At home to BLACKPOOL

[MINIBARCELONASAINT]

As the title says........

 

Winnable

[MINIBARCELONASAINT]

4th Round here we come

[Mustapha Fag]

tough but nothing to lose

[MongoNeil]

Winnable but no shame in losing to a prem club. Ideal draw in my opinion.

[La BoIS Saint]

Dull dull dull

[The Majestic Channon]

No pressure on saints , we should be able to give them a good game and if we lose.. never mind

[Castro 1]

I'll take that

[Thedelldays]

they will probably make wholesale changes....play good football too..

 

probably wont be on telly mind...

[scotty]

I'm happy with that, chuffed its at home.

[CitySaint]

date?

[swannymere]

I think it will be a hard game to win, Blackpool have played some very good football this season and i think we'll be lucky to get a reply let alone an outright win.

[Saints foreva]

Doubt the attendance will be anything more than 15,000.

 

Such a boring tie.

[Chez]

brilliant, love the cup, love the draw, great chance of "giant killing".

[scotty]

date?

[scott_saints]

Yawn. I for one, will not be going.

[Thedelldays]

man u v liverpool

leicester v citeh

millwall v brum

stevenage v newcastle

[Saint_Jonny]

Happy with that! Will still be back from uni for Christmas on 3rd round weekend so I can go to this. Good draw, no pressure on us.

 

We are a bigger club than Blackpool, no matter what their league position, Ian Holloway, you C***

[Hopkins]

[dune]

Beating Blackpool is hardly anything to brag about. The fact that they're better than us just makes me cringe.

Ain't you missing another? Arsenal. Leeds???

[Johnny Shearer]

Blackpool play attacking football, so do Saints. I see plenty of goals in the tie.........................cue a 0-0 draw then!

[Saint Fan CaM]

Can't believe how negative some people on here are. We've drawn a Prem team that are playing well and we're at home. They will bring a large crowd. If we strengthen and play to the best of the team ability we shall see a good game of football. It will be quite some feat to beat them, but a loss will be no hardship, so it's a great draw - bring it on.

Edited 28 November, 2010 by Saint Fan CaM

[SparkySaint]

it will be a cracking tie. They like to play football and always look to score. Could suit us very well

[Thedelldays]

true...arsenal v leeds too

[Ewell]

Terrible draw. If you get a Prem team you at least want one who will bring more than 1000 fans to at least make it a decent pay day. Nobody is gonna be inspired by this draw. I bet we only get 16k.

[Redbul]

I was hoping for an away tie, but doesn't matter. Ditto above comments, nothing to lose so let's get into 'em.

[View From The Top]

The decision not to bother driving down for it has already been made.

 

Also means Oldham (A) will be a midweek game.

[Poshie72]

My initial reaction ... its do-able

[benjii]

Lol at the dopey numpties complaining about the attendance already and saying it's boring. Will be over 20k easily unless the price is excessive. Really nice draw that.

[scotty]

last time I saw saints/blackpool at st marys we lost one nil and they had 2 or 3 disallowed.

[Golden Balls]

Happy with that draw. Nothing that exciting on paper but can see it being a cracker. Will be nice to welcome back Ormerod, Euell and Crainie. Hopefully the ticket prices remain sensible and don't go too high just 'cos they're a prem club!

[sidthesquid]

We can sing 'They've got Brett Ormerod'

[Window Cleaner]

and we missed a shedload, Lallana being the main culprit, seems he's moved on a bit since then.

[SparkySaint]

24k+ imo. It'll be a saturday and no one will be shopping anymore. But if you do want to go shopping over watching Saints then you need your head examined. Lets fill the place and get behind the team. We can do this. A Premier League scalp is a Premier league scalp

[ronnie radford's boots]

I can't believe some of the comments on here!

 

Premiership team ( that's them boys, not us in case you've forgotten ! )

Open style of football played by both teams

The chance to "welcome back" some old friends - Ormerod, Euell and Crainey

A chance of winning and getting another payday / premiership team / Wembley visit

 

I'll for one be going and will be glad that some on here won't !

[Thedelldays]

Boring club. boring game. I will stay down the pub

 

how are they a boring club...they are a great story and play some entertaining football..they score about 2 goals every away game too....

We'll get a good crowd but I expect the tickets won't be cheap.Still it has to be better than those gods of football Tranmere and Dagenham.

[OVER THE HILL]

Great draw for us, prem team doing well that plays attacking football.

 

Possible ****ehawks V Skates could be fun as well.

[Badger]

How anyone can describe a fixture involving one of Holloway's teams as "dull", or "boring" is beyond me. No doubt he will give a few rentaquotes in the build up to remind us it would be good to beat him and his team.Winnable fixture in my view,providing we up the tempo considerably from yesterday.

[dune]

Despite us getting a boring club with no fans, i wouldn't have been interested if we'd got a decent tie. The league is what matters and i couldn't give a toss about the cup.

[Dangerous Albert]

Boring club. boring game. I will stay down the pub

 

 

Hope you do. Could be a great game and we need all our supporters and players to be up for it.

[scotty]

was it mcgoldrick that hit the bar in injury time?

Bummers v Scummers.

[Chez]

Beating Blackpool is hardly anything to brag about. The fact that they're better than us just makes me cringe.

 

what makes me cringe is the countless fans on here moaning about drawing a home tie in the third round of FA Cup against top flight opposition. OK its no glamour club, but its the FA cup, we are still in it and we can win this game. "Come to watch united, you've only come to watch united" fits many of our fans perfectly.

[John Cool]

I think it's a cracking draw. It'll be a good game with plenty of goals, probably 3-2 one way or the other. No shame if we lose and quite a fillip if we win.

Thankfully I fully expect the 90 odd percent of Saints fans who never come anywhere near this forum will turn up in numbers to support their team...
