Speaker: This is the Daily Saints pod with Zach and Greg.
Speaker: Hello and welcome back once again to the Daily Saints pod episode number 488. My name is Greg and once again today joined by my good friend and wonderful co-host Zach. Mate, how you doing? You're good?
Speaker: Yeah, it's too bad, mate. Just enjoying some some annual leave, to be honest. i Had a bit time off. Enjoyed my birthday. Thanks for well wishes for my birthday. Appreciate that. And yeah, so just chilling out. I had some plans yesterday, which obviously tied me up, so I couldn't record with you. But it's fine.
Speaker: you got to talk about the the return of the King, right? James Ward Proud's apparently on the radar in a non-joking way this time around. Yeah, it very rapidly went from, yeah, classic Saints linked with an X-Star to, oh, real journalists are talking about this. and And in a potentially serious way, and...
Speaker: I mean, yeah, I guess it's one of those things, right? if it If it lines up that it's a benefit for everyone, then, you know, that's a good piece of experience. Quite a footballing, intelligent head with a good knowledge of the club as well to bring back in.
Speaker: I mean... If it's the Oriol Romelu style feel-good signing and not seen as a Shea Charles replacement, then happy days, right? I think it's going to be somewhere in the middle. I think it's it makes more sense, at least from a footballing aside, that it makes more sense than, say, Theo Walcott and Romeo being brought back in, where they were kind of brought in for the last year of their career. I mean, arguably, we've missed out Adam Lallana from that list as well, right? Where he's just sort of brought in for the sake of it.
Speaker: And, you know, i think that that there is probably going to be an idea that he will play more. I just wonder what the last couple years have done to him psychologically. like you know You say he's going to bring leadership to the pitch and set standards, etc.
Speaker: But with him being away and being so in and around you know the fringes, right whereas when he was you know playing for us, right up until he finally sort of cemented his place under Hasenhutl,
Speaker: Then he played basically every single game. so you've got to wonder what that's done. He played like every minute of a Premier League season yeah or something ridiculous. So you need to you need to wonder what that's done behind the scenes and and to the guy's mind.
Speaker: There's also the question, though, is if he wasn't an ex-Saints player and we brought in a 31-year-old Premier League sort of around it, you know, midfielder, how would we feel about it then?
Speaker: Would we think it's a really shrewd bit like bit of business? I just don't think that that's... I think that that's so much of a relevant... Especially, like, it's not just an ex-Saints player, right? He is a a shining diamond example of working his entire way through the academy and living and breathing Saints and was here for 16 years. It's not just like, well, he was here for a couple of years, so he's good. Like he, he was for the period of time where he was the captain of our club. He was Mr. Southampton.
Speaker: Right. So it's, yeah, I think you, you can't remove that element as much as people think that you can. It's like when you, people tell people to take the emotion out of things. So it's like, well, that's part of being human too, right? Like you can just remove emotion and logic you could you had They are things that both work simultaneously, and that is when it comes to this transfer. disagree completely, mate. Don't know what emotion is. short Sure thing, buddy. But it is one of those situations where you know there is a lot of...
Speaker: heart versus head, and for a lot of people, it ticks enough boxes. And I think that it would be a more successful signing than, say, what happened with Rameu, because like I'm relatively sure Rameu played what, like ironically, the Millwall game, and then other than that, maybe a substitute appearance, and that was kind of it.
Speaker: I'm going to borrow a point that I think it was Steve on TSP made that you say that, but... almost immediately after signing Romayu, we went on a 20 game on beaten street. So, you know, causation, correlation, who's to say? Right. Well, I guess, I guess that fly I accidentally crushed is also the reason why, right? Like, no, but I mean, the e there is more to a dressing room and a a group of players
Speaker: than the 90 minutes we see on a pitch in yeah every week, right? that You could have paid for everybody to have an individual psychologist every minute of every day that they needed than pay the wages of Rumeu during that time. that That's where I'm at, in the nicest possible way. i i have I have met a few psychologists and they're on some pretty big money. So...
Speaker: it's Look, if if it's the sort of signing where if he has the effect that it's possible and and potential for him to do and have that boost of morale to the team and that, that you know, bring it up. And like, you know, do I think he's going to come in and be a regular starter for us? No, not at all.
Speaker: Do I think that there are moments in a game where being able to bring on a player, even... at his age, a player of his quality and experience will be a boost.
