Saints v Spurs - Sun 21st Jan, 16:00 KO

Back to basics or…

Basics would be watching a dodgy stream from behind the sofa.

Or would be wearing my pyjamas top impression of our shirt to the pub

Each has merit the latter because we are unbeaten since I bought the shirt & wore it to the pub.

Decisions as difficult as MoPe has.

Hope I’ better at them.

1-3

Oh and ffs Saints DON’T GIVE ERIKSSEN SPACE OUTSIDE OUR BOX!

That avatar has made you very angry @areloa-grandee

I’m predicting Pellegrino’s finest hour (and 30 mins) :- his secret weapon the 'Anti-Press’™ will be released upon the unsuspecting and tactically behind the times Pochettino.

We will give them so much space and time that confusion will set in giving us time to defend deeper than ever before. Jack Stephens and Yoshida will be stationed on the goal line to cover mccarthy and will only be allowed off it at half and full time.

Shane Long will start.

9-1 to spurs.

Should the anti-press not be called the De Press @rust-cohle ?

Kane, Alli, Son and Erickson all to score as usual.

5-4 Saints…

Ideally Dubster but you know Mauricio. A Stubborn stubborn man.

It becomes ‘De-pressing’ after 90 mins is his argument.

I’d be tempted to ask the FA if we can field an extra man or two given our disadvantage of being tactically retarded. Then it might be a game.

Other than that I have no solutions.

Would defintely play Long because Sanchez and Vertonghen tend to make mistakes when pressured and when against pace. Kane will score, so will Eriksen, so we really need to score at least two goals (in the first half, obvs) to stand a chance of a point. That being the case I’d probably play Gabby as well… but then we lose width or surrender the midfield, neither of which is a good idea against Spurs.

I’d go 3-5-2:

McCarthy

Yosh Hoedt Bertrand

Hoj Romeu

Cedric Lemina McQueef

Gabby Long

I think you are trying to say we will lose but politely ?

Again no JW-P? He’s been our best player when playing out wide, why would you drop him?

Nothing personal - no pace to play at wing-back against whoever MoPo decides to terrorise us with. But agree it would be harsh to drop the only person who has scored goals recently!

If the FA let us field an extra player then no problem accommodating him, but otherwise I’m not sure what to do!

It does not matter what the others do, I am still a winner. My mummy told me that.

Tickets purchased, which means I’m going, which means that Saints won’t score.

@pap can you change my username to Anathema please :lou_lol:

I reckon we should give him a more advanced midfield role in place of Davis. He carries the ball well and is pretty dynamic. Seems a waste having him on the bench all the time.

OK, question for you adults!! Asking for a friend who has purchased a ticket under his son’s membership number but his son can no longer go. So my “friend” is taking an adult instead.

So is there some sort of warning at the turnstyle if someone uses a kiddie ticket that will alert the stewards. Would it be best for my “friend” to phone the TO and get the ticket upgraded?

Yes the “concession” card (kids and old fuckers) lights a green and an amber light on the turnstile. The normal adult card , just the green. Turnstile stewards are there to watch the lights but how closely they look…who knows.

There is always a steward watching the lights - you could try a mask, but the beer belly might give it away

A wig and face paint. Possibly a scarf and flag too. Great disguise!

Don’t forget the amusing foam hand too!!
