Following on my comment yesterday, I've got a feeling that Ralph will go 3 at the back for this, rather than play Stephens at RB. In which case... Bednarek Salisu Vestergaard Minamino JWP Romeu Bertrand Armstrong Ings Redmond Or recall Adams for Redmond Or swap Minamino and Redmond
Yep, Chelsea will be wondering what on earth happened. We get a penalty, they don't, Vesty thunders one in off JWP free kick, and just to make their afternoon, Giroud has a howler against us. See that's the dream that keeps us as Saints fans, it could actually happen in the face of all recent rubbish!! Hope over experience every time.
Here's to a good old fashioned game of football and a draw would be a good result to end our dreadful run. Hopefully, come Saturday afternoon we will be discussing a great game where we all get our mojo back.
FFS Tom, why send Giroud off and have him suspended when they play or relegation rivals next week... Fecking refs can’t get anything right
I was on a flight with him end of 19 after he’d reffed a CL game in Lyon. As I walked on the plane (cock was in first class) we met eyes for a couple of seconds and he nodded as if in acknowledgement. I know it’s petty, but I just looked back with an expression of “eh?” as if I had no idea who he was. Made me feel good anyway.
Any idea how long KWP is out for? Would be nice if Ralph can give an update on when Diallo and Walcott may be back too.
Chelsea play Atletico Madrid two days after our game. Unlikely to have much impact as they have a big squad, but they'll potentially rest one or two.
Wonder what ridiculous VAR decisions will go against us this week. Seriously the first time in my whole life where I might not even bother watching us play. I said in the last match day thread, I can handle saints losing if they play badly, but to keep losing to horrific decisions I really can’t enjoy it at all.
