Dorchester Saint Posted 21 March, 2021 Share Posted 21 March, 2021 The motivation for this match is easy: “Go out there and avenge the 9-0, fucking smash them” And for the superstitious amongst you: In the 1989/90 season, Crystal Palace lost 9-0 to Liverpool, they went on to avenge that result in the FA Cup Semi-Final, beating them 4-3, the winning goal on that day was scored by Alan Pardew - the last manager to lead Southampton to a Wembley Cup Final win.....

nta786 Posted 21 March, 2021 Share Posted 21 March, 2021 I’d say best draw to get too- I’d back us to give them a very good game if we have our full squad back (and hopefully Barnes/Maddison will be missing for them). If we have all our attacking options back at least, plus with 5 subs- Ings/Adams/Armstrong/Redmond/Walcott/Djenepo/Tella - there’s potential for 3 positive subs to freshen things. However, my biggest worry now is how the PL will **** over when it comes to rescheduling our Palace game, I just bloody hope it will be any midweek after the cup game.

Nordic Saint Posted 21 March, 2021 Share Posted 21 March, 2021 7 minutes ago, Tom & Gerry said: How many times have we drawn Utd? Seems like every other year. Leicester will be a nice change anyway. Someone we haven't played at Wembley before. We've been drawn against them 10 times. Including replays we've played 15 FA Cup games against Man United and won one of them. Even though I was at Wembley in 1976 for that, I'm glad we didn't get drawn against them again. Leicester have been in 7 FA Cup semi-finals, the last one 39 years ago, so it really is a special occasion for their fans, many of whom have never seen their team in an FA Cup semi-final before.

LaptopSaint Posted 21 March, 2021 Share Posted 21 March, 2021 Very good team, but they have their off days. We can do this. Ingsy, Bertie, JWP and whoever else was playing - Redmond, Bednarek, Jannik - owe us (and themselves) for that soaking wet evening at St Mary’s!

If they move our game to before the SF then they'll also have to move Leicester v West Brom As we're due to play WBA on Monday 12th its questionable if they could squeeze the extra fixture in unless Thursday (if we play Sunday), or if our WBS match is brought forward to the weekend but that is probably already set in stone for tv purposes.

tajjuk Posted 21 March, 2021 Share Posted 21 March, 2021 They will be clear favourites and I doubt they will have trouble with motivation, plus no European football for them. Probably based on that the 2nd hardest of the all the options. Let's hope they have some crunch games to stay in the top 4 beforehand or drop off form like they did last year.

Teddeer Posted 21 March, 2021 Share Posted 21 March, 2021 Would be inclined to play Salisu rather than Bednarek for this game otherwise our back 4 is going to be seriously outpaced by Leicester's forwards.

Get a win or two in the league, bit of belief, good weeks training before with hopefully no game moved to the midweek before and give it a good go.

I know, but as stated we avenged that defeat at the King Power whereas United smashed us only the last time we met by that same scoreline. I know it sounds silly but I grow tired of everyone getting all misty eyed about 76 whenever we draw United in any of the cups. All it serves now is an embarrassing reminder that for a club of our size with some of the players that have come through all we’ve managed to achieve is one solitary major trophy in 135 years.

rallyboy Posted 21 March, 2021 Share Posted 21 March, 2021 Man Utd really missed their box-to-box guy today who creates most chances for them - the twat with a fucking whistle and no grasp of card use.
