So it’s Thursday already, we have a game in two days, and we have no match thread. Or we didn’t, until this very thing you’re reading sprang into existence.
Everton at their place. Not the happiest of hunting grounds for us Saints, and certainly not a great place to watch a game of football (some parts of the ground are like a fucking WW2 air raid shelter for shortarses :D) if you’re visiting.
This could be a rare moment to turn them over while they’re in a bit of turmoil. Everton fans aren’t liking Martinez a whole lot. They’re rumbling on Twitter about whether they should have a white hanky protest at Goodison this weekend.
Can Saints break the hoodoo, or at least convince it to fuck off to the Wirral for an afternoon?
We always lose when Smithy, myself & Eric are in the Pub. We have to go to the pub because one of our founding members Sarah is coming back for the game.
Everton mate of mine reckons that they are shit at the moment. Martinez has lost the players’ confidence. Reckons that there could well be a toxic atmosphere on Saturday*.
Don’t normally do predictions, but given that my Twitter feed has had some Evertonians with some doom-laden predictions about their team, I’m going for a Saints victory with a big winning margin, say 3.

Aye, travelled over from Leeds with an Everton supporting mate when I lived up there. It really is a shite hole.
Was hungover as fuck, and it was a dire, drab 0-0 with Spuds. Not a great memory that one.
Only time I’ve ever been to 'Pool n all. Which, doesn’t really count.
As for the game, we should win this. Martinez seems to be proving his doubters right. Fear he may struggle to hold onto his job, unless he wins the cup. That squad is easily good enough to be challenging for top 4/6. The fact they aren’t is a pretty damning indictment of his abilities. It’d be a shame if he goes, he seems like a decent, likeable chap but he has massively under performed for 2 years now. Not many get that long.
