The tradition of draws being a stupid times continues.

At least this time is actually on a mainstream TV channel.

ITV at about twenty to twelve before the Liverpool match (and before the other Sundays matches)

We are ball 6.

My inside source says we will definitely be away to Stoke City.

I would normally want a decent away draw, but midweek start of March (between Norwich home and Villa away) makes an away day an effort with trains / time off work. 

Peterborough or Luton at home hopefully

Don't worry the plastic  pitch has gone 

That and the c^nt Steve Forster with his headband bring back memories of another Saints collapse in the Cup.

Coins flying between fans. 
 

Shithouse of a ground, area and team.

Remember losing 2-1 in the league cup quarter final after extra time at Dell in the late 80s/early 90s after we’d drawn up there. Danny or Rod Wallace had a goal disallowed in normal time for a ridiculous non foul, game finished 0-0 in normal time then they did us in extra time. Gutted.

FA Cup was indeed 1988 https://www.11v11.com/matches/luton-town-v-southampton-30-january-1988-215914/

League Cup Q Final replay was 1989 as Turkish mentions. Guys stood on the Milton were throwing pound coins and 50ps at Steve Foster at every set piece. A couple bounced off him and quite a few hit the bar. Was thinking as a kid what I could have bought with those. Game ended up 2-1 to them after extra time. 

Chelsea going there instead, that might be a busy night for Bedfordshire’s finest. Chelsea fans under 40 are in for a shock at Kenilworth Rd, Dell was luxurious compared to that. You used to literally walk through back gardens to get in the away end. Luton fans caused trouble at SMS in the Cup when they were non league 10 years or so ago.

West Ham home - bit boring but it’s a home tie at least.

Hope we don’t give West Ham the same allocation as we Did Coventry, that would take some policing!

Suspect the rozzers are already calculating their overtime payments for this one.

5,000 West Ham fans in town.

And don’t forget the 10-15,000 skates fans who’ll just turn up for a punch up

West Ham have a tough run of fixtures around the FA Cup tie, with the Europa League thrown in the mix… 

27th Feb Wolves A
*2nd March Saints A*
5th March Liverpool A
10th March Europa League 1st Leg
13th March Aston Villa H
17th March Europa League 2nd Leg
20th March Tottenham A

Hopefully will mean that they need to rest players. They are also only a dodgy Antonio hamstring away from having no striker…
