Noodles34 Posted 19 February, 2018 Share Posted 19 February, 2018 Couple of things. Relatively cheap plane tickets from Southampton to Manchester that weekend, around 103 quid return for one adult and one teen, but found a 44 quid return on the train for Saturday! The other thing I was wondering. If Spurs get to the semi, surely they should have to play it away from Wembley as that is their home ground (currently) and the tie should be played at a neutral venue. Bet it dont happen though!

Sheaf Saint Posted 19 February, 2018 Share Posted 19 February, 2018 Hmm. Penalties. Would we let Tadic take one? I wouldn’t want Redmond to take one. Bertrand Gabbi JWP Tadic Boufal Not feeling too confident about a shootout. I feel a lot happier about one now that we have an apparently competent keeper.

The FA have said both semis will be at Wembley, even if one involves Spurs. They get a "home" draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 19 February, 2018 Share Posted 19 February, 2018 Its a totally ******** draw for anyone other than the "big 4". It means we have to beat Man City (away) then propbably beat another top 4 team in the semis and yet another in the final. Why dont they get to knock each other out? People say its a fix, but logically this is a possible draw. All it needs is someone with some statistical nous to analyse the past 5-10 years' draws and look at significance. I could do that but can't be arsed. feel like it is happening a lot more these past few seasons- look at league cup this year, then fa cup last year. also maybe I have my saints tinted glass on too much but i still feel sky sports desperately tried to make a united vs liverpool league cup final that we didnt oblige in giving!

Ewell Posted 19 February, 2018 Share Posted 19 February, 2018 I am pretty confident that if you went onto the Wigan or Rochdale forums then you would see that they have a bigger pair of balls than the majority of Saints fans. It's XI v XI, a cup quarter final, yes we wont be favourites but anything can happen. Maybe if we travel in numbers and get behind the team they may surprise us.

SFC-TID! Posted 19 February, 2018 Share Posted 19 February, 2018 That should give the players a huge lift. It’s a very winnable game against Wigan and a chance of a semi final Fa cup tie at Wembley. City should have buried them. Very winnable game. Our players should be busting a gut now to raise their collective forms at least 2/3 notches and that’ll help us in the league Is the Fraud MoPo final bound again..??

Charlie Wayman Posted 20 February, 2018 Share Posted 20 February, 2018 Oh that we had one ounce of the guts, determination and fight of Wigan Athletic. No household names, no stars but a team work ethic that we have never had. Last night also showed what a nasty, spoilt bully-boy Guardiola is. Let's hope he gets a FA ban for his lunatic ranting behaviour after Delph got what he deserved. It must be pure hell for a young kid in his training ground. no wonder so few of the City stars can raise a smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Monday is off limits due to FIFA regulations, because it’s an international week. Maybe they will make an exception if nothing else is possible. And Wigan play on the Wednesday before, ruling out Friday night (unless they move it to the Tuesday) Saturday lunchtime could be OK, and will the fact Portsmouth are playing nearby really be an issue? It’ll only be a few hundred fans of theirs anyway. We’ll find out soon enough anyway, they should be announced today or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
