League Cup Final Build Up Thread

[St Chalet]

Classie not as bad as everyone makes out, suspect JWP will get the nod though. He's been the most favoured of those 3 and the set pieces will be important.

[fez]

Three selection questions for Puel as I see it:

 

Caceres or Stephens?

JWP, PEH or Classie alongside Romeu and Davis?

Boufal or Redmond?

 

Caceres

JWP

Redmond (Boufal on the bench - not quite fit enough to start)

Forster

Cedric

CB

Yoshida

 

Romeu

Davis

CM

 

LW

Gabbiadini

Tadic

 

 

 

Reckon we will need to put 11 out to win this one.

[Bermuda Saint]

Good Luck SFC!! give them Manchurians a good go!! great to be at the EPL final, now bring home the silver ware!!! March on Saints Army!! oh and SING, support us throughout the game, sing because we are there, show no nerves, Sing even if we are getting beat, have another pint or two and just SING, today will be a good day win or loose!!

[5string]

Commentary team on Sky: Martin Tyler and..... Gary Neville.

 

That'll be balanced and fair, then.

Ah yeah, stick Bertrand in!

So what? It's not like politics. The Sky commentary won't affect the result. If we win, the Sky bias will make the victory all the more joyful

[Miffy]

The Globe in Bakers Street is Utd only. The Metrooolitan is Saints and it is rammed!

Martin Tyler started his commentating career on "Southern Soccer" on Sunday afternoons in the 70s. His first match was a game at the Dell between Saints and Sheffield Wednesday. I'm sure he will be supporting us

[petermcpete]

Where's the green man pub?

[danjosaint]

And to be fair Neville is pretty unbiased considering where he's come from, I used to dispise him but since he's been a commentator of actually kind of like him

Those god damn United fans

uniteds firm in the Sussex arms , Paddington - we only stayed for one

[Guan 2.0]

Those god damn United fans

 

One match, nothing held back, we can do this. C'mon boys.

[Jimmy_D]

There's absolutely no way that Man Utd are anywhere near as up for this as we are.

 

I'm actually feeling strangely confident going into this.

I know- for a fair few I know in my area in Kent they are calling it a tinpot trophy and how they have a Wembley trip all the time anyway- its their fourth one in less than 12 months with potentially another 2 more if they go to FA Cup Final.

 

Would love to stick it where the sun don't shine

[for_heaven's_Saint]

 

Ready to watch in Sydney ??

[Dalek2003]

Have a great day everyone. This is an occasion to just enjoy the whole day whatever the result.

 

I shall keep an eye on the score here and on the radio.

[Toomer]

Rather than sit in traffic we cut across from Bagshot to M4 straight in no hold ups.

Something cant be right with this mush, the Echo dont help giving him this attention he cleary wants

Arrived at Harrow Borough FC, there's about 100 here in the club so far. Drinks and food very reasonable, toilets awful though

[the colonel]

Looks like United have set out cards for all their end to hold up as red n white with 'MANCHESTER UNITED' spelt out but nothing for Saints end.

[Delmary]

At The Metropolitian Bar, Baker Street. Heaving with Saints fans. Happy days.

We were given the chance to have a tifo too but declined. Instead every fan has a scarf on their seat.

I knew must be a name for it, tifo.

 

Cool didn't know abut the scarfs.

 

just about to leave. I i live at London Bridge)

[Chris27687]

 

That should be illegal.

[charliemiller]

 

 

Westwood changed colours LOL .....has Turkish seen this yet

[SNSUN]

The wife must love me, knowing I'm unable to go to the game, she's made me a bacon sandwich, she's doing Roast Pork later, and is treating me to unlimited cups of coffee. I'll be watching at home but roaring hard, win or lose I want to enjoy it.

 

The downer on today is the "you might want to pop over and say goodbye to the dog" phone call I got from my mum, as the family dogs legs have gone. Let's hope that's the bad news done for the day.

 

This game offers the perfect chance for an insurance bet, but I'd love history to be made today for Saints.

[OttawaSaint]

 

That's Heisnberg I think. Check out that Utd scarf?!?!

[OttawaSaint]

It's 9:10am here in Ottawa. Just waking up and getting my Saints shirt on. Feeling very nervous.

 

Hope we can do it. Enjoying reading all the updates on here from those lucky ones going to Wembley. Definitely adds to the excitement. COYS!!!

[washsaint]

Where in Ottawa are you? Was up there on business last week and again next week.

 

Interesting place....

I actually live over the bridge in the province of Quebec. In Aylmer.

 

Did you get a chance to skate on the canal and eat a beaver tail?

[charliemiller]

Just been told kick off delayed due to accident on M3 is that correct ...delayed to 5.30

The canal was closed due to the warm temperatures.....beaver tail, really? Did go to a pub for lunch that reminded me of a Wetherspoons....all old boys supping on their pints!

[badgerx16]

Mata to start for ManU

[lickierambert]

Stephens and JWP start

[Edmonton Saint]

Bit harsh for Sims to miss out after his mazy run at Anfield, and worried about Stephens, but still have a good feeling that we can upset the odds again. Its 8.22am here in Edmonton in Canada and been up since 6am with the excitement mounting.. Come on Lads we can do this!!

[Whitey Grandad]

In our seats at last I should have brought the oxygen.

[Toadhall Saint]

Fuvk it - let's get it on!!

[farawaysaint]

Stephens vs zlatan, good luck son.

[Suhari]

Heading off the the pub to watch now.

 

To all you lucky guys who managed to get tickets, and are up there supporting the lads.........................have fun, be safe, sing for us and for Markus.

 

COYRs!

"

Manchester United make six changes from the side who beat Saint-Etienne in France on Wednesday.

David de Gea, Antonio Valencia, Marcos Rojo, Ander Herrera, Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial all come in.

Wayne Rooney is on the bench.

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Valencia, Bailly, Smalling, Rojo, Herrera, Pogba, Lingard, Mata, Martial, Ibrahimovic.

Southampton have had two weeks to rest for this game and name the same team that beat Sunderland 4-0 a fortnight ago.

Potential debutant Martin Caceres is on the bench.

Southampton XI: Forster, Soares, Yoshida, Stephens, Bertrand, Romeu, Davis, Ward-Prowse, Tadic, Redmond, Gabbiadini. "

[Avenue_Saint]

Clasie out as I suspected

[Manuel]

Team as expected. Will be a good game.

[Saint-camo]

Is sims injured or something? After his effort for goal v liverpool would've thought he'd at least make the bench.

Instead of J-Rod perhaps ?

[Secret Site Agent]

I'll be there with my lad and I'm fully expecting for us to be watching our club lift the cup.

 

I cannot wait.

At least he hasn't got a bell!!!!

Going to miss Dickie Hales drum but I bed he's borrowed one from the Choir Invisible for today's match.

[Mr X]

Looks like puel has put all his eggs in one basket, loose this & and add it with the euro & fa cup exits combined with a mediocre league place & it won't be a great season at all! Saying that this will still be a huge achievement should we win & if we play to the best of our ability we can!
