They will break up our rhythm which will cause us to hurry passes. We will start goofing the ball to our 4 feet tall midfielders who will get flattened by a bunch of steroid munching monsters.
Redmond will not run at defenders Tadic will look to play Hollywood balls not the simple ones.
Luckily because Stoke don’ have the pace of Liverpool it will be a turgid 0-0 At HT not game over like Bindippers
2nd half they will go route 1 we will concede the winner from their only shot at goal.
The fans will be in the pub 1 minute before the game ends.
OR Sims could start with Gabbi Romeu & Redmond dropped and we will win 2-1
Whatever happens will be a positive lesson to take forwards
We’ll win this one easy and everyone will wonder what all the fuss has been about. We will concede of course, probably a goal from Shakira-Shakira. 3-1 Saints!
We are going to get dicked 0-1 by Stoke, they will score in the 89th minute after putting on a 10 man defensive display. Saints will have 75% posession and have 2 shots on target.
In years to come, when people visit Mustwinton and go to the Sixpointer Museum in the town square, the one next to the traffic camera where the only correct result has to be three points, if they ask the museum curator Mustapha Victory what he judges to be the greatest ever example of the museum’s genre, his eyes will light up.
He will take them to the basement of the museum, past the old dusty sofas and the stacked chairs, and there at the bottom of a table, he will uncover the old safe.
As the big rusting door creaks open, Mustapha will step aside and proudly point to a fluffy triangular cushion within.
He will then point again, because sometimes one point is just not good enough.
And embroidered atop this splendid gold-frilled but worryingly uncomfortable, three-pointed cushion, will be the simple words Southampton v Stoke City.
I am feeling surprisingly chipper about this game. I fancy a 2-0 win but a dour game. I think the bitter winds from Siberia might have effected my brain cells but what the hell.
Blimey. According to talkCrap we would be 10th if all games finished at half time. Perhaps that is where MP is going wrong? Plan for another 45 mins Mauricio!
