Bearsy Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 sorry to disappoint, philly! I've deferred the ole head in the oven, until after we get mugged at Villa Park. VILLA 1 - 0 SAINTS
The Cat Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Just gone in huge* on Villa at 9/2. Easy money. *£8
brett24 Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 A lot of people betting on villa tonight according to some tipsters.
Panda Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Despite all the injuries they can still put out a pretty good side, on a par with their standard team last season. N Zogbia, Agbonlahor and Weimann up top, they'll look to counter with pace. Just have to be patient, don't force it, and hopefully our class will tell come the final whistle. Pelle hasn't scored for a couple of games, so must be a shoe in to score tonight. Didn't "their standard team last season" nearly get relegated?
SaintPete Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 A lot of people betting on villa tonight according to some tipsters. I bet on Villa too. £10 at 19/4. As someone else said hopefully I'll look on it as a happiness tax at the end of the game, if not that's £57.50 back. Amazing odds for a team playing at home, even if they are coming up against an in form team!
Jack Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Well I'm betting based on stats and form, rather than my irrational paranoia that we're going to balls it up. I'm on 0-1, 0-2, 0-3. Hoping we keep it tight.
whelk Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Graziano Pelle to score and SouthamptonFC to win is now 3/1. That's the bet my friends. Stop p1ssing your money away on Villa win
SNSUN Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Come on 0-0. That print goes on the lounge wall to remind me of a disappointing display against the Villa when we really should have won. :-) (and not on eBay like some of you ingrates!)
RedWillie Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Gonna be a tougher game that some people think . They got a credible draw at wet spam recently, admittedly with a stronger team. If saints get their arse into gear early tho, I think we'll do it.
JoeShmoe Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Would quite like to see Reed get a start, think he could be a straight replacement in the Steven Davis role
igsey Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Reed will be in the squad, he's not in the U21 squad, they're kicking off at 7pm.
Matthew Le God Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Reed will be in the squad, he's not in the U21 squad, they're kicking off at 7pm. Reed has been on the bench for the last 8 games (since Ward-Prowse was injured). Its hardly a surprise.
Lighthouse Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Was looking for team news on Saints twitter feed and had a small heart attack when I saw Gazza starting. Thank f**k it was just the U-21
Asaint4ever Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Was looking for team news on Saints twitter feed and had a small heart attack when I saw Gazza starting. Thank f**k it was just the U-21 I had a small heart attack reading this till I seen the England u21's
saintwbu Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 for anyone that doesn't have the club on Snapchat; Dusan and Morgan both on the video walking into Villa Park in full tracksuits and carrying wash bags so imagine they'll be featuring.

We know Tadic is OK more interested to know about Steven Davis.
Asaint4ever Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 We know Tadic is OK more interested to know about Steven Davis. Davis is out for sure. It's more if Morgan is playing.
igsey Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 for anyone that doesn't have the club on Snapchat; Dusan and Morgan both on the video walking into Villa Park in full tracksuits and carrying wash bags so imagine they'll be featuring. Great news, cheers.
saintwbu Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Confirmed on Twitter, one change for tonight which is Long in for Davis
ThreeSixty Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Tadic into a more 'midfield' role I'd assume with Mane on Long on wings. Thought he'd go cork though.
Avenue Saint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Tadic playing through middle behind Pelle? Nice
nta786 Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 No problem tbh, only worry is no one off the bench to really change things...(Cork basically lol) Having said that, you never know, maybe Mayuka (if he comes on) will score!
Bobbyboy Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Wow, he's going for it.. all four attacking players in the starting lineup. Last time out Cork replaced Davis when injured... this time it's more attack-minded. interesting.
VectisSaint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Villa bus delayed. Why do they use a bus?
