This. Imagine if we were in Derby fans' shoes, I'm guessing the more negative members of this forum (the majority?) wouldn't have been overly impressed with last night.... Derby, a team in 6th place in the championship with a full strenth squad struggling to beat a relegation fighting premier league team who were playing a bunch of academy players and several of their best first teamers sidelined. Slightly Devil's Advocate territory I guess but I'd be more concerned about our promotion prospects if we were in Derby's position than I am about the rest of our season.

Fixed it for you...

Your spelling or Ramsey?

They may well 'have a point' but said point is laced with irony... a football club complaining about FA Cup rule unfairness when the club that previously played at Fratton Park cheated their way to an FA Cup final 'victory' on a house-of-cards financial model. Which was more "unfair"...?

Just watched it. I think I may have found a new Tory crush. Move over Boris.... Govey babes for PM

All the typical ingredients that precede a Saints defeat then...?

Yep, home to Spurs on the Sunday

Next game after Everton is Palace on 30th Jan...

As an aside, 11 days between this game and the next one. I wonder if Ralph will take the squad away on a training camp abroad next week?

Whilst Ralph will be disappointed with the way we grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory, I'm sure he'll also be privately relieved that he can now fully concentrate on the league and get some decent prep time with the squad over the coming weeks to reinforce his philosophy. #pragmatism

Moving on...

Over and out

Redmond misses. Game over

Odds on

This. And Targett I reckon

Redmond needs to square that. 3 players waiting for a tap in

Jesus...4 against 2 and we can't score

My money's on this getting to at least 3 pages

I'm not saying he won't be fussed about the way we gave away the 2 goal lead.

I don't think Ralph will be too fussed about it to be honest (privately if not publicly), especially when we have a midweek PL game after the next FA Cup weekend.

So close!

Oops...

Here comes the Nugent hattrick... Edit: bugger

Never any doubt
