So, what do you do then, its the play-off final Saints are under the cosh protecting a 1-0 lead with 20 mins to go. Do you replace a striker with another midfielder and pack the midfiled? Do you replace a striker with another striker to add fresh legs to the attack? Maybe add a defender and play 5 accross the back? or do you leave it just incase the goalkeeper gets injured?
Yes, have to agree with you. Also we have been playing "reserve" teams in the FA Cup for a few seasons now. Its the same as we will take 3,000 to Palace / West Ham / Watford (If the allocation alowed) for league games but we have NEVER taken the bottom tier at Millwall (3000).
I Would like to think we would have those kind of numbers (and you could argue we should) but feel it will be less than 1500 maybe even less than 1000.
Why the **** would ESPN want to choose Saints v Millwall? Not that its much better but they will have Sheff Wednesday V Blackpool as at least there is chance of an upset.
3000 is the most you will get at the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man United, Man City, Newcastle, Spurs and Everton, are they poxy small clubs too?
Shall we give Doctors and Nurses a couple of days of too? Police? The Fire service? Transport is meant to be another public service which means working unsociable hours.
I wonder, If Wayne Bridge was not an ex-Saints player and fan would he still be receiving the same comments or would he be called a greedy ******?
The fact is he has chosen money over playing football regularly and has done for some time now. Just glad Matt Le Tiss was not money orientated.
1984 FA cup won 1-0
1988 League Drew 2-2
1995(?) Alan Knights testimonial won 5-1 i think.
2004 League lost 1-0
2005 League lost 4-1
Time for another win I think.
