BARCELONASAINT

Why do you continously deny what so many other Saints fans who were at Wembley and clearly saw and heard what went on. You can say that you didnt hear any booing at Cortese BUT you cannot say it didnt happen just because you might not of heard it. There is already a post from a fan who turned and asked 2 fellow Saints fans why they were booing him and there answer was about as anal as your replies. You clearly post on hear just to try and get a response and wind people up.

Not wanting to ruin a great day and one i'll not forget for along time, but........ YES there were boo's when Cortese appeared on the big screen and NO i don't think it was a co-incidence and related to anything else.....TBH i was disgusted that a section of our fans obviously believe everything they read in the garbage tabloids or read far too much into what Cortese has really said......Both Cortese and our Swiss owner deserve all the praise for digging our proud club out of the hell hole they found it in. Pardew has done wonders and created an exciting team that will have more good days than bad and i for one am mighty proud tonight to be a Saints fan.

Almost time to go, have a great day to all those like me making the journey today and to those unable to go hope you get to watch it on tv and enjoy watching us support our team very vocally. COYR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my Cup Final programme has just arrived and i'm now well and truley in the mood.....pity it looks like heavy rain on Sunday....i might just be pleased to be in the God seats as the new Wembley has no closing roof!!!! At least i'll be dry where i'm sat

Now yesterday is out ofthe way we can all look forward to Sunday. Not been to Wembley since the Zenith Data Cup final and can still remember how brilliant the Saints fans were that day compared to the Forest fans that were miserable gits. I think we will make it a day to remember and the atmosphere will be brilliant, I really can't wait. Only slight cloud on the horizon is the injury worries to the players, just hope this does not upset the balance of the side. COYR

Must admit i was rather ****ed off when i was made aware of the tickets on sale on Ebay. The seller who is obviously a Saints fan was told by at least two other Saints fans that what he was doing was illegal apart from being immoral......needless to say the sellers attitude was he didnt give a damm and felt it was his right to make as big a profit as he could of the back of other Saints fans who were not as lucky as those of us who have got tickets. I wouldn't want any genuine fan to miss the big day but this seller has even managed to get me thinking they deserve to excluded from the event :mad:

Hurrah, just got home from work and my two tickets have arrived, i'm now a happy bunny, Wembley here i come

Football and the fans are a very funny lot and more so with our collective fans.......we win a game and AP is the best thing since sliced bread......we lose a game and he's a crap manager with no tactical know how....... Amazing how some people forget we almost had no club to support 12 months ago and had endured 5 of the crappest seasons i can remeber in a row.... The word FICKLE springs to mind :mad:

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!!!!!
