Football Special

@TotalSaintsPod you need to invite Fabrice on for a 5 min slot on the next podcast , give the man some answers

Our scouts didn't watch him did they Always annoyed me the Skates called him Agent Bazunu every time he made a mistake for us, probably didn't help him

I miss him already 😢

https://not606.com/threads/southampton-v-hull-city.421852/post-18887767 "If we’re going up we need to win these sort of games. They have some good players but they’re a **** team. As long as we turn up and actually put a performance in we should have too much for them." A fair post by a Hull fan but really emphasises SR's failings in building a competitive "team"

It's possible but struggling to find a less interesting tie , perhaps Norwich v WBA , our game would get zero neutral viewers

We're away on 28th Feb to Sheffield Wednesday But point being so many home games will dilute how much people are prepared to spend on a Cup game and as @Hatch pointed out it's Valentines day and they have other activities planned with loved ones

I'm sure you are right, and a crowd of only 13-14k February has 4 home games in 18 days now, that's a tough sell 7th Feb - Watford (home) 14th Feb - Leicester (home FA) 21st Feb - Charlton (home) 24th Feb - QPR (home Tues night) The question everyone wants to know is will we wear our limited edition kit?!!

Bart letting one through his legs wasn't it? Those were the days, home games had a feelgood factor

Incredibly boring draw , hope the club are sensible and do £10 adults £1 kids and give it a chance of being a decent size crowd Leicester only brought 600 down in the league , they won't fancy the trip

Don't forget to book your breakfast buffet at The Dell 🤣

I like Jander and Bragg, but that's a very young central midfield, feel we need an experienced head in there at times

No Saturday 14th Feb (or weekend of) , replaces Leicester away in schedule

Must be due a home draw, 4 cup draws so far this season have all been away

No thanks to Leeds, Liverpool or Newcastle, replace those with Port Vale, Mansfield, Burton or Grimsby

Sounds like a great romantic day out , I'm sure she'd enjoy regardless of the result

Yep this was in August 2023! Everything the fan pointed out was correct and still hasn't really been addressed by the "know it alls" who run the club

Burton or Macclesfield particularly appealing having proper terraces for the away end , would be nice to have that again, none of this allocated spot, get there early secure a good vantage point, send kids down the front , marvellous

My sentiments exactly mate, when we signed him he needed a gradual introduction to Premier league football having only played league one for Skates and Rochdale I think. Was dropped in deep end. What annoyed me was it was clear to all that he wasn't at the required level yet and Saints double downed on it , the fans forum where a perfectly reasonable fan questioned the persistence with Gav and got the most bizarre reply from Russ. Anyway he seems like a genuinely nice bloke to hope it works out for him

He is and he will

Sales aren't too bad considering the form, obviously loads left in the usual spots either side of away end (talking of which Hull have only sold about 650 so away corner will look sparse) probably be 28k total attendance

Updated after today's games , 10 potential draws for teams below us in league pyramid 1. Wolverhampton Wanderers 2. Southampton 3. Aston Villa 4. Port Vale 5. Wigan Athletic 6. Ipswich Town 7. Wrexham 8. Chelsea 9. Manchester City 10. West Ham United 11. Brentford 12. Fulham 13. Sunderland 14. Liverpool or Barnsley 15. Burnley 16. Norwich City 17. Arsenal 18. Leeds United 19. West Bromwich Albion 20. Salford City or Swindon Town 21. Burton Albion 22. Grimsby Town 23. Hull City 24. Newcastle United 25. Oxford United 26. Leicester City 27. Birmingham City 28. Bristol City 29. Stoke City 30. Macclesfield 31. Brighton & Hove Albion 32. Mansfield Town

Yeah Arsenal kept calm and picking them off , should have been 1-5 at HT, the start did feel like a dress rehearsal for two weeks time, we know exactly how they'll start and come at us

They beat us comfortably at St Mary's in our promotion season as well, we could really do with getting something not just for league position but I sense fans on the verge of turning on players just a week before our trip to Fratton , terrible preparation heading into that. McBurnie will bully our defenders as usual

We're a number two: FA Cup ball details 4th round draw 1. Wolverhampton Wanderers 2. Southampton 3. Aston Villa 4. Port Vale 5. Wigan Athletic 6. Ipswich Town 7. Wrexham 8.
