Perfect opportunity for Boufal to get a start, I reckon
Sorry I’m out for this game…exhausted after watching the last two games on TV.
Gardos not ready yet will VVD get a night off?
Reed & Hesketh not in U21s tonight nor Stephen’s
Will Cuco & McQueen have any gas in the tank?
Also didn’t advertise the game being on tv down here
Will be interesting our boys gave everything in last two games yet this is a chance of another Europe tour next year
Phil, saw somewhere today (the darkside mebbe) that Bein are screening the game on one of their channels. Don’t know if that’s any use to you.
I think we’ll see Yoshi, Stephens and Reed for VVW, Fonte and Oriel tomorrow.
Yeah it did show on the web site but on Sunday when they listed what they were showing & previewed them they only listed the 2 matches.
Will see, it’s the last midweek game for some time as with work a 2am finish is a bit of an issue these days!
Its a 2:45am start for me so a nights kip in, then watch the football and ready for work at 05:20 am completly bollocked by 18:00 when we finish.
Starts for McCarthy, Boufal, Hesketh, Reed, J-Rod, Yoshida - surely?
Going to be odd watching from the Itchen tomorrow night…
Hesketh injured unfortunatly
Puel was saying that Boufal struggled to manage 20 mins on Sunday so I ain’t sure he will start. It was in article I read earlier.

Steveinthewoodland - Is this the official Match thread? Papsweb has very stricht rules on Match Thread starting - easy to get sacked if you fuck it up and we lose. Be warned, the papsweb gliterati will unleash hell upon you should the match now be compromised… many have tried to hold onto the role, only to be cast aside at the first hint of a conceded corner…
Brave decision or foolhardy?
Seems sensible, if we’re banging in the goals 1st half maybe he’ll get a solid 45 under his belt. Totally non-related but a nice little article linked to from the above;
Thing is, it’s only the League Cup. Consider it a perfect opportunity to rest the forum cronies … sorry I mean stalwarts … and give the rookies a taste of the giddy world of the Papsweb elite.
If I fuck up and it goes tits up, it’ll be unfortunate but no ones expecting me to be the finished article anyway. It’ll be a case of still work in progress but worthwhile anyway for the first team experience I’ll have under my belt.
Also remember that we’ve been losing to Sunderland in the cup since long before I came on the scene

Tsk, Chutters, I’m surprised you had to ask. Most football forums do several threads per game. Build up, match, aftermath - plus all the threads that spawn decrying the scapegoats du jour.
We do two threads here. The match thread and the beer thread. This is not the beer thread. I know this because it’s not the poorly attended pit the beer thread presently is. By a simple process of applying Sotonians rules and deduction, if this is not the beer thread, it _MUST _be the match thread.
You’ll fucking love it, my old son.
And on the off chance that you don’t, someone will scream in your ear until you do. Guaranteed.
We’re not at *that* end of the Itchen old boy, I’d never sink that low.
You don’t know what you’re missing. It’s like Thunderdome on a good day.
Bein Sports 12 apparently Phil
Apparently NOT on TV tonight BeIn are now listing Napoli v Empoli. I still have a hangover & will be lucky to make it to team announcement time let alone kick off but it has caused heartbreak for our regular Ale Quaffers down Barasti.
Do they blow the weekly beer token budget tonight with the risk of watching Italian Soccer or save them for Harvest Beer Festival & after party with DJ Jazzy Jeff tomorrow night…
(Bad news is that the game seems to have disappeared from ALL global listings) Register for the OS time then if you are still awake
Strange … Sportsmania are streaming it according to their website and sources are listed as Game Zone 3/Bein Sports 12.
Oh well, we’ll know soon enough
