View From The Top Posted 16 December, 2016 Share Posted 16 December, 2016 we were shyte there last season be nice to turn up this time That's just what we've been saying. We were utter appalling there last season, even worse than Norwich and WBA away, which were dire, dire, dire. I quite fancy us to win the "We don't care about you" derby as them coming on to us may give us space to exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shance Posted 16 December, 2016 Share Posted 16 December, 2016 Why do Saints make some lovely third kits but then not sell them? I'd buy that white one for my little boy for Christmas and would consider getting one myself. Just going to have to hope that the saints foundation can get hold of a few then.

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 17 December, 2016 Share Posted 17 December, 2016 Hopefully Jrod won't make it hat-trick of putting the ball over from a yard out. Our best bet will probably be on the counter attack as I can see them pressing us high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scallysaint Posted 17 December, 2016 Share Posted 17 December, 2016 I appreciate its not "the south coast Derby" but I can remember going down there to help raise funds when they were in trouble. The acted like total bell whiffs and I can't stand their attitude. Also pretending they are a derby also annoys the skates so it's a win win.

Golden Balls Posted 17 December, 2016 Share Posted 17 December, 2016 Got chatting to a fairly open and honest Bournemouth fan yesterday. He admitted they want it to become a fierce Derby as they don't have one. He's in his 30s and said he can't really brings himself to hate Saints as deep down he doesn't. But the newer generation of their fans coming through are hellbent on making it a Derby, calling us scummers, singing songs about us and even wanting a bit of trouble. Annoyingly this will probably only grow as time goes on. Well, for as long as we're in the same division. Our younger lot won't remember a Pompey game and maybe turn to Bournemouth to get their fix. Wasn't there a survey last year about most hated and liked teams by each club. Our most liked was Bournemouth. Their most hated was us. Says it all.

Dellman Posted 17 December, 2016 Share Posted 17 December, 2016 I'm Saints through and through ever since the war but have become an admirer of Bournemouth They play proper football and they have confounded the rich clubs, nothing to hate about them. My bitterness is reserved for Liverpool and Spurs now Pompey are off the map. I wish there was a real spirit of mutual goodwill and support, except tomorrow of course.

5string Posted 17 December, 2016 Share Posted 17 December, 2016 My preferred starting team: -------------Forster-------------- Cedric---Fonte---VvD---Bertrand --------------Clasie--------------- -----Hojbjerg------Davis--------- --------------Boufal-------------- --------JRod-------Long--------- Subs: Yoshi, McQueen, Reed, Redmond, Tadic, JWP, Sims, Olomola May seem strange starting with both JRod & Long, but goals have to come. Hoj & Boufal both attacking style, with Davis & Clasie holding it together. If this starts, I'd hope it would stretch B'mouth, open up the game, which benefits us I reckon.

I'd buy that white one for my little boy for Christmas and would consider getting one myself. Just going to have to hope that the saints foundation can get hold of a few then. I don't know all the in's and out's of all the politics but reportedly a third kit is a requirement of the Premier League Rules. Saints didn't have one this season and the PL told ruled they had to do it, so the upshot of all this is that Saints have reluctantly issued a third kit to abide by the PL ruling. They have no intention of selling it to the public, obviously it is a very simple design that has been cobbled together quickly on the back of an envelope and produced in a very small batch. Presumably they will use it once tomorrow also reluctantly to comply with the PL ruling and never to be seen again. All very strange. Never say never, aye?

You are mostly right but doubt we'd start with two front runners and JRod probably will have to sit this one out as he has played a lot in the last two games. Expect --------------Forster-------------- Cedric---Fonte---VvD---Bertrand --------------Clasie--------------- -----Hojbjerg------Davis--------- ----Tadic-----Long-----Boufal---- Just possible Reed will play instead of Hojberg with Clasie at RDMF rather than the holding position in front of the two CDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk When I was growing up in the 90s we only played them once in about 15-16 years. I knew I was supposed to hate Pompey but in reality I didn't. They didn't matter to me. That mirror link isn't the one I'm thinking of but seems very similar. There was a table and each club had the PL team they disliked the most and liked the most. Then there was an overall result of most liked to hated. Bournemouth were most liked, we were 2nd and Bournemouth were our most liked. Spurs were our most disliked.

5string Posted 17 December, 2016 Share Posted 17 December, 2016 I'd rather see Hojberg or Reed at DM than Clasie, who has always looked better playing further forward. Hmm, I did wonder if Reed would be better than Clasie in this game. I put Clasie in as his confidence is up at the moment. It's a 50:50 thing - don't mind either really. I prefer Hoj further forward - I like how he attacks. We need sparky play like he provides. It's also hard to leave Tadic out, though Charlie Wayman (post 123) has a more probable line up with Tadic in for JRod. It would be nice to see a risk or two being taken - we attacked/pressed really well against Everton, as has already been mentioned somewhere, and I'd like to see that again.

Verbal Kint Posted 17 December, 2016 Share Posted 17 December, 2016 Why do Stoke dislike us so much? Because they have a massive chip on their shoulder. Still very bitter that after getting promoted they spent fortunes under Pulis and finished midtable playing dire football (they hate that everyone thought that about them) whereas we got promoted and went past them in the space of a couple of seasons whilst balancing the books and, in the eyes of others, playing attractive football. And because Jack Cork dived once and no Stoke player has ever dived of course. Ever They're generally bitter towards everyone. Arsenal, United, Us (it was Swansea before us), they just hate everyone for some reason or other.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 18 December, 2016 Share Posted 18 December, 2016 I'm more than a tad worried frankly that we are going to struggle again here - they beat us in this fixture last season and have improved markedly since. We on the other hand have stagnated at best. So - logically - we may be set for a bit of a hammering then. But, as any fool knows, the game of football is seldom a exercise in logic so put your money on the Saints to win 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 18 December, 2016 Share Posted 18 December, 2016 Amazing looking at the table that if we win today we could be in 7th tonight which would be a bit of a head scratcher considering our patchy form. Mind you top six finish is going to be bloody hard this season as the big boys are all doing better than last season and are already 6pts clear of 7th even if we win.
