We have to go for it I think. We want a major trophy and we have got this far, a win and we can almost touch the final!

This is what it is all about, and it is time, come on Saints!

Yep, this. Cant see us following the Koeman approach v Sheff Utd. Injuries permitting we should rest a couple but no more. Davis and Tadic could be back but if not, they will be fresh for Palace.

Srs. Claude’s already said he plans to continue playing the kids in this comp and that he hopes Arse does the same. Please keep expectations in check guys. Can’t have Barry having a heart attack due to shock now can we?

12 months to the day. The boys landed from Heathrow & Zurich for the Rugby 7s (beer drinking) weekend.

They rushed from the airport donned the shirts & we all legged it to Barasti. Where over 1500 people were rammed in for a long weekend party night.

Our game was on the big screen. Everyone could see it.

It was vs Scouse Hampton.

Worst night out EVER.

Was that 12 months ago? I remember meeting some of the other Sotonians for a beer pre-match then leaving to get to the ground with plenty of time to spare!

Well it would have been if it wasn’t for the plastics who had all turned up late causing mahoosive queues at the turnstiles. I heard Mane score from outside the ground…the rest, they say, is history.

SO5 and I will be in the usual venue pre-match from about 5pm Weds. Compton Arms, Islington. Coxford Lou is hoping to pop in for a beer early on but we will be there until 7ish for anyone attending the small matter of a Cup QF at the Emirates :lou_lol:

Will be there at a similar hour, I hope. I will not be wearing a ridiculous cravat though.

Bit of good news here. Quietly confident that if they really do take the piss and play a complete second XI, we’ll be able to take advantage.

Still, conspiracy theories will abound that Liverpool and United will be kept apart in the semis in anticipation of the final and I’m not totally sure I don’t believe them. Heated balls in the draw and whatnot.

Liverpool v West Ham isn’t that big a draw, is it?

I am starting to get quite confident about tonight. Based on nothing other than convincing myself that a midweek trip in -2 temperatures will definitely not be wasted.

But then I remember that Martina will probably be playing. Oh
