Batman Posted 14 February, 2015 Share Posted 14 February, 2015 Palace are doing well. Their wide players are staying wide when attacking. we will surely do that. But we tend to do everything via the middle, which will suit liverpool completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Posted 14 February, 2015 Share Posted 14 February, 2015 Can see us losing this one - disliking the 'Pool and everything they stand for is not enough - we've got to score goals to beat a team like them and we're not doing that. It's going to be 1-3 and a really big wake-up call...the start of the slide down to 7th? Maybe. We won't concede 3 goals with Toby and Morgan back behave.

Batman Posted 14 February, 2015 Share Posted 14 February, 2015 (edited) Man City was harder than both. i thought we played well. offered a bit up front, just missed a few...... where as against chelsea, it was a proper defensive display. they had much more of the ball than us that is for sure and few teams (if any) do that at SMS Edited 14 February, 2015 by Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrie van Kampen Posted 15 February, 2015 Share Posted 15 February, 2015 Hi Saints fans. My son (16) and I have been following the premier leage and special Southamton since Pelle and the Koeman brothers are playing and coaching the Saints. We are Dutch and visiting next weekend Southamton and we'd love to visit the important match against Liverpool. We have done everything to get tickets on a legal way for this great match, unfortunately this was not successful. Can you tell us if there are tickets sold just before the match by the St.Mary's stadium? Other tips are also welcome. When we have no tickets we will watch the game at the pub. In which pub near the stadium are the real fans watching the match. Thanks for reading and wish you all a great match.

No bus parking so every chance of scoring. Why the pessimism? Very winnable this one. The atmosphere will be rubbish from a Saints fan POV largely because our most vocal support will be spread across other parts of the ground while Pools away supporters will be grouped as one. If we score first, then we might experience some noise and passion - if they score first I suspect SMS from a Saints perspective will turn somewhat quiet...it's what happens.

simo Posted 15 February, 2015 Share Posted 15 February, 2015 We need a couple of dodgy refereeing decisions go against us in the first few minutes to get the crowd riled or a stonking tackle from Wanyama on Lallana and that should get the atmosphere going ,although I'd love to see the 3 amigos spend all match on the bench watching us beat them!

The Cat Posted 15 February, 2015 Share Posted 15 February, 2015 Hi Saints fans. My son (16) and I have been following the premier leage and special Southamton since Pelle and the Koeman brothers are playing and coaching the Saints.

In which pub near the stadium are the real fans watching the match. Thanks for reading and wish you all a great match. Adrie van Kampen adrievankampen@ziggo.nl It's very unlikely you'll get tickets now although you could try hanging around outside St Mary's an hour or so before kick off in case anyone has a spare. (I'd say the chances of getting tickets together would be nigh on impossible but you may be lucky) The nearest pubs to the ground are the Chapel Arms and the Joshua Tree. They will be full of fans before and after and I'm pretty sure both will show the game. Alternatively find a pub in town although there would probably be a mixture of fans in these as there's plenty of glory hunting locals who support Liverpool plus students who would too. Sadly Southampton doesn't have a great amount of decent pubs that show football. I'd suggest The Alexandra on Bellevue Road as one of the best. The Varsity is just up the road from The Alex and has plenty of screens. Both of these pubs are 10-15 minutes walk from St Mary's. If you have the time I'd suggest turning up to St Mary's about 4 hours before kick off to meet the players coming in. Go to the Chapel end of the ground by the car park and wait by the barriers. Even if you don't manage to get tickets you can at least get some autographs and have something to remember the day by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
