trousers Posted 3 January, 2010 Posted 3 January, 2010 Keane set out to wind up Saints fans. Sounds like he was successful. Why give him the satisfaction of taking his bait? The more people that try and goad and abuse him the happier he'll be. Think about it.

A bit of a disappointing draw IMHO. Only good thing about it is that we're at home. I guess it's a worse draw for Ipswich. I hope we concentrate on the JPT and trying to nick a play-off place. I'll get excited about the FA Cup when/if we're in the last 8. Would have prefered a big team away.
Arizona Posted 4 January, 2010 Posted 4 January, 2010 I wouldn't rest players for this, especially seeing as it is perfectly winnable. I certainly wouldn't give up on the Cup based on a massive long shot at getting promoted. Strongest team fit please Mr Pardew.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 4 January, 2010 Posted 4 January, 2010 Home draw = good news. Ipswich not a glamour tie for sure, but will be a good test of how far we have come. Happy.

I travelled to the U.K for the first time last season and watched 2 draws and 5 losses including the 3rd round loss to Man United. I've sworn if/when the Saints make an FA Cup I will be there. My plan for this year is simple..and probably stupid. I've placed $100 on us at 300/1 on Betfair to return $30,000. Meaning that if we make the final I can lay off to cover the cost of Flights and a Ticket. My question to everyone is what chances would I be to land a ticket? I am friends with a couple of season ticket holders but my bets are they will want to be there..I know It's not worth worrying about yet..but let me dream!
Tractor_Saint Posted 4 January, 2010 Posted 4 January, 2010 will hill are offering 200/1 on southampton to win the fa cup Amazingly 300/1 on Skybet - Ipswich are 150/1
Wes Tender Posted 4 January, 2010 Posted 4 January, 2010 Keane set out to wind up Saints fans. Sounds like he was successful. Why give him the satisfaction of taking his bait? The more people that try and goad and abuse him the happier he'll be. Think about it. We're just ordinary fans, whereas he was a professional footballer and is now a manager. If he wishes to indulge in petty mind games with us, then who is the smaller-minded one, us or him? I genuinely believe that although it was several years ago now, it still rankles him that Saints thrashed United 6-3 and he was sent off. If he really does harbour any lingering resentment about that, then this is a grudge match for him and if his team loses to us, it will hurt him more than if it were another team. The match does not have any resonance with any of our players, since none survive in our team from that time, but we the fans who were there and Keane could rake over the coals again. If it makes the atmosphere more hostile at the match, that would be to our advantage.
DT Posted 4 January, 2010 Posted 4 January, 2010 v tricky tie and exactly the sort we **** up. not optimistic about our chances in this one.
Scummer Posted 4 January, 2010 Posted 4 January, 2010 v tricky tie and exactly the sort we **** up. not optimistic about our chances in this one. We don't need to **** it up, by rights Ipswich ought to beat us and go through.
RonManager Posted 4 January, 2010 Posted 4 January, 2010 We don't need to **** it up, by rights Ipswich ought to beat us and go through. But we won't - having witnessed the way we've got this far, I believe our name is on the Cup this year - no, really!

I am friends with a couple of season ticket holders but my bets are they will want to be there..I know It's not worth worrying about yet..but let me dream! But if Saints make the final and lose, you will lose the bet and you'd already have brought the tickets and flight over here.
JRM Posted 4 January, 2010 Posted 4 January, 2010 Hopefully they do the pricing for this game exactly the same as the Luton game, £10 for season ticket holders, £15 for non, and £18 on the day, with a decent away following and opening all parts of the ground we'd probably hit 20k+. Despite Ipswich being 19th in the Championship I think we will lose 2-0. they have only lost once in their last 13 games, winning away at Cardiff and Blackpool.
aussiesaint20 Posted 4 January, 2010 Posted 4 January, 2010 But if Saints make the final and lose, you will lose the bet and you'd already have brought the tickets and flight over here. But going into the final I'll be standing the Saints to win $30,000 so assuming the odds will probably be $1.20 to $6 in the final I can take $5000 worth of bets on Southampton, which is all profit, minus the original $100. So that way if we make the final everything will be paid for. Again highly unlikely!

