What are you on about having my cake and eating it for? I was one of the ones who before the game said we should go for it and play a strong side. Either we didn't want to win the tie or were arrogant to think a second string side would win away at a premier league side. You're making things up again aren't you pal.

What confuses me Is that despite the constant reminders, in dismissing the league cup as beneath us and Micky mouse clearly a lot of our fans have forgotten where we were 4 years ago!!

So you'd refuse to go to the final if we got there then, dismissing it as worthless but would be queuing and beg stealing or borrowing a ticket wherever possible to see us play WBA in the last game of the season to decide if we'd finish as high as 7th or as low as 10th?

Surely the only individual trophy that is worthy of us now is the ballon di'or for which lambert, Lallana and Rodriguez must be serious contenders.

I quite agree. One of the best posts I've seen in the last week proclaimed in his eyes it was 'champions league or nothing' considering we aren't going to qualify for the champions league then the nothing consolation prize seems a bit hollow. One trophy on 128 years yet the majority seem to be turning their nose up at the prospect of another instead they'd take a couple of places higher up the table. In truth what is the difference between finishing 7th and 10th in real terms? Maybe a million or so worth of prize money and a few back slaps from the media but that's about it. Yet some would happily take that over winning the league cup and having our names ingraved on the cup forever, it's a bit odd IMO.

No one likes a teachers pet, when he's captaining Chelsea to the champions league in 2023 he'll say his bullying at saints made him the man he is.

No mate, sod the Mickey Mouse cups if it was the difference between finishing 8th and 9th.

I find it quite hilarious that some of the mugs on here described swanseas season as boring despite them winning a cup, finishing 9th and playing some great stuff, yet would happily swap that for no trophies and finishing 7th.

Not going to say anything else in the clubs own literature is he.

I thought this was going to link nicely into another golf and beer story, where you did both with another Harrison, Harrison Ford, who knew everything there was to know about saints and you spent the whole night necking zambuca singing the Jose Fonte song.

Been very impressed with Harrison Reed both times I've seen him.

Cheers frank, that explains it a bit better, you see we can get on I thought it was steep as a few years ago I had a company car, Golf TDI and was only paying about £100 a month in tax. Having looked at the figures more closely wages and allowance wise I'll be slightly better off with the company car, but my fuel allowance is currently 38p and mile and will be 16p a mile if I opt in, so I do quite well from the fuel allowance too and this has covered all maintenance, tyres etc with a few grand over so far but I've had nothing go wrong with it yet, which will inevitably happen the older it gets. Some people say opt in and some people stick with the allowance and in a year the finance will be paid and I'll have a year or so left where the allowance is profit before I hit the 150k Mark and really need to chop it in. Still not sure what to do!

I've always got time for that sort of humour pal.

A few helmets tried getting that going at Barnsley, you were probably too p*ssed to remember. Utterly embarrassing.

Sounds a bit like James Milner.

Is this the pint from Plymouth away some of us are still waiting for?

So what have you got today now? Lallana and jay in, the 3 you mention not, is he reacting to the media or not?

Thank god for that now everyone can stop bleating about Hodgson hating saints and only reacting the the media.

Are you sure? Saints have been the darlings of the media this season with lots of plaudits from all corners for our play and the amount of English players. Surely if he didn't pick them it'd show he isn't being reactive to the media and public opinion?

And it's been like that for the last 30 years, Hodgson is doing a good job with what he has available.

One on Steve that would mean people forming their own opinions rather than the nodding dog to whatever the papers and talksport say routine.

Well said. One of the funniest comments I've read on here in the last couple of days was something like 'it's the champions league or nothing'. This from a club with one trophy to our name in 128 years. You can bet your life that if we did reach a cup final the champions league or nothing brigade will be the first ones whinging if they can't get a ticket to see a cup final they don't give a toss about.

The problem is too many of our fans think we are big time already. Comments prematch were hilarious about how our second string should still comfortably beat Sunderland.

So many of our fans seem to think we are big time before we're big time. It really is quite laughable.
