[Saint-Armstrong]

Saints will be wearing shirts with poppies on. Will then be signed after the game and auctioned off for The Poppy Appeal.

[DT]

Will the poppy go next to the red splodgy 8? Who designs this stuff? I thought it had to include the leaves, pointing to the 11th hour?

Speak for yourself - looks like its been torn a proverbial new one.

There's no hard and fast rule about wearing the Poppy except 'You Wear It With Pride' and that'll do for me as an ex-Matelot.

There's no hard and fast rule about how to wear yoyr Poppy except 'Wear it with Pride' and as an ex Matelot that'll do for me.

[Appy]

will be a very tough game, they are a very decent side

 

no doubt, if we dont put 3 past them, the usual pr1ks will start to moan

 

Couldn't care less how we win, as long as we do.

[The Cat]

Danny Graham never scores and Hull haven't beaten us at home for over 60 years.

 

There, that's done it.

[Dalek2003]

Couldn't care less how we win, as long as we do.

 

Quite

[Jack]

Would be mad to play anything other than a front 4 of Lambert, Lallana, Rodriguez and JWP, assuming they're all fully fit. They'll all be raring to go out and continue to impress.

 

Team picks itself tomorrow IMO:

 

Boruc

Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw

Schneiderlin Wanyama

Lallana JWP Rodriguez

Lambert

 

Davis, Yoshida, Chambers, Cork, Davis, Ramirez, Osvaldo

 

1-0

Exactly the team and bench I would go with. I think we'll dominate from start to finish tomorrow and win comfortably. 4-0.

[BlakeySFC]

This has got banana skin written all over it.

[jamesfp1]

5-0

[The9]

Hopefully we'll get an early goal, because Hull are pretty solid. I'll go for 1-0 or 2-0.

[Turkish]

It'll be tight, their away record on paper looks poor with 4 defeats from 5, but when you consider those defeats came at Man City, Chelsea, Everton and Spurs, then it's not as bad as it looks due to them having 4 very difficult away games out of their first 5, we'd probably expect no more than a point or two from those. They don't score many only 8 but don't concede many either, 10 overall, 7 away from home so if we can keep a clean sheet we should win this and 1-0 is my prediction.

[RonManager]

We'll rip 'em to shreds. By half time they'll be on their knees, and in the 2nd half we'll turn the screw, no mercy.

 

It'll be a cricket score.

[teenagegsaint]

Boruc

Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw

Schneiderlin Wanyama

Lallana JWP Jrod

Lambert

 

2-0, both in the second half!

[Wade Garrett]

Is Osvaldo fit?

[Georgie]

Will be very a tough game, not sure about some thinking this will be a walkover! Would love to be proved wrong but a narrow victory I think.

Would start with same team as last week, hopefully with Osvaldo on the bench

[Saint_Tony]

Looks like a 1-1 draw, Hull are a solid team and will be more of a test for us than Fulham and Palace were.

[St Chalet]

Is Osvaldo fit?

 

Haven't seen him in any of the training pictures so I assume not. Wouldn't be surprised if we didn't risk him before the next match on 23rd.*

 

*awaits someone to show a picture and tell me he is in the Italy squad

[SaintRobbie]

2-1 Saints victory - easy

[St Chalet]

Italy squad announced Sunday

He was in some of the training footage. Think it was stated he'll have a late fitness test. I expect to see him start on the bench.

Ta, hopefully he can play some part.

He can clearly be seen in the video of training when Saints' England players were announced. Pictures 14, 17 and 38 in the training gallery.

[Graffito]

Hull will come for a point and may get it. The crowd will have a big part to play today.

[Saint_Ash]

Our English stars will bottle it, scared of picking up an injury and having to pull out. Hopefully goes the other way and play blinders to get noticed for a starting place.

[ericofarabia]

Is Osvaldo fit?

 

Plenty of the ladeez seem to think so :-)

[Batman]

I have saints in my accy (to win)

my accys are appalling, so that is that i am afraid

[Saint Garrett]

COYS!! Will be very tough but think we'll escape through. 1-0 Lambert.

[trousers]

Is Osvaldo fit?

 

Yes, although he's not really my type

[trousers]

Good start for the warm up act...

 

@SouthamptonFC: #SaintsFCU18s have taken the lead against their @Arsenal counterparts inside a minute through Josh Sims. Follow @AlexUCannon for more.

 

@SouthamptonFC: It's now 2-0 to #SaintsFCU18s! Ryan Seager has doubled the lead on a rainy day at Staplewood after only two minutes. What a start!

[ericofarabia]

2-0 .... it's the new 3-1.

[Scoobysaint]

Think this will be a stroll today. 4-0

[Glasgow_Saint]

Hull have lost 4 of the 5 away from home. Hope we get the focus right

[igsey]

Team news in half an hour, although this team pretty much picks itself. Hopefully Osvaldo's on the bench, this might be the ideal game for him to come on with 20 minutes left and grab a goal.

[Batman]

win this and would be 5 home wins on the trot

[Turkish]

Quite a few people seem to writing off hull, they are a decent side who will be hard to break down. I think we'll win but talk of 4 and 5 is deluded.

[trousers]

I agree with Turkish

[Batman]

I also agree with turkish

Bruce is a very decent manager and has a decent squad. they never needed 10 games to get used to this league

[Saint_Ash]

Agree, unders at 4/6 is a decent price I reckon.

He can be the new Guly

I agree with Turkish

[Saint Garrett]

I agree with Turkish - may well be a frustrating afternoon. Get an early goal and will be comfortable. COYS

So did Fulham