Speaker: Yeah, I can see that. But the price has to be right for that, and that isn't going to be the wages he's on currently, right? So that'll be the main sticking point. But...
Speaker: But either way, it's not one that's going be done in time for this game, is it? Well, who knows? i I begged at this point to you know to figure it out. but Well, look, that was a reason that I recorded the transfer show at midnight, right? yeah at the To make sure I wasn't missing out on the any breaking transfer news because it all happens real quick when it happens, right?
Speaker: But look, Millwall back at St. Mary's for the third time in a week on Saturday. a game that is it's a bit of a strange one, right? I mean, to me, in my opinion, this is a really quite scary opposition, at a really scary time to play them. But we were looking at the odds before the game and or before the show, sorry, and That's not really what the bookies think, which, don't know, this it's kind of a mismatch in our valuations. What do you ja make of that? i I tend to think that you're over-egging it because of the two games we played against them last year. So the first game we played against them was when Leo Sienza picked up an injury after having a good run.
Speaker: We didn't really know how to replace him. We replaced him with, you know I think for a lot that game, Jay Robinson. And then we did a very, very Saints thing and lost in like the last kick of the game, right? So we could have managed to pick up a draw. and When we played them against St Mary's, I kind of expected, you know, that point, we were far more into a, what we would consider to be Tonda-esque team. We actually weren't. We were playing, still playing a back five at that point. We also still had Bozuna in goal because it was literally the 1st of January, so it was New Year's Day.
Speaker: We also had Adam Armstrong come on for the last 30 minutes of the game, replacing striker Cameron Archer. which shows you what our striker options were because other than Adam Armstrong, it was it it was him. it That was it.
Speaker: You know, the other the only bench bench on the bench, you had jay Robinson, who obviously we now know is in Italy, Barnaby Williams. But again, back far five we were playing at that point, Gillette, played, I want to say, like 60 minutes of this game and then was eventually replaced by Tom Fellows. Sienza was essentially playing like you know right at the top with and was replaced Tom in natural position of right back there. Yeah, exactly. and again, Leo Sienza being replaced by Finna Zaz, which you know we know that that's not really the best way.
Speaker: The only thing that isn't really hugely different at that point was Flynn Downs was playing alongside Cam Bragg and Yander managed to come on for Flynn for the last five minutes. the defence isn't that different. Obviously, Breeb wasn't back yet.
Speaker: Obviously, he came straight in against a bit Pompey. So, yeah was just a bit of a of a weird one. Like, we weren't the team that we are now. We didn't have, you know, a striker like Karl Lahren. we didn't have a goalkeeper like Peretz. And I know that some people tried to give Peretz a hard time after the 4-1 loss in the middle midweek. But quite frankly, like most of those goals were, you know, bar maybe Bowens, which was just Bowen doing Bowen things. A vast majority of them were the four guys in front of you should have done basically anything.
Speaker: Right. And, you know, tried his best with it. But in this game, from a stats perspective, we had 66% of the possession, but the same amount of shots as Millwall, but only two shots on target. And I think with, you know, with Carl Lahren and like the form that you've got sort of Azaz and Sienza that are into now,
Speaker: I don't think that it's going to be the same sort of outcome. It just depends whether or not we can survive getting kicked. But I can understand why the odds are still in our favour, despite the fact that Millwall have won their opening two games. Yes, they were a playoff team, but... That's the thing, right? Because you know that's one of the factors. Obviously, how we did against them last season does play on my mind for sure. But...
Speaker: but also the the form they're in at the moment, right? They're the top of the league. Two games, two wins, no goals conceded.
Speaker: And is it five goals, four? it's it's It's scary, right? Like, that's good form. That's good numbers. They are really doing a good job. And that, you know...
Speaker: I mean, zero goals conceded is is the one that jumps out of me. If they're a really tough defensive team that's tough to break down, even with the the form that Laren's in, that's something that historically we don't really do very well against, right?
Speaker: Yeah, true. but We're just going to have to, you know, give it a best our best go and hope that it ends up going well. But, you know, we were all aware of the fact that there's transfer business to be done. We're all aware that there's gaps in the team. Obviously, there was hope that Yander would be back this weekend. He wasn't, or this weekend just gone. Then there doesn't seem to be a chance. You know, I think there's it still seems to be touch and go right up to this weekend.
