BTW I don't pronounce Valencia like "Balenthia" or Barcelona as "Barthelona", but it just seems an odd thing to have as a pet hate. And I don't think commentators are trying to sound intelligent or cool when they say it, they're just pronouncing it, well, correctly.

Was thinking that.

Is "Balenthia" not the correct pronunciation?

Brilliant game that.

Juventus been outplayed so far in the second half. Lazio play canny stuff.

Penalty to Lazio. 1-2.

Great goal from Lazio.

Class game so far in Juventus-Lazio.

2-1 Palace

Chortle.

Chelsea equalise.

Palace 1-0 up

Pardew will be pundit for this no doubt.

13/15. Got the last 2 on international wrong.

I know, please. Just came across a clip of a 1-1 draw with Arsenal at SJP in 2003. Prior to the game we were 5 points off Arsenal in 2nd after 25 games played, wonder if we'll ever see those heights again.

Merson's predicted us to lose again.

Aye, surprised to read that. Always liked him when he was at Norwich. One of the posts on there is also calling for Tadic to be dropped? Odd.

They seem quite level headed tbf to them. https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?58836-Saints-vs-Newcastle-build-up-thread#.Wd6E2WiPKM8

Merino Chr nicle

He predicted us to lose again yet?

He's nailed on to be pundit for our game on Sunday.

It's a good opportunity to get a good result, which imo is a point or more. No reason why we can't win; we were poor at Huddersfield and Brighton and yet still should've at least drawn the games, maybe even won the former and both were without Shelvey, who is integral to how we play. The record at Southampton is irrelevant as far as I'm aware, yes it doesn't exactly breed confidence but this is a completely new game, just like it was when Rafa finally got us a win at home to Swansea in our last season in the PL when our record vs them was s****, a point vs Man City et cetera. They've been poor but our impotent attack is a worry. A point will be a good result for me but I certainly won't be writing us off in regards to winning it.
