Neither - it'll all synchronise perfectly in some kind of divine choreography. A land of milk and honey unfolding under the Itchen Bridge!

You may laugh -I actually watched the infamous Ali Dia game v Leeds in the Leeds section of the Dell...long story, woman related. Wasn't worth it either.

So we'll need an extended stadium to accommodate all 45k once we return to the prem and the recession's over then?

just bough a ticket over the phone. No sweat. It's gonna be a massive game. Anyone else on here travelling up from Norfolk?

Yes!

We're Saints!

watch the 76 dvd as players are being introduced to the royals before kick off - that's how to sing OWTSGMI

This is the funniest thread I have read in years! My fellow upper-middle class commuters to London think I am insane sat here laughing out loud.....

Nightmare game.

Told you so....

Brighton could even add another at this rate

Compfortably playing out the match now Brighton....

FFS we look total ****e now Antonio's gone

game will just fizzle out now...

Antonio is behind everything we do. Now he's off

how did that not go in????

They're defending en massse. Hard to break through

Our attack is running out of ifdeas

I was 9 and remember it vividly. Cemented my nascent support for Saints, inherited from dad. Only bad thing was I was round a friend's house watching it and they were all Man U. How i gloated though. In those days the Cup Final was utterly MASSIVE, far, far, far more than today, and the TV build-up on matchday reflected that, starting several hours beforehand, non-stop till kick off.

Listen to the fans rendition of Saints Go Marching In as the teams are presented to the dignitaries before kick off. That is how it shoud be sung.

When did they stop calling themselves Orient (cool) and start calling themselves Leyton Orient (uncool)?

I was at that game - and in the Leeds enclosure, FFS. Why in with the Leeds is another story, sex related. That and Ali Dia - surreal.

His incredible performace in the evening League Cup match at the Dell, V Man City in '78 when we won 2-1 deserved a stand naming after him alone.

and have an Ali Dia Commemorative Urinal.

My daughter's been coming with us since she was 4, now 7. Including away at C Palace last game of the season a couple of years back, which was a boisterous atmosphere. Indoctrinate them early I say.
