Badger Posted 3 January, 2018 Posted 3 January, 2018 Annoyingly I can’t think of any catchy chants that work well witch sacking pellegrino for this game... any other takers? Down with Pelgrano We're going down with Pelgrano.. Is that sufficiently bad taste ?

I think he might be learning a few a new swear words he can take home to repeat to his mother !! Is my last Southampton game before heading back to Uni so I'm planning on venting all my anger out. Apologies in advance.
trousers Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 In the absence of a match build up thread, I thought I'd post this here.... I'd go for.... McCarthy Valery - Hoedt - Bednarek - McQueen Lemina - Slattery Hesketh - Boufal - Sims Obafemi Subs: Rose, Yoshida, Bertrand, Romeu, Tella, Johnson, Afolabi Fulham 1 Saints 3 (Hoedt, Boufal, Obafemi)
Jack Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 5 of us are going but are more interested in getting out for beers with the boys than the football. Shame really.

Chez Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 As always I hope we put our strongest side out and I see no reason why we don't. It might be the last time we have a `premiership quality' team that we can put out in the cup should we be relegated, so let's bloody go for it. Struggling sides like Brum and Wigan have got to cup finals and no reason why our own cant do the same. I am not sure when Soares is going to be back, but if he is not far off then a cup game might help him back to fitness, so beneficial.
100%Red&White Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Gabbiadini should get 90 minutes, start at least, but us off a crucial home defeat, them off a big home win, they'll fancy it and we'll need a strong line-up. What could go wrong?
Appy Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 5 of us are going but are more interested in getting out for beers with the boys than the football. Shame really. Same here. We should play our strongest team, not that I know what that is at the moment.

VectisSaint Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 #SaintsFC boss Mauricio Pellegrino confirms he is without @OficialCedric, @chazaustin10, @wesleyhoedt and @JrmyPied for the trip to #FFC: Mauricio Pellegrino reveals that @Alex_Macca23 will continue in goal for #SaintsFC when they meet #FFC this weekend in the #EmiratesFACup: Cedric and Pied both out is a bit of a bummer, and with Hoedt out as well makes the RB position a bit of an issue (not that Hoedt would play there but Stephens does). May be an opportunity for Valery or someone else from the u23s. Strange that Hoedt is still out, if it was "just" the concussion issue. Good to hear that MP is sticking with McCarthy in goal.
OttawaSaint Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 (edited) He'll play a strong team - we want a cup run (well did, I'd imagine PL comes first now). He’ll probably try and lose so we can focus on the PL and we’ll end up winning. Edited 4 January, 2018 by OttawaSaint
trousers Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Pellegrino: "I will try to use my best 11 to try to win this game"
Sheaf Saint Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Pellegrino: "I will try to use my best 11 to try to win this game" That would infer that he actually knows what his best 11 is, when the evidence suggests he doesn't.
SuperSAINT Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Extraordinary end to #ffc presser as #Jokanovic says no clear Jan targets & could be good option to sack manager if club thinks it's competitive enough already!
the saint in winchester Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Extraordinary end to #ffc presser as #Jokanovic says no clear Jan targets & could be good option to sack manager if club thinks it's competitive enough already! Sorry, can you explain that for us dimmos? I would have Jakanovic on my list of possible managers, so if he's disgruntled at Fulham, all the better.
S-Clarke Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 He's a bit of a hot head is Jokanovic, but apparently the whispers are that Fulham aren't too happy with the season so far, and clearly he's saying they're not supporting him in transfers......so what do they want etc. Interesting! Good manager though, but a bit mental.
Baird of the land Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Hope Hesketh is involved in some capacity for this game. That defence is going to be even more rickety with Pied, Cedric & Hoedt out. I'm guessing it's going to be Bednarek in. Have a feeling this could be very messy.
Simon3737 Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 IMHO: -----------------------------McCarthy----------------------------- ------------Stephens--------Yoshida--------Bertrand------------ Ward-Prowse-------Romeu---------Hojbjerg-----------McQueen --------Gabbiadini/Long-----------------------Boufal------------- --------------------------Long/Gabbiadini------------------------- If we didn’t have a week off after this match, I’d suggest resting players, but I think it’s an opportunity to try to improve/change how we play and play without fear (I have no confidence of this actually happening!).
SKD Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 I can honestly say this is the first game I have ever attended where I have wanted saints to lose. I hope the fans attending (at the end of the game) give the manager, players (depending on who plays) & board an absolute torrent of abuse. I will be win or lose. I'd love a cup run, but if we are being honest we have no chance of reaching the final, let alone winning the thing and a loss tomorrow will only add pressure onto MP and the board to do something. Hopefully losing to lower league opposition will add to the current embarrassment of the club.
Forester Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Would not choose a weakened side in our current position as wins breed confidence. Given injuries suggest McCarthy, Stephens, Bednarek, Yoshida, Bertrand, Romeu, Hojberg, Davis, Boufal, Long and Tadic.

