When are they due to be sent out?

AGREED but fed up with grass roots football being blamed by FA for quality of players, all the decent kids are taken to academies by the time there 8. Their is a conflict of interest between professional game and national teams. Grass Roots football just carries the costs of admin because the FA cannot control the Premier league

I Have

wish the headlines were about players on the pitch and not the pitch itself

83/84 best team by far and the added bonus of that win at Fratton, or more to the point the manner of the win

Not sure about Hughes BUT if he does not get it, we better be getting a known manager with balls because we have had two yes men who,aided by poor recruitment, led us into this mess

56 Years of support, good and bad, class myself as hardcore think i resent your comment

IT may but someone has still got to put their hands in pockets to buy them, not convinced so many will go quickly

problem is the club leadership is STUPID

Few years since you got to mention Glen

Semi agree we needed some extra legs in midfield , the starters had run themselves into the ground but to be fair options on bench in that area were limited

My point exactly, the new breed have known only success

Why are we bound to?

Just feel privileged to have seen all major games played by club in last 56 years, those saying cannot be bother to go to semi final should remember that before 63 you had to go back a lot of years until last semi final. this could be last one for another 50 years

Everton in 84 was a worst feeling than 63

Anyone seen list yet as to which Pubs will be for Saints Fans at Wembley? Tottenham have published list for their semi final

Got mine and 2 lads this morning, after reading doom and gloom on here was worried about being logged out etc, but only queued for 20 mins at 9am Nothing compared with 9 hours in 76, and outside

Since Fonte left , none of the senior old guard, who knew bad times, remain.NO leadership on pitch, at training hence no fight We have a squad of cheque book players now who care nothing about the club

Not many of them would get in other Premiership starting line ups ! Biggest issue for me is they do not act like a team

agreed spineless and shows what they think of their customers, of course now were in the mess they want us to be fans again

As far as i can see we have had a complete change in policy, fro buying the best up and coming British talent to buying continental imports. the flow from the academy has drained up over the last few years, other that Jack Stephens

If only we had that much power

Worst than that, Branfoot only had one good player and eventually he had to play him This bloke has the players but sticks to the same rigid system, changes the players BUT NOT the system, its madness

Sack him tonight, bring Strachan in on short contract, play guys who care no matter how good if we go down lets show some fight, today was almost as bad as Fratton last time we went down Gutless from top to bottom

no protests because the hardcore have been swamped with the brainwashed customers who believed in all this "we March On" crap. does not seem to be pc to protest these days shame to say after 56 years of support, will be 64 in April, getting to the point where i do not give a f*ck because of the way football has gone both in general and more importantly at Saints Was happy to protest against Branfoot and Rupert but with this lot from Guan down i see no point they do not care unless it becomes personal aimed at them, they are hanging the manager out to dry(yes he is useless but they appointed him
