BARCELONASAINT

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.

It wont matter how many have got Valentines day off, they will cancel all rest days and leave whichever day the game gets played. Thats standard practise for any big match.

LOL, what the hell did you expect him to say?? He is hardly going to say "we cant wait to show that lot of crap down the road what areal football team is all about" I am sure he has no doubt what this tie means to the fans of the club and i'm sure he will have the lads up for it come the day.

very happy with this. Just not sure how much good news involving Saints i can cope with after years of nothing but doom and gloom Let the good times continue!!!

Got a really bad feeling about this game. MK Dons will be right up for this with nothing to lose. Our form of late has been anything but inspiring....hate to say it but i can see us losing this game and badly!

Difference is Barnard has proven himself to be a goalscorer at this level....in the top 4 for goal scorers in this league this season....that you cant argue about!!

He's a proven goalscorer at this level and must be half decent as his was on Spurs books prior to joining Southend. His contract expires this year and it makes sense for them to sell him now when its obvious the lad will walk for nothing if they dont. Whether he comes to us or not is a different question all together. Would like us to add at least an attacking/creative midfielder and a striker in this window and Barnard wouldn't be a bad start!

i just knew it would go wrong today, too many people getting carried away with our recent results. The score is nothing to do with Brighton having a new manager, we are just **** poor all over the park!!

WE are dire, playoff hopefuls!!! I don't think so!!

thanks for that, i hadn't seen the goals. PAPA is leathal.....from 2 yards out....lol

Good to see an honest assesment from Pardew about todays game. He knows we didnt play well for long periods today and got the luck which so often deserts us. Confidence is a such a huge thing for any footballer and anyone who plays the game at whatever level will know what i'm talking about. The players go onto the pitch knowing we have not won a league game for months, they know we are expected to win this game easily and they are anxious they do not make mistakes that prevent us from winning. I thought the game today was generally garbage with a few odd exceptions but that win will have shaken off the fear factor from most of the players now and they know we are one win away from having a positive Saints point tally!! COYR

Out of interest Mike how many confirmed players do we have?? And you know me, i hate losing even in the kick abouts, there's noway i'm letting this lot beat us. They can learn the hard way....charity is for OXFAMS!!! Move on please, victory for the forum team....oh and please make sure they are all wearing Saints red and white!!

ah the confidence of youth!!

the game is against a team i have just started to coach. Anyone that does the reffing job will get no abuse, i can gaurantee that. I will be playing for the forum side and i will make sure the opposition are well aware of what is exceptable.....saying that I KNOW THESE LADS DONT NEED TELLING!!!

Mike, i will be available for this and if your short of a goalkeeper i will happily play in goal for this one:)

got a good feeling about this one, 3-1 Saints

lol, that is priceless :smt036

yeh you did you bugger, and i put it right in the corner. Don't know how you got your fingers to it. Bloody good save mate lol