I don't get to many games so the ones I do get to, I want to make count! But I will equally chant and shout at or about the manager and the board.

lloydie Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Saw this on twitter: We want him out, Pellegrino out, And Les Reed you can go as well. From Europeans nights, To relegation fights, We want Pellegrino Out. (To VVD tune) That’ll do. Has to be sung more than OWTS at present. Call me what you want if yo disagree but we need to get the point nailed home so that it starts to affect “the brand” as much as possible so the more we sing the more attention paid to it by the media and then they will have to act. It’s the only thing they same to care about.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 How anybody thinks getting knocked out of the cup is good is beyond me. Worse sides than us have got to the final and some have even won the ****ing thing. **** me, we’ve got some weird customers. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk i get the gist of what some ppl say tbf id sacrifice the cup if it means we stay up and it forces pellegrino to be sacked, over the choice of getting to say the quarters and getting relegated in the process due to the distraction of the cup and keeping Pellegrino in his job. That way, by remaining in the premier league, we stand a far better chance of getting and reaching finals again by staying in the top tier of football for the following years as it allows us to rebuild some of the dross we have. ofc, there are other viewpoints one can have- where one might say the cup is a distraction and increases chance for injuries/suspensions, others might say that a cup run would be the perfect confidence booster we need to get ourselves out of this relegation scrap. but again, this is a forum and everyone holds different views- and ofc everyone wants us to WIN every game we play, but when this game is placed in a certain hypothetical scenario like my second paragraph then views will change Edited 4 January, 2018 by nta786

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk That’s exactly what I’ll be doing, easy to spot, come along and say hello at the end.... if I haven’t left on 70 minutes, that is. Point stands, if getting knocked out of a cup (which we won’t win anyway) means that pressure will be applied to the ****s we have in our board room, I think that’s a small price to pay.

Saint Albert Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 madness....losing Saturday won't see him gone. Club needs a lift thats what Pardew did. Never ever want us to lose a game This exactly. There’s simply no reason to hope for a loss. Pellegrino has survived a horrible string of results and performances. There is no reason to think that if the players lay another egg against Fulham, he’ll get the boot.
whelk Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 play the reserves. last thing we need is a cup run Yeah and bet you won’t be anywhere near Craven Cottage eh sunshine?

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk So I assume you’re hoping that we win the game, our fans go home happy (probably clap the home fans knowing our lot), all is forgotten for another week until we lose at Watford (which would be a disaster). That’s not for me nipper, not a fan of paper over cracks. I want to see little old Doris absolutely raging, with 3 or 4 stewards trying to stop her getting at the coaching staff as the walk off with their heads down. At least that way it might kick the boards arse into gear... after all, as confirmed with Guan, they are really only interested in our image. Hoping to lose is probably a bit strong and silly wording, I’ll rephrase it to I actually couldn’t care less if we win or not.
