They may well do, and probably should do having accumulated best players on highest wages , its obviously not a level playing field. Just go with the right attitude and give it our best shot. Doesn't help that Saints will likely have one eye on the Ipswich game. Hopefully we get more tickets, have twice as many fans as them, get the moral victory

I dont think we've had the Boxpark before, thats just off Wembley Way on walk up to the ground, can imagine that will be popular. If going by train make the most of Central London, some top pubs around Marylebone where you can get train to Wembley Stadium https://www.boxpark.co.uk/venues/wembley

Weather forecast looks spot on for the beer garden (as things stand , hope it stays that way)

About 6 tickets left, think there's one more small block still to go on sale A lot of people taking a gamble on there being something to play for

This website have been spot on for me last couple of years, they have the special FA Cup shirt / shorts in kids size for a good price, unfortunately wont arrive in time for the semi final though https://www.enjoynewballs.shop/products/southampton-50th-anniversary-football-shirt-kids-size-1-1-thai-quality?cfb=0ba501ec-6433-4fa0-b519-f7b1c1ce2586&ifb=0ba501ec-6433-4fa0-b519-f7b1c1ce2586&scm=search.v39.11003.102.103.104&score=0.25&ssp=&spm=..search.search_1.4

Can't see anything confirmed yet. Its usually done by what side of the stadium we have, so Green Man, one of the fan zones , Spoons by Wembley Central etc as we have West side as usual I'd imagine a lot going by train will have a few central London before heading up, Baker St is usually good as well , tends not to be segregated but doubt any issues at a game like this

Charles and Harwood-Bellis being ex-Man City will be up for this, get Edozie in the mix as well. Would be nice for City to acknowledge the stress and anxiety they inflicted on us taking ££££ for Baz , let us have this game in compensation

Thanks, I think if he'd have got a 2nd yellow yesterday to be sent off it would have been a one match ban, or extra due to other suspensions already this season? Made sense to take him off i think

Going to place a treble on Millwall to win at Stoke, Ipswich to win at Charlton and Middlesbrough -1 vs Sheff Wed for midweek as expect all three to happen #printingmoney

How many more yellows for another suspension?

Yeah their away followings last few weeks have been very poor, they got nowhere near selling out at Charlton and also couldn't sell out the small allocation at QPR on a Saturday, I think if they have 950 left then they've only sold 1000 based on initial allocation they received https://www.bcfc.co.uk/ticket-info/saints-away-set-for-priority-sale/

I missed some of these stats, so we've equalled a record league straight wins i think, how many more do we need to set a new record? Nice to have some positive record breakers after last seasons negative ones

Funny old game. 3 down at Leicester early on, home fans joyous singing "Southampton, its happened again" They're as good as down now, players and fans facing up swearing at each other,about time those players showed a bit of pride to earn a move elsewhere- starting with Millwall at home on Friday night would be nice

Archer could start instead of Azaz with his heavily strapped knee. Ticket sales look strong, fair play big week for our fans , not many left mainly in Chapel block 20. Bristol City traditionally bring a big support to us , not sure how many travelling this time with it being midweek and nothing to play for.
