stevy777_x Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Portsmouth please. Not for me, don’t want another distraction from the Premier League. Low key lower league opposition at home would be perfect.
Shroppie Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Portsmouth please.If at home, would be ok, but we so clearly have bragging rights after the last game I'm in no rush to play them again. Any lower league opposition at home would be good Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Daft Kerplunk Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Pompey at home...we owe them a proper battering, no foots off the pedal
ericofarabia Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Pompey at home...we owe them a proper battering, no foots off the pedal No Thanks! The cleanup operation to disinfect the area and replace all the stolen bog rolls and damaged seats would be enough to buy a new centre half FFS.
Shroppie Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Pompey at home...we owe them a proper battering, no foots off the pedalWhat's the point of that? We know we're by far the better team and we've just thrashed them at FP. Let them stew in frustration smarting from the 0-4 for many years whilst they languish in their appropriate level a couple of leagues below us. Why the urge to give them the chance of an upset? We'd be faced with risking our important players or, more sensibly, playing the same team.as yesterday, but then maybe giving them a chance. Either way, it becomes a big distraction from keeping the PL form going. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Nordic Saint Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Pompey at home...we owe them a proper battering, no foots off the pedal +1 Best possible draw.
Pilchards Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Anyone away except the top 3, nobody at home unless they are ****.
tajjuk Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Agree with others, we won't need to play Pompey again let them stew, it would just be a banana skin and Ralph would feel obliged to play a full team. Some lower league team at home would be perfect.
trousers Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Yep, another distracting fixture Vs Pompey is just what we need right now. Focusing on maintaining our league form is far too over-rated...
Whitey Grandad Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 The draw is on BBC1 tomorrow (Monday) evening from 19:35 just before the Arsenal v Leeds game. A home draw for me please, anything not Premier League.
Whitey Grandad Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Pompey at home...we owe them a proper battering, no foots off the pedal No thanks, we’ve stuffed them once, we wouldn’t want to completely demoralise them. Or would we?
doddisalegend Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Pompey at home so we can all go and see the ****s get battered rather than a lucky few. Also dicking them twice in one season would be great.
RedArmy Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 The state of some of the replies. “Don’t want Pompey we’ve already played them” Yes we did, we smashed them 4-0 and it was f*cking brilliant, lets do it again.
stockportsaint Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Shrewsbury away. New ground for me, and most people I'd guess.
nta786 Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 I wouldn’t mind a London team away- well more specifically either QPR or Charlton- feel like I have done Fulham to death now so not them. Or maybe let’s play ‘NORTHampton’ and start a rivalry purely on a namesake basis If not, then it goes without saying that I would like the lowest ranked team at home.
Saint-Reece Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Lowest ranked team at home. Or Pompey at home. Obviously.
Lighthouse Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 At home to someone sh*t and the big teams draw each other, as I usually hope for.
ericb Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Skates at home of course. If they’re in the draw that’s the only side a proper Sotonian should want Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
John Boy Saint Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 When’s the draw? 7:35pm tomorrow (Monday) BBC1 before the Arsenal v Leeds live game. Apparently Saints will be number 11 and our Fishy Friends down the M27 are 27!
Shroppie Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Shrewsbury away. New ground for me, and most people I'd guess.My local club. I've been to the New Meadow (now Montgomery Waters Meadow) but would love to see Saints there. But I can't make the next round, so hope it doesn't happen. As I'll miss it, I'll settle for boring home fixture (Derby, maybe) Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Shroppie Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Won’t be Palace for a change!Fulham, Derby or Norwich then. Or Man City away. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
The Cat Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Pompey, or any ground I haven't been to will do. Would be a nightmare if we get West Brom and Austin scores the winner!
Badger Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Northampton at home. Or a decent winnable away match, that isn't moved to a ridiculous time to suit tv.
ericofarabia Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 People saying Shrewsbury, Northampton etc away .... unless you are STH with about 5 away games on ... you aren't likely to get a ticket. Or likely to get moved to Monday or Saturday Night for TV.
LGTL Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Skates or a ground I haven’t been to. Same as always.
John Boy Saint Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Saints Ladies have picked up where they left off, winning yet again, knocking Cardiff out of the Women’s FA Cup at theirs. In the hat for Monday’s draw where the WSL and championship teams come in.

