11 million watched the 1997 final - Chelsea and Middlesbrough. Arsenal v Chelsea in 2002 had 6.3 million viewers. Only 5.6 million watched last year's P*rtsmouth v Cardiff final. Statistics seems to suggest viewing figures are dwindling, but I don't believe the FA Cup has lost it's magic, certainly not for me anyway.

Living in Hampshire, I have plenty of Man Utd supporting mates, so I hope we can give them a run for their money. One such Surrey-born, Hampshire-living mate thought that Old Trafford was situated in Liverpool.

I'm just sad the United fans aren't as excited. "But my first thought when it was drawn was how ****ing dull drawing Southampton away is." :'(

Saints' quality 24 hours have coincided with a **** 24 hours for me, so I'd like to thank Adam Lallana for signing and the rest of the lads for today's display, quality.

I thought everyone knew Hitler retired to a Nazi base on the Moon as the Russians were closing in on Berlin?

I do like a bit of 80s synthpop once in a while.

I blame the students.

Bit of a silly question on their part, considering for 10 of those years we were in the same division...

Well since Brighton are 6 points ahead of us in the League and that was my original point then yeah. Don't know why you had to bring Man Utd into it in reply to my original point of being 6 points behind Brighton?

Sorry pal I'm talking about Brighton, I don't give a **** about Man Utd! Thanks for the comedy though.

To be honest, I haven't had a look on your forum yet, Simster, but I will have a look now. Read about your rivalry with Palace a while back, it's a strange one, but has been like it for years hasn't it? Good to hear you don't give a toss about us. You should though, we're catching up with you, only 6 points behind you now...

I think it was William Hill in 2005 or something who accepted a man betting that he would die within a year.

No-one gives a monkeys about Brighton other than League position, Bournemouth seem to hate us but we quite like them, and Portsmouth, well saying we 'pick on them' like we pick on Brighton and Bournemouth is ridiculous as we have a proper, real, and heated rivalry with our fishy friends down the road, unlike the one way thing displayed by other South Coast teams. You really are a clueless idiot!

What about our song 'shoot the Pompey scum'? ... But then what about their song 'he was just a poor little scummer'?

I'm 19, got an L reg Fiesta 1.1, got insured with Aviva. At the time they were doing that thing were you get a month free, and going fully comprehensive with them was the cheapest deal I could find. I pay about £1300, that was after doing a pass plus course, which knocked about £700 off my insurance. Think having a name driver made it a little bit cheaper too. I went into A-Plan in Eastleigh and they were very good in sorting it for me.

I'm guessing you spilt your flask of hot chocolate all over your tartan rug when we scored and that's why you're so annoyed? Cheer up FFS we're second in the League and playing well. Whilst I agree some chants are a bit dodgy, I thought the banter with Tony Roberts was class, top lad for giving it back to us. A Dagenham fan told me he thought our fans were 'superb' in chanting his name and clapping him and that. I'd rather us be a loud support with some rubbish chants than a quiet boring support with no chants at all.

merry christmas

Ps3.

**** that!!

I like those adverts about quick cash in hand lending, then in small print it's like 2700% APR. Anyone who uses these are mugs.

The fact Brooking has complimented Chamberlain's ability and talent is nothing but a positive for me; Brooking knows what he's on about. For the time being Chamberlain is a Saints player, let's enjoy it.

What you gone and done?

I do both of these things... Well annoying innit.
