Turkish Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Aren't you worried you won't stand out enough from the other people who are going dressed as northern farmers? I thought most saints fans go to games in tramp fancy dress?
Tokyo-Saint Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 I thought most saints fans go to games in tramp fancy dress? Sometimes I wonder why we bother Turks. The others need to literally pull their socks up.
shurlock Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 (edited) Seems like we'll have quite a few there tomorrow, loads in the neutral end too. So let's get the all important FACTS on the table. With so many of us there it's important we make a good impression on a decent part of London, so no scruff bags please. What is everyone wearing? I'll probably go for timberland shoes, boss cords, a black fine knit boss collared top, a black wax barbour jacket and my grey flat cap. How are you all dressing for the occasion? You sound giddy with excitement ahead of your big day in the smoke. Did you manage to sleep last night? Just remember to pace yourself pal - tragic seeing things end in tears when the day turns out a bit too much for them. Wouldn't want Verbal on here commenting on the mores and manners of the provinces... Edited 1 February, 2014 by shurlock

Saint_Tony Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 We really should be winning this one. Fulham are very poor, and it looks like only Holtby is eligible to play from their deadline day signings. Got a bad feeling it'll be another dominant performance,but another draw. 1-1. We will dominate the midfield, but we're not scoring enough goals, maybe it's the day for Big Vic to chip in with one on his return
Shroppie Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Apparently not certain Holtby was registered in time. Looks like he was and starts. Won't have trained at all with them though

Roger Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Boruc Clyne fonte yoshida shaw Cork Morgan Davis lallana j rod Lambert Subs: Davis, Gallagher, wanyama, ward prowse, chambers, hooiveld, guly.
S-Clarke Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Boruc Clyne fonte yoshida shaw Cork Morgan Davis lallana j rod Lambert Subs: Davis, Gallagher, wanyama, ward prowse, chambers, hooiveld, guly. I reckon that's likely, although wouldn't drop Chambers. He's keeping Clyne out fairly at the moment.
Roger Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 I reckon that's likely, although wouldn't drop Chambers. He's keeping Clyne out fairly at the moment. Clarkey. I don't think it's fairly as Clyne was brilliant before and after he was injured. Hasn't made a mistake at all. Want to include big Vic but could Morgan play Davis role? I doubt it. Either way cork has put himself right up the pecking order.

Want to include big Vic but could Morgan play Davis role? I doubt it. Either way cork has put himself right up the pecking order. It's not about Clyne making a mistake at all, he was injured (in fact he's been injured most of the season), Chambers came in and has been absolutely brilliant. You can't just drop a player who has been brilliant just because someone has come back, it's all about earning your place through an oppertunity and Chambers has fully earned his place right now.
Saint Garrett Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Chambers doesn't deserve to be dropped, for that reason I'd start Chambers

I live near Craven Cottage and we see the away crowd wearing that 90s clobber every time there's a home match. Such a relief when they're all gone and we can get back to looking like we're part of the metropolis in 2014. (We can also bring our speedboats back out of hiding.)

I don't agree. Think Clyne has earnt his place over last year. However, like chambers too

Sheaf Saint Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Just a little confused why the Beeb have chosen an action shot of a player who has now left us under controversial circumstances as the preview photo for this game... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25892225

And give the kid another chance to shock 'em. Love the idea of playing Cork Wanyama Schneiderlin. Cork and Wanyama right in front of the back four, giving Spider opportunity to break forward. He can be lethal in the box.
NewYorkSaint Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 ...oh, and I can't choose between Chambers and Clyne. Both really exciting to watch.

Edmonton Saint Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Cork dropped, Vic back in, Lambert up front..
JoeShmoe Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Peach saying VW starts ahead of Cork and SRL back

dubai_phil Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Really looking forward to the golf oops sorry Match thread today.
Bobbyboy Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 I understand about first choice etc but sheesh that's tough on Cork. He's be MOM or close to for the last few games. I guess this is final proof that MoPo stands by what he said, they can't both play in the same team.
JoeShmoe Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Can't believe Cork has been dropped. VW was awesome for us at the start of the season, especially away, strengthens our defence. Long season, they will all play
Batman Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Can't believe Cork has been dropped. at the end of the day, wanyama was a big part of us getting to 3rd our form lately is not THAT great. unbeaten but letting in lots of goals.

Leicestersaint Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Cork has been MoM in several recent games - he was outstanding against Arsenal and Sunderland.
Batman Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Cork has been MoM in several recent games - he was outstanding against Arsenal and Sunderland. yet we still ship soft goals and have done since VW been out
dubai_phil Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 yet we still ship soft goals and have done since VW been out Drop Morgan & play Cork & VW?
bazza Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Should have been the same midfield as the Arsenal game for me. Big decision by MP to drop Cork, he's been excellent recently. Wanyama wasn't puling up any trees prior to his injury.
Batman Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Drop Morgan & play Cork & VW? drop MS. LOL no chance
Dalek2003 Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 We are only 10 points above relegation zone. We need 3 points to avoid being dragged down.
laughba Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 #FFC starting XI v @SouthamptonFC : Stekelenburg; Riether, Hangeland, Burn, Richardson; Duff, Sidwell, Kvist, Parker, Holtby; Bent
Batman Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25892225 quite funny on talksport the bookies were giving odds on mitroglou scoring the first goal odd
Convict Colony Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Am pretty sure Vic has also scored a goal before in his career
JoeShmoe Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Disgraceful to drop cork. Disgraceful, don't be soft. Look at Glasgows form guide, is it a coincidence that when VW went out we were a lot poorer defensively. I like Cork as much as everyone else but were stronger defensively when VW plays. He's a tank
NewYorkSaint Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 The slight puzzle is that Davies keeps his place ahead of Cork. I love Davies, but think Cork overall has been better. MP must see them as two really different positions/skill-sets. Cork breaks up opposition play and distributes, vs Davies a little more creative moving forward. I can see that... but still wish he would try Cork/Vic as partnership with Spider replacing Davies. Truth is, we have plenty of great midfield options, esp when you add JWP to the mix.

We don't have a player called Davies, and Steven Davis plays in a different position and role to Jack Cork. Wanyama and Cork are vying for the same role, Davis plays further forward in the three behind the striker.
