    Come and join me then. We can sit and do both together. Mind you I can't sing and you had better bring a nose peg as I fart a lot.

    Are you trying to empty the stadium with your flatulence, Godders?

    No. But it annoys the hell out of the blokes who sit behind me and moan, and moan, and moan and moan ad infinitum usually about Pelle.

    Good for you. I would play two up front. Are Saints playing too conservatively these days with the preference to avoid defeat first by playing two DMs?

    No, they're not. Let's have a look at the first two games this season, we played with two CDMs and 4 attacking players. It was too attacking. It's on the last two games we've gone with 3 CBs and then full backs with midfielders.

    Thanks FLT. So after today, 2 weeks of freedom from the football. No need to get stressed for a fortnight and isn't that wonderful. Enjoy the break folks. I know there are the internationals but I do not watch these as the games all round Europe are deadly dull.

    Wouldn't it be dull if we won every game by a hatful, never conceded, never sold any players and could buy anyone we wanted - I pity those Man City fans, itching for a moan (aka a fair and honest assessment of our current position, and the likely way forward)

    I would like to see a tradition 4-4-2

    The stek
    Cedric fonte caulker target
    Juanmi Davis Romeu Tadic
    Mane long

    I know it's rather attacking

    Or we could put Proswey on the right wing. To add a bit extra to midfield.

    While Norwich have not set the world alight (as the OP stated), they have played well in all 3 games.
    Undone by some mental referring decisions in the Palace game
    Dominated Sunderland (as most seem to these days)
    Denied a comfortable win against Stoke by some truly inspirational goalkeeping from Butland

    If they play with the same spirit, the game today should be well worth watching, even for the neutral.

    According to some people on Twitter, Wanyama isn't in the match day squad today, whether that's due to illness or otherwise. If so, I'd go for:
    Stekelenburg
    Cedric Fonte Yoshida Targett
    Romeu Reed
    Tadic Davis Mane
    Pelle

    And that's what we should be hoping for. A bit less hoofing from us and an entertaining match.

    A win for Saints would be nice as well.

    I would agree, I think Norwich will be very content with their start and optimistic about today's game bearing in mind your away record.

    Indeed. This will (or should be) the hardest test to date for Alex Neil and that brilliant away record. Naturally I hope it continues, and I think we can win today, but I am not confident enough to place a bet on the outcome.

    I am sensing a rather big wave of pessimism on here, really odd after the last half decade.

    Betfair's implied chances

    48% Saints win
    24% Norwich win
    28% Draw

    Sounds right to me.