Speaker: which means they're still going to kind of put together a midfield. We haven't replaced Shea yet. As you pointed out, Ward-Prowse isn't real Shea replacement. Even if we get somebody in today, they're probably not going to be ready in time for tomorrow. And if they are, you know, it's going to be surprising if they start or if they're even involved.
Speaker: So, yeah it's going to be a struggle because we're also in a state of flux. And I think that the biggest problem and the biggest enemy enemy we've had with the sort of fast start we've wanted to make is the transfer window.
Speaker: And, you know, you've got a lot of... noise on the social media with people talking about how sort of like, oh, we were promised that going a really exciting team before the end of the window. And people seem to like not remember the window is still open. And the reason that we have, we'll be doing all of this last minute business is as we keep trying to point out constantly, we are essentially dealing with gigantic like housing chains, right? So, for example, the the target that Aston Villa had for centre-back instead of Taylor Harwood-Bellis has now gone to Crystal Palace, which have probably reignited those talks, which means that you know they're probably actually willing to pay closer to the price we want, which means that we don't know what's going on there.
Speaker: yeah We are supposedly bringing in another centre-back that isn't actually there to replace Stephens or Hilahabert-Bellis. It's supposed to be a replacement for Kwasi, who might be going out on loan.
Speaker: We still haven't heard what's going on with you know Sugawara or Ramsdale. I know that you pointed out that they've been some tenuous links to sort of like Italy and you know and for for Downs, for example, America. But that's like, you know, i i could just say that on Twitter. Yeah. Yeah, I could say that on Twitter and it could just probably generate a room. The only link I managed to find, and I talked about it yesterday's Stratfair show, mate, was Aaron Ramsdale has interest of clubs from abroad.
Speaker: Yeah, like probably Turkey, because that seems to be... Somewhere on the planet will take him. so Somewhere else might want to bring in Ramsdale, who, you know, I think a fan pointed out that, like, you know, it's like, oh, you'll be off soon anyway. He's like, oh, I'm going to stay. And it's like, well, it's a bit...
Speaker: I mean, everything else, you know, everything else last season, this, that and other is kind of, it's a bit late for all of that now to have that sentiment. But also that creates a whole other difficult situation.
Speaker: problem because what happens if we end up in a situation where he's here and we end up with George Long, Ramsdale and Perez and he is the third choice goalkeeper and probably the highest wages in the entirety of the squad and you know you might be saying well that's that this isn't a transfer episode you you were too busy and you missed out on that but I think that it plays into how this weekend is going to go and Because, you know, i don't know how busy Millwall have been in the window, but they seem to just kind of be cracking on. Whereas with us, we are the victim of our own success. They've been they've been pretty settled. They obviously had Barry Brannan leave after, you know, arriving in January, but not a huge amount of outs, really. And that's that's part of their benefits, right? That's part of why they've managed to do so well. They're still...
Speaker: very similar team to the, you know, got to the playoffs in that push before. So Yeah, it it is going to be tough, I think. And I guess also, are we as eager as I am to brush it off? It's just cup, doesn't really matter, no one cares. I mean, only supposedly 15,000 in attendance on Tuesday night, although that number seems high. You know, who it doesn't matter, doesn't it? Yeah.
Speaker: Is it as easy to brush that off and try and you know get back to winning ways straight away? It's important to, right? But is it easy? Well, this is the problem that if you you know we've talked about a lot and whether it meant more to West Ham and to us, and clearly the answer to that was West Ham. And we did start playing some senior players towards the end, but you would have probably be better off just playing the entirety of the B team and not really swapping them out and losing.
Speaker: i wonder if we'd have actually done better, to be perfectly honest, rather than sort of trying to fanny about at the end of the game. But no, i think I think it's difficult. And, you know, as you but you've also pointed out that there will be a much better atmosphere, far more people...
Speaker: it will be significantly more buzzing at the weekend. And that means that that comes with a level of expectation. People turn people will People will turn. If they if they if they see crap, they're going to get annoyed. yeah and And that's going to be, you know, the players will hear that. When people have fallen asleep at like nine o'clock at night on a Tuesday when we're already 3-0 down, you're not going to get the same level of sort of, you know, yeah annoyance that you can that the players could maybe feed off of. But again, I just think the disruption... I guess your take there is that annoyed and hostile if things start to go wrong might be just as motivating as like positive and buzz.
Speaker: right because Because after that on Tuesday, and you know even though even though the win against Stoke, it was only really the last 10 minutes of that game that make up for the rest of that game. right yeah Other than that, 10 minutes is a very different show that we have to do last week. you know is The patience, is is it going to be pretty thin?
