Murty wants to make Millwall suffer
6:00am Saturday 8th August 2009

- By Gordon Simpson » Senior Sports Reporter
GRAEME Murty wants Saints to show Millwall plenty of aggression today, in a bid to make St Mary’s a horrible place for opponents to visit.
The 34-year-old right back, who signed a one-year deal at the club on Tuesday night, is set to make his competitive debut for Saints this afternoon.
The former Reading captain is expecting a tough test against last season’s beaten League One play-off finalists.
But he has urged his teammates to show a bit of grit and lay down a marker for visiting sides this campaign.
“They’re high-tempo, aggressive and obviously very good,” Murty said of Millwall. “They got to the playoff final last year and will feel a little bit aggrieved (to have lost).
“They’ll want to start with a good performance here, at a big, big club.
“So it’s down to us to match everything they do and maybe even go above it.”

So this game represents a great chance to move just 7 points behind one of the favourites for automatic promotion.
Let's do it!
Perhaps another Thomson wonder goal in the last minute to win it?

Murty's attitude is exactly what we need; a bit of fight in the team rather than allowing ourselves to be rolled over. Hopefully its catching, especially with the young'uns.

The fight is there is just needs bringing out, Davis, Perry,Murty, Thomas, Harding, have got the fight there Gillett, Wotton, have it in them to battle for everyball ,
Fish Mills and Schneiderlin will have learned alot from year, that just Sagonowski wanting to bang a few in, (so he will get sold) Paterson did well last season (when required) that just leave my old favourite Lallana, well enough said on him.
A new boss to impress, 15,000 crowd (fingers crossed) giving it some vocals.
Break the sky jinx at the first attempt, (there only down here because we are Saints once of the premier and they like to see get stuffed)
7 points behind the title 2nd favourites, all bodes well for a cracking game this afternoon, if it don't happen like that groan and be negative after, but until then, keep the faith.

My Mrs is moaning already, wondering why I'm up and buzzing like the proverbial, I ain't looked forward to a new season in years, maybe it because of the 10 points, but I can't to get going today, it's been a hellish summer, until ML took over.
Hope we win, and league one has never seen so many other teams draw.

Think there will be alot more than 15000 there today. They had sold 18000 ST and game tickets upto Tuesday. Have heard that Millwall have got 3000 coming. Dug out my old running spikes just in case, they have dual purpose lol.

I am really up for today and full of optimism. It is a great time to be a Saints fan.
Finally ignore the negative postings on here. They are all posted by depressed skates who know their club is going down the pan.
Also note that the worst of them does not usually appear until late in the day as most of them live in homes where no one has ever had to get up for work in the morning.

Cracking day for football - players queuing up to come to work with Pardew, and to cap it all we're on SKY!
All the bad omens lifted today - the SKY hoo-doo will be dead and buried with the new regime!
Millwall will be a tough test - they don't come any harder...had experience in Leeds a couple of seasons ago.
I wonder how many remember the Battle of The Haymarket?
