Football Special

Yeah we forfeited that game

Weekend before is international break isn't it ?

What's the story there? If Arsenal get through against Leverkusen are they guaranteed to be away first leg next round? Which would be a few days after this cup tie Plus most of their squad will be away for the international break Everything falling into place nicely YELLOWS

I thought that as well, always seems to be. Arsenal struggled at Mansfield on Saturday so there's always a bit of hope

Its annoying habit they seem to have, ticket office say they need to sell blocks in order decided by home club, which is fine, but as one block sells out they are so slow releasing the next (in this case last block sold out Friday afternoon, nothing new on sale until this morning)

My concern is i still haven't got over the Blackburn/ Norwich/ Oxford defeats who were all in a similar position to what WBA are in now, hopefully our tactics and confidence levels have evolved sufficiently since then

When they moved the away section I am sure the club said then that extended away allocations for cup games would go into the Kingsland so they'd get block 29 in addition to the usual , not sure how the segregate the seats / concourse though.

The way Frank Lampard was rattled at St Mary's i expect he'll carry on his antics on Saturday, he'll be desperate to get a win and wave his arms towards the away end

Went with low expectations, midday kick off on a Sunday thought it would be flat but where I was towards back left of away section it was excellent, no real complaints, didn't sing about libraries too much , general feelgood factor obviously helped by the performance

We definitely need to improve our finishing to get some of these away wins, Sheffield Wednesday and Fulham we got the job done despite missing several very good opportunities. There's more tickets on sale now for anyone who fancies going. First time an away game is digital tickets so don't need to wait for post it will just appear in your saints ticket app

Can watch that all day, it's a great away stand behind the goal, just such a shame I knew people who couldn't get tickets and empty blocks with 1200 seats just left that we could have sold, don't think Saints ever confirmed why we weren't allowed them

We haven't had them in a cup draw for a while so that would be nice

Superb all round wasn't it, enjoyed a few post match beers , everyone in excellent spirits enjoying themselves on cup away days, cant beat it, thought Saints were excellent today , so so many chances we deserved that at the end , players were absolutely buzzing coming over to away fans at the end

I think that was the aim

I remember going to Bolton 1992 in 5th round, took massive numbers, I was just a kid, remember two blokes walking around the terrace with bags full of cut up newspaper saying take handfuls to chuck in the air when the players run out, different era , no one begging Branfoot to play the kids in those days 😞

Setting off now for the day, enthusiasm gradually being sapped, you're right this is all completely pointless isn't it Decided to leave my cardboard cut out FA. CUP covered in foil at home 😞

Very very impressive this evening weren't they, get the ball forward so quickly

Nah will be a one match ban i think

We'll inevitably drop a place in the league today, hoping Derby won't improve their goal difference too much, would be a shame to miss out on play offs due to goals scored by Ben Brerton Diaz

Watched some of Oxford win away at Preston last night, classic unpredictable championship but no way can we go into that saying piss easy like you say they've already beaten us once

I've resigned myself to the fact we'll make several changes , avoiding suspensions shouldn't matter though as yellow cards are competition specific so unless a player gets a straight red they won't be suspended for a league game. Hoping the sun will shine and the 4800 Saints fans will have a go at making it a decent atmosphere, enjoy the day regardless

I've suggested the following to FAB: Dear FAB Thank you for everything that you do for us true supporters. I feel that things are finally going in the right direction but I'd like to suggest the following for management of away ticket sales. 1) always take the smallest possible ticket allocation offered, this will allow us to phase out the casual fan 2) priority one window should be exclusively for regular users of the OFFICIAL club travel 3) priority window two is for known and trusted acquaintances of regulars of the official travel club 4) final window any other fans can apply to be vetted by the FAB for their suitability to represent the club at Away games, attendance subject to signing a bingo bus behaviour code. 5) strictly no alcohol to be consumed on Away days Keep up the good work 👏

Good to see the latest FAB meeting tackled important issues. Up the Bingo Bus. If I had my way away ticket priority would go to official travel club users only. Potential free coach travel for final day at Preston away The club said they are exploring the idea of free coach travel to Preston for the last game of the season, and would like to discuss this with fans. They added that they are looking to target and reward those fans who frequently travel to away games on the official club transport

Fulham make a few changes for their Premier league game with the Hammers tonight. Obviously got one eye on Sunday. Harry Wilson, who I'd say is their best player, out of the squad completely, would be nice if he's not available