Speaker: right Is it going to be... all party in Jovi or or are we in a position where maybe we go 1-0 down and suddenly it starts to get a bit... oh oh that that That was always going to be the hangover from last year. That was always going to be how it was going to be. You've already had people saying, i think it's time for Tonda to go after Tuesday, which...
Speaker: look, I understand emotions can run high, but genuinely some people just need to think for five minutes before they tweet. That's all I'm saying. You know, like that poor bloke that, you know, rest in peace Dolly Parton, but also you'll never walk alone. 11.4 million views that's got, if you've not seen it, Craig. Very funny. No, I've not seen it. I'll send that to you after the show. But like, that's kind of, you know...
Speaker: I think that there is going to be thinner patience, but also it's trying to add the context of... I would rather judge it in a week's time when the windows closed. Yes, I really wanted us to go off to a fast start, but I'm aware that losing a key centre-back and people being like, well, why don't we have a replacement plan in place? We probably do. But again, it requires us to actually know if a that centre-back's going, B, gets whatever targets we have to want to join us, and C, be able to promise them a level of game time, which let's face it, if Taylor Hubbard-Bellis stays, they're not going to get... We've already started to see that, you know, players we've signed for the first team haven't been in and about it, you know, with Kwasi, who's obviously on his way out. Kaya Sander, who we kind of built to develop, has on a loan now with potentially an option to buy. So, i yeah, I think that, you know, the reason I'm banging so much about the transfer window is that the disruption in the squad is,
Speaker: is causing a lot of these this problems and it will be resolved when the window slams shut. However, in that's not going to matter. Yeah. However, that's not going to matter to anybody when it comes to the game on Saturday, which is why they need to try and do their best to put Tuesday behind them and ultimately get a win.
Speaker: I don't think even a draw going to be enough... I don't think the noise is going to quiet regardless, right? If all of a sudden we go on a three-game winning streak, this isn't this isn't a conversation. But I'm fundamentally aware that a fast start is what was desperately needed this year.
Speaker: They know that. They're trying to deal in the best way they possibly can. So I'm just going to like you know try and back them, hope it goes well. you know, go from there.
Speaker: But I, I agree with you and understand that, yeah, it's a pretty imposing team to come up, like come up against just because of, you know, who Millwall are, to be perfectly honest. And I don't think I need to explain why.
Speaker: and if you're not from, if you're new to football, just have a Google mean who famously chance. No one likes us. We don't care. And that epitomizes, uh, you know, their, their attitude to the game and fair play to them for that.
Speaker: let's, let's move on to, to predicted lineups. So mate, how do you see us lining up for this one? It's got to be back. to i mean, it's going to be a fairly similar team to to the slope game, right? Surely.
Speaker: Yeah, it'll be Peretz, it'll be Bree, it'll be brie it' will be Manning, and it'll be Stephens and Wood. And people are going to be mad that Stephens is in, and people are going like, oh, it's not fair. What are they going to do? They're going to put Kwasi in, who's potentially about to go on loan, that knows he's not going to play. Name the other centre-backs that we have.
Speaker: Unless we've signed a centre-back by that point. And even then, you're not going to chuck him in against Millwall at home, day one, right? Straight enough. Yeah, Joe Aribo played centre-back, I'm aware. Yeah. I thought you'd have got that for a minute. Look, we're recording this at Thursday afternoon, right? yeah There's potential that if it's announced by Thursday evening that Schlotterback comes in, maybe he gets a start, right?
Speaker: Maybe. Nah. It's going to be Jack Stevens. People are going to go annoyed about it. And then if Stevens scores or has an okay game, we end up seeing everything turn back to what it is usually like, which is like, oh, can't believe we've never really replaced him. But also he's our captain and blah, blah, blah, blah. And the back and forth and back forth the discourse that's been over him for years. And, you know, we've been part that discourse, to be fair. Again, putting Fellaini's hair, stupid move. Got him, you know, suspended during extremely important Premier League season.
Speaker: And then subsequently also saved us last year against Wrexham. And, and those three points ultimately were really important towards the end of the season. So, you know, he buys a lot of good credit from me just from, uh, celebrating with a feigned hamstring injury. Well, yeah, no, to be clear, it' very, very funny in my regard. So, uh, But that's the thing for a lot of people when it comes to the footballing side, not. But when it comes to the lineups, I do not think that they are going to change that much. I think it will be Manning. i think it will be Wood. i think it will be Stevens. And I think will be Brie. Middle of the park is be interesting.
