Micky Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Last night my father in law, who is a Man U fan, was presented with 70 presents for his 70th birthday - my son got him a Man U shirt with Ron and 70 on the back. The family also agreed that he should go to a game at OT, as he has never been there and I was just looking for tickets on line. Then this came up - now, I wonder......!!!!
SamyCM Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Big game, if we lose we can go out with our heads held high. Also it can't be much worse then 2009. COYS

Nexstar Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Southampton: Davis, James, Lancashire, Perry, Skacel, Gillett (Schnederlin, 56), Surman, Smith (Holmes, 69) Gobern, (McLaggon, 56), McGoldrick, Paterson. Subs (not used): Forecast, Molyneux, Wright-Phillips, Euell That was the team back in 2009 That entire team looks ridiculously lightweight, especially at the back. Let's just hope we can keep this fine run of form up!

CitySaint Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 I hope the club, make a sensible ticketing system. Being a season ticket holder I'll be fine getting a ticket, I just don't want the ground full on Man Utd fans. I'd rather only get 25,000
Gemmel Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 It's sad that Markus could not be here to see it. Indeed Whitey indeed. He would have loved to see his team, in his full stadium taking on the best in the Country and one of the best in the world. A perfect oppurtunity to pass on the "Southampton" bug to his family
Jack Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Good draw. No time for a cup run this season. Was hoping for a big prem team away for the day on the lash, but this will do.
Badger Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 (edited) Brilliant! Who wants to watch Cheltenham and Blackpool etc?! I can crack open the face paints, pre-order my programme and take the family to this one The kids will love seeing Berbatov, Rooooonnneeeyyyy and Owen (if we haven't signed him by then). Great stuff. Higher prices should keep some of the unruly sorts away as well :) COYRAWSSM Living in Cheltenham, I did. Hopefully having bought tickets for four of us to watch Saints vChelt. this might enable a sporting chance to see us take on the Mancs. Questionable however if I want to watch those c^nting prima donna's really, but in the back of my mind is the spirit of 1976 that we might beat the bastards. Edited 9 January, 2011 by Badger
lordswoodsaints Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 The one draw I didn't want. A full stadium and why? So our fans can watch man utd? Never understood it Have you ever thought that perhaps the reason why fans come out of the woodwork is because they want to see saints turn man utd over? And not come just to watch man utd. Tbh I can't see how it makes any difference to you,me or all the other regular fans,all the regulars will get their seats and will watch the game,the only difference being they will be watching in a full stadium and we might have to wait a bit longer for a beer. Get over yourself,a paying customer is a paying customer....I think I would prefer an otherwise vacant seat to goto a saints fan rather than a man utd fan who lives in Southampton,wouldn't you?
Badger Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Itchen North open again, not bad. Please no chanting of "Chelsea " or similar if we are losing.
70's Mike Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Lets hope the Hampshire OB take noteof their Lancashire counterparts and we have none of the" North Car Park will not be available to home fans after the game" Keep em in
dannysfc Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 I'l be there and I am Buzzing after that draw v Man U and all I can say is BRING IT ON FERGIE n MAN U!!! COYR !!
lewpylew Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Great draw - I am not expecting them to win but hopefully they'll play well and go out with their heads held high and concentrate on the league. The way they have played lately it will be great for the players to play up against the likes of some of Utd talent old and new. Fingers crossed it'll be on tv too to earn some extra money for the club! : )
Bailey Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 A fantastic draw, so long as it doesn't effect our league form. A full-house is guaranteed with this fixture, so it'll be good to see St. Mary's rocking again. Like others have said, we're in a much better position now than when we played them last time round, so fingers crossed we can give them a game. It's the FA Cup, so anything is possible.
Rorski Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 I don't get all this plastics stuff. Surely we just have a number of fans who do 5-15 games per season, it's just they all come to this one. I don't think it's really people who never come. Agree with this.
SNSUN Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 I don't get all this plastics stuff. Surely we just have a number of fans who do 5-15 games per season, it's just they all come to this one. I don't think it's really people who never come.Exactly. I do shift work and last season made only 13 games in all competitions. I'm off for the 4th round weekend, and will be doing my utmost to get tickets for this.
saintsmike25 Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 What an amazing draw, not only should we have a full house. But there will be NO pressure on the lads at all! And as I hate to say it, some will be wanting to put on a show for any scouts (Not Lallana, the likes of Morgan/Chamberlain). Going into this game, EVERYONE will be working extra hard for the next few games to get to play against Man Utd, Adkins now has a superb incentive for the players. If we do lose, we can concentrate on the league and as long as the team put in 100% there's nothing to get downhearted about. And if we win, think about the confidence that will do to the team, they'll play without any fear against any team knowing that they beat the best team in the country.
Sour Mash Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 A fantastic draw, so long as it doesn't effect our league form.

