AndyD Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 OK, maybe it's premature but I think I'll say it - if you had to name 1 team? Portsmouth at home for me!
Granadino Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Skates at St Marys This. Or any poor Premiership team at home - Hull, etc.
ericofarabia Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 A bad case of Premature e speculation Also, not taking into account chickens, eggs, baskets and bridges to cross etc, a BIG NO to Skatesmuff at SMS. Don't want a bumper crowd at SMS to contribute to their wage bill. Hope they get knocked out by a small League 1 team (preferrably not Northampton :cool:) away from home so that they don't get any extra revenue to help out their little cash flow problem
doggface Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Would like pompey at home, though it would be very very tough If we could get a result though it would make our season
docker-p Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 OK, maybe it's premature but I think I'll say it - if you had to name 1 team? Portsmouth at home for me! Tempting fate a little. But since you posed the question, Portsmyth away. I love going to their cowshed.
SAR Boy Saint Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Any Prem, with Skates away to Leeds!!
Joesaint Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Would love to see skates loose to some non league side, and would love saints to beat Northampton, and part of me thinks if we were to get a prem side they may field a bit of a second string side as to keep players fit for the prem, someone like wigan or hull, maybe even burnley. My thought, I would hate to get beaten by Pompy. COYR today though and as much as I dont say this much come on Man U!!
Thedelldays Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 pompey would beat us ffs...why want that
Whitey Grandad Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Man U away. Not because I think we have any chance of winning, and I have been to Old Trafford many times during which we have only ever come back with one point, but because I'm sure that any money generated within the club's footballing activities will be re-invested in new players. Failing that, any Premiership team at St. Mary's.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Would like pompey at home, though it would be very very tough If we could get a result though it would make our season And theirs!
Asaint4ever Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Coventry away! wanna go to richo and my best mate a cov fan! coys
benjii Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Pompey would batter us. It would be awful. I would like to get a Prem team away, either in London or one of the big northern clubs. Might as well go out with a bang; no point hanging around in this competition at all.
Matthew Le God Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 (edited) An away tie against Pompey but play it at St Mary's With 28k Pompey and 4k Saints fans in St Mary's to test Guided Missile's idea Edited 28 November, 2009 by Matthew Le God
Winnersaint Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Am I missing something? Are we already in the 3rd Round? There was me thinking that we still had to play Northampton to get to the next hurdle.
Winchester_Saint Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Gotta be Pompey at home! Just imagine the build up/excitement around the city. We would be clear underdogs but if we won...wow!! Still think Northampton will be a tricky test today though. We will have to be very professional and determined
Fan The Flames Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Pompey or spurs at home or Brighton or Staines away
scotty Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Pompey would batter us. It would be awful. I would like to get a Prem team away, either in London or one of the big northern clubs. Might as well go out with a bang; no point hanging around in this competition at all. that seems a bit cynical, anything can happen in a local derby. P**p*y arent exactly brimming with confidence at the moment. And I'd bet Pards wants us to stay in the cup as long as possible; "building a winning mentality" etc....
hypochondriac Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Pompey would batter us. It would be awful. I would like to get a Prem team away, either in London or one of the big northern clubs. Might as well go out with a bang; no point hanging around in this competition at all. I'm not so sure.
hypochondriac Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Am I missing something? Are we already in the 3rd Round? There was me thinking that we still had to play Northampton to get to the next hurdle. I believe that's why the OP said it was premature.
St Landrew Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 I'm always staggered by threads like this. Who would you like in the next round..? Pompey and anyone else in the Premiership or Championship..? Err... no..! The obvious answer is, the easiest team to beat so that we can get to the next round with the least problems, and so get to the Cup Final, where, not unreasonably, I would hope to get the easiest team we can beat there too. Unfortunately, the chances of that happening would be slim, as we would almost certainly be the minnow of the Final. Incidentally, do you think Pompey were disappointed that they had to play Cardiff in the FA Cup Final the other year..? I doubt it very much. I mean, what do you want to do, increase your chances of winning something or losing..? Personally, I rather Saints concentrate on doing their best to get out of League One where, incidentally, there isn't a choice of opposition. So you can see, my priorities are slightly different. But if we are to take the League Cup or FA Cup seriously then I want the easiest opposition possible.
hypochondriac Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 But St Landrew, giant killings are always more fun than doing it the easy way

St Landrew Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 But St Landrew, giant killings are always more fun than doing it the easy way Oh Ok, I give in. What I, or we think doesn't affect the actual team being chosen anyhow. I'd still prefer Saints winning something than losing. After all, in 15-20 years time nobody, outside of Southampton, would remember who we played, in any case.
St Landrew Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 FFS it's a no brainer. Were you agreeing or disagreeing there..?
Huffton Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Skates at home for me, or either Arseanal or Newcastle, Liverpool or Everton away
derry Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Were you agreeing or disagreeing there..? I thought it was obvious, agreeing.
St Landrew Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 I thought it was obvious, agreeing. Excellent..! That makes two confirmed, logically minded, fans then.
Saints foreva Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 We've already gone through have we? Anyone but Pompey home or away. They would still beat us by at least 3 goals imo.
the saint in winchester Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 OK, maybe it's premature but I think I'll say it - if you had to name 1 team? Portsmouth at home for me! PREMATURE indeed. Let's win the 2nd round match before we think of the 3rd round. Although home to Pompey would be good. :-)
Golden Balls Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 I don't take the FA Cup seriously when we're in league one. Therefore I want us to beat on of the big boys in their back garden!!!
SNSUN Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Quite fancy Liverpool at St Marys, add to their woes. Staines Town away gets my vote though, I could walk to the ground!
Glasgow_Saint Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Will most likely get leicester and allow Pearson to show us we made a mistake.
Matthew Le God Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 (edited) Will most likely get leicester and allow Pearson to show us we made a mistake. Although Pearson would have been better than the Dutch pair, if he had stayed and Pearson kept us up we would still most likely have Lowe as chairman. Administration and relegation in many ways was the best thing to happen as it allowed us to shed Lowe and start again with a new owner. Yes, I know its bad to be relegated but we have a much brighter future now than if we were currently in the Championship with Lowe still at the helm not investing.

Thedelldays Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 we would have gone down under pearson too
hypochondriac Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 we would have gone down under pearson too No way to prove that. I happen to strongly disagree (though glad we did in the end!)
Legod Third Coming Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 Pompey at home. Then murder them 4-0.
Thedelldays Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 No way to prove that. I happen to strongly disagree (though glad we did in the end!) well, I would say pardew is a BETTER manager..has more experience and has achieved alot more.. he had to litterally change the entire team this season...I would say that he has brought in better players than euell, DMG, vignal...surman would still get into out team and JPS...
S-Clarke Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 I think we're due a home draw in this cup...anyone at home for me tbh, would like to see how far we can get.
