BARCELONASAINT

I'll give it to the end of the week but must admit i'm starting to get gittery that they haven't turned up yet.....DON'T PANICK MR MANNERING!!!!!

my sons 2 tickets have arrived.....waiting for my 2 now...won't start panicking until the end of the week, plenty of time yet!

Not wanting to split hairs but you are wrong. They were only guaranteed a final ticket if they went to one of the area final games AND WAS REGISTERED ON THE DATABASE!!! The club failed to tell fans this important bit when fans paid for their tickets at the booking office at the stadium in person!!! I was lucky and managed to get round this but i suspect there are many unhappy fans that are now going to miss out on Wembley because they believed JUST going to the area final would guarantee them a final ticket.

Thank god for that, managed to get my 2 tickets today....little bit of inventiveness on my part....but i got there in the end..Wembley here i come :-D

As off 10.00am today we have sold 23,000 tickets....now thats impressive as its still only open to season ticket holders. All the best seats have already gone. Those still available are high up views or behind the corner flags. Looks like we are on course for a massive invasion of RED & WHITE!!!

I'm sorry but we got hit by the rule book so Pompey shut you whinging and either go bust or go into administration and still potentially go bust....either way i don't care.

Must admit i'm a bit worried about this game. Will we be suffering from cup hangover syndrome which seems to so often effect sides just after they have played in the cup....and lets not forget that we played two cup ties this week and both were highly charged emmotional affairs. On watching both games we having nothing to fear from Norwich IF we can play to the same high tempo as we played for the first 35 minutes against MK DONS and the first 70 minutes against ****mouth. What concerns me is if the players can get motivated enough to believe the playoffs ARE STILL an outside chance ....or will they have one eye on a Wembley appearance!! I desperately hope AP can motivate them and make them believe the playoffs are still achievable.

It would be complete and utter madness not to give AP 18 months. He has built a team that are really showing the signs of coming together and being a force to be reckoned with. Playoffs are still an outside chance and to be honest i would have taken that if someone had offered it at the start of the season. This has been an exciting season so far and AP deserves the full support of the board and the fans.

I do wonder sometimes if we all watch the same games! Both Papa and Antonio scared the life out of Portsmouth on Saturday. Let Pardew continue working with them both, i think both players are improving all the time.

At last the voice of reason instead of the melodromatic clap trap that started this thread!! Anyone would think Pardew was a child murder after TT ridiculous outburst stating he "could never forgive him" For gods sake some people need to get a bit of perspective Maybe the sun out there is too strong....i suggest sitting in the shade more!!

I'm sorry i don't often have a go at a fellow fan....but what a complete an utter idiot you are sir!!!!!

Hi, that is very decent of you. Email address is MIKEBARCELONA@aol.com thanks very much:D

According to the ticket office that doesn't qaulify for going on the data base because i bought them at the stadium!!!!....if i had done it over the phone or the net then that would have put me on the data base!!!

I have just spoken to the ticket office and to say i'm ****ed off is an understatement. Now i don't know how many other Saints fans thought they would be eligible for a Cup Final ticket because they had been to the area final????.....well this is not the case at all. I have been told as we already know that season ticket holders will get priority....no problem there Then those that went to the area final AND WHO ARE ON THE DATA BASE will be given next priority....so basically if you are not on the data base then tough even if you went to every round of the competition!! I purchased my son a season ticket and this still doesn't put me on the data base!!! I have my tickets from Tuesday night and the ticket receipt to prove i purched the tickets with my bank card at the booking office but this does not help me....basically i have to hope tickets go on general sale and that i can purchase one in the free for all.

Don't know what game you watched for the first 40 minutes!!! After that i agree we went completely off the boil.....but hey ho we won and thats what counts when you are 90 mins from a Wembley appearance!

Just got back, what a brilliant feeling to have a Wembley final to look forward too and i don't care what trophy its for....you tell the players it doesn't matter!!! Excellent vocal support. Was in the Itchen North next to the away fans....they were not a happy bunch, especially the porker in the white top who got very animated in the second half....shove that up your arse Ince and co!!!!!

Got nothing to do with bottle, it's got everything to do with years of watching Saints shoot themselves in the foot...... That said i obviously believe we will win tonight and i so hope we make an easy job of it and not put us through the mire!

The nerves are starting now. I know we are the home team and MK are weakened and everything....but this is Saints and i still remember watching us play Tranmere and what happened that night .......PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Saints don't **** this up tonight....plus its my sons 16th today and i want him to remember it for being the day he watched Saints progress to Wembley

Interestingly i have just finished reading a book that touches on the Germans during WW11 exploring ANTARTICA for traces of an earlier human civilization that the Germans believed were the "Arayan race" The Germans were a looney lot to say the least but probably no more than the Americans and the British. Personally i dont think Hitler is still around and having afternoon teas with Elvis, Princess Di and Michael Jackson;)

Could not have put it better Minty. This time last year we were on the brink of having no club to support. One year on and most people seem to have forgotten all about that. I applaud NC for wanting success and showing determined ambition....but please lets walk before we start to run!!! For gods sake tomorrow lets show AP he has our support in what he is trying to achieve. This has been a really enjoyable season so far and as far as i'm concerned it has so far been very succesful....lets not forget the -10 points we started with.

I taught him everything i know!!

Jesus , if we can't beat Exeter with that team out then we may as well go and sit in a dark corner and never come out again!!!

Have they announced todays team news yet??

Sorry if this has been explained already but i've read the official site and i'm still confused as to who would be eligible to buy a Cup final ticket should we get there!! I have my tickets for the home leg and am neither a member or season ticket holder. Will i be eligible for a Cup final ticket because i am going to the home leg? cheers.