Speaker: m Who do you think? I mean, Flynn Downs is the first name in that list. Flynn Downs will definitely be on that list. Has Akachukwu done enough to maybe get a start alongside him? Maybe. Do I think it's probably more likely to be Camp Bragg? Yes. Will it actually be maybe Matsuki? Matsuki? Maybe.
Speaker: Maybe. Who knows? Come back to Caspiander, perhaps? He was supposedly close last week, but not close enough. Yeah, but then also, I think that they've said that he's still not quite there. I think it's a lot of mind games to be played, right? That was a very big statement of, okay, well, we can't really BS that he's not...
Speaker: he's not fit. So, you know, they're going to know when he doesn't show up to the hotel, et cetera, or like, no, he doesn't show up on on, match day that most likely he's not playing. So we may as well tell them all and then just leave them figure trying to figure out who's going to start in the middle.
Speaker: know that Matsky's deputies, there are a few days. Uh, I know that you said that you like him being there. You don't mind him being there. There's a few people that have said otherwise. It's been mixed opinion and that's fair enough. yeah We all watch the game through different eyes. If we all have the same answers, managers wouldn't get paid the money. No, you could just have all of the fans vote which players would play and then you'd end up with that situation that England ended up with with the golden generation which is we all want put our favourite players on the pitch and then it doesn't matter if they don't actually play well together. I'm not entirely sure. don't think it will be Yander. I don't think that he's ready. If he is, that'll be really, really good that'll be an absolute boon to the squad.
Speaker: I think that the likelihood is maybe Bragg. I think the most likely combo is Bragg and Downs. Moving on up. man Zad, Sienza.
Speaker: Do you think the Fellows? so I think so. think he probably deserves it, but I think it will, I don't know if it will be fellows or potentially be Matsky. I don't know. Again, like fellows distributions being good. I think that, you know,
Speaker: he's struggling and, you know, considering he was given some opportunities to get himself into the first team. don't know if he's taken them as much. I don't know. i think maybe we need to strengthen that position, but people seem to not really care about that position at all. and Maybe it's just, he just requires a little bit more growth, but it's a conversation me and you've had a lot of times and I know that you have, and you know, and you can say that you don't, but you do you have a bias from the fact that, you know, you you like the baggies and he came in and you're like, oh, he's going to be a fantastic player for us and and has and assisted a lot last season.
Speaker: It's just, you know, I think that people are still expecting a little bit more maturity in his game by playing with us for a year solidly. Yeah, I mean, also, like, the thing is, when he has had those spells where he does play incredibly well have excellent games, as a team, we look considerably better as well, right? Like, I think Tonda brought it up in a presser, his game against Stoke last year. was was incredible and we as a team you know absolutely smashed it but because of that as well of that yeah so it's it's it's in there we just need to unlock it more consistently uh yeah simple as that and i think i think you know it depends maybe i don't think i don't think i'd be unhappy with either fellows or matski I think the issue is going to be physicality, right? That's going to the thing that Mill will bring to the table. And, you know, that means that we're already going struggle with Leo on the left because, you know, and that's not no disrespect to him. It's just that they are going to take him out constantly and they know that he goes down. And the problem is that Fellows is quick, but is also one that's prone to get wiped out pretty quick. So that's the only reason I'd put Matski there instead, if I'm being honest. Everything else is just discussion around the discourse. Now, who starts in the striker position?
Speaker: For me, Laren, obviously. Physicality, we want to get goals early. We want to least we want to at least get yeah Yeah, we want to get a goal early. Mubama has that too, but he started Tuesday night. We know he's the understudy, so it's going to be Laren. I fully believe we are back to... We are back to... Laren will start today, Mubama will start Tuesday.
Speaker: this is we're we're back We're back to Saturday, back to saturday Tuesday, squad. Is that where we're at now? Right, cool. We're up A and B team. but But maybe not the entire squad, but definitely in that striker position. That's how I yeah expect it to to to be rotated. Because we saw on Saturday, Laren start to flag and start tyre.
Speaker: We know that that's you know part of it and going to be part of his minutes and managing it. So... Yeah, because he's fit, but I think everyone also forgets he did have a World Cup where he started a game, participated in those games, home World Cup, lot of weight expectation.
