Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 No real "path of least resistance" games left, so I'd be quite happy with a trip to the Emirates and a nice big pay day. I don't want Pompey either. I still don't think they're that bad. Notts County or Wigan wouldn't be too bad a draw...

Matthew Le God Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 No real "path of least resistance" games left ummm...Notts County or a Championship team at home is a lot better than a Prem team away.
Badger Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 Pompey v Saints Sunday 14th February 1.00pm k.o. St Valentines day massacre Al Pardew's St Valentines Day Massacre. I feel a T-shirt coming on.... Actually it would be good to beat the skates before the f^ckers go out of business altogether
Arizona Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 Notts County or Wigan wouldn't be too bad a draw... but still beatable teams, deffo home game against the skates or one of the weaker championship sides. ummm...Notts County or a Championship team at home is a lot better than a Prem team away. There are winnable matched in there. If not the Emirates I'd prefer Derby or Reading at home, possibly Cardiff. I wouldn't expect us to win those matches though.
Crouchie Crouchie Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 thats how you sing owts... listen to the spurs fans
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 When was the last time we reached the 5th round? Prem relegation year?
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 thats how you sing owts... listen to the spurs fans Belongs in a grave yard not a football stadium.
Arizona Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 When was the last time we reached the 5th round? Prem relegation year? Nope, got there two years ago. Got knocked out by Bristol Rovers on TV and some sh*tty League 1 striker scored a jammy free kick against us.
Saint_clark Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 F*ck me, Beckford scores a penalty in the 96th minute to take it to a replay.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 Nope, got there two years ago. Got knocked out by Bristol Rovers on TV and some sh*tty League 1 striker scored a jammy free kick against us. Oh yeah haha, how the hell could I forget that? I was there!
St.Patrik Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 If we get an away draw - hos big is the chanses of getting tickets for me and my daugther to that game ?
Andy_Porter Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 If we get an away draw - hos big is the chanses of getting tickets for me and my daugther to that game ? That's like asking how longs a piece of string. We should get 15% of the attendance , if it's a league one or Championship club you should get tickets easy. Premier league won't be so easy...
kpturner Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 Anyone who wants Pompey in the 5th round has lost the plot IMHO. Who wants to ruin our improving season with a defeat to that bunch? Too risky. I see they only had 10k at the game today - half our attendance!
Leicestersaint Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 Leeds/Spurs at home - actually anybody at home woudl be fine!
kpturner Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 Derby at home please - followed by a pitch invasion!
corsacar saint Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 A home draw, preferably Portsmouth. Sms would be rocking.
70's Mike Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 A home draw, preferably Portsmouth. Sms would be rocking. i must be getting old because i do not fancy playing the skates either home or away , just to much aggro getting to game and away afterwards. lets take 9000 to the Arse or 6000 to Chelsea

Mark`` Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 pompey at st marys. i would think the players would be right up for that 1. can't see us losing at home to pompey either
kpturner Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 pompey at st marys. i would think the players would be right up for that 1. can't see us losing at home to pompey eitherBlind optimism or naive lunacy?
Jimmy_D Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 Pompey will prolly be our best bet of getting though. It'll be a bye if they go out of business before the match after all...
Dimond Geezer Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 i'd like pompey at a mutual ground in later stages ...another cc or lowly prem club first Will they be ground sharing with us by then
Neil Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 Would prefer one of these at St Mary's: Cardiff Derby Reading Notts County/Wigan Wolves/Palace Spurs/Leeds
St Landrew Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 Nope, got there two years ago. Got knocked out by Bristol Rovers on TV and some sh*tty League 1 striker scored a jammy free kick against us. Chuckle. I want the easiest match we can possibly have, and at home. That way we have the best possible chance of progressing, and not tiring out the squad too much. People who want Chelsea, Arsenal, Portsmouth or the like, and AWAY at that, must have a screw loose.
