S-Clarke Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 If they can beat City they can beat us. They beat Bournemouth 3-0 and West Ham 3-1 as well.
Pamplemousse Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Positive thinking - an embarrassing defeat to Wigan would surely see Pellegrino get the sack?!
S-Clarke Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Positive thinking - an embarrassing defeat to Wigan would surely see Pellegrino get the sack?! TBF it would be wayyyyyyy too late for any change to make an impact! we'd be well into march.
Katalinic Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 If they can beat City they can beat us. Dunno, it was freak result tbh.
CB Fry Posted 19 February, 2018 Author Posted 19 February, 2018 Presumably we'll be on the BBC as fourth choice tie.
Bad Wolf Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Dunno, it was freak result tbh. They beat two PL teams to get to the City game.
trousers Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 They beat Bournemouth 3-0 and West Ham 3-1 as well.About time their good fortune ran out then...
danjosaint Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 TBF it would be wayyyyyyy too late for any change to make an impact! we'd be well into march. Even then he wouldn't get sacked
Pamplemousse Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 They couldn't beat Portsmouth at home earlier on in the season, so this should be a doddle.
beatlesaint Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Presumably we'll be on the BBC as fourth choice tie. I expect it’s already been picked as the tv bods would have assumed City would beat Wigan
S-Clarke Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Trouble in the away end, advertising boards being thrown at stewards and all sorts.
Jonnyboy Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 So a very high pitched voiced makes a gravelly voiced man sound high pitched. Teehee You find Paul Cook to have a high pitched voice? Id like to hear your wife.
Saint IQ Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 This is going to be the longest 10 minutes in the history of mankind
Katalinic Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 They beat two PL teams to get to the City game. I meant that game - 79% possession for City etc. Will be tricky for sure but assume we will play our strongest side, whatever that is.
Guan 2.0 Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Positive thinking - an embarrassing defeat to Wigan would surely see Pellegrino get the sack?! TBF it would be wayyyyyyy too late for any change to make an impact! we'd be well into march. On the flip side, it could spur the board in to action. Ralph might look at the fixtures, clear the 5 pledges from his desk, and realise that any new manager could be offered a realistic shot at a up final. Speaking of which, what are the rules regarding euro places? Does it go to runner up, or revert to league position? Because that could seriously impact the board position on the manager. The chance to turn a disastrous relegation bound season into a campaign to secure european football via the worlds oldest cup competition might be the only thing besides fan pressure that could shift pellegrino, and hand them a winning PR motive for breaking them out of their current mindset.
Micky Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Positive thinking - an embarrassing defeat to Wigan would surely see Pellegrino get the sack?!Given the teams they have already beaten, it would be no embarrassment whatsoever. In fact they'll probably start as favourites. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Only the winner gets a European place. If the winner has already qualified for Europe, it goes to the 7th placed league team.
Wes Tender Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 That was very kind of the ex-Skate manager to put the best team in the land out of our path to the Cup.
Gemmel Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 I meant that game - 79% possession for City etc. Will be tricky for sure but assume we will play our strongest side, whatever that is. That's the problem - HE still doesn't even know who his best 11 are.
Ade Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 We could do a 'Wigan', win the FA Cup and get relegated in the same season. Not sure if I want that tbh......but I'd take it
Lighthouse Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 No Europa League place for the runners up anymore. Winner should get the 4th Champs League spot IMO. The only way to get people to take it seriously.
Cabrone Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Semis suddenly looking good. Wigan is tricky whereas Citeh was no chance. That was a one off, we need to seize this opportunity.
Maggie May Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Wigan were excellent tonight. The focus will be off us for the tie but you've just got to hope we don't drop out with barely a whimper.
Matthew Le God Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Semis suddenly looking good. Wigan is tricky whereas Citeh was no chance. That was a one off, we need to seize this opportunity. If Wigan can beat City, why declare Saints as having no chance? It would have been extremely difficult at the Etihad of course, but declaring it "no chance" is clearly nonsense.

I wish; most of us wish - but it's wishful thinking, isn't it?
ScottishSaint79 Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 What sort of allocation would saints get there? 10 per cent in fa cup isn't it? Although Wigan don't sell out ground so maybe larger than 10 per cent if the club want it?

Andy Durman Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Never celebrated a win quite like that. Lived every second and just new Wigan would win. Amazing game of football. Believe anything is possible.
Saint_Tony Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 it's a better draw than City but Wigan will still fancy their chances against us Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
simo Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 How many chicken's do you recon we'll get out of them eggs ?
SW5 SAINT Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Top of the League 1 against bottom(probably will be by then) of the Prem........
simo Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Top of the League 1 against bottom(probably will be by then) of the Prem........ I think it may give the players a lift knowing we have Wigan rather than City to beat for another trip to Wembley!
Roboze Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Wigan will deservedly turn up with balls the size of melons, and fair play to them! but if we can contain their initial enthusiam, no reason at all this is not winnable! COYS
Badger Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Fifth round - WBA away Qtr final - unexpected opposition from Third Division(L1). 1976 all over again.
trousers Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Wigan have a mid-week game before the cup weekend.
Badger Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Wigan have a mid-week game before the cup weekend. At least that might prevent a Friday night fixture then.
Lighthouse Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Wigan were a team high on confidence, playing at home against 10 men. 3 key elements in their favour we wouldn't have had at the Etihad. Not saying we couldn't beat City in the quarters but I think it would have been less likely personally.
stknowle Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 How many chicken's do you recon we'll get out of them eggs ? Dunno but I'm sure Colonel Saunders would take every one of them right now.
LGTL Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 What is up with some of you lot? We are Wigan away from the semis at Wembley and then who knows? It's been a rubbish season but this is a lovely distraction. We'll get the whole end behind the goal like City did, about 4000 I think.
CLOTH EARS Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 That result tonight may actually help Saints season, it will give our players a real boost knowing that they have more of a chance of reaching a semi final at Wembley. HOPEFULLY we can get a few positive results in the league before the Wigan game. Wigan will be more adventurous against us and that will actually help us i believe.
Saint-Fred Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Fantastic..whilst it's a tough tie..it's better than man city away...
Chez Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 wigan played well, but absolutely no reason why we can't win if we play our best. I was at bramell lane in 2014, so know only too well how to **** up a great opportunity in the cup, but right now prefer to think positively. We have a better chance of winning the cup now than we did before tonight. Happy days.

ericb Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Fifth round - WBA away Qtr final - unexpected opposition from Third Division(L1). 1976 all over again. Don't you go getting our hopes up!
LGTL Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 Chances of this being on the weekend? Be ****e if they stick it Friday or Monday but it'll be on the BBC (probably) and they seem to have a habit of it.
Saint86 Posted 19 February, 2018 Posted 19 February, 2018 We are going to Wembley. I had a funny feeling during the west brom game. After all the goal line clearances and woodwork. Bet on us beating wigan because we will.
