Glasgow_Saint Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Guly still here on Jan 5th ? maybe not, he hates winter and he sure ain't going to get much PL game time, imagine his baggage is already packed. Good ridance

Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Will be one on the boring sunday lunchtime KOs on ITV no doubt
ericofarabia Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 At least we can focus on the league after that game Jos, Schteeeeeeeeeeeeeve, Chappers and Guly will tear Chelsea a new one FFS.
Whitey Grandad Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Bugger. Any chance of it being on Monday 7th?
Thedelldays Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 So boring. why is it so boring...nearly every tie is so boring when drawn if you think this is I would say, saints at home to the European Champions is a great draw...a chance to turn them over and they are hardly playing that well at the mo
Saint_Jonny Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 why is it so boring...nearly every tie is so boring when drawn if you think this is I would say, saints at home to the European Champions is a great draw...a chance to turn them over and they are hardly playing that well at the mo Exactly. We aren't likely to play a weakened side but they are (especially if they are still in the CL, which is unlikely I know). Plenty will turn up, they will fill their end, it'll be a laugh. Love the FA Cup.
DJ_TOAST Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Pleased with that, should be good game, if we go through great, if we don't great aswell as less extra games to worry about.
Window Cleaner Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Pleased with that, should be good game, if we go through great, if we don't great aswell as less extra games to worry about. Club will be pleased as well,32K at top whack=a lot even if we do have to give half of it to Chelsea.

Much prefer a team we haven't played before and a trip to a new ground. If we charge around £30 a ticket for this I won't be going.
The Cat Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Club will be pleased as well,32K at top whack=a lot even if we do have to give half of it to Chelsea. Would we sell out for it? We didn't against Man Utd which was a bigger game considering we were in a lower league at the time.
VectisSaint Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 At least we're at home, that's chelsea twice in quick succession. When is the rearranged Chelsea league game? Thought I would look it up on the OS, silly me, its not listed :-(
S-Clarke Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 When is the rearranged Chelsea league game? Thought I would look it up on the OS, silly me, its not listed :-( I was pretty sure it was in January, but I also cannot see it listed anywhere now.
VectisSaint Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 I was pretty sure it was in January, but I also cannot see it listed anywhere now. No, looked on BBC and Chelski, perhaps its not arranged yet, I guess it would have gone on the free FA Cup w/e in Feb but thats impossible now.
View From The Top Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Can't be arsed travelling down for that. It'll be on the box as the holders always are on 3rd Rd day!
ericofarabia Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 I was pretty sure it was in January, but I also cannot see it listed anywhere now. To cut back on the amount of games we play, they should agree to double up this fixture, winner gets 3 points and next round of The Cup. A draw is not an option though so extra time and pens if needed!!

Much prefer a team we haven't played before and a trip to a new ground. If we charge around £30 a ticket for this I won't be going. but having risen from league 1...there was a massive chance we would get a team we have "recently" played anyway
ludgershallsaint Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 No, looked on BBC and Chelski, perhaps its not arranged yet, I guess it would have gone on the free FA Cup w/e in Feb but thats impossible now. I'd have thought we'll be playing them at Stamford Bridge on 3rd round replay night. Might be a replay, might be a league game..... Would seem to make sense.

david in sweden Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 In Rafa We Trust. YES , let's hope he continues being consistant.......(ly) bad.
david in sweden Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 No, looked on BBC and Chelski, perhaps its not arranged yet, I guess it would have gone on the free FA Cup w/e in Feb but thats impossible now. Chelsea are due to play the World Club Championship (or whatever FIFA calls it now)...so it was postponed earlier in the season. No new date yet.

Maggie May Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 This has shades of the 2003 cup run. Two matches in succession against a team with an under fire boss, should be televised too.
Dr Who? Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Not that fussed, but I can only remember getting a non league team in the cup once. I know it is unlikely as not to many get this far, but we were in league 1 for 2 years. The team we got were Luton Town as well.
Miltonroader07 Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Portsmouth.... Wait a minute their not in it ha ha ! No 1 Post in December
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 So boring. Classic response. We have just pulled the current European Champions and Cup holders and its "boring". Proof, if it were needed that something has gone seriously wrong with football. I wonder who will be managing them?
VectisSaint Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Chelsea are due to play the World Club Championship (or whatever FIFA calls it now)...so it was postponed earlier in the season.. Yes, thank you we knew that, we were looking for the rearranged date, think that was pretty obvious from my response :-)
LeBenali Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Pretty sure this will be on tv, its almost a certainty that they show the holders 3rd round game each year.

