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.

Don't know but it was a scrappy goal line tap in I can see it now, and I can aslo still hear the sound of Saints roaring Yeeess, swiflty followed by "Chelsea aggro..Chelsea aggro...Hello!" and fists and feet hitting their targets!

I was at the Millwall home game in 1977. I was 10 so with dad, stood in the Archers watching the Milton Road quoir and lads separated by a single thin line of policemen from the Millwall hordes. Very soon punches were flying over and between the coppers' heads between the opposing sides. Far more interesting than the game, which was a dull 2-0 I think. Also up at Stamford Bridge same season v Chelsea, we went ahead but lost 3-1 in the end. After we scored the opener the Headhunters who'd infiltrated the Saints end waded in...dad hoisted me up on his shoulders and ran to the pitch side...

short - arsed quitter tosser ****. no way. I'd love to punch Keane
