myself.

Are you sure you're not looking at the photos? ;o)

 

not really. In each of the video sequences showing the keepers, and there aren't that many, KD is between the posts and Boruc is static to the side of the goal with Jimenez. As the thought of KD in goal for us makes me shudder I guess it's just over-reaction

That graphic is a dreadful prem record against them.

 

Time to nick 3 points, redress the imbalance a bit and watch the death star implode.

 

Boruc

Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw

Cork

Wanyama Davis Schneiderlin

Lallana

Ossie

 

Personally, I like that team... with Rickie avail as supersub. (or better yet, move Wanyama to the front sweeper role and reunite Cork with Schneiderlin.) But I can't see Poch switching to this formation.

Suspect he might try one extra midfield player, though. Something like:

 

Boruc

Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw

Wanyama Schneiderlin

JWP Davis Lallana

Ossie

 

...with JRod and Rickie avail to come on if we go behind.

Think we've got a great chance of winning. Put my money where my mouth is at 5/1.

 

5/1! Sometimes the big team bias works for you :)

 

Yep. I had 2-0 Rooney in the England game so used some of the profit for this. £20 on Saints win at 11/2 and £20 on the draw at 3/1

I had a feeling we would beat Liverpool, sadly that same feeling is not with me this weekend. I am full of pessimisticness, so if we can keep a clean sheet I think that would be awesome. Having said that, I also thought that Swansea would do a number on us, so WTFDIK?

 

Cant predict it, which is why this season is already so great.

Why oh why do you guys even think lambert will not start... there is nothing to suggest MP will Bench him.. he's still our best chance of creating/scoring chances.. wake up
