I'm beginning to like Alan Brazil who I have heard try several times to give us some credit but he is banging his head against the wall with some of the dross on Talksport. This morning he tried again... 'and what about Saints' he said to the expert from some paper 'Um yes, anyway I wanted to talk about the Spurs game'.
A bit later he tried again when the betting odds were being discussed. 'tonight it's Saints at Villa, the Saints have done brilliant, what do you think about tonight's game'
'trouble is they have made a good start but you can't see it lasting. Villa to win'
TBF it's how it's always been with the media. Regardless of what happens from here we have embarrassed the dinosaurs again which is always pleasing

[quote="PonyFiddlerReturns"]Here's what Lawro thinks:
This is a big game for both sides and I am really looking forward to it.
It makes so much difference to the atmosphere for players to be playing in a night match under floodlights and it is more exciting for fans compared to a Saturday lunchtime kick-off.
The thing about Southampton's great start to the season is that it means they are now a scalp, which brings a different kind of pressure.
Villa ended a run of six defeats with a draw against West Ham but, even with Christian Benteke suspended, I think they might surprise a few people here.
I am not taking anything away from Saints, who have been excellent in pretty much every way on the pitch this season and, off it, are a great example of how to run a football club.
It is just that I think Villa might mug them on Monday.
Lawro's prediction: 1-0
