Edmonton Saint Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Didn't think I'd ever be writing that... Imagine there will be several changes from today, and would think maybe something like this Forster Martina Yoshida VVD Targett Romeu JWP Hojbjerg Tadic Long Redmond But should be a special night
farawaysaint Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Anyone know how bad Targett's knock was? Not sure I want Mcqueen in this game, (not a reflection on the lad at all).
St Chalet Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 I think it will be something like this, but with McQueen or Bertrand in for Targett.
SuperSAINT Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Anyone know how bad Targett's knock was? Not sure I want Mcqueen in this game, (not a reflection on the lad at all). Hamstring.
Pass the Dutchie Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Inter lost again today - with their good team.
rick1976.4.38 Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 inter were dire against calgiri today with their strongest squad,lost 2-1 their captain[incardi] is getting abuse for slagging inter fans in his autobiography so considering they will have a weakened team could be a great chance for us to turn them over at the san siro,and I personally think we can. cant wait to be there on Thursday all flag owners make sure you bring as plenty of places to hang them and be good to see the away end covered with them
Matthew Le God Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Possibly something minor as he didn't go down the tunnel, but Redmond had a pack of ice on an injury when he sat on the bench after coming off.
nta786 Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Inter fans call Mauro Icardi 'a vile piece of s***' http://dailym.ai/2e61aYP Lol
Baird of the land Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 It'll be very interesting to see who plays in both fullback positions for us midweek.
Batman Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 It'll be very interesting to see who plays in both fullback positions for us midweek. I think there is no option but Martina and McQueen

Sour Mash Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Inter fans call Mauro Icardi 'a vile piece of s***' http://dailym.ai/2e61aYP Lol They've turned up at his house this eve ha. Can go either way stuff like that over in Italy.
marc_saint Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 They've turned up at his house this eve ha. Can go either way stuff like that over in Italy. He also missed a penalty today for them aswell. It'll be interesting if he plays on Thursday. (He's come on a sub in both the previous games)
Pamplemousse Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Icardi was the one who went off with Maxi Lopez's wife and then got the name of their three kids tattooed on his arm. The Inter Milan fans I've been conversing with think that we'll absolutely destroy them.
marc_saint Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Home kit confirmed for Thursday. A sea of Red and White on the Curva Sud!
Saint_clark Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Rain forecast till about 2pm on thursday.
S-Clarke Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Didn't Roma fans graffiti outside Osvaldo's pad or something? (Although to be fair, who can blame them)
CumbrianSaint Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 This is one of the biggest moments in our history its going to be an amazing night
Sour Mash Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 This is one of the biggest moments in our history its going to be an amazing night See, I don't see that personally. Good night and occasion, but we've had far bigger moments of history, even in recent times.
Suhari Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Mental thread title. Absolute madness. Yep. Doesn't seem so long ago we were grabbing a last minute draw at MK.
Dr. Kucho Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Forster Martina Yoshida VVD Targett Romeu JWP Hojbjerg Tadic Long Redmond Think Fonte should be given the opportunity to captain the team away at the San Siro, he has been with us for so long. Forster Martina - yoshida- Fonte- McQueen Romeu Davis - Hoijbjerg Tadic Redmond - Jrod Austin and VvD to be rested and on the bench
5string Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 I've only just found out Frank de Boer is Inter's manager, having been one of our targets (allegedly) in the summer. Would be great to prove a point to him and, I suppose, add credibility to us (and the board) for the decision to go with Puel and not pursue de Boer too vehemently.
Sour Mash Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Do we need to rest that many players? I appreciate players can't always play 3 games a week, week in, week out, but shouldn't be a problem occasionally.
Pamplemousse Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 On the UEFA website, it seems as if Inter are playing 'miserly' Southampton. Odd way to describe us. http://www.uefa.com//uefaeuropaleague/season=2017/matches/round=2000792/match=2019447/prematch/background/index.html#inter+southampton+facts
Cartman Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 I've only just found out Frank de Boer is Inter's manager, having been one of our targets (allegedly) in the summer. Would be great to prove a point to him and, I suppose, add credibility to us (and the board) for the decision to go with Puel and not pursue de Boer too vehemently. We rejected him because he had no experience outside of Ajax making it difficult for us to determine what sort of coach he is, Ajax being a club with it's own identity when it comes to style of play. In any case he wasn't particularly impressive at Ajax, abysmal record in european competitions, Inter fans don't seem to impressed either. Another Van Gaal with possession of the ball an end in itself.
Andy Durman Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Sam McQueen deserves to start. Rest Bertrand for Sunday
tedmaul Posted 16 October, 2016 Posted 16 October, 2016 Sam McQueen deserves to start. Rest Bertrand for Sunday Sams's the only left back ... left back I reckon.
nta786 Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 Forster Martina Fonte Yoshida Mcqueen Højbjerg Clasie JWP Tadic Long Jay-Rod I'd like to play this, and yes I know Romeu is probably our best player in form atm, but I want to rest Romeu for the Manchester City game. Also Boufal maybe can make a debut at the San Siro- who knows.
Jonnyboy Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 See, I don't see that personally. Good night and occasion, but we've had far bigger moments of history, even in recent times. Recently such as?

