I registered just to try and paint us Geordies in a better light given some of the representation here so far but it looks like a few good posters beat me to it! First things first, this game is in the balance. I'm delighted we have an advantage but one goal is nothing. Our defence has been amazing this year but as Armstrong showed in the first leg we can be got at so I'm taking nothing for granted. I'm more nervous for this game than the one down at your place because we've become this team who seem to be talked about as favorites and I'm not used to that at all! We're obviously a club which with masses of money will be taken to huge levels. I have reservations about where the money is from, and I know we've spent already, but right now this team of ours still appears a team of grafters and has many of the former players in it. I would LOVE IT (little bit of self humour) if we won this cup with this team before the mega millions and massive sponsors take over the club. Taking nothing for granted here, I hope we win obviously but I just pray we get through this second leg against you and have a crack at (probably) Man Utd. If it's you that go on to the final I hope you win it. I hope you guys give Nathan Jones a chance, I think he'll get you out of the relegation places. Chopping and changing doesn't always work but Southampton is a proud club and belongs in the Premier League imo. Anyone travelling up tomorrow I wish you a safe journey, hope to have a cracking atmosphere, cracking cup tie and we'll agree to disagree on what we want from the result. All the best for the rest of the season!
