Pamplemousse Posted 31 March, 2016 Share Posted 31 March, 2016 Oh yeh. Directly above Leicester v Southampton it says: PAUL PREDICTS 1-2 but I didn't realise that referred to the Liverpool v Tottenham game above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lets B Avenue Posted 31 March, 2016 Share Posted 31 March, 2016 Paul Merson has predicted that we will win on Sunday Saying that, he did also predict the win against Liverpool, so maybe he knows more than he's letting on He must do, or he would be clinically dead.

kwsaint Posted 31 March, 2016 Share Posted 31 March, 2016 I would like to see Liverpool get at least a point on Saturday. Then I won't feel bad when we win on Sunday. Got a funny feeling that we will get three points on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 31 March, 2016 Share Posted 31 March, 2016 Before the internationals I had the usual optimistic outlook of the average football supporter whose team is doing OK. Now I am not so sure, so will sit on the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonb Posted 1 April, 2016 Share Posted 1 April, 2016 2-1 loss for this one - I think Leicester are the type of side we don't like playing. AKA better than us :-) In all seriousness I think we have a punchers chance, like we do in all games. However, Leicester are the best team in the league and should expect to swat aside the team in 7th place. If it is a loss for Saints I won't lose too much sleep over this one.

Lighthouse Posted 1 April, 2016 Share Posted 1 April, 2016 Not sure where he'd fit in if Austin is also back from fitness and Pelle, Tadic, Mane and Long are available.

david in sweden Posted 1 April, 2016 Share Posted 1 April, 2016 I'd start up front with Pelle and Rodriguez.......Long has played two hard games for Ireland and deserves a rest......would be good to see him as first choice change. Some combination of a start for Mane and a later subbing on for Tadic may be enough to create good chances, the real test will be to put them in the net. Leicester have looked so good all season, you'll wonder if they might get " title nerves " in their remaining games? Many a title chance has been lost between Easter and the last game, as many older fans will confirm. Result : IF we can hit top form ?...I can see us stealing all 3 points.

DT Posted 1 April, 2016 Share Posted 1 April, 2016 Won't be as upset as normal if we lose this one if it helps them win the league and Spurs not. Good to get a draw though i reckon, although can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 1 April, 2016 Share Posted 1 April, 2016 Wonder if we might go back to the 532 for this one as they play twp up front. Mane and Pelle up front if Long misses out and Austin and possibly Jay on the bench. Would probably bench Clasie for this one as he has had a dip in form the last few weeks.

VectisSaint Posted 1 April, 2016 Share Posted 1 April, 2016 Forster had a patella tendon injury but like any severity can vary. Koeman nor Martin O'Neill have seemed overly concerned so probably a minor one. He wouldn't have carried on playing during the week if it had been serious. He is only a doubt for Sunday, Koeman hinted that he might still have a chance of playing, but wouldn't know until Sunday. If there were 24 training today (includes 4 keepers) and Long wasn't that means Gardos is available, as well as Austin and JRod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom28 Posted 2 April, 2016 Share Posted 2 April, 2016 Lots of optimism on here, with predictions of wins and draws. Depends which Saints side turn up - we seem to be either really good or really bad lately; and even managed both in the Liverpool game. Would be great to win but I just can't see it, especially with Long out. Pelle against Huth and Morgan is what Leicester would prefer.

Shroppie Posted 2 April, 2016 Share Posted 2 April, 2016 Will be interesting to see if Cedric starts. Some have a theory that he'll cost us extra if he plays again this season.

The summer just gone was saved from being a disaster by VvD we really need to be miles better in the market this time round. we need to sign players who are good enough to start from the off or only need a couple of games to get up to speed. not a whole season Edited 2 April, 2016 by Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 2 April, 2016 Share Posted 2 April, 2016 I do wonder if Martina is seen as the longer term prospect, but wouldn't agree? long term?...well he cost just £1 million, was only signed for 2 years? So it isn't a deal that would break the bank - even if he doesn't plays regularly. Just because he's that age (25) and cost a low transfer fee, it doesn't follow that he's "sub-standard" to others in the squad. If he succeeds, we can extend his contract. With his background every Prem. game must seem like a bonus, and whilst I agree he doesn't look like an orthodox Prem. full back, I think he's worth his place. I am just as keen to see Cedric play, but as long as Martina doesn't make "Yoshida-type" errors, that cost goals - there's no reason to drop him. Cedric is still (comparatively) young and - in time - will become a better player ...... (wish I could think the same about £5 million Juanmi) Of course everyone will be looking for Martina to score another "Arsenal-wonder goal" but it may never happen, but I think he's learning fast and deserves a chance. I like his style /personality makes a pleasant change from some of the other Prem. " robotic " wing backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