Smirking_Saint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Tadic into a more 'midfield' role I'd assume with Mane on Long on wings. Thought he'd go cork though. Doubtfull He tends to go for blood when he smells it, as exampled in the West Ham game I fully expect Tadic to be more central of the forward 3 but licensed to roam
Andy Durman Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 This is an impressive team line up How about Villa
USaint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Maybe they have seen our line up and they are now looking for a bigger one to park in front of their goal
Andy Durman Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Aston Villa: Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Cleverley, Sanchez, Westwood, N'Zogbia, Weimann, Agbonlahor ©. Substitutes: Given (GK), Bacuna, Cole, Richardson, Bent, Lowton, Grealish.
Leicestersaint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Maybe they have seen our line up and they are now looking for a bigger one to park in front of their goal Ha - !!
Baird of the land Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Rather dubious about that line-up. Would be far happier with cork in there. Guess I'll cross my fingers and hope it is a Koeman masterstroke.
Saxon Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Wow, he's going for it.. all four attacking players in the starting lineup. Last time out Cork replaced Davis when injured... this time it's more attack-minded. interesting. Well I guess since Villa have so many injuries, and crucially to their defence, he's really wanting to exploit that. Though I have to say, whilst we're attack minded, we still have a solid f*ckin defense in there, the usual culprits. I have to say, whilst this will be a tough game for sure, I will be dissapointed if we don't win this. Being 100% realistic, based on both team's pre-break form, their injuries and our fully fit squad (minus Davis), we should be able to win this, by hook or by crook, especially with Koeman at the reigns. Come on Saints, you can do this! set us up nicely for next week against City!!!
The Cat Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Villa bus delayed. Why do they use a bus? They need something to park in front of their goal seeing as most of their defence is injured.
Window Cleaner Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Rather dubious about that line-up. Would be far happier with cork in there. Guess I'll cross my fingers and hope it is a Koeman masterstroke. It's our usual first choice side less Davis and with Long isn't it, or am I being obtuse. Cork isn't amongst Ronald's base structure I think.
Batman Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Rather dubious about that line-up. Would be far happier with cork in there. Guess I'll cross my fingers and hope it is a Koeman masterstroke. dubious? it is one change!!!
CanadaSaint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 To keep playing the way we've been playing we'd have Corky in for Davis, surely? If Koeman thinks he can overpower Villa with offence (without much fear of their offence) he'd make the change he's made. This is either going to go very well or very disappointingly, but we've seen no reason not to trust Koeman's judgment.
Batman Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Im guessing Tadic will be playing more centrally.
sandwichsaint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Aston Villa: Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Cleverley, Sanchez, Westwood, N'Zogbia, Weimann, Agbonlahor ©. Substitutes: Given (GK), Bacuna, Cole, Richardson, Bent, Lowton, Grealish. That would best be described as 'workman-like', is there anybody in that X1 who would get in our starting X1? (That's done it!)
Batman Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 That would best be described as 'workman-like', is there anybody in that X1 who would get in our starting X1? (That's done it!) guaranteed to lose now, lol
OttawaSaint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Pundits on TV here in Canada (incl. ex Hammers and Ipswich goalie Craig Forrest) and heartily fellaing Saints. Hope this isn't a banana skin moment...
Saint_Tony Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 There can be no excuses for not winning tonight, Villa 1-3 Saints 3 (Pelle, Long, Mane)
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Long upfront with Pelle...interesting Would have thought Long is still on the right, Mane left with Tadic in the midfield 3.
Manuel Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Agbonglahor would probably have thrived under Saints. Could still even DAJFU?
Saint_clark Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Monday night football hasn't spoken about Villa V Saints once so far.
SNSUN Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Agbonglahor would probably have thrived under Saints. Could still even DAJFU? I used to think he was a good player but reading the Villa forums I don't think they rate him. Too hit and miss.
saintbob40 Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Surprised Koeman has risked Morgan both in terms of injury and four yellows. Especially v a very weak Villa.
jawillwill Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Just had an early evening nap and dreamt Cleverly scores a hat-trick.
