Football Special

Nuno absolutely hates him, not sure what he's done but must have been bad, maybe kept calling him Redmonds Dad?!

I think players who didn't get a break in international breaks have been given extended leave this week, would follow some logic

Even as the football clubs do their best to devalue the competition it still holds a strong appeal to the fans, we've always travelled well in the cup, hopefully see a few cardboard cut out FA Cups covered in foil with yellow and blue ribbons on tomorrow

Looks like most of the first team squad from what I can see?

No , roughly 2500 sold when they went off sale, think we'll still have a fair % of total crowd

Actually no mate, not only is there no bubble....fans are ALLOWED TO DRINK ALCOHOL IN THEIR SEATS asking for trouble

This is still one of my favourite shirts that I love to wear, versatile for all occasions

Not so promising Team usually fly up late afternoon, they'll probably have to do that regardless unless there's a very early pitch inspection

Thanks, sounds promising The snowman statue outside Doncaster railway station is smiling this morning - and so are many travellers here - and that could be because the town seems to have missed the worst of the weather from Storm Goretti so far.

Any updates on the weather in Doncaster?

Did he say anything about player availability and winter sun holidays?

Would certainly help attract a big crowd, so so many legends for us to choose from though so will be tough for him , expect Lawrie Mac will manage the legends XI what with it being to commemorate the FA Cup win

It's going to be this legends match isn't it? Surviving members from 1976 to play walking football?!

Good deal for them I think

I'd have had them in watching the Middlesbrough game on repeat and highlight the defensive positioning, then prepare for the actual match we have this week

Might get an idea of who will be involved at Doncaster from u21s depending on who plays in this tomorrow

Have you got a link for that?

I think this is a result of Saints having a lack of proper football people within the club and decisions instead are made by analysts and sports scientists, we're obsessed with limiting minutes played and having a rest , yet our players look like they're not fit to play 90 mins anyway

South Coast derby time this Saturday at St Mary's, club seem to be trying to get a decent crowd in , over 5,500 tickets sold already according to this, questionable scheduling with the men's team playing on the same afternoon but hopefully a decent crowd in to cheer the ladies on. Saints fans have Itchen stand (north side which is sold out) and Northam stand. Pompey fans in Itchen stand (south side) https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/25747882.southampton-fc-women-approaching-new-south-coast-derby-record/?ref=rss

FFS I know it's an attempt at a joke but can you not post pictures of that numpty on here, would rather not have to see that

If the game is called off there's not many midweek slots available to rearrange it for, would probably have to be 3rd Feb , scrapping replays meant they didn't have to plan for those but still need to consider the possibility of postponements

How many first team players have gone off on holiday and for how long? I know they travelled back from Middlesbrough Sunday evening and plan to travel to Doncaster on Friday, so if the first team squad are away who exactly is preparing for the match? They have had an appalling first half of the season, both fitness and attitude quite rightly called into question, this doesn't seem to be the time for a few days on a Dubai sun lounger Might stick a fiver on Donny to progress based on the attitude the club are approaching this fixture with

You're kidding me I don't follow any players on social media or anything like that but assume he's put something on showing he's there. No way these players should have been given time off for a holiday after such a run of shit performances and tough games to prepare for

At least @Turkish can stop predicting him to score in match build up threads now
