Alpine, chill, enjoy life. Nobody thinks it's the Champions League. It is however a good day out. If you can't enjoy it because you are too worried about it not being the FA Cup then that is your loss. Personally, the last 4-5 years of watching Saints have been for the most part utterly miserable, so I am going to bloody well enjoy the moment.

Whats the second verse?

Really??? Just recently I've been noticing him all the time, amazing the number of times I think he's in trouble and is about to get caught in possesion, only for him to cleverly turn and suddenly be in acres of space... Pardew has done a brilliant job with Schneiderlin.

He's a w*nker.

When Puncheons shot was cleared off the line I briefly looked away, and had no idea how the ball ended up at Papa's feet. That is seriously comical defending.

Strange atmosphere. Tried to join in with the songs in the Northam but for the most part there was silence around us and it was hard work.

Spooky, mine ended up with the top 8 in the same order, with Charlton on 81 and us on 78.

Nonetheless, it could have been a lot lot worse.

Wierd article. No quotes.

134 row 24. Almost the exact equivalent of my SMS "seat", result.

My personal opinion is that if managers and players want to moan about the refs they should stop ****ing cheating. I get frustrated with refs a lot, but being a ref in the professional game is a tough job, made infinitely harder by the fact that the players are waiting for ANY opportunity to fool them. In the case of Mascherano/Valencia. Whilst Liverpool might have a case, at the end of the day Mascherano was dragging him back having been beaten for pace. If he hadn't have done it there wouldn't have been a penalty, he's only got himself to blame, end of.

Why on earth don't they at least group their fans together? Better to have oe packed block than 5 almost empty ones.

Fair play to anybody who can sit in their end. I honestly think I would rather watch it on TV :-)

No chance.

I know, I know, but there's something strangely compelling about it. I know it's very easy to say as my tickets came monday, but I really really really don't understand what the panic is. I think you all need David Luker to give you a big hug and tell you everything is going to be ok

Why do I keep reading this thread? You people are doing my head in!

I like Wayne Thomas, but mostly because he's a bit of a nutter.

Ah yes, the old "if we just had a creative midfielder/midfield general/commanding centre back/winger with pace/target man everything would be solved" arguments. We always seem to need just that one more player. Personally, I think we have the players, and now it's about how they work together and turning them into a consistant unit.

Don't be nervous. They said they would send them out all this week. If you don't have them by Tuesday then you can be a bit nervous, but even then, the money has gone, you have an order number, so there is no way that you won't be able to go.

I seriously don't understand this. Ticket office say "tickets will be posted throughout next week" Halfway through the week people start *****ing and moaning that they haven't got their tickets. Stupid.

That'll be the hangover.

Somebody at my work has a theory that they're being sent alphabetically. Mostly based on the fact I have got mine, and my surname begins with C. So is there a mr xylophone or something on this forum who has his tickets and can prove them otherwise?

I wonder if AP has told him to work his ******** off for 70mins and then he will bring him off.

Puncheon has been brilliant in recent home games. Last night he had two and occasionally three Swindon players closing him down every time he got the ball. When that happens (and it will again) the rest of the team need to step up and exploit the spaces it leaves elsewhere, but last night they were unable to.

You want somebody who is commited and is actually going to throw themselves into it. Would be Hammond for me. Don't agree with those saying there should be an extra sub available for this, if you use all your subs this is the risk you take. I love it when outfield players have to go in goal, makes you realise how good professional keepers are too.
