He rarely cons them into a foul because they often just wave it away, but he's definitely one of those players who goes down a lot looking for them. He'll probably get more given in the Prem if we go up.

Decent I reckon but depends how many in first group take up their option and how many the club take out. He's talking about the away game.

I would assume so. The club fucked up the QPR game earlier this season but since then appear to have got it right in setting the start point as a guaranteed sale.

Imagine they're waiting to see what league we're in. Would have announced by now if not.

If we're talking purely the goal and not any of the context around it then it's Charles v Oxford by a mile. If we're including context then Azaz last week followed by Charles at Leicester.

They've only given Oxford the upper tier for this weekend too. Probably incase of home pitch invasion as much as anything. We can't give any of away end to home fans but could leave the seats empty if we wanted. Only cost the club 30 grand or so.

Would rather Wigan's record.

Wonder how many more of these posts we'll see over the next few days 😅

Like I say, I've seen 25/1 for us to finish second and that requires two Saints wins and draw/away win in the other two games. Plus us outscoring Boro.

Couple of sites I've checked aren't offering odds on our game saturday but have seen 25/1 for us to finish second which is essentially the same thing.

Fair point. I'm inclined to think that people wouldn't make it up for the sake of it but I guess you never know these days. It is the internet after all.

He was outstanding yesterday. Can see why he's attracting a lot of attention.

Be interesting to see how tired both physically and mentally we look for this. Can imagine yesterday took a lot out of us.

I didn't see any of that. Not checked it since I posted it here. Having a go at people with kids and singing racist songs is dreadful though.

Not so much about the atmosphere in the ground but this doesn't reflect well at all on us either - https://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/threads/southampton-fans-coming-out-today.371554/

Don't think the atmosphere was great at all today if I'm honest.

He was booked for the push afterwards presumably. There's not a big conspiracy against us ffs 😅

Isn't there some archaic rule that they can only punish after the fact if the ref didn't see it? Presumably the ref didn't include it in his match report.

I wouldn't mind losing Azaz for this one really, you'd imagine we're not going to do much playing through the midfield here which is where he excels.

I care if we lose. How can anyone not care if we lose a semi final? It'll be gutting. I hate all this 'day out' stuff tbh, such a noddy attitude in my view. For me the excitement isn't merely the fact we're at Wembley, it's the fact we're one game from the FA Cup final. I'm not going just for the day out like we're some third division club who have never played there before. I'm going with the hope we can reach only the second FA Cup final of my lifetime.

Over 300 left for this, all expensive ones.

Really really bad last night. As bad as I can remember for a big game under the lights in front of (basically) a full house. Blackburn was similarly poor, I put that down to lack of jeopardy but no excuse for it last night. Why was it so poor? Were people just expecting the win? It wasn't great v Derby either and away support was pretty rubbish at Swansea as well. You'd think when we've been on such a great run we could offer a bit more backing when the team needs it but people largely not bothering. Always find it weird when the northam sings a skate song when we're chasing a goal too.

Normally they have both the first legs on the weekend, surely makes more sense doing it that way. Hopefully we finish 4th as don't fancy the trek to Boro on a Friday night.

Getting a home second leg is much more important than trying to be too clever about who we might face in the final if we get there.

Yeah we've got a very similar fanbase, they had fans clapping them off last night which I reckon would happen if it was us too. The clubs are pretty similar too, they're just more successful.
