Jeez, I didn't realise that this game is 2wks away as England are playing a massive game v the ski instructor's and waiters from Andorra next weekend.... this makes this the earliest MDT ever and will be long forgotten about by the time of the game.
Nothing goes on in Southampton so I'll add bits in the following days, bore you with a couple of stories about the place and make the rest up....
I played at Southampton's old ground, The Dell, in the Hampshire Senior Cup Final and it was the worst pitch ever and full of big holes and divots....don't know how Le Tissier looked so good on it! And we got stuffed 3-0!
I went to a Southampton v Leeds game about 20yrs ago but wasn't able to get tickets....we went down to our hotel anyway as it was booked. We got the ferry over to the Isle of Wight for a day trip and when we got back to the hotel the Leeds players coach was in the car park... we went in and the Leeds players were everywhere in tracksuits! After a couple of drinks I got brave and politely asked a table of players if anyone had any spare tickets. Dom Matteo said he had 2 and handed them over free and we sat with the players wives etc.... can't remember the score though!
Next morning as we came out of our hotel door for breakfast, Milner and Bakke came out of the room opposite and we went down in the lift with them. I remember Milner was very spotty and shy and Bakke had fkn massive ears....
I remember Viduka oddly sitting at a table by himself reading a newspaper. I'm sure Ivan Bravo was also there who I think got caught up with employing someone to kill somebody for him a couple of years ago.... is that correct or just the voices in my head!?
Southampton is famous for :
The Titanic sailing from here on it's fateful maiden voyage....
Onions were invented here....
The Spitfire plane was built here....
There are 8 other Southamptons in the world.... 6 in the USA and 2 in Canada. If you are travelling to the game make sure you put the right one in your sat nav....
Famous people from Southampton include:
Tit touching sexcase Benny Hill....
Some of the Chuckle Brothers....
Craig David who met a girl on Monday, took her for drink on Tuesday and was riding her on the Wednesday....
3 footed pilot Douglas Bader....
John Terry's best mate Wayne Bridge....
Non bra wearer Charlie Dimmock....
Howard Jones who'd like to get to know you well....
Jona Lewie who you'd find in a kitchen at party's....
Fat arrssed Luke Shaw who needs to find some shorts that fit....
It looked like we were back to last seasons form v WatfordScum so I'm going for a positive 3-0 victory with a Hattrick Bamford hat trick. I assume he'll be fit as the game is 2wks away and I think Bielsa will put him straight back in. If he'd have been fit yesterday I'm sure we'd have won by 3/4 and he'd have scored a couple....
Better MDT than your first effort. I assume you were sober this time. I dont mind it being so early as England V Andorra hardly excites.
I can now spend a bit of time thinking about a real game that matters.
I wish you luck my friend and please ensure you seek out the Gaelic Bull God to ensure we have the luck of the leprechauns this game too.
Saints will press us high up the pitch so we need to be able to pass/break between their lines. Rodrigo looks a more complete striker than young Pat so I would expect him to keep his place with Hattrick on the bench if he has recovered enough.
Baby Shacks has earned the RB spot. Ayling might soon be wondering if he will ever get a game again.
Llorente is immense which is a shame for Charlie.
We wont have Rafa for this game as he will no doubt have to self isolate or, with the travel time, not be quite match fit to start. James looked more than decent on the left v Watford so maybe Jackie will then start on the right.
Expect Dallas to be fit as he is a warrior. If not I would put Bate in there and play him alongside KP. Both as No6s but given the licence to move into a No8 position as and when whilst the other one holds. Similar to England with KP and Rice.
Saints have pace up top as did Watford but Ward-Prowse will be a big miss for them.
Excellent TC a vastly improved effort, top job mate.
seeing as the game wont kick off until 16th October even my long range weather forecast apparatus cant see that far, early indications are by the way the grass is growing it will be mild for the time of year but no brolly need as it wont rain that weekend.
If the game was on this weekend id be confident of bagging another 3 points but seeing as those dreaded internationals are on anything could happen, players picking up injuries, having to self isolate, etc
This MDT could go into the history books with 623123123324534523 views, and might be on page 23 with all the comments (and thats BEFORE) the game kicks off😉

For crying out load TC. Half our team will have retired before we actually kick off.
Doesn't matter who we put out, Southampton will try hard and give us a good game, but ultimately let us have the 3 points, so I'm going 2-1 Leeds
ward Prowse got sent off yesterday so will be suspended,which is a big bonus for us.
Does Rafa have to quarantine if he plays for Brazil?

Really top notch MDT that Mr TC squire.
Good personal tales from days of yore.
Are you going to this game TC , meet you for a jar or 2 pre or post match if you are.
I'm pretty confident we will win this, 2-0 ish. The old flow is coming back in to our play.
