Right, I believe as I failed in the last one I need to start this one.
Here it is, have it!!!
I won’t be going and I won’t be watching as my wife has decided that my daughters’ birthday party is to be held during the game and not wanting to be a bad dad etc. etc. etc.
For me it depends if Gabby is fit.
If he is, 3-0. If he isn’t, I reckon it’ll be 1-1 or 0-0.
Interesting to see if Caceres gets a game - rumours building that he might…
Fantasy Premeier League have him with a 75% chance of a return, physioroom.com have him down as “no return date”.
I guess we wait for Claude’s presser tomorrow.
I salute you, @btripz - I salute your courage, your indefatigabilty, your willingness to start a match thread when others shrink from the task.
With or without Gabbiadini, I reckon we’ll do 'em. Not certain about the score, but we’ll do 'em. Yes.
DAMNITALLTOHELL!
Fwiw Chazza was down here getting rained on for the big horse race last weekend.

This was a good effort by the lads down under
Australian Saints gathering in Brisbane for their annual road trip for this one. 2:30 am kick off, fans arriving from around the country - and to put it in persepective, Perth to Brisbane is the same as Bargate to Baghdad. We are even playing the Norwich and Chelsea Aussie fan groups in the park as well. Details:
We’ll be kicking things off (literally) in the Botanic Gardens from 1pm on Saturday with the jumpers for goalposts. The Norwich and Chelsea groups have accepted the challenge. With Sydenham on the wing, we can’t lose!
Following the kick-about (approx 3pm) we’ve been invited across the road to one of Brisbane’s premier restaurants, Moo Moo Wine Bar & Grill, owned by a Saints fan. Following that we’ve set aside a few spare hours for those who require a few extra zzz’s to make the later kick-off.
The dinner itself will get underway at the Pig ‘N’ Whistle Riverside from 7.30pm-8pm. Between dinner and the match getting underway at 2.30am we’ll have Saints FA Cup styled trivia, the signed Boufal shirt raffle (plus more prizes) and much, much more - including the highly anticipated Hosts v Visitors ‘boat race’.
Sunday is TBD and will depend on result. Most likely a Sunday session somewhere near the water either way. For those who have taken the Monday off we’ll be attending the Brisbane Roar A-League match that evening at Suncorp.
Can’t wait to see you all at the 5th SAS Annual!!

I will be down for this, but will not be drinking.
I did not realise such a thing was possible.
Lawro tries to shaft us again the twat
Southampton v Bournemouth (17:30 BST)
The two south coast sides are level on points at the moment, in 10th and 11th, although Southampton have two games in hand on their neighbours.
Bournemouth will be happy with that return because they look safe now, while Saints are probably disappointed not to be higher up the table.
Southampton turned Bournemouth over when they met earlier in the season but I don’t think they will repeat that at St Mary’s.
The Cherries were slipping down the table until they stopped the rot with wins in their past two games, and they now know they will be fine.
Local pride is at stake here, just as it is on Merseyside earlier on Saturday, and I can see Bournemouth putting up a decent fight and leaving with a point.
Lawro’s prediction: 1-1
Omid’s prediction: 4-3
Papster! Say it ain’t so (the not drinking bit, obviously).
I fancy Boruc to flap at a cross or let one through his legs.
Sorted
Can’t go to match. Bro’ in law has BT and is coming over so will be watching online - with a decent feed
Nice.
This is a 12:30 am kick off for me so will be watching from my bunk, in the cell at the Betty Ford clinic I am attending in the South China sea to earn a crust.
I would pay good money not to attend An evening of charismatic chat with Claude and Eddie.
Today could be the day that the 4th official nods off.
