GeordieJohn Posted 30 January, 2023 Share Posted 30 January, 2023 Well said Sha la, I think you covered it. I was reviewing posts here to report back to an NUFC forum as to Saints fans views of the game ahead. Reading posts asking about "away pubs" made me laugh. Newcastle is not like that (unless wearing red and white with a different badge!) Away fans are basically welcome in any bar (and we have tons of them in spitting distance of SJP) As long as Saints fans are not total dicks everything will be fine. I wish all travelling fans a wonderful trip, aside from the 90 mins of the game course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsaint1 Posted 30 January, 2023 Share Posted 30 January, 2023 Transfer thread is deeply depressing so hopefully more positivity in here. Did DCC serve his ban on Saturday or does it still apply? If available I'd go with Bazunu KWP DCC Salisu Perraud Lavia Alcaraz Edozie JWP Orsic Mara Their fans will be revved up for this. Need to keep it tight first 20 and grow into the game from there. Think they'll have far too much for us though. 2-0 Toon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacknwhiteice Posted 31 January, 2023 Share Posted 31 January, 2023 I registered just to try and paint us Geordies in a better light given some of the representation here so far but it looks like a few good posters beat me to it! First things first, this game is in the balance. I'm delighted we have an advantage but one goal is nothing. Our defence has been amazing this year but as Armstrong showed in the first leg we can be got at so I'm taking nothing for granted. I'm more nervous for this game than the one down at your place because we've become this team who seem to be talked about as favorites and I'm not used to that at all! We're obviously a club which with masses of money will be taken to huge levels. I have reservations about where the money is from, and I know we've spent already, but right now this team of ours still appears a team of grafters and has many of the former players in it. I would LOVE IT (little bit of self humour) if we won this cup with this team before the mega millions and massive sponsors take over the club. Taking nothing for granted here, I hope we win obviously but I just pray we get through this second leg against you and have a crack at (probably) Man Utd. If it's you that go on to the final I hope you win it. I hope you guys give Nathan Jones a chance, I think he'll get you out of the relegation places. Chopping and changing doesn't always work but Southampton is a proud club and belongs in the Premier League imo. Anyone travelling up tomorrow I wish you a safe journey, hope to have a cracking atmosphere, cracking cup tie and we'll agree to disagree on what we want from the result. All the best for the rest of the season! 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie Posted 31 January, 2023 Share Posted 31 January, 2023 Just wondering whether Lascelles will get booked for the 3rd time when he is not on the pitch and at what stage Pope wil start his delaying tactics.

macca155 Posted 31 January, 2023 Share Posted 31 January, 2023 Right starting my journey up North. Not keen on venturing above Winchester at the best of times, so this is ridiculous 😲 Been a few times, always found the locals hospitable. I suspect they are in for a harder match than they anticipate. For all our woes Saints do have a knack of being a difficult team when you least expect. Oh please be one of those nights. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssEffCee Posted 31 January, 2023 Share Posted 31 January, 2023 Nice to see some sensible Geordies come on and make up for their fruitcakes, all clubs have them including us but nice to have a reminder that most of them are sound. Pub wise I knew there was loads to drink in from last visit but as a lone traveller was wondering where the majority were gathering for a good old sing song pre match. Really looking forward to this. Not expecting anything but quietly hopeful. As long as we give a good account of ourselves then I think we can't have too many complaints COYR!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotonianWill Posted 31 January, 2023 Share Posted 31 January, 2023 no expectations but without hope what do we have? 3-1 saints perraud, ward prowse and mara to score. Come on saints, you can beat this shit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 31 January, 2023 Share Posted 31 January, 2023 Hats off to those making the journey, it's a long way to go when we all know what the likely outcome will be. It's a long-shot to expect us to get a result up there but there's always a chance. If there is still only a goal in it going into the last ten minutes they will get nervy as fuck in front of all those northern monkeys who have already forked out for the trip to Wembley. I'm not actually bothered being a goal behind, I fancy us more with nothing to lose than having to go up there and try and hold onto a slender lead. There's no pressure on us, it's just a free hit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 31 January, 2023 Share Posted 31 January, 2023 I have a funny feeling we’ll score late in the game which will end 1-1 and go to pens which we’ll cock up. Obviously my fervent wish is that we shock everyone and do ‘em convincingly like we did City. Just play well on the front foot Saints and do us proud.
