FFS Arsenal on a Monday night! (though we do not have much luck against them on a Saturday afternoon at The Emirates)

Presume that is for both. Need to see what the Wigan date is, might be on the Sunday, if not then i would be interested.

Just wondering for those who were there, back in the 70's, notably a violent time for football and in particular i think Man Utd was a nasty bunch I believe, was there any trouble before the game, inside and in particular, obviously after we had beaten them, what was it like outside? Would love to ask the same question on the 66 WC Final. Was there many Germans there? Did they have an 'away' end? Too early for crowd trouble? When did football hooliganism officially start?

very underrated player was Beattie, his work ethic was second to none and like you say, was a very good score of very good goals.

considering there wont be trains home on a monday night, it might be that or using your own car and maybe staying. So that would be a nice touch and very tempting, as much as i do not want to be sat next to Barry, with his Saints top, his saints flask and his saints wallet and annoying foam hands, it might be finacially viable. However, i am sure the club will probably use the money to reduce some away fans' entrance before the end of the season.

thought it went and forth alternatively. I remember a Liverpool Arsenal game, maybe League Cup, that just went on and on, possibly 4 replays? those were the days....

you think Wigan would have won at The Etihad? Rochdale won't beat Spurs at Wembley mate, they had their chance and unlike Wigan, they didnt take it.

I dont believe they are awaiting the replays, I mean Swansea v Sheff Weds (who cares) and Spurs are going to beat Rochdale anyway.

its beyond belief how long this is taking.

What to add to the 96 that you're obviously please about?

Steve Wigley Davenport Le Saux Camara and the bloke who went down with every club he played for?? Nigel Quasie (just googled it) and maybe Rudi Skatchel in reserve. That would do it.

Is Titus Bramble still in the PL? he would fit in well.

i mean who really gives a **** anymore. I cannot think of one player who would not off at the first opportunity and who can blame them? We're not building for the future, we have no desire to win anything. It is just about staying in the promised land. Has been since Cortese left the building.

Couple of things. Relatively cheap plane tickets from Southampton to Manchester that weekend, around 103 quid return for one adult and one teen, but found a 44 quid return on the train for Saturday! The other thing I was wondering. If Spurs get to the semi, surely they should have to play it away from Wembley as that is their home ground (currently) and the tie should be played at a neutral venue. Bet it dont happen though!

How many have we sold?

Rephrase alert

That sounds like a good shout, thanks. Good getaway too by the looks of it.

anyone know of: decent pubs in the vicinity of the ground and free parking nearby? cheers

lol. Liability Les and Wreck it Ralph will be bricking it now

you do wonder when the majority of fans actually turn around and say '**** all of this.....' and football then implodes. Personally cant wait for the day.

Yiu got friends? ???

I have loads of pictures from my fanzine days, but you get lost now.

Funny, Murphy was saying how we had not signed anyone in the window and were in trouble. Then Linekar mentions the new signing and Murphy looks a right ****, shuffling his sentence around the words "well, thats good then..." As good as Jim White telling a Saints fans on the radio this morning "how great things were for Saints at the moment..." Where do they get these people from?

Jeez, we've had a few good years, two cup finals, Europe twice (The San Siro FFS!), 4 top 8 finishes. Did anyone ever expect that back at Rochdale or Peterborough? No matter what happens we have done alright (as fans) and now we are going to revert to type. I am not pleased with the current situation but you know what? I'll still go next year, in the Championship or PL. It's the whole game and ethics in general that I am falling out of love with. As someone said, no one is in for the love anymore, they (Ms Liebher included) are just in it for a 'get richer quicker' fix. Thats the lot of them, players, owners, agents and we're the ones paying for it.

there's me thinking that Lowe actually lost us a stadium at Stoneham and SCC stepped in with Northam. As for the academy, really? We didnt have Le Tiss, Shearer, Wallaces, Benali, Bridge.... before RL?