Speaker: yeah okay, got an extended break as well, but that subsequently means that you know pre-season has resulted in, well, I think that there seems to be a bit of a consensus, and I don't know how much you agree with it, that that they're not as fit as that people would have expected off the back of pre-season.
Speaker: And I actually think that it's not to do necessarily fitness, it's to do more with match match fitness. And I think that when people are like, well, we should have played more opposition. i'm like, well, they did play like a bunch of friendlies plus extra friendlies that were just behind closed doors.
Speaker: You know, what what else? I don't know. That's just a thing I've noticed that part of the the discourse around the club recently, which the fact there is discourse says a lot, is why I think this is going to be a big, important game.
Speaker: Yeah, for sure. So with all of that out of the way, let's but let's have a little look at the history and the the stats and what what we think is going to happen. So 12 recorded matches in the data set, I am looking at five wins for Southampton, four draws and three wins for Mill. So if you know fairly even spread leaning towards favouring us. Yeah.
Speaker: the The analysis I'm looking at has a little graphic with Will Saints score and Will Millwall score. So, Will Millwall score is a medium chance because Saints have only kept clean sheets in 30% of matches and Millwall have scored in 80% of matches. And Will Saints score is uncertain because although Southampton scored in 90% of matches, Millwall keep clean sheets in 60%.
Speaker: look, that's hedging towards a low scoring game with either a draw or a Millwall win, interestingly. So that's that's going against... us so That's kind of wild against the odds, yeah. like you know I'm still not as jaded to think that weird I'm going to start predicting losses yet that's kind of where I'm at I still feel like it's well too early in the season start being that miserable yeah yeah or I respect it so what are you thinking mate what what number are you going to put on it
Speaker: Well, let's let's go with the what the statistically the computer always thinks every single game ever is going to be, which is 2-1, right? Because we're definitely going to concede because apparently we just can't keep a clean sheet and it's going to be a stupid mistake. It doesn't matter so long as you score two other goals and that's kind of where I'm where i up Where are those goals coming from?
Speaker: For Millwall, probably Femi Aziz because it's always fun to so to to get him confused with Finnazaz. Yeah. and And from us, I'd love to see Karl Lahren score to keep that kind of like momentum going, at least in the league.
Speaker: And probably just like another, maybe a Finesas goal as well. He's done some really nice assists and had some really good Finesas moments. But to get him back on the score sheet, I think would be good.
Speaker: Nice. I respect it. Oh, man. What do I think? Well...
Speaker: Oh, it's a real tricky one for me. Because you've you've basically built Millwall up be this big scary opponent. Now, you can't turn around and say 5-0 like you usually would. yeah You can maybe say 1-0, but the problem with 1-0 means that you think that we're going to keep a clean sheet, which we're not going to do. So you're either going land on 2-1 the same as me, which is awkward because you don't like to predict the same as me. And that means that if not, you've got to be more depressing and have a draw, which will be one all And that's awful for you. exactly how I've, like, my head is thinking yeah and I just I hate it and I just don't know if I myself think too well so let's say 4-2
Speaker: Fine. I'm all for it. It's a very sort of Saturday show, man. Yeah, it's just going open up and we're going have a flyer of a game and maybe we go 2-0 down and then come back and win for two Right? That would be crazy. Just have a crazy game like that.
Speaker: That would probably be interesting. against a team they're yet to concede interesting and then we're going to have goals from Larian Mubama Azaz and Bree good right by not saying by not invoking the voodoo curse of Tom Fellows you might actually be able to predict slightly better so I'll take it so 2-1 for for you
Speaker: Yeah. No draws yet, no losses for predictions. feels like one-all's probably more likely, though. Yeah, it's one of those things that, like, ever since we me and you have both started using Phenalysis, it's kind of completely ruined my ability to have an accurate prediction on that platform at all. LAUGHTER I'm like, well, I kind of need to stick to this prediction. I can't really change it the day before. That just kind of feels silly. yeah But subsequently, it means I've been wrong every single time. So yeah, happy days, mate. Happy days. Happy days. But look, that's it.
Speaker: Look. Let us know your thoughts, your score predictions in the comments and on the socials. We are Daily Saints Pod absolutely everywhere. Facebook X, Blue Sky, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, everywhere. Hit us up and let us know. We love hearing from you. Whatever happens, we will be here after the match to talk about it and and celebrate or vent those frustrations in one of those games that genuinely feels like it could go either way.
