Saints FA Cup 2010 Some Kind of Record

[John B]

Is this some kind of Record in five rounds we have drawn

 

Portsmouth Premier League

 

Ipswich Coca Cola Championship

 

Bristol Rovers League 1

 

Northampton League 2

 

Luton Town Conference

 

Perhaps we can beat one from each of the different leagues in one season very difficult to do I would have thought

[oxfordshire_saint]

Good spot, would be interested to know if it's been done by anyone before!

[LaptopSaint]

Barcelona in the QF perhaps?

[St.Thomas7]

If we do get past the skates then a QF against Champions League Chelsea??

[St.Bart -No.1]

Barcelona in the QF perhaps?

 

And Brazil in the final ??????? :-)

No Fulham Europa League in QF and Chelsea in SF

Also there is a bit of a theme emerging here, in the same way as our last Cup Final run in 2003. Back then it was creatures ...

 

Spurs - ****erels, Millwall - Lions, Norwich - Canaries, Wolves, Watford - Hornets. Unfortunately we got shot down by The Gunners :cool:

 

This time we have Occupations ...

 

Bristol Rvrs - Pirates (or Gas Heads!!), Northampton - Cobblers, Luton - Hatters, Ipswich - Tractor Boys and now Fish fiddling gypsies, tramps and thieves

LOL, very good

[JRM]

On a similar topic, when was the last time we had this many cup games in a season? my guess is 1992 when we got to ZDS cup final and FA Cup 1/4 final (with lots of replays on the way)

 

So far we have :

 

Carling Cup

Northampton

Birmingham

 

JPT

 

Torquay

Charlton

Norwich

MK Dons away

MK Dons home

 

FA Cup

Bristol Rovers

Northampton

Luton

Ipswich

Pompey

 

 

if we get through against MK and the skates that would take us up to 60 games for this season!!

[Wurzel]

On a similar theme (was going to start a new thread but can't.)

 

If we beat MKD will we also set a new record as the ONLY team ever to have played in ALL five domestic professional finals ?

 

FA Cup

League Cup

Charity Shield

Zenith Data Systems /Simod Whatever other names it had Cup

Johnstones Paint / LDV / Football League/ Whatever other names it had Trophy

[Minty]

Done it for you...

So there are good points being in League 1 then;)

ST holders will have gotten excellent value for money this season then! I wish I could have joined in and bought one.

[Right sider]

We have done something this season in the cup that we have not done since 1976, but what?

And most of these at home! Great that the fans have had the chance to show the new owners their passion, and that they have responded by investing the extra gate money back in the playing staff.

Presumably you mean just The Fa Cup .... remain unbeaten?

[Jimmy_D]

Beaten a team from a higher league than us.

Saints also played in the 1974/75 Texaco cup final.

[St Marco]

If we beat Pompey we would of won 5 fa cup games. Which is the same amount needed to reach the final for a prem team.

[hamster]

And Brazil in the final ??????? :-)

 

 

Aha,

 

At what point do we sing the old classic?

 

Brazil,

It's just like watching Brazil

it's just like watching Brazil

it's just like watching Brazil

 

Brazil

I laughed louder at this than almost anything else in my life of nearly 49 years! Well done!

[CHAPEL END CHARLIE]

The last two teams to knock Ipswich out of the FA Cup have gone on to win it - the Gods of football are with us I tells ya .

[gaz]

I know its a big 'if', but IF P*mpy get wound up and we get a bye, when was the last time a League One/Div 2 side made it to the final?
