Need to win this and Fulham to put pressure on the rags.

Tonights game, need to keep an eye on Ings in particular, Minamino and Djenepo trickery.

why should the weather help them and not....say..well...us?
never got that 1

because poor conditions negate skills. the purer game suffers as it becomes a game for cloggers and defenders. a lot easier to play in great conditions on a great pitch. Just watch a few FA Cup upsets over the years when good teams play minnows on shit pitches. tonight the ball will be lightning fast off that pitch, wind will play havoc with any balls in the air

We'll be doing well to keep an eye on Ings, seeing as he'll be down on the South Coast somewhere still nursing his injury ;)

Ings is out injured

Ings is out injured

well thats a relief. Decent player. I guess he will be replaced with Long.

Still Southampton are a good team, started the season well. Pace, energy, counter attack.

don't think i've ever seen the weather have any effect on our game & it won't,btw it pissed down when Southampton lost 9-0 at home to Leicester

so much positivity. winds forecast is from 9pm. an hour after we would be done with them. they are not hit or miss. they have been poorest in form since our reverse game back in dec.

Winds stronger at 9pm but at 6pm they'll still be 32 - 36 mph , so not a gentle breeze. W 9 D6 L12 , pretty mixed to me . Apart from 9 GOALS shipped by 88 mins of a 10 man team , no one else has really stuffed them but lets hope i'm wrong and you're right

If Eddie has the wind behind him I think he’ll score from his own area today.

I know this match is tonight. But have just seen that our match against BM in the Champs League has been switched to Budapest on Tue 16th.
