lickierambert Posted 13 August, 2019 Share Posted 13 August, 2019 It might be my advancing years but I have absolutely no recollection of last year's competition.

JRM Posted 13 August, 2019 Share Posted 13 August, 2019 All the minnows will be looking at the list hoping to draw us or West Ham for a money spinning glamour tie. Could do with a kind draw to get us back to winning ways. We'll probably get Crystal Palace at home and lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericb Posted 13 August, 2019 Share Posted 13 August, 2019 There's literally only one game proper Saints fans should want, and that's the inbreeding fish f*cking Skate c*nts at Fratton.

Crawley Would be my picks, working in London and based on grounds I've not been to...Pompey I probably wouldn't be able to get to, so not bothered by that apart from it would be nice to beat them - though not 100% we would roll them over right now...

Of course we f*cking should, in my lifetime we've played them 13 times, even if you go back to the 60's it only just makes it into the mid 20's. Any win against those c*nts should be celebrated for years, who gives a flying f*ck what division they're in. Did you celebrate any less when we beat them in 96, or in 84?

Bad Wolf Posted 13 August, 2019 Share Posted 13 August, 2019 Skates would be a terrible draw, particularly at Nottarf Krap. We'd get beat and never hear the end of it. West Country team away would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedArmy Posted 13 August, 2019 Share Posted 13 August, 2019 We have nothing to gain and everything to lose by drawing them at the moment. Dell sized mentality. We had players in our side in 2010 that went on to play at the highest level (international and Champions League) and they smashed us because the rest of our squad got outclassed in the end. They haven’t got a single player that will reach those heights, we would embarrass them home or away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Anyone who thinks _______________ is not a true _________" is on par with "That was Hitler's logic" as incredibly arrogant and ignorant. As stated above, I'd much rather have an away game against a team I can get to. So I can actually go and watch it...How that makes me "not a true Saints fan" is beyond me.
