Football Special

That's us fucked then. I remember a terrible Watford team coming to St Mary's a few years ago on their way to relegation and beating us with a geriatric Roy celebrating on the touchline . We have to play Bristol City at home still Fair play to him still having the drive at 78.

100% don't take it too seriously, is money going to Saints Foundation?

Really depends on time, budget etc. I'd recommend combining some pubs with food. Head down Bugle Street, try The Titanic, Duke of Wellington (named after our left back), and Dancing Man Brewery at the bottom of the road, food there is very nice. More authentic experience can be found at the burger van outside the ground

Czech v ROI should be a cracker. Peretz started for Israel and played first half (0-0) game finished 2-2 at FT

Came off at half time at 0-0, another clean sheet for him (game finished 2-2)

Does seem odd to have announced that, organising these things must be a nightmare logistically, we don't need him anyway with Jos the Boss

Starts this evening for Israel away to Georgia

I don't think so, perhaps pre season, must have asked every other keeper in our history and got turned down before asking him

Kit man isn't he? Got to laugh

There are legends and then there are LEGENDS , wow , is he the only keeper there?

Its very poor, yet somehow nearly drew with Arsenal

Shame on you , he's a Saints / Sports Republic legend

Funny looking back, id expect Welington and Stewart to feature again from that line up.

It has to be. As a fanbase we're realistic, if Arsenal turn up and play as they have this season they'll more than likely beat us. But we take hope from games like their draw at Wolves and Mansfield gave them a good game in the last round, magic of the Cup and all that. Very few tickets remain for this game, expect it will sell out by end of the week.

Ground will be about half full i reckon, maybe bit less 13-15k at a guess. Chapel hasn't been opened. Itchen Centre blocks sold to Saints fans and middle blocks of Northam. Centre blocks of Kingsland say "Man Utd End" if you select one of those seats, not sure if people realise that. None of the corners have been on sale. Have they actually confirmed the two teams that will be playing? I've seen a few names added here and there but not one list?
