Saints1fan Posted 22 February, 2017 Share Posted 22 February, 2017 Apologies, I'm a newbie. My son and I are spending the weekend in London and will be heading to Borough Market on Sunday then, probably to Wembley about 1.00'ish. Can anyone advise on whether Saints fans are advised to head for a particular tube station at Wembley? Also, I saw in the Echo that Saints have been allocated the Events Pad? Where exactly is this? Can't wait for Sunday!! Saints cup final with my boy. One off the bucket list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Posted 22 February, 2017 Share Posted 22 February, 2017 Carrick and Mkhitarian out is very possible and very good news. But they have plenty else... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKD Posted 22 February, 2017 Share Posted 22 February, 2017 Romeu is class you plum For us yes, but he's not good enough for united or any other top 4/6 team though. Romeu has done very very well for us this year but he is being massively overrated. Some have even said he's better than wanyama Romeu has found his level with us imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 22 February, 2017 Share Posted 22 February, 2017 I've got a strong suspicion that I'll down a pint or two before the game. Think I'll try to get on that one before the bookies catch on. You could do the reverse bet and then not have any.. Either way, as soon as such a bet exists you're going to disappoint someone and be had up by the FA, expecially if your name isn't Barton. Perhaps a sweepstake as to how many you'll have throughout the day might be an idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintwbu Posted 23 February, 2017 Share Posted 23 February, 2017 Think Carrick's return to the side has coincided with their fantastic form, if i remember rightly. Him being out is definitely a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 23 February, 2017 Share Posted 23 February, 2017 Zlatan plays 90 minutes. Must be good for us, he's 35 and must have a slower recovery Super fit or not, I am scratching my head why he even played 1 minute. Not that I'm complaining.

Sweepstake would be good, but the problem is, and especially if we win, neither I nor anyone with me will be capable of any complicated numerical operation (like counting) by the end of the day. ?

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 23 February, 2017 Share Posted 23 February, 2017 (edited) Because he plays for saints. If he was at any other club you wouldn't. You're the sort of person who thinks Martina has enough to do a job at a CL team, just because he plays for us. I have an an opinion much like you mush and I rate Romeu higher than Herrera is that clear enough for you and as for your comment re Martina, i would suggest your just being stupid for the sake of it or are angry because i dont agree with you..... Regarding what sort of person i am, your opinion is fine as long as you accept that i think you are just a gobby sort of bloke who thinks he knows it all but clearly does`nt Edited 23 February, 2017 by ALWAYS_SFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the greater gamble is. Playing a completely not match fit Caceres or the rookie Stephens. At the moment I'm leaning towards Caceres.

SNSUN Posted 23 February, 2017 Share Posted 23 February, 2017 I don't know what the greater gamble is. Playing a completely not match fit Caceres or the rookie Stephens. At the moment I'm leaning towards Caceres. I've got a horrible feeling Stephens could freeze and get completely bullied by Zlatan Funnily enough when Caceres was announced I reached that same decision, but now thinking about it I don't think Stephens would let us down. He has plenty of lower league experience and has put in a couple of good shows for Saints recently. While Stephens and Yoshida have been playing together recently, the communication might be there, which I doubt it would be with Caceres. Caceres has the pedigree though. It's a tough call. Maybe Caceres for Yoshida! ;-) I'm working at Alperton today (dealing with Gent fans going to the Spurs game), and being just up the road from Wembley I can see the arch from my platforms. Gutted I can't be there this Sunday (unless some heavenly angel has a spare ticket) but my missus has said she'll do me a full Roast Pork dinner (my favourite) to compensate. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I'm leaning towards Caceres. I've got a horrible feeling Stephens could freeze and get completely bullied by Zlatan Playing Stephens would be far more of a gamble IMO. Caceres, although he hasn't played in some time, has experience of CL, EL and massive fixtures at Barca and Juve. He's clearly a talented defender who has been unlucky with injury. If he makes a mistake, he'll get over it. If Stephens makes a mistake then it could destroy his career. Also, I would imagine Caceres has the experience and know how to deal with a player like Zlatan. Correct me if i'm wrong but would't he have played both with and against him at some point in his career in Spain and Italy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted 23 February, 2017 Share Posted 23 February, 2017 Just watched the same video. Caceres is an absolute giant. If he's even 75 per cent. fit he is the best hope we've got of containing Zlatan IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadoldgit Posted 23 February, 2017 Share Posted 23 February, 2017 Yet Stephens managed to struggle through both semi finals against Liverpool. Why should he freeze?

Might I suggest that you attend our local Ward-Prowse feeder club's game this weekend and let your attendance allow their last couple of seasons normality to return i.e. they have not seen their club win much either!