SW5 SAINT Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 At home to someone sh*t and the big teams draw each other, as I usually hope for. This.....
VectisSaint Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Saints Ladies have picked up where they left off, winning yet again, knocking Cardiff out of the Women’s FA Cup at theirs. In the hat for Monday’s draw where the WSL and championship teams come in. Thing is will they get drawn against Southampton Women in the next round (the 8 time winners of the FA Cup)? They beat WBA 3-1. Southampton FC Women vs Southampton Women's FC could be a commentator's nightmare.
Charlie Wayman Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 the lack of attention they get on this message board is a DISGRACE!!! Why? Quite rightly the main focus is and should be on the Saints PL team, not on political correctness. When the ladies play in the comparable national women's league - Barclays FA Women's Super League - then they will deserve their moments in the sun. At the moment they are quite a long way off that goal. Remember too that the U23's get scant mention on here and the U18's virtually none at all.

SaintZamboni Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Skates at home and the big teams all drawing each other.
JRM Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 I think I'll skip the skates for this round, let's have Oxford away will be decent, then Skates in the 5th round which is midweek this year due to the "winter break". We've got Palace away midweek before the 4th round so no doubt another changed XI so we'll have to draw someone rubbish again to get through. Oxford, Northampton, Coventry, or maybe QPR / Millwall will do. Avoid other Premier league clubs.
SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 5 January, 2020 Posted 5 January, 2020 Middlesbrough away would be my preference, because: 1. I live in Darlington and down the road from the Middlesbrough training ground. 2. If we play Middlesbrough that means they have knocked out Mourinho's Tottenham. 3. We usually do well against them. 4. Away Fans are the most loyal Saints fans and always get behind the team - even when the chips are down. That is part of why our away results have been better than at home for much of this season so far! So, for those who claim that the only proper fans are the ones who want a home fixture, put that in your pipe and smoke it!! Failing Middlesbrough, any of the other Northern teams away from home, though prefereably not Mancs or Liverpool. Any of these though: Leeds, Newcastle/Rochdale, Sheff Utd, Sheff Wed, Hull City, Barnsley, Burnley or Carlisle (if they beat Cardiff). Also: Blackpool if they beat Reading or Tranmere if they beat Watford.

Graffito Posted 6 January, 2020 Posted 6 January, 2020 Skates. The 0 - 4 in September was the best match I’ve been to in years, even though I missed the first 20 minutes of it.
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 6 January, 2020 Posted 6 January, 2020 WBA away. Charlie Austin cupping his ears in front the away fans. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk
Nordic Saint Posted 6 January, 2020 Posted 6 January, 2020 Ok, I’ll bite. A truly loyal away fan would be one who went to every home game no matter where they lived. I agree and there are some who make long journeys to do that. For a fan who's chosen to live in the north to think he is more loyal than other fans because he goes to a handful of games which are nearest to his home is delusional.
Sheaf Saint Posted 6 January, 2020 Posted 6 January, 2020 I agree and there are some who make long journeys to do that. For a fan who's chosen to live in the north to think he is more loyal than other fans because he goes to a handful of games which are nearest to his home is delusional. I don't think that's was what he was saying at all. I read it that any fans who travel to away games are more loyal, in general, than those who don't. I don't necessarily agree with that, because there are many who would like to go to away games but can't for various reasons, but it's a far cry from "I'm a more loyal fan because I live in the north east and go to some games up here when I can".
Lighthouse Posted 6 January, 2020 Posted 6 January, 2020 I'm not sure loyal is the word. Loyalty to me implies that you don't go and support another club, no matter how poor Saints are. I think 'committed' would be a better word for people who make the most effort to travel the furthest.
Shandy_Top_89 Posted 6 January, 2020 Posted 6 January, 2020 Saints Ladies have picked up where they left off, winning yet again, knocking Cardiff out of the Women’s FA Cup at theirs. In the hat for Monday’s draw where the WSL and championship teams come in. Wonder if a home draw against a decent WSL team might land them a game at St Mary’s? I’d be up for it, they are playing so well that they deserve some love, doing Saints proud atm. With regard to the FA Cup, did a mock draw (yes, I’m that sad) and we had the Hamptons derby at home. I quite fancy Oxford actually. In reality we will probably get City away again or something like that.
