Saint_clark Posted 6 January, 2020 Share Posted 6 January, 2020 I imagine if Shrewsbury get through that will attract the cameras, or even Bristol City v Liverpool......Definitely, that tie will be on TV. After that it'll be us if we get Spurs and probably Bournemouth. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 6 January, 2020 Share Posted 6 January, 2020 tough tie. Hope we can match 2003. Spurs will sell the 4k plus tickets, so it should be a decent atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericb Posted 6 January, 2020 Share Posted 6 January, 2020 Sh*t draw. Spurs will go all out for it if it’s them. If it’s boro then we might rest players. Either way I see us losing it and being at home isn’t exactly a help either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 6 January, 2020 Share Posted 6 January, 2020 Well they definitely won't have Saints v Spurs and Bournemouth v Arsenal on the same day, we'd have to play our strongest team to stand a chance of going through. Wonder if they'll wait for replay to confirm ticket details, be good to have cheap tickets again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 6 January, 2020 Share Posted 6 January, 2020 Last time we went to the FA Cup final we beat Spurs on Boxing Day 1-0 at SMS and then in the 3rd round of the cup at SMS 4-0 so if they get past Boro ...........Played them on the next available bank holiday then in the 4th round of the cup. just saying as footie does throw up these anomaly’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 7 January, 2020 Share Posted 7 January, 2020 It was beating Spurs 1-0 on New year's day I think you meant, but yes good omen. Wasn't there something about the 2003 cup run about every team we drew had animal link as nickname, we're still on for that having played the Terriers. Better start planning for Wembley in May.

Shroppie Posted 7 January, 2020 Share Posted 7 January, 2020 With us, Skates and Bournemouth all at home, bound to be some date/time changes. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100%Red&White Posted 7 January, 2020 Share Posted 7 January, 2020 That was a very good evening back in 2003, we just took them apart. If it's Spurs reckon that's a TV game along with Bournemouth and will have to be on separate days, there's no way they'll let a few thousand rivals of North London's finest travel down on the same trains/motorway together. For the record, 24 years ago today, we had an easy 3-0 home win in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'abject surrender' is harsh, but it was a fairly timid performance, as Saints and WGs were still scarred from the drubbing a Highbury a few weeks earlier. Although Saints rallied in the second half with a good shot from Ormerod, and a late Beattie header we didn't really take the game to Arsenal as we'd hooped, and our performances in earlier rounds suggested we might be capable of.

Or you could also look at it from the other perspective, which is that Arsenal in 2003 were a phenomenally good team with Henry, Vieira, Seamen etc... and we restricted them to just one goal, which only came about because of a fluky rebound that could have gone absolutely anywhere but just happened to land at the feet of Robert Pires. And then forced one of the finest saves you'll ever see to deny us a late equaliser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 7 January, 2020 Share Posted 7 January, 2020 of the 16 fixtures only 2 are certain to be games between Prem.sides. Bournemouth v. Arsenal and Burnley v. Norwich. Spurs must beat 'Boro to get to play against us and IF... Watford beat Tranmere they will play Wolves or Man U. that means there could still be 11 Prem. sides in the last 16 if they all won.

JRM Posted 10 January, 2020 Share Posted 10 January, 2020 Skates at home too, so something will have to give, especially as there was a bit of aggro after Spurs last month, so will be more OB We’ve been at home on the same day as the Skates several times so that’s not a condition for moving the game, there’s been at least one occasion already this season and both teams are at home on 15th Feb. What frustrates me is the way cup games get moved around for tv (already 7 games) then moved get moved for “overseas picks”, absolutely no need for that, they are allowed to show live games at 3pm Saturday abroad so just leave them as they are. They moved loads of games in the 3rd round to Sunday then wondered why attendances were down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 14 January, 2020 Share Posted 14 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. Yeah, it's definitely not a loyalty thing. I've done 86 of the 90 now and plenty of those have been watching other teams (including a trip past Leicester to S****horpe on Saturday). The bestestest fans are the ones who move to Southampton from someone else, FACT and also TIED nyah-nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the 1231 kos in round 3 were overseas tv only, including Millwall v Newport (which I went to instead of Saints v whoever oh yeah Huddersfield). Still managed to get 10 Saints aways on my record this season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
