Neither really. Will be happy if we win the thing but not that fussed if we don't. Will probably go to one or two home ties along the way and the final if we get there.

Given the PGMOL statement doesn't specify what Clattenburg is alleged to have said, where has the quote 'leaked' from?

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport I understand #saintsfc aren't in the mood to accept decision from PGMOL and are likely to pursue this further

Ben Smith ‏@BenSmithBBC #SaintsFC unlikely to drop their complaint though

Portsmouth FC ‏@officialpompey #Pompey's match against Accrington has been postponed because of a waterlogged pitch

Ah, gotcha. Cushtie

Indeed. In the same way you wouldn't expect a teacher to react in the same way as a pupil. Ye olde "two wrongs don't make a right"...

Make that 10/10

Bite potential rating 8.5/10

Del Boy? (sorry if obvious....slow brain day here today...)

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC Jesús Pérez is currently speaking to the media ahead of tomorrow's visit of Burnley #saintsfc pic.twitter.com/qyjgUChHA7 Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC Pérez: "We have full respect for this competition (The FA Cup). We will try to win tomorrow. We will pick the right team to move on." Pérez: "It will be difficult. They're playing with two strikers in top form. It will be a tough game." #saintsfc Pérez: "Dani Osvaldo trained this morning - he will be assessed ahead of the game." #saintsfc Pérez: "[James] Ward-Prowse and [Nathaniel] Clyne had knocks against Chelsea. They are okay but they will be assessed." #saintsfc Pérez: "Playing against a Premier League club like us is big motivation for them. We will pick the best team to play." #saintsfc

Yeah, but, no but.... the presidents are all massive Pompey fans too, so even if they did end up with a majority stakeholding it would still be a massive fan owned club, innit?

Tomorrow's pre-match press conference will be with Pérez rather than Pochettino (as per League Cup)