S-Clarke Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 Inter Milan fans feeling nervous about playing us and that we're going to drill them a new one. Have i woken up in a different universe or something?
Colinjb Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 Inter Milan fans feeling nervous about playing us and that we're going to drill them a new one. Have i woken up in a different universe or something? It's madness isn't it! Will be heading to Milan with no expectations either way, just want to make the most of this. Always wanted to see Saints away in Europe, and always wanted to see a game at the San Siro/Guiseppe Meazza. Never in my wildest dreams would I have considered those two being one and the same.
saint lard Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 This is just the type of fixture Ive yearned for an age. They aren't the Inter of old....but to me it would be huge to come away with even a draw. Look where we were only a few years ago. We could almost knock them out,couldn't we?

mrfahaji Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 Recently such as? I guess it depends on the definition. In terms of an occasion, and something that will live long in fans' memories, a trip to the San Siro must be hard to beat. But equally I imagine the Coventry 2012 promotion day, or the Everton 99 great escape day will also live long in people's memories and arguably (ok, not even arguably) more important.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 (edited) I honestly think we should play our strongest team and go for an historic win which should see us qualify. We can then go to City expecting to lose but so what, a defeat there is nothing new and will be forgotten by the following game. Edited 17 October, 2016 by Fitzhugh Fella
SaintBitterne Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 See, I don't see that personally. Good night and occasion, but we've had far bigger moments of history, even in recent times. This epitomises for me everything that we went through is for nights like this .8000 saints fans travelling to see us play inter Milan competitively is nothing short of iconic
Saint Garrett Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 Forster Martina Fonte VVD Bertrand/Targett/McQueen Romeu Hojbjerg Davis Tadic Redmond Austin
farawaysaint Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 How many are we taking? 11 plus the bench.
SKD Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 How many are we taking? About 7,000 I think I saw somewhere
Colinjb Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 Boufal to score the winner on his debut at the San Siro? Anyone?
benjii Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 See, I don't see that personally. Good night and occasion, but we've had far bigger moments of history, even in recent times. Indeed. The JPT semi-final and finals were bigger matches than this. A lot of people are just a bit over-excited, really.
sandwichsaint Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 Recently such as? Come on, when their Ultras start giving it I'm really looking forward to us snapping back with 'Johnstone's Paint Trophy, you'll never win that'.
Mattio Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 Indeed. The JPT semi-final and finals were bigger matches than this. A lot of people are just a bit over-excited, really. We're playing Inter Milan at the San Siro, it's a huge milestone even if they aren't the size of team that they used to be.
tajjuk Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 Indeed. The JPT semi-final and finals were bigger matches than this. A lot of people are just a bit over-excited, really. Disagree, in 2009-10 season we were playing in League One (third tier football) with -10 points having nearly gone out of business. Whereas Inter in 2009-10 were winning the League, cup and Champions League treble under Jose Mourinho. Now, do you think anyone in football, in 2010, would have done anything other than laugh at you, if you had said in just 6 years that Southampton would be going to the San Siro for a competitive game against Inter and had a realistic chance of winning that game? it's huge whatever way you look at it.
View From The Top Posted 17 October, 2016 Posted 17 October, 2016 Indeed. The JPT semi-final and finals were bigger matches than this. A lot of people are just a bit over-excited, really. Carlisle in a mickey mouse cup or Inter Milan at the San Siro in European competition? Milan is just sooooo much bigger.