Proof, if it were needed that something has gone seriously wrong with football. I wonder who will be managing them? I wonder who will be managing us? It is though a reflection on modern day football, I really don't know what would not be classed as boring by some on here. I guess if it is so boring the Club will not bother opening the ends or the Kingsland for the game, just use the Itchen.
Stud mark of doom Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Great draw. Can't believe some of the reaction. Outside chance of a famous win and, if not, can focus on staying in the prem.
aintforever Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Well we should be a bit fresher than Chelsea, we've got 5 games between now and the game, they have 7 plus a trip to Japan for the club world cup.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Any team in your own league is a dull draw because we will be playing them twice this season anyway. Much prefer a team we haven't played before and a trip to a new ground. If we charge around £30 a ticket for this I won't be going. your spoilt! league 1 to premiership in two seasons, we have played almost the whole football league at least twice in the last three years and you complain about having to play chelsea ?
Badger Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Pretty sure this will be on tv, its almost a certainty that they show the holders 3rd round game each year. Agree. West Ham v Mancs, will be a tv match as the media believe everyone wants to watch manU, Chel Town/Hereford v Everton for the romantics. Saints v Chelsea = holders, possibility of an 'upset' for the mediadarlings, and most of all the prospect of more humiliation heaped on Benitez. Great draw. Can't believe some of the reaction. Outside chance of a famous win and, if not, can focus on staying in the prem. Again, if we lose so what ? No disgrace in losing to the European Champions, the league is more important. Rather go out this way than to a Stockport or Tranmere. But no b0ll0cks, a good cup run is good for morale and I want another cup final. Well we should be a bit fresher than Chelsea, we've got 5 games between now and the game, they have 7 plus a trip to Japan for the club world cup. Hate to ruin your theory but they might have a larger squad of players who are actually up the premiership standard to draw from though.
L1Minus10 Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 £20 a ticket - will go. £25 a ticket - might go £30 + a ticket - armchair fan
Ziggy Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Can't be arsed travelling down for that. It'll be on the box as the holders always are on 3rd Rd day! Same here. Can't see me bothering.
Saints foreva Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 why is it so boring...nearly every tie is so boring when drawn if you think this is I would say, saints at home to the European Champions is a great draw...a chance to turn them over and they are hardly playing that well at the mo I'd have liked a lower club away from home, never really liked getting clubs you already play in the league twice in the 3rd round of the F.A Cup. Plus I fully expect tickets to be overpriced, so doubt it will sell out.
Horton Heath Saint Posted 2 December, 2012 Posted 2 December, 2012 Can't see Rafa still there when we play them. Fact.
doddisalegend Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Meh would rather have a cup game against someone outside the PL. Still no doubt we will put out a **** poor second string backed up by a bench of 16 year olds anyway so we can concentrate on trying to finish 17th in the PL.
david in sweden Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Yes, thank you we knew that, we were looking for the rearranged date, think that was pretty obvious from my response :-) OK keep your shirt on Vectis, I must have missed that, and I was only " trying" to help....
david in sweden Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Great draw. Can't believe some of the reaction. Outside chance of a famous win and, if not, can focus on staying in the prem. me too....the most successful cup side from last season and people are not interested.
doddisalegend Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 me too....the most successful cup side from last season and people are not interested. We will play them twice this season anyway. No doubt both sides will put out a second string of fringe players and youth anyway and both clubs we see it as an interfernce to their league ambitions this will transfer to the fans for a flat atmosphere at SMS....just can't get that excited about it.

I bet we don't put out a 2nd string side at all. Maybe 2 changes... 2nd string side at home to the European champions Don't think so
derry Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 They should call it the Reserve Team FA Cup. Our record in the cups of playing weakened sides completely devalues the interest. Unless it's cheap especially if it's on tv I think they will get a half full stadium. It's not worth paying for a devalued product.
spyinthesky Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 £20 a ticket - will go. £25 a ticket - might go £30 + a ticket - armchair fan Bill I think a lot of Saints fan will call it this way Unfortunately I can see £30+ being the ticket price although possibly tempered with a deal for kids Chelsea will probably sell their allocation so this should push the crowd just above the 20,000 mark. # Sincerely hope I am wrong A lot may depend on whether we are on a good run in the League. Re distribution of gate money, isn't it split 3 ways between the two clubs and the FA?
Sour Mash Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 They should call it the Reserve Team FA Cup. Our record in the cups of playing weakened sides completely devalues the interest. Unless it's cheap especially if it's on tv I think they will get a half full stadium. It's not worth paying for a devalued product. We'll put out a full strength side I reckon, can't see us resting players for a game against Chelsea. Tickets will be over £30 without a doubt.
JRM Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 remember Chelsea are entitled to a bigger allocation over 4000 and they'll bring the whole lot, block 42 will have to relocate. hopefully sensible £25 tickets and an interesting game.
