Good morning.
Match of the day? Well we can live in hope.
The Saints sit a point ahead of QPR having won just one game for far this term and that was at home against Villa who they managed to beat 4-1. Now what Southampton have managed to do is score. They’ve won naff all but they have scored against everyone. Arsenal, Everton, Manchester United…So we need a defense
Based upon his last two games alone (for England and us) Walker needs ‘a rest’. To regroup and refocus himself before it all goes horribly wrong for all of us. So I’ve brought in Naughton. To be blunt, at this stage a ‘caution wet floor’ sign would present more of an obstacle defensively than he’s been of late.
Billy was a close second in recent hate fests and I can’t take any of that seriously. Dawson for all his fan boy support is a hoofing heart-breaker we have to move away from this. All you do when you punt the ball away is turn possession into a 50/50 ball. I know it’s boring, but that’s predominantly what the bloke does.
First things second and I’ve put in Lloris but I think the boss will stick with Brad. i don’t know why, no sun up in the sky, stormy weather. Well I don’t think it will actually make things stormy but I just don’t see the good in it.
So where next? Barring a bout of post natal depression the Boy Bale ought to be back but I am unconvinced Moussa will be right. So at the risk of sending you my dear reader into spasm of wtf’ing I’ve gone for Thud. Why? Well I don’t need to watch Livermore again this season if I can help it, I don’t see Gylfi as a DM and despite the thinking of more charitable souls than mine none of the kids are ready yet.
Thud could make something happen and that leads me neatly on to playing a 442 with both of our brave strikers starting. I see little point in keeping either of them ‘up our sleeve’ against Southampton. This lot leak goals like nobody’s business and we need to make sure therefore we really focus on supply and therefore hopefully scoring.
Prediction? I’m sticking with us giving them a hiding. There’s no earthly reason why we should be the side that turns their abysmal form around. None whatsoever. We must show resolve – we must show steel.
They don’t like it up ’em, you know, The cold hard steel.

When everyone was complaining about Suarez being a cheat for handballing in the WC,I was touting his talent (at Vital Spurs) We should have signed him.
No thank you, he’s a rotter, a cad and a bounder.
Ill take a rotter,Cad and bounder as our front three thanks!
Gallas is to old, to ex goonerish and in the last year of his contract.
Sooner he goes sooner we might keep a clean sheet.
Our record season in the premier league for keeping clean sheets was when Dawson started most games.
Just saying.
What were games Dawson started then?
Our team today vs Southampton is: Friedel, Walker, Gallas, Caulker, Vertoghen, Sandro, Huddlestone, Dempsey, Lennon, Bale and Defoe.
Our subs: Lloris, Naughton, Dawson, Livermore, Townsend, Falque and Sigurdsson
Hmmm.
Entirely predictable in other words.
Has anyone got a link I can watch the game on?

Lloris benched and Dembele and Ade not even in the squad??? Can only think neither are fit.
