Norwich V Saints FA cup 3rd round Build up & Match Thread

Southampton Football Club
1

New rules for a New Year.

Keep doing the Matchday thread until you win one.

I could be here a long time.

Norwich 3-0 winners against an inform Derby team last time out will be looking to put a couple past a Saints team who have not one since last year.

But in spite of the above I am going for a 2-1 Saints win as I just cannot get my head around predicting some other team to beat us.

Iā€™m looking forward to seeing Redmond all fired up, heā€™s going to be looking to build on his recent brilliant form for us and show his old team what theyā€™re missing.

I hope they donā€™t wave the money at us, thatā€™s just rude.

I donā€™t know what the result will be but I can guarantee it will be dull.

It will be so dull, Claude will sound interesting at the end of it.

Je nā€™ai pas une idĆ©e de la faƧon dont nous jouerons ou de ce que sera le score. Cependant, je prĆ©dis que nous aurons beaucoup de possession avec peu de chances de coupe claire.

Un turgide 1-0 aux Saints avec J-Rod netting un brillant 40m frapper dans le coin supƩrieur.

Twitter advertisers are eagerly awaiting the final whistle in this game. Their sales teams have been pumping out targetted adverts for Colostomy Pants and giant foam hands by the thousand for when we lose this game.

We need (desperately need) something to build on, as 4 days later, Liverpool roll into town!

This may be the problem

Long says to Puel

Iā€™m going to put it in the old onion bag mate"

Puel drops long for being a racist git therefore Saints have no goals

The Echo donā€™t quote a source or justify their comments so itā€™s probably a fear mongering guess. This would not be my approach to this game.

Or the players have said fuck you we are not playing for you and its only the youth team that he can select from

NB fixed your link Simon.

Good to see the goals from the 1994 league match at Carrow Road floating around today. Easily one of my top 3 games I have ever attended

I do find that story without substance!

One thing, if I may, they bang on about the ā€œdemoralisingā€ losing streak and how it will affect confidence if we lose a fourth straight, if we play our kids and they lose that wonā€™t affect the ā€œseniorā€ players yet if we play the ā€œseniorā€ players and they lose they will be more demoralised!

I think the Echo have picked up on the fans angst about the ā€œrotationā€ policy and are trying to stir some shit, IMHO!!

After three games in six days and a massive game coming up itā€™s pretty obvious he is going to rest players.

Whatā€™s more important, Premier League points and a semi final, or an FA Cup tie at Norwich?

As one infamous poster keeps saying, rotate, Claude, rotate.
