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)

Wayhay..... It's Rallyboy new player interview template time... http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/news/article/alfei-arrives-on-loan-1270800.aspx

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport Solksjaer just quoted #saintsfc in Cardiff presser, saying "We have chance to do a Southampton and to push our way into top 8,9,10 clubs".

We should count our blessings that the Saints Web Forum is the one and only internet football forum in the whole wide world that doesn't have any fans from rival clubs winding up the host fan base...

No, just one or two with multiple logins...

Ramirez starts. Lambert on bench. No Osvaldo.

Brilliant idea

I think we need a new thread for this
