I'm sure it's already been discussed but why weren't we given a bye? I can only assume it's random.

[Iowsaintsfan]

its coz we got a bye last year and you dont get it twice in 2 years

[Benali Saint]

Bet we get Boremouth

[beatlesaint]

Bet we get Boremouth

 

You could virtually guarantee it ;-)

[Shroppie]

Bet we get Swindon.

[Saintmike666]

Aldershot at home please!

[Thedelldays]

dagenham at home...then the usual can say that it is a rip off to go and it will be a record low attendance..then on the day it actually wont be

[JRM]

and then we can all say well done NC thanks for ripping us off again, not that you'd go yourself anyway. Technically dagenham at home is impossible as we are in the south west group, but getting a west country minnow at home like hereford or torquay how much would you say is acceptable Inc ticket tax?

[itchen_dan]

I think it'll be Exeter away.

[Thedelldays]

anyone see the howler by alan bennett...lol

[Paul Chuckle]

Nice round of applause for Liebherr and Stansfield on Soccer AM just now.

 

Chamberlin looked like she was welling up when she said 'this week football has lost 2 friends'

[JRM]

its irrelevant where your going to be, point is you wont be at the game so its easy not to care about pricing (or agree its right when you have no intention of paying it yourself). In the context of this thread we don't even know what the prices would be anyway, it would just be nice if it is a home draw that some sense is used. i hope we get aldershot as at least a local game would make it more of an occasion.

[Um Bongo]

Would quite like Oxford or Aldershot please.

well..if you wont be going (by the sounds of it you wont be if the price is too high) then what is your problem..?

you've answered your own question. If saints make tickets say £5 for season ticket holders i probably would make the effort for my 2 hour journey down, just get the feeling the club is intent on milking as much money from its most loyal fans as possible, i'll still probably go but will resent it if its say £15

if they make the tickets £3..I may go if I am still here...will make up for the £50 petrol it costs...

[saints_is_the_south]

Draw about to be done any minute now.

[saints_is_the_south]

Southampton vs Swindon

[Tractor_Saint]

Saints v Swindon

[Um Bongo]

We have Swindon at home.

[andysstuff]

Home to Swindon - not bad.

[Griffo]

We have.. Swindon at home. Yawn.

[Thedelldays]

saints v swindon...

 

another home game lol

[Turkish]

Swindon, look out for £20 tickets people.

[Cestrian Saint]

That's us out in the 1st round then. lol

[itchen_dan]

Tough game. Is it only me who wants us to take it seriously again? I'd love to go back to Wembley and regain the JPT!

[Thedelldays]

I hope we go out.....or at least, rest key players for the cup games

[SO16_Saint]

Bet we get Swindon.

Nope, me too! Would love another day out at Wembley and at the end of the day its a trophy kept in the cabinet. League should obviously take priority but if we can get home draws all the way through again then no reason why we can't win it again but by resting key players.

Would be quite cool to win it again, get promoted and to remain forever unbeaten in the JPT. A win against Swindon would be nice as well, shut all the farmers up.

[Smirking_Saint]

Hard draw but winable

[ChrisPY]

Win it with our reserves. No point sticking out a full strength team when our priority is clearly the league. Last season promotion would have been a bonus but this season it's a necessity.

WIFM

[beatlesaint]

This is the only cup comp we have a realistic chance of winning so I dont see how going for it would impact on our promotion chances.

Its only 6 games inc the final after all.

[ohwhenthesaints]

Good chance to knock one of the better teams in the South out early. Let's hope we don't start as slowly as we did against Torquay though...no Papa to save us now.

[JRM]

Might as well go for it, play a mixed team of some 1st teamers and youngsters with some stronger players on the bench, i think swindon played a weaker team in some of their games in this last year as well so we might get away with resting a few.

[Whitey Grandad]

We should not be afraid of anybody. They should be scared of us.

[Arizona]

I'd expect Saints to win that one in all honnestly. Yes they beat us twice last year, but we were sh*te in both games and they have lost a lot of players since then. No fear, no negativity. I know the focus should be the league, but there's no reason we can't win the JPT along the way. How many times have Man U, Arse and Chelsea done a League and cup double? None of them have a squad of 50 players.

 

I hope we d*ck them in revenge of last year.

[Jonnyboy]

no I wont be going..I will be off fighting the war on terrorism.....HTH

 

sucker

[Thedelldays]

sucker

 

eh...how so..?

[buctootim]

no I wont be going..I will be off fighting the war on terrorism.....HTH

 

Do you get a lot of terrorism 100m under the Atlantic?

[Thedelldays]

Do you get a lot of terrorism 100m under the Atlantic?

 

great...if you know where im going..can you tell me when im coming back..?

[buctootim]

Just an educated guess. I couldnt see a submarine doing dawn raids in the Hindu kush. Happy to be corrected though.

hmmmmm.....do some joined up thinking...

what we can do that I will say on here..

 

launch cruise missiles that are accurate within 2 meters and can be fired over 1000 miles away..

deploy and extract special forces

ISTAR - Inshore Surveillance Targeting And Reconaissance

Security/barrier ops

 

plus other capabilities that dont need a mention on here....as well as traditional roles of patrolling the deep (like im sure you mention)

 

anyway....we will beat swindon IMO..I dont think they will be a good a team this year

[Saint_clark]

I hope we go out.....or at least, rest key players for the cup games

 

Ridiculous outlook. Yes, I hope we rest key players - but I never hope we lose. If we can win the cup again playing youngsters and back up players, then f*cking fantastic.

[doddisalegend]

No one has ever won the JPT two years in a row it would be a nice little bit of history for the club. Promotion from the league is important but I'd like us to try and win the JPT again it's the only one we're realistically in with a chance to win. Trophies in the cabinet is what it's all about at the end of the day.

 

Plus I really want us to smash ****ing Swindon worst match I saw last season was Swindon at home.

They must have some fekking big rivers/Sewers in Afghanistan... s'all I'm saying.

 

[SuperMikey]

Winnable game, if we get the bigger teams out of the way first it means that we could end up playing somebody like Aldershot or Oxford in the Semi-Final, which would make it easier on ourselves.
