beavis17 Posted 2 April, 2015 Posted 2 April, 2015 Martinez says Lukaku will have fitness test tomorrow. Kone fit, Gibson/Mirallas/Pienaar to be assessed. Hibbert/Oviedo out.
Redslo Posted 2 April, 2015 Posted 2 April, 2015 Oh OK. I must remember to incorporate the all important sponsors name into competition titles in future. I hope we have a good run in the Budweiser FA Cup next year. I used "BPL" because the website calls itself the official website of the Barclay's Premier League. Normally I call the league the Premier League. I actually considered which to use in this post and then decided to got with BPL just to see if there were be a response to that choice of nomenclature. Budweiser is not becoming the sponsor of the FA cup. They are just the official beer of the FA Cup which is sillier but, I suppose, less offensive. http://www.thefa.com/news/the-fa-cup/2015/mar/budweiser-fa-cup-official-beer
Bearsy Posted 2 April, 2015 Posted 2 April, 2015 Erm in point of fact, this year the FA Cup Final is sponsored by Gerrard's Fucking Birthday

It won't be long until fans are asking each other who their official sanitary pad partners are. Anyway, back to the Everton game. It will be 0-0.
trousers Posted 2 April, 2015 Posted 2 April, 2015 Steven Davis confirmed as doubtful, but not totally ruled out....Koeman: "he has a groan problem" (cue confusion from the lady journo! )
Lighthouse Posted 2 April, 2015 Posted 2 April, 2015 As I understood it, J Rod is back in training and may be available in 4 or 5 weeks.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 2 April, 2015 Posted 2 April, 2015 As I understood it, J Rod is back in training and may be available in 4 or 5 weeks. He's gonna score the winner at City to take us to the Champion's league!
davefizzy14 Posted 2 April, 2015 Posted 2 April, 2015 Can someone please post the key points from Koeman's press conference as the video wont work at this moment in time on my phone. Thanks.
Leicestersaint Posted 2 April, 2015 Posted 2 April, 2015 As I understood it, J Rod is back in training and may be available in 4 or 5 weeks. I hope so but we seem to have been hearing this for some time.
Lighthouse Posted 2 April, 2015 Posted 2 April, 2015 I hope so but we seem to have been hearing this for some time. Usually from some bullsh*t wannabe journalist on twitter. This is the first time I've heard it from the mond paard
Turkish Posted 2 April, 2015 Posted 2 April, 2015 Usually from some bullsh*t wannabe journalist on twitter. This is the first time I've heard it from the mond paard Don't talk about St Armstrong like that.
ericofarabia Posted 2 April, 2015 Posted 2 April, 2015 Everton. Always a club that get the DEF pulses racing. As a nipper remember seeing footage of the saints army on the pitch at Highbury in 84 chasing them all over the pitch. Folklore goes that in the 80s along with boro and Man U, saints notorious ugly crew were the only mob to take it to Everton on their own manor. However, truth be told when it comes to the blue half of Merseyside it was always one way as they rarely traveled to the south coast, no doubt in fear of the baying, snarling resentment that would await them should a toffee fancy getting chewed up and spat out in an SO postcode. So as usual it was down to the DEF to take it to them should we want any serious action. And take it to them we did, it was a warm autumn morning in 02 when the DEF decided to flex our notoriously large hooligan muscles on Gladys Street. I got up early, slipped on my stone island jumper and immediately felt a force field of invincible ness envelope me. After a protein overload of a bargain bucket of KFC We arrived on mass at lime street and to slip the OB split up in to two mobs, one of two and one of sixty eight. we arrived at the agreed meeting place an hour later, no escort from plod and 70 of Europes naughtiest firm all set for action. This was before the days of Facebook when if you really wanted to let the opposition firm you were on their manor you needed to do more than stick a few photos on the causal state of mind group and you had to actually sing a few songs and wait for the old bill to pick you up. Anyway, after at least 5 minutes waiting for the old bill to arrive a few of our gamer lads decided to have a wonder round and see if we could find what we have come for. We walked towards the ground and before you could say 'Adrian Heath 119 minutes' we were fronted by some proper nasty looking geezers who obviously fancies their chances, all of a sudden it's gone off, i looked around and there's only four of us, we're heavily out numbered, but we couldn't back down down, it goes off, weight of numbers pushing us back, but we're giving as good as we get, left hook after right hook after left hook, at one point a few of the Everton firm nearly fell out of their wheel chairs such was their aggression towards the DEF. We were probably just about getting the upperhand when a few busy bodies jump into to break up the toe to toe, the Everton lads wheel away and the DEF turn round and the realisation of what we had achieved became apparent. We were right outside the disabled stand at Goodison! Unlike Pompeys failed attempt at Coventry weeks earlier we had actually taken the disabled end at a football ground. Against all the odds, heavily out numbered and outgunned the DEF had added another chapter into their book of notoriety. We immediately found an Internet cafe to post on terracelinks about what we had done, forget the football, who gives a f*ck about the football when your firm has proven its worth, yet again, we had to let everyone online know. Okay so we missed the game, but our reputation spread across all four corners of England at the news the 4 DEF had done Everton on their own back yard. Ha Ha ... those were the days!! Seem to remember someone thought it actually happened 1st time round back in the day
Dark Munster Posted 2 April, 2015 Posted 2 April, 2015 Can someone please post the key points from Koeman's press conference as the video wont work at this moment in time on my phone. Thanks. Davis (the non-goalie) has a groan problem. The other Davis is fine.
