True. Their most effective player should never have even been allowed to rejoin the club - we would effectively have been cheated out of a potentially lucrative quarter-final tie. If HRMC do the decent thing next week and Brum get a bye to the semis I don't think the club should necessarily contest that but they would have every right to claim compensation from the FA for loss of revenue as, if trading insolvently, we should have had a bye to the 6th Round with all the financial rewards that go with it. And we'd probably have knocked them out anyway without their illegal players :smt023

Would also look terrible. If you going to put another tier over any stand it should be the Kingsland. Would obviously seat more along the side and look aesthetically better, give the opportunity to install more boxes and maybe a big banqueting suite overlooking the pitch and keep the sun out of the eyes of fans in the Itchen! Two-tier 'kops' never work, good examples being the old noisy Holte End at Villa and Arsenal's North Bank - killed some great old 'ends'.

Why would the **** bring his wife to 'this' match? Tax dodging idiot.

Unfortunately just proves some of our fans aren't the brightest, should've stuck with "f*ck off p". Still think the league cup match atmos against the blue-few was better - more edgy/spiteful.

Shout loud tomorrow. If we go a goal down shout louder. Gee everyone up around you, get any slackers involved.

So the message to anyone who wants to spend money they don't have, and then spend some more, just keep spending, then when it all goes pop the PL will come and save the day. Are their fans, as some were encouraging, still going to invade the pitch on Saturday, wonder how the authorities will deal with that?

OK, what time tonight is Fred Dinenage going to report as fact that all this rivalry between Southampton and portsMYTH goes back to that (ficticious) Dock Strike? He's been convincing the blue few for 3 decades now that they're a "big club" when they quite clearly never were, why let the truth get in the way of a good story/lie. :^o

Something like second closest away game this season, will be popular. Millwall given 1,800 tickets. Mad scramble then.

Must have been something in the air last night, a fight broke out in the Kingsland concourse, kept us entertained for a few moments while queueing for the half-time beers!

Funnily enough we were discussing this very thing this afternoon. Should they beat us this Saturday, as they should as we are "Third Division", we should appeal with the 'trading while insolvent' argument with players that should never have been allowed to join them/beat us with. There was also discussion on whether the FA and PL will be falling over themselves to help them, covering tracks/f*ckups/etc., and the thought we may be playing 12 men on Saturday. We were taking guesses at how many players we may end up with on the pitch if we're winning?

It'll be interesting if/when we score tonight.

Given your location I think it's only fair that you collect and bring down all the MK support tonight. You'll still have enough room on the back seat for a case of tinnies for the trip back.

If all goes to plan tomorrow that will be something they could only dream about.

Good on ya, character building. (particularly if it goes to a replay)

True.

We attract plenty of 'family-types', it is totally understandable that they may feel it's not a particularly safe fixture to got to or bring kids to. I think they're f**king mad but it is understandable.

26,000 sold on the first day of 'data-base' sales with over a week to go to the match is very good. Don't panic Mr Mainwaring.

What we need to do is use Mr Cortese's negotiating skills to convince the football authorities/Government that Southampton is the perfect club to 'guinea-pig' the reintroduction of safe-standing. Tuck the aways into a corner and make the Northam a terrace, that would keep everyone at that end. I know it's not going to happen but in an ideal world.

Did Corp Ha-Ha-Ho-Ho write that?! Bolton, Wolves, Hull, Burnley, etc. will go along with that proposal f'sure!

Congratulations.

Tac-tics: "Hallelujah! I'm through after 800gazillion attempts, a cup ticket please" Ticket Office: "Certainly, that'll be £30, can I have your post code please?" Tac-tics: "PO........" Ticket Office: "F**K OFF! SKATE!!!"

Don't worry, we're gonna (have to) build another tier on top of the Kingsland!

Very nice gesture. They'll probably revert back to a shirt sponsor after this 'one-off' shirt, with a lucrative deal as we climb the leagues and should be expected, so hopefully those praising now don't start slagging if this happens. Nice while it lasts.

"Quick, is this the way to the A3?"
