Palace 1-2 Saints - The Treble is Alive!

[JRM]

The strike timetable has been confirmed for the weekend now, still requesting people not to travel but does seem an option from Southampton Central , no engineering work planned now so straight up to Clapham and change. 

SWR running no trains at all from Portsmouth to London on that route. 

 

[Pamplemousse]

This should be fun...

 

Watch us play an absolute blinder when it doesn't matter.

[The Cat]

I'm going to watch Sholing instead.

[SotonianWill]

f*ck off

[Golac's Iron Gonads]

almost a bye for them, and Everton can look forward to a much needed 3 points the following week. And this is the new manager bounce, how bad are we going to be when that wears off?

[notnowcato]

Dog dirt

[saintant]

This game has zero importance in the grand scheme of things. We'll lose but it matters not a jot.

Who gives a fuck?

[Suhari]

I don't care, sadly.

Might give my toenails a trim instead.

[OttawaSaint]

I'm not watching this. 7:30am start here. I'm not putting in the effort if noone else at the club is.

It does feel fairly pointless, playing what will probably be our reserves v Palace reserves in a half empty Selhurst Park on a lunchtime ko,  we've sold over 3500 tickets though all things considered that's an excellent following. 

As bad as this will be Man City next Wednesday will be even worse. 

[Saint Garrett]

Only positive to have this game, is it gives Jones a free hit to play a back 4 and try and get something working. 

Although hopefully he’s sacked by then. 

[macca155]

I've bought a ticket, do I have to go?

What a nightmare, we're going to be dumped out of the cups and gift Everton 3 valuable points.

I shall have a glorious view of the whole bloody farce.

[Killers Knee]

Play the B team, with Selles in charge.  No interest in watching the current shower of shite play, or Mad Nate blaming a 3rd party for his shit management.

[SaintZamboni]

Big load of hairy bollocks

Selles is the new black.

[AlexLaw76]

Another masterclass of 3 CBs hoofing the ball forward to a 5ft 10 striker...

Amazing stuff

[Weston Super Saint]

Can I make a plea?

PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO ONE POST ANY LINKS TO STREAMS FOR THIS GAME!

Thanks in advance.

[Pamplemousse]

Of more interest to me will be navigating through London on Saturday morning without encountering any of the wannabe 657 crew on their day out.

[JRM]

In some ways would a draw be worse than a defeat? Imagine having to host a replay at an empty St Mary's 

[saints-cris]

The only positive of this is it's a loss that won't effect my mood, and makes Jones's position look worse in the process. 

[SambaMaverick]

[whelk]

Fucking so glad of train strike otherwise would have definitely got ticket

Absolutely zero chance I am attending any replay.

[way down south]

Palace always seem to beat us nowadays anyway so might as well not bother following the match in any way shape or form. Then check the result next morning, while crossing your fingers that it won't be another 9 nil loss. That's what I'm doing nyway.

[Saint86]

Hopefully basically no one attends, time to send that kind of message to SR. 

[Appy]

I’m going. 
 

What’s wrong with me?

There are trains running from Central to Clapham and Clapham to Thornton Heath so no excuses get down the ticket office today , book soon to avoid disappointment

I have now planned to be be washing my hair on that day otherwise nothing would stop me.

[Saint_clark]

I bet we smash them and only narrowly lose or beat Man City leading to Jones keeping his job and us losing the next league game comfortably.

Hard to tell what sort of line up Jones will pick for this, go strong to try to turn form around or whole changes give other players a go?

To be fair, it's hard to tell what sort of line up he'll pick for Prem games 🤷‍♀️

[warsash saint]

Best pub for away fans?  & I guess will they even be open for early game??

[SNSUN]

Play the youngsters. Finnigan, Morgan, Payne, Dibling, Ballard, Pearce etc... gives them experience that we'll probably need for next year and... heck... can't be much worse than the senior team. Shame Edwards is long term injured too.

Ok maybe not against Palace but I'd certainly be giving them some game time soon...

As for Palace they're beatable.... but we'd need to score a goal/s for that to happen...

Other than the undroppable Lyanco and Elyonoussi of course

[Pamplemousse]

An amusing thought about the other FA Cup game

 

Spurs fans will be singing their version of OWTS

And 9000 Pompey fans will all be booing it, not realising they're doing us a favour 

[markr27]

I reckon Elyounoussi might start.

As opposed to just putting the shirt on and ambling about for 90 minutes ?

Joking aside the last thing we need is a backlog of fixtures.

Although our interest in the League Cup will cease next week as well.

I think the Royal George is the only one - pretty good sing song at the last game

[bpsaint]

I’m hoping for a heavy loss to speed up the sacking of the clueless welsh midget. Come on you Eagles.

It's going to be mentally exhausting if we go on like that every week, wanting to lose so it gets rid of him etc. I think we need to accept that he's not going anywhere today, tomorrow, next week or next month.

Surely this is an excellent opportunity to blood in all the new signings and score some goals?

Oh.

Not if enough fans stand up and make themselves heard whilst the “brains” behind our club allow it to go to shit. We’re the ones suffering here not them.
