Southampton v Everton. 26th April at 12.45.

I think we will do them, honestly do. I know it looks tough on paper but they have been quietly out of sorts for a good few games now and I think this could be a few goals for us.

2-0 Alcaraz and then McGeady. Could be a rough start with the long trip and early kickoff but at this point they know what they're playing for.

3 points please

My problem with Southampton exists because of just one small, but significant, category: it's fans. Normally a good relegation for a sustained while serves as a piping down for locals and a stern reminder that even if you are deep into a coke habit that one day the money is gonna run out and you’re back to being boring old you, with all your insecurities and apprehensions. So you go into lower league rehab and learn to love yourself again – free from previous toxins and just being an all round better person.

So the first thing the Southampton fans did when they got promoted again? Ordered a gram of pure flake and keyed it in one

Hahaahahahahahahhaha.

There were other good bits as well but this is so true.

1-1 draw I reckon.

if i had one , id say southampton are my top choice of non-supported but likable team this season.
i like there manager , i like there team , i like there style of play and work ethic.

going back a few weeks i looked at the fixtures and even though im taking each game as it comes i did look at this one and thought it would be a make or break game (even more so than utd ) . that was before the defeat to palace , so perhaps its an even bigger game now.

going back a few decades it used to be nottingham forest that always filled me with worry that things could be tough, i get the same feeling nowadays with southampton.

i get the feeling this is going to be a cracking match .... so it will more than likely be a 0-0 bore draw.
but a point gets us europe so i wouldnt be too dissapointed. but 3 points is what we really want.
all guns blazing and throw everything at them please lads.

ps... lallana is for me the one stand out player id love us to sign from another prem club. his skill drive and aggression is what i like to see in an everton player. my question ... what price for lallana ?

 

[ijjysmith]

my question ... what price for lallana ?

We could probably stump up a decent fee for him. But the problem would come that others would come in with a bigger offer.

I honestly don't see him leaving though.

Good preview, but:

We know that Mirallas is out for the season which is a loss but we’re well stocked in that position with presumably McGeady or Deulofeu chomping at some perceived bit to get in there and show their worth.

 

[DevineEFC]

Schneiderlin really makes that team tick.. their best performer every week and that's saying something! It's a big boost for us!

A BIG one!!!

 

[FTY]

I don't rate Adam Lallana really, or Shaw for that matter.

 

[peteblue]

We'll batter these 2-0......

 

[bluegirl]

Have to say I don't rate Shaw either, a lot of huff and puff about not a lot. Now I've said that, watch him bang in a screamer tomorrow

 

[Donald Twain]

Wheyheyyyyy the planes back ! I thought the world had given up on the poor souls. Well done boyo.

 

[riddick]

Quite don't mind Southampton. But I want them punished tomorrow.

Good quite up Chico

if we went into next season with that first choice team id be as happy as ive been since the 80s.
i do genuinely beleive that teams like utd and liverpool will start a bidding war for lallana over the summer. hes as good as gone imo.

 

[ijjysmith]

hes as good as gone imo.

what makes you say that mate?

 

[uknightbreed]

what makes you say that mate?

well its just my opinion that the 3 stand out prem players have been saurez (spit spit) hazard and lallana.
lallana's stock has risen and he plays for a club not competing for honours.
i dont mean any disrespect to southampton , but they have been a selling club in the past , they do have debts and with an asset like lallana so called bigger clubs will test there resolve. once one club comes in , im sure a few more will too.
the player himself might find it hard to not further his opportunities by joining a 'bigger club'. id say he also only has a couple more top money contracts left in his career.
