Holden McGroin

Squad announced at Noon Id wager a bet there won't be an surprise. He doesn't seem to like Maddison for one reason or another (maybe personality so he might think he'll rock the boat) I think he'll take Wilson but no place for BDB.

Lascelles is our new Kilcline.

Joelinton not in the final squad btw. Although it doesn't say if he is on standby. They've included 39 year old Dani Alves. And Fred.....

According to wikipedia its 39. The 26 will be announced on 11th Nov. 8 of the 39 have no caps at all. Plus 5 GKs listed.

Botman in provisional Dutch squad.

Yeah, ASM is actually better suited to a team of strugglers where he is a god. Works for his ego and style of play (selfish) - a bit like Ben Arfa. He'll be great off the bench but doubt he'd be happy with that full time.

That goal wouldn't have been conceded if Trippier was on the pitch. Niether would the Fulham goal

Tripper is so important to the team I'd seriously look at someone who can cover him and both full back positions. In the ilk of Cancelo.

Maddison please.

Adams could have taken that down. He had plenty of time.

Id lob Max on now. Its going to be backs to the wall and hit them on the counter.

Aye. Playing out of his skin. Probs a dangerous Championship player - is his level.

They can push up on us now as Wood offers no threat in behind.

Modern Policital Warfare. Welcome to the party Labour. Bring it on.

I love the way he smacks two beers together and swigs one. That needed to be downed if you are packing two.

Well done. You've just cursed him. If he gets Injured today its all on you.

In the past 5 years we are 6th in net spend. Which sounds quite bad but then you think we've had no saleable assets for about 10 due to Ashleys DelBoy style approach

Ive enjoyed this debate. It has proved to me there are two types of people in this world. 1) People that love stats 2) Sexy people

I'll give Fish his due though. He is either the biggest bullshitter going or he has really researched this.

And does it base it on ability? For example if Kevin De Buyrne is free, 22 yards out I'd expect him to score just about every time. If it was Jamal Lascelles, I wouldn't.

Every manager gets sacked at some point.

So, to sum up again just in case anyone couldn't work it out from watching the games - Almiron is playing out of his skin.

Their forum is also seething Mike Dean is on VAR - as if he has a vendetta against Southampton FC.

Get good odds on a bet builder for this.

The Southampton forum are so disgruntled and apathetic that they are expecting a dry-bumming. Not a good sign. I'd prefer some over-confident Villa fans
