Following last week’s amazingly entertaining 1-1 victory down at the Satan’s Charge Card Arena, the mighty demons of Southampton head back to ** Mary’s full of new found confidence and ready to do battle with one of my favourite sons. Sean (shares 3 letters with satan) had his husky voice developed through years of breathing in hell fire, folowing a life of wonderful sins, prostitution (he was very popular with the wives of the liberal elite) and encouraged many to literally **** satan’s ****. So much so that I released him a while ago to try his luck at my favourite game.
He has sean promise (get it? That’s Satan doing a good joke no?) over the last few years as he brings his northern lads down to face the Southern nancies. They have done good so far because, as that old boy Virgil (not that one) would have said ‘‘Possunt quia posse videntur’’ … The demons of Southampton could do with a bit of that (as well as a bit more ‘cut’ to go with their thrust)
Anyway, with Satan in charge of the match thread, how can anyone bet against a crushing victory? Problem is for which side…
Demons 2-1 Dyche’s claret swilling northern real men
It comes as no surprise that we have our best seasons when his predictions have at least 20points and 10 places below our actual position… last season he had us above our actual position for much of the season… we need to campaign to get him predicting we are really shit again
Our only attacking threat comes when Bert & Cedric get forward (and then Cedric duffs the cross) but surely with them in more advanced positions they will have the chance to do those little lay-offs to (2 from) Boufal/Tadic/Redmond in an area where there could be SOME attacking threat.
Romeu is half the player he was last season and so with him sitting deeper we won’t notice any difference attack wise, then it comes down to Davis or Lemina making the breaks in cemtral MF and bringing the wing backs into play?
McArthy
VVD Maya Hoedt
Cedric Romeu Bertrand
Davis Lemina Boufal
Gabbi
But we won’t. Tadic will be in for Davis, Lemina will play as a second DM (at home) and we’ll play a flat back 4 with the wardrobe behind them.
Big game on Saturday. With Liverpool, Everton and Man City to come this month I would take a scrappy 1-0 over Burnley. Maya to score the winner in injury time with a deflected header.
Probably the wrong place to post this but 1) Didn’t think it merited it’s own thread & 2) it’ll take my mind of what promises to be a dull game when Dyche tells his guys to park the bus to grind out an away point.
Saw on BBC footie gossip that Luke Shaw is open to a move back to Saints & Bertrand off to Citeh… (Daily Mirror)
Another leaver who did well with us but failed to live up to expectations elsewhere.
Nah leave him where he is. He sold his sole to the Devils let him rot in the reserves in the Northern hinterlands wondering what would have happened if he had stayed.
