BARCELONASAINT

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.

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!!
