Wes Tender loves his "where's your evidence" routine when he decides to challenge, err, someone giving an opinion on the internet. Less keen on bothering with evidence to support his own bulls h it theories, as we've seen time and again. Funny that.

"all the people" he says. Two people at best. Great thread.

We're striving for the magic of seventh, which as everyone knows is pretty much the most magical magic thing in the whole of football.

Need to win if we are going to overtake Everton, which obviously we are going to do.

Six points ahead with a game in hand. Everton must be bricking it.

My favourite is when "balanced" people have opinions and then shortly after say that they never really thought that and make up odd post-rationalisations of what they kind of meant but didn't say. And continue to deny they ever held an opinion even when it is in black and white for all to see. Oh, and I like it when "balanced" people simply make up other peoples opinions and then have a go at them for said fictional opinions. Oh, NickG, the king of unemotional "balance".

He's saying it to wind up the trolls who think our only objective is staying in the league. Now, what chucklesome comedy troll laugh-machine could I be thinking of?

People talk about the Cups not having magic but how much magic does finishing eighth have? I'll tell you how much magic. No magic.

You're touching on the fundemental misunderstanding that has been fuelling the frankly retarded "what's the matter with everyone, it's only a game" merchants on here. The idea that Saints fans aren't used to losing/disappointment is clealy a joke. Losing on Saturday was obviously a possibility. However, if we had lost, but had clearly tried not to, the reaction here would be quite different. There was an opportunity that the manager and the players decided to pi ss away, and no one really knows why. Like many of us, Luke Shaw is gutted and regretful about it. And Saints fans can cope with being mid table - there's another fallacy being peddled about that we've hardly ever been mid table in the Prem, when the truth is that apart from two seasons - the Jones Great Escape and our relegation season - we were a mid table club. Mid table Prem is fine, and everyone is grateful. Its primary purpose should be, to give us a safe platform for a run at the cups. We decided to pi ss that away. Go us.

That is not really mathmatically safe in the accepted sense - ie impossible, mathmatically - but who cares. We've been safe since New Years day.

Boo hoo we lost a football match or something.

Who said anything about conspiracy theories? Voices in your head, CaM. Luke Shaw just expressing a desire to win the cup and a disappointment about losing on Saturday. The exact emotions you held on such contempt the other day. Great that one of our best players agrees with me, not you. Boo hoo.

It didn't.

What nail on what head? The OP is rambling against a load of opinions pretty much no one holds. Badger did this exact same thread yesterday. No one needs reminding that MP has been great for us. No ****. We know. This thread, and Badgers yesterday, demonstrate a far more hysterical over-reaction than I've seen from anyone who has said they are sad we're out of the cup. Just people going apes hit at people daring to say they wished we'd tried harder on Saturday. Bedwetting ahoy on this forum from people who seem to want this forum to be like Shoot! magazine.

Thanks, anytime. Plenty of dismissive sneering on here at anyone daring to express disappointment for our cup exit. Lets see if any of those bellends want to have a pop at Shaw, shall we?

Boo hoo. Luke Shaw lost a football match. Boo hoo. I think that's the right reaction, isn't it, forum geniuses?

Seeing the back of the rat faced Italian midget pr ick has made 2013-4 a magnificent season. Oh, and Lallana becoming a superstar. He's changed.

This. Lighthouse on fire today, making up pointless scenarios no one is wishing for and then lambasting people. Top ten, go for it in the cups. Perfect season in my book. The rest of this season will play out just fine but could have been better. Oh well.

LOL. Bumping a match build up thread. Strange, whens there's, like, sooo much to play for too.

Just driven past St Mary's. Just watched three members of staff coming out of the Saints shop carrying huge piles of heavy-looking books. Chucked the whole lot into their wheely bins. Before rubbing their hands together and going back inside. Anyone know why?

MLG is never going to get that level of nuance. Hilarious that he is rambling about Chaos theory while at the same time forces a link two events that are utterly unconnected. A football match and a random drawing of eight balls a day later. Utterly unconnected unless, like MLG you force a connection. Of the multi million events that have impacted how that draw played out - from the person bringing the balls out of storage, the atmospheric pressure in Wembley, Rob Lee's nerves, the level of moistueriser on Olly Lee's hands - the result of a match hundreds of miles and many hours ago becomes utterly irrelevent. As relevent to that moment as, say, the colour of some shoes bought by an old woman in Lincoln last Monday. Well done MLG.

There are plenty on this forum who get uncontrollably damp at the thought of finishing eighth.

If MLG had never been born, this thread wouldn't be a total clusterf u ck.

Maybe there is an alternative reality where Saints are playing regular Champions League football in a 60,000 stadium funded by fans paying a tenner to get in and all buying a hotdog each. All it takes is for Rob Lee's son to step on a twig. Or something.

Was Rob Lee's grandfather shot in the war, then? Or not? Or would Rob Lee have been shot by a rampaging Sunderland fan had they lost yesterday? Or just caused him to miss his train on the tube? I'm confused.
