Danny Rose has recovered from a minor calf injury that saw him miss our trip to Everton and is available for Saturday's match. -------------- We stand a chance. Come On Saints!

Poor Newcastle. This is the level of player they are going to have to over pay for to show the ambition of being the richest club in the world. They are going to spunk billions over the net few seasons on players and managers while desperately seeking the promised land. While in reality, geography and mentality of the people will always contain them as also rans......at best I'll be happy if we can rob them of some of the wealth along the way though. Anything north of 50 and he goes with my blessing.

I hope Chelsea get a unkind draw, I do hate what might have beens............... Got a feeling they'll get the Sunderland. Eww.

That penalty line up of ours has to be one of the most anxiety inducing ones I've ever seen. Walcott, Long (fair play he scored, but who really thought he'd hit the back of the net?) and Smallbone. Out for nine months, and brave enough to step up for a pen, credit for that, but still very strange. But please, never those three again.......ever. Really enjoyed the game though, that rag tag bunch especially at the back did us proud. Hopefully Chelsea get City in the next round..........

A good 44 minutes. Impressed with the makeshift back line, kept to their jobs well. Kevin Friend is still a bellend. Gives them the weakest stuff and ignores us. Whatever. At one down, this should be interesting, keeps Mount from an early appearance, and we will attack.

Great opportunity for Adam Armstrong tonight. I bet he's chomping at the bit after being benched for the last couple. 2-1 Saints. We got this.......

I'm worried that Ralph seems to see everything last. Come on, help us apologists out sometimes Ralph, pretend to be competent.

Kinda don't mind if it stays on 5. Us and City still the only two in the pl era to score six still.

No body is going to see any Utd fans tomorrow. They will all be in the bunker.

Thank goodness Watford got that out of their system before next weekend.

Mustn't give Cornet a sniff. He looks pretty decent. Really hope we take our chances today, I don't think we'll get away with another Leeds game again this weekend. UTS

Referee: Chris Kavanagh. Assistants: Dan Cook, James Mainwaring. Fourth official: Michael Salisbury. VAR: David Coote. Assistant VAR: Matthew Wilkes. This line-up makes me feel better about the weekend. I wonder which unlucky clubs are getting the irrepressible Mike Dean.........

Justice for Bruce. Outrageous that he should be sacked after the last couple of fluky season's. There's no better vegetable than the common cabbage. The only thing that will redeem these trillionaire Arabs is if they nab Redknapp on a 6 year deal.

As soon as Burnley step out onto the pitch the wind will howl, and the rain will lash!

We must start Broja, as he's not playing the following Tuesday. Keep this simple Ralph, for the love of match day meltdowns........

Bit of Brent in the morning, now the world feels alright.

Need to get stuck into the Cornet, plug the Cork, & not let the Wood get going. We got this, if we're hungry enough. Easy win. 1-0. Early enough in the week to be overly optimistic.

More chance of getting a refund from a sports direct shop......and that's never happened before!

It would be hilarious if they went down.

I feel like I've read this script before. I remember not enjoying it. But I cannot avert my eyes. The next 45 are not for the faint hearted.

Ooooooh ten minutes till the starting line-up meltdown. Exciting.

.......well if you remove VAR & the refs maybe........

Well, we struggle to beat them when they are crap and with Bruce at the helm, so this changes nothing for me. But maybe Mike is looking for a new place down south? The sports direct arena.....got a nice ring to it!

I'm going to miss Steve Bruce. He always gives me a tinge of hope before the campaign starts.
