Great save FF

Albatross to the rescue

[sandwichsaint]

Long's still got it

[zurichboy]

What a surprise

Shocking pen from Theo. Never looked like scoring 

Theo is finished it seems. No pace, can't shoot, can't pass. Hardly controls a football these days.

Shame, but it was a mistake to get him in.

[Saint_clark]

If a taker does a stuttered run up, the keeper comes off because of it and then the taker scores, surely that should be retaken as well?

[CanadaSaint]

I thought Longy was going to fall over looking for a penalty.

Terrible beard too. 

[Saint_clark]

Sorry Smallbone but you are just wank.

[trousers]

Bugger

[John Boy Saint]

Oops

[CB Fry]

Insanity to let him take one.

[Mr X]

Saw that coming 

[Saints foreva]

Woeful penalty. Absolutely shocking. 

[DT]

What the fuck was that

[Saint_clark]

Come on Fraser...I believe...

[DT]

Surely we have better takers than the ones that stepped up

[Billy the Kidd]

At least he had the balls to take one.

Wow we are so bad at penalties 

[Chapel End]

Can we get back to slagging Ralph off now

Yep. Missing it is one thing. Damaged confidence much worse.

Takes bigger balls to admit you SHOULDNT be taking one.

[Whitey Grandad]

At least we can now concentrate on the league.

[Saints foreva]

Unlucky boys.

11,159 posts of constant fucking moaning, you got anything else?

[Mr X]

Walcott started the nerves 

[Jimmy_D]

Awwww dammit.

Gave it a bloody good go but that’s cup football.

[CB Fry]

Welcome back to football after a year out, here, why not take a penalty. Madness.

[davefizzy14]

We were unlucky there.

[DT]

Anyone who selected Walcott smallbone and long should have their head examined

Can we sell Walcott please?

[Viking Saint]

Good performance and deserved better. Walcott shouldn't be anywhere near the starting XI, brings nothing. Bit much asking Smallbone to take one imo

[Chapel End]

Long scored you idiot 

[whelk]

Lyanco should’ve taken one instead of Smallbone

[trousers]

Good performance. Out via the lottery of penalties. More positives than negatives. Next.

[Turkish]

Fucking will smallbone and Theo should

never play for us again after costing us a place in the milk cup 4th round

i

[BotleySaint]

Encouraging signs on the pitch.

But as usual with us, not good enough in the end..

[obelisk]

Chelsea 'keeper moved before each kick. A confident penalty taker just slots it to the other side.

Oh well.

[Disco Stu]

I knew big Fraser would save one but we didn't have any of our more reliable penalty takers on the pitch so couldn't take advantage. Fair play to Smallbone for stepping up. Probably wasn't the best idea though.

[Mr X]

I would rather lyanco took one than Walcott and I've never seen him take a penalty 

[S-Clarke]

Second half was excellent, we had much more control over the game and probably had the better chances to win it in the end.

Long actually came on and helped us stretch the game a little in the end. Less said about Theo the better, needs to retire and someone close to him needs to have an honest word with him. It's like prolonging a dead horse.

Overall though a good effort, just the luck of the draw on penalties really.

Lyanco my MOTM.

Really good game, pleased to have watched that.

Let’s see us put in a Wolves performance at Vicarage Road now 😂

Hoping Ralph can keep up the good work, just need the results now.

If this does go to penalties, please don't give one to Smallbone. It looks like his fairytale won't happen today. Really fear those misses will be in his head.

Really felt this one in my soul. It was clearly not his day. Now he has to try and bounce back when he should have been well done the order. 

[Saint_Jonny]

Great performance from the Saints tonight. Took the European Champions all the way, could have won it in normal time but for two outstanding saves. Pens is a lottery. Well played boys.

Why you pipe down you boring cunt. That was fucking good performance and you and a load of other entitled cunts get on everyone’s tits.

If we sell everyone you moan  about we would have no players.