Chez Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 away at Notts County. Not been there yet. Arsenal away would be another ground, how much would they charge for tickets I wonder?
markr27 Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 Whens the draw? And when will it be played? Draw is tomorrow. Ties will be played Saturday 13th February / Sunday 14th February. Hartlepool home league game will have to be put back (always home games, lol)
Whitey Grandad Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 Whens the draw? And when will it be played? Tomorrow afternoon after the second match on ITV. The next round will be played the weekend of the 13th/14th February so the home match with Hartlepool will have to be re-arranged.
maxi_sopez Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 arsenal away would be good, but equally not sure how good it would be for the team to be truly spanked....i would fear the same if it was spurs at the lane aswell
View From The Top Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 City/Chelsea/Arsenal (A) or the skate bas*ards at SMS.
CanadaSaint Posted 23 January, 2010 Posted 23 January, 2010 If we get Pompey away the Skates will probably opt to play it here because they need the money. But we'll get Man Citeh, away.
TijuanaTim Posted 24 January, 2010 Posted 24 January, 2010 The best draw (because of match-up) from a coaching preospective is Derby at home, followed by Reading home...either would be a blessing. Personally to watch - the sailor boys at fartton, but in reality no good for us at this juncture and too much drama.
Torrent Of Abuse Posted 24 January, 2010 Posted 24 January, 2010 We'll get either Fulham or Spurs away (after they despatch Leeds) Skates will get Cardiff at home. Replay of 2008 final, but with a very different Pompey. Four days after the HMRC winding up hearing. Emotional times? Of course, I'd prefer it the other way around: Saints home v Cardiff Skates home v Spurs. Just think of the warm reception for big spending Uncle Harry, former captain of the sinking ship... :)
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 24 January, 2010 Posted 24 January, 2010 I think a home tie is key if we're to make it to the 6th round, but I'll be honest, I'm just happy we've made it this far. Anything else will be a bonus!
NickG Posted 24 January, 2010 Posted 24 January, 2010 without Man U and Liverpool, there are a few there we would have an outside chance of beating at home.
Son of Bob Posted 24 January, 2010 Posted 24 January, 2010 pompey at home.. the atmosphere would be amazing + 1
Block 5 Posted 24 January, 2010 Posted 24 January, 2010 The best draw (because of match-up) from a coaching preospective is Derby at home, followed by Reading home...either would be a blessing. . Derby or Reading at home would give us the best chance of progressing to the QFs IMO. Poopey home or away would be the most atmospheric tie of the round and a guaranteed fixture for the TV people. Goons away would be the best pay day.
Huffton Posted 24 January, 2010 Posted 24 January, 2010 If we get Pompey away the Skates will probably opt to play it here because they need the money. But we'll get Man Citeh, away. THink there is a rule that says you can't change where a game is played for purely financial reasons. Would quite like the Arse or Man Citeh away, new grounds to visit. Not sure about the skates, although they are f**ked financially if they still have any players left I don't think we would beat them as much as I hate to say it. Then again, if they're down to their youth tam by then...
Andy_Porter Posted 24 January, 2010 Posted 24 January, 2010 Want Arsenal away. Can't say how many times I wouldn't want Pompey, I love the derby games but losing again would kill me. Lets leave them for a year or two when we will be stronger.
Andy_Porter Posted 24 January, 2010 Posted 24 January, 2010 Anyone know what time the draw is? I assume we're number one unless they've changed the way the draw works.
voteforpedro Posted 24 January, 2010 Posted 24 January, 2010 Anyone know what time the draw is? I assume we're number one unless they've changed the way the draw works. 6pm draw, we're still number 1. All the numbers are listed on the FA website http://www.thefa.com/TheFACup/FACompetitions/TheFACup/NewsAndFeatures/2010/5RP_draw.aspx
Viking Saint Posted 24 January, 2010 Posted 24 January, 2010 anybody......just happy to be in the 5th round and nobody will relish coming to SMS at the moment.....it's great to be a Saint :0)