Batman Posted 3 April, 2015 Posted 3 April, 2015 (edited) going for 2-2. Pelle, Morgan for us. Lukaku x2 for them Lee Mason is the ref. Cant remember any absolute howlers from him this season (no doubt there are some) so has to be a positive?? my team Davis Clyne Fonte Toby Bertrand Morgan Wanyama Djuricic Long Pelle Mane Gazza, Yoshida, Gardos, Reed, Tadic, Elia, JWP I cant see JWP starting instead of Djuricic...I thought reed was excellent in the reverse fixture... Edited 3 April, 2015 by Batman
Bucks Saint Posted 3 April, 2015 Posted 3 April, 2015 going for 2-2. Pelle, Morgan for us. Lukaku x2 for them Lee Mason is the ref. Cant remember any absolute howlers from him this season (no doubt there are some) so has to be a positive?? my team Davis Clyne Fonte Toby Bertrand Morgan Wanyama Djuricic Long Pelle Mane Gazza, Yoshida, Gardos, Reed, Tadic, Elia, JWP I cant see JWP starting instead of Djuricic...I thought reed was excellent in the reverse fixture... Not much wrong with that, but I have a feeling that all three of this week's international goalscorers might play, including JWP. As captain and winning scorer for the U21s his confidence must be sky high
Baird of the land Posted 3 April, 2015 Posted 3 April, 2015 I'd go for Davis, Clyne, Fonte, Toby, Bertrand, Morgan, Wanyama, JWP, Tadic, Mane, Long
Rasiak-9- Posted 3 April, 2015 Posted 3 April, 2015 Need to be smart, savvy and play a proper away game for this one. Everton's defence is utterly shocking and slow as **** to boot. For the past two seasons Palace in particular have known exactly what to do up there (winning 3-2 away both times). Sit back, play on the counter and even if you concede once or twice, you can still outgun them with far less possession if you've got pace, trickery and can distribute the ball from the back and get it wide quickly.
eelpie Posted 3 April, 2015 Posted 3 April, 2015 going for 2-2. Pelle, Morgan for us. Lukaku x2 for them Lee Mason is the ref.

Difficult to better that team. JWP off the bench to score if Dj tires So top performances fellers, please. 3-1 (Mane, Long and Pelle)
Saint_Tony Posted 3 April, 2015 Posted 3 April, 2015 Sounds like they might have a few out. If Lukaku and Mirallas aren't available, there can be no excuses for not winning this game. Everton 1-Saints 4
Yuki Posted 3 April, 2015 Posted 3 April, 2015 Reliable Connor Armstrong on Twitter says Thompson has dislocated his shoulder. Hope it's not too bad!!
Matthew Le God Posted 3 April, 2015 Posted 3 April, 2015 Reliable Connor Armstrong on Twitter says Thompson has dislocated his shoulder. Hope it's not too bad!! He is talking about a Southend United player.
pap Posted 3 April, 2015 Posted 3 April, 2015 Difficult not to like Martinez, especially when he's calling us the revelation team of the season.
hasper57saint Posted 3 April, 2015 Posted 3 April, 2015 I see the Referee tomorrow is the Liverpool educated Lee Mason.Will he be neutral? Or do us any favours.Been marked down a couple of times already.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 3 April, 2015 Posted 3 April, 2015 He is talking about a Southend United player. Yuki doesn't know beyond the top division and Maya, Japanese way innit.