SNSUN Posted 4 January, 2010 Posted 4 January, 2010 Wanted a big team but will take this. I'm just glad we're at home - the next game I could make it to St Mary's for was that day vs Swindon. Had we been drawn away I wouldn't have been able to make it to St Mary's until February. :-) With my missus as a Norwich fan, she now has every reason to come to MY club and support MY team!
dubsaint Posted 4 January, 2010 Posted 4 January, 2010 Hope we well and truly beat Ipswich, and then everyone gives Keane the thumbs down sign, as he gave us when we played Man U on the last day we played in Premiership
Arizona Posted 4 January, 2010 Posted 4 January, 2010 One Mick McCarthy There's only one Mick McCarthy We've got prawn sandwiches We've got prawn sandwiches We've got prawn sandwiches We've got prawn sandwiches No World Wars and no world cups. etc.
West End Saint Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 I think this is a good draw for us at home to a team we hope to be playing soon definatley winnable then who knows 5th round tie with a big club really good chance to progress I fancy us to win COYS
saints_is_the_south Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Ipswich have improved recently but they've only won once away from home & only 4 games all season so we have a good chance. Will be a decent test of how far this current group of players are from being good enough to compete in the CCC too.

explorer saint Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 well i found it 01/02/1974 A Ipswich Town 0:7 but i'm sure it was 7-1? Yep 7-0 David Peach debut as well I think sorry to be an anorak, wasn't there but I was when Alan Brazil scored all 5 in our 5 -2 defeat in the mid 80's
krissyboy31 Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 Yep 7-0 David Peach debut as well I think sorry to be an anorak, wasn't there but I was when Alan Brazil scored all 5 in our 5 -2 defeat in the mid 80's Yes, so was I and Brazil never mentions it....................MUCH!!!
AK Posted 7 January, 2010 Posted 7 January, 2010 Any Ticket news for this match yet ? I did look on the OS but could not see anything !
RedAndWhite91 Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Think I saw on SSN earlier that their keeper is injured, and out for 2 weeks. Could miss the game??
Tractor_Saint Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Think I saw on SSN earlier that their keeper is injured, and out for 2 weeks. Could miss the game?? Yup - that's their 4th keeper loss this season isn't it? W00t.
SNSUN Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Yup - that's their 4th keeper loss this season isn't it? W00t. Loan them Forecast and let them play him against us. :-D
John B Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Think I saw on SSN earlier that their keeper is injured, and out for 2 weeks. Could miss the game??

TijuanaTim Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 This is absolutely one of the best possible draws we could, a team (in realistic terms) only a few very small steps above us. At home as well. I also feel whereas Sunderland players responded (only initially) to that horrible tvvat Keane's bullying, threatening, sombre, over-bearing, intimidating and negative nature, Ipswich players seem to have thoroughly rejected his awful methodology...which hopefully will work in Southampton's favour. Trouble, for me personally, is I will now have a an emotional involvement above and beyond just wanting Saints to win - which will make it all the more sweet when we win, but cannot even consider losing this one. Yes, the Irishman was a very good talent, however he is as far from anything that could be considered a 'good person' as you could imagine around football anyway. His criminal, revenge foul that time is possibly, if not probably the worst thing I've seen in football when you realise it was 100% pre-meditated and then added to that Keane's total lack of remorse. Ipswich is a great club, with a lot of good people and and some good fans. They just made the most unforgivable decision hiring the volatile ex-Celtic/United thug. We'll win - he'll get fired. Now the cherry on the cake will be when Ipswich fire Keane!!
david in sweden Posted 24 January, 2010 Posted 24 January, 2010 well i found it 01/02/1974 A Ipswich Town 0:7 but i'm sure it was 7-1? not the same game the1960's FA cup game was 7-1 at the Dell whilst the 1974 game was a league game away at Ipswich.
