Football Special

There are legends and then there are LEGENDS , wow , is he the only keeper there?

Its very poor, yet somehow nearly drew with Arsenal

Shame on you , he's a Saints / Sports Republic legend

Funny looking back, id expect Welington and Stewart to feature again from that line up.

It has to be. As a fanbase we're realistic, if Arsenal turn up and play as they have this season they'll more than likely beat us. But we take hope from games like their draw at Wolves and Mansfield gave them a good game in the last round, magic of the Cup and all that. Very few tickets remain for this game, expect it will sell out by end of the week.

Ground will be about half full i reckon, maybe bit less 13-15k at a guess. Chapel hasn't been opened. Itchen Centre blocks sold to Saints fans and middle blocks of Northam. Centre blocks of Kingsland say "Man Utd End" if you select one of those seats, not sure if people realise that. None of the corners have been on sale. Have they actually confirmed the two teams that will be playing? I've seen a few names added here and there but not one list?

Have you been before? Need any advice? You might get lucky and see some of the Sports Republic legends in the Directors box, expect they'll all be there

Have bought a few other kits for the kids on here mate, mostly foreign sides from La Liga, Serie A, quality has been spot on https://www.enjoynewballs.shop/?spm=..order.0.1 Might invest in a new Stone Thailand hoody for myself , oneupmanship on the terraces

Would be quite funny if we got to the final, officially 1976 shirts made but with 20k Saints fans with it on

Middlesbrough away on a Monday please 🙏 proper away day

Good use of a comma. They are panicking about playing us aren't they. Is there any rule if you drop out of internationals you can't then play next club game?

Sometimes use multi story car park at ocean village, there's a shuttle bus that runs from there up to the ground, worth asking club to confirm that will be running on Saturday

Played in an empty stadium i think, KWP goal, we went on to make the semi final that year didn't we, good omen

I wouldn't be surprised if Spurs and West Ham stay up, Leeds go down

Good enough for the Championship 👍

Hopefully those players are still out when we play them

For me it was one of Le Tiss magic moments, Blackburn away 94/95 season, very few of us up there for that game Le Tiss last game at The Dell has to be up there for all round meaning, felt like time stood still as it fell to him and celebrations when it went in were off the scale. Special mention for Long away to Liverpool semi final, great team move on the break

Down side of those tactics is it doesn't make for great entertainment, but who can complain with a 2-0 home win, we tried it before like WBA at home where it nearly back fired but players look more comfortable implementing it now

Just remembered we get another visit to St Mary's next weekend, few good names to see back on the pitch, another outing for the special 1976 kit I assume

Stop it

Any chance of a Total Saints Podcast / AFTV collab for this one? Hope they invite Troopz on pre match for his opinion on thefixture, one of my favourite football reactions after we drew 3-3 in 2023

We don't buy success....

Think Dowman also called up in youth age group

Yeah let's not worry about it, by the time we play Wrexham we'll likely be out of the play off places again, albeit with games in hand , just getting in the top 6 will be a challenge , so many fans yesterday talking like we've already made it

I'm fairly sure Tonda instructs the players to play with low intensity in these scenarios, probably based on data to preserve fitness and avoid injury. Goes against my instincts to go for it and score more goals but could pay off in the run in if we have full squad to choose from. We could have scored a few more today with better finishing but no complaints on the 3 points. Going to be a mental week back with Arsenal , Wrexham and Derby to play