Winchester Red Posted 3 April, 2015 Posted 3 April, 2015 Are there any decent streams anymore for BPL matches or are they a thing of the past?
Lets B Avenue Posted 3 April, 2015 Posted 3 April, 2015 Yuki doesn't know beyond the top division and Maya, Japanese way innit. Is that all they show in Glasgow?

Saint-Armstrong Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Preview: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/content.php?594-PREVIEW-Everton-vs-SAINTS-Barclays-Premier-League
Saint Charlie Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 I would pick: Davis Clyne, Fonte, Toby, Bertrand Wanyama, Morgan, JWP Tadic, Pelle, Mane JWP to get his first league goal.
Avenue Saint Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 I would pick: Davis Clyne, Fonte, Toby, Bertrand Wanyama, Morgan, JWP Tadic, Pelle, Mane JWP to get his first league goal. This team but djuricic instead of jwp
Coxford_lou Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 I would pick: Davis Clyne, Fonte, Toby, Bertrand Wanyama, Morgan, JWP Tadic, Pelle, Mane JWP to get his first league goal. I'm confused! Are there two Saint Charlies? Are you the same guy that's been dismissing him on the JWP thread?!
Saint Charlie Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 I'm confused! Are there two Saint Charlies? Are you the same guy that's been dismissing him on the JWP thread?! Not dismissing him. Just saying he needs to kick on to be anything like as good as people want. But without Davis and with his confidence high I would start him today. He is a good player. Nothing more (yet) and nothing less. People comparing him to Beckham and saying he will be world class etc do so with little foundation apart from the fact he is a nice lad and speaks well in his numerous interviews. He can do another one after scoring his first free kick for Saints today. If he scores some others then he can start saying he is a free kick specialist...
Coxford_lou Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Not dismissing him. Just saying he needs to kick on to be anything like as good as people want. But without Davis and with his confidence high I would start him today. He is a good player. Nothing more (yet) and nothing less. You said he doesn't have a best position yet, is woeful defensively and doesn't contribute to attack. Either you're a big risk taker with your squad selection, or prone to a bit of hyperbole.
Saint Charlie Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 You said he doesn't have a best position yet, is woeful defensively and doesn't contribute to attack. Either you're a big risk taker with your squad selection, or prone to a bit of hyperbole. We have to have at least one academy player in each match squad, and his attacking play has potential to develop due to his good technique. He is abysmal defensively, but Wanyama and Morgan are there. If Wanyama gets banned in either of the next two games then it becomes harder to fit JWP in because he is very lightweight.
Matthew Le God Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 We have to have at least one academy player in each match squad. Where have you got that from?
Coxford_lou Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Where have you got that from? I suspect a bit of scrabbling around to justify his selection. We now know that he secretly really rates JWP, but just gets annoyed at others hyping him. I'm fine with that.
Redslo Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Where have you got that from? Maybe that is his analysis of an apparent club policy based upon observation.
Window Cleaner Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Might be a few goals actually, they have a reputedly poor defence and we have a questionable keeper, 4-3 Saints then.
Matthew Le God Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Maybe that is his analysis of an apparent club policy based upon observation. Using the words "have to have" makes it sound like a Premier League requirement rather than a club based optional policy.
Saint Charlie Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 It was a little joke. But clearly its good for our USP as a club to have Academy players featuring, otherwise we are no different to anyone else in that regard. Interestingly, with the prospect of losing Clyne and Jay Rod and Forster out long term we could have a lot fewer British lads in the team next season than for a while. But then English players especially get so overhyped and cost too much, especially for anyone who is good enough to play for us. Imagine as with the previous summer we will try and bring one or two British players in, always good to have a British core to the squad.
Leicestersaint Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 I would pick: Davis Clyne, Fonte, Toby, Bertrand Wanyama, Morgan, JWP Tadic, Pelle, Mane JWP to get his first league goal. This but with Long instead of Pelle. Long to score, also JWP and Pelle to come on late and score as well.
simo Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 This but with Long instead of Pelle. Long to score, also JWP and Pelle to come on late and score as well. Jwp is already on
Halo Stickman Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 JWP to get his first league goal. I've never said anything like this on here before, because, well frankly, saying things like this on here has a tendency to come back and haunt you. However, here goes: Like you, I've got a very strong feeling JWP is going to open his league scoring account today.
trousers Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Arsenal go very close v Liverpool. Very much on top in first 5 mins
James Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Not playing Mane is an unbelievable decision. Elia has been useless.