Like others have said, we're in a much better position now than when we played them last time round, so fingers crossed we can give them a game. It's the FA Cup, so anything is possible. St Mary's was rocking yesterday and has been for the last few home games. Only "bonus" this time will be the usual 4k United taking the p*ss as always, brilliant.
Mattio Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Don't take what I said as an insult... I'm sure you'll be fine, usually they give it to season ticket holders, and then if you are on the system and I imagine by that point it will be sold out. Are you on the system? If so, you should have a chance. I am indeedy used to be a member etc so should be fine, not taking offence at you, just get a bit miffed when people moan about other fans being "bad fans" just because they don't make every game
Tom & Gerry Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Why do we draw them nearly every other year? ( it seems like) I would have liked Arsenal, Chelsea or City just for a change.
simo Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 If only Marcus was here now we are starting to take off I hope his family comes and they are proud of what we are achieving on behalf of Marcus!
harwellsaint Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 reckon our lot will relish this one, keep going in the league , nothing to lose
harwellsaint Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 If only Marcus was here now we are starting to take off I hope his family comes and they are proud of what we are achieving on behalf of Marcus! well said

I hope they don't come along....we don't want people labelling them 'plastic' for coming to see a 'glamour' game... ;-)
adrian lord Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Do you think they'll bring a substitute kit down with them for half-time?
Chez Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 ****in hate united, am I deluding myself when I think we have a chance if we should sneak an early goal?
Chez Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Do you think they'll bring a substitute kit down with them for half-time? can we put a kit together of our own that forces them to wear grey?
SamyCM Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Do you think they'll bring a substitute kit down with them for half-time? Haha good one!
benjii Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 It will be lovely to see Chambo having a run at Gary Neville!!!! He'll just hack him once and concede a free-kick. Hack him a second time and get booked. Then hack him again as often as he wants and nothing will happen.
Legod Third Coming Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Do you think they'll bring a substitute kit down with them for half-time? Top class post!!!
VectisSaint Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 ******, I looked everywhere to see when the draw was. So I missed it, what a boring draw, would have been good to have someone different than Manure again. Oh well all the plastics will be there I suppose, I know I won't be.
Legod Third Coming Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 He'll just hack him once and concede a free-kick. Hack him a second time and get booked. Then hack him again as often as he wants and nothing will happen. And on a sad note, this is why I can't come to these games any more.

SamyCM Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 http://www.redcafe.net/f7/fa-cup-fourth-round-draw-318028/index2.html#post9136007 I think they will be in for a shock if this is their popular perception of us now Agreed, they obviously still think we are the team they played in Jan 2009, I would love to see oxo rip Neville apart!
Saint Billy Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 I dont get all this sh*te about plastics. Many of us live too far away to be regulars, but without the so called plastics you will not fill St Mary's unless you open it up to more Manc fans. So what do you want, more mancs or the place heaving with saints fans? Btw, absolutely brilliant draw!
CLOTH EARS Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Southampton: Davis, James, Lancashire, Perry, Skacel, Gillett (Schnederlin, 56), Surman, Smith (Holmes, 69) Gobern, (McLaggon, 56), McGoldrick, Paterson. Subs (not used): Forecast, Molyneux, Wright-Phillips, Euell That was the team back in 2009 That entire team looks ridiculously lightweight, especially at the back. Let's just hope we can keep this fine run of form up! You are right, that team was basically crap lets be honest! They beat us 3-0 and didn't need to break sweat! We only had 3 or 4 half decent players in that squad and thats why we got relegated. We will give them a much better game this time with our current team. We have much more quality available to us now.
Window Cleaner Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 (edited) Well after the great day out that I had yesterday I thought I might do the next round as well. Seeing as it's Utd and there'll be a scramble for tickets I shan't bother. Do another league game instead. Looking forward to the very unsmug not received my ticket,firkin postie must have nicked it thread though Edited 9 January, 2011 by Window Cleaner
benjii Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 ****in hate united, am I deluding myself when I think we have a chance if we should sneak an early goal? I don't think so. They may put out a weakened side and, even if they don't, they really are nothing special at the moment IMO (with the exception of Nani). Obviously if the likes of Rooney and Berbatov play and decide to play well they should be able to cause us damage but equally I can see Saints scoring against a back 4 including the likes of Evans, Rafael, Smalling... If the back 4 includes Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra things may be a little harder! The key battle will be in midfield and it'll be interesting to see how we line up. We are probably one of the best ever third tier sides and we are probably better than several sides in the Championship. If we catch them on a slightly off day and play well I honestly think we can win this one.
benjii Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 What is annoying is that we are bound to get one of the "star" refs who is on first name terms with all of their players but considers himself above us. Mike Riley did United proud the last time we played them.
Sour Mash Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Who should we rest for this one? With the priority of Exeter away in the league on the Tuesday after?
dubai_phil Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo Today is the 9th Jan. My freebie BA tickets need 21 days advance booking................ Sod it, airmiles it is then will have to sit cattle class intead of oop front Great draw, chance to see how we really stand. Won't win and so we can have a fun day and then get back to the real job. Will give the City a great buzz as well. Go back just under two years and I really thought these days were gone forever. The Saints Are Coming, The Saints Are Coming
Professor Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Last time we played them in the cup in 2009 I had a poor view of the game. Sat behind the player's box and had Rooney in front of me. Those ears are absolutely MASSIVE close up.
Matthew Le God Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 I don't think it has been mentioned, but Nigel Adkins was due to play Man Utd in the League Cup with S****horpe but missed out on it as he moved to Saints a couple of weeks before the game. He now gets his chance.
