That about sums it up.

We'd gone sh*t or bust by then and the high tempo energy levels were dipping so it was always likely to happen.

I loved being a Saints fan today. I loved the awesome support (the best I've ever seen at SMS). I loved the pure venom and hatred. I loved the totally commitment of our players. I love our club.

I too thought he was the best player on the park. The yids midfield must be awesome if he can't get in it!

I've nothing to add to that.

For 70 mins it was even Stevens but the one thing the EPL has that L1 doesn't is pure pace and when the skate bas*ards broke at pace there was no way we could cope. Still, at least they got to experience a real atmosphere.

PES, you're an EPL team playing your arch rivals, 2 leagues lower in a cup game. If your players can't get up for that then there is no hope anyway. You sound as if you are trying to convince yourself, not us. I've already put my money on the skate bas*ards by 2 clear goals.

I've been to Wembley 3 times to see Saints (plus the Cardiff final) and well over 50 times for England games and my nipper has been down to Wembley for England games, but to take him to Wembley so see Saints, in his 1st season as a season ticket holder, tops the lot. Tin pot trophy or not, he's very excited and that's what makes me happy.

Whilst I'm looking forward to it I'm actually looking forward to taking my nipper to Wembley more. I view tomorrow as an unexpected bonus.

This is great, yet another false dawn for them. It's the hope that kills you fellas.

You what? The majority of us expect you to win but hope for an upset. As for the Sha la la thing, if you hadn't noticed it's a cup game and it's you lot going down, if you survive that long.

Don't you know? They were taken over by a Emirates billionaire just as Corp predicted.

No, it's because 99% didn't view Green St as a documentary.

You've never been wrong before about a buyer, what with your well placed insider who you see socially every two weeks or so, so I for one believe you.

The paperwork has to be in next week regardless and it's that paperwork that decides their fate. The judge had requested the next available court date and I guess that's it.

I'm sure you aspire to be Danny Dyer but 99% of people will have no issue with a mosaic.

Harmless. Stop trying to be some uber hard casual.

Agreed.

Yeah, turkeys vote for Xmas don't they. Arsenal would veto it in a heartbeat as they'd have plenty to lose as would Man City. It's never going to happen and too many people are fretting about nowt.

There is no way that teams down near the bottom are going to vote yes and risk the skates surviving and them going down.

There is no way the EPL will advance them the money. Storrie may have requested it but it won't happen. They are totally f**ked.

3 from South Staffordshire (360 mile round trip) being picked up by 4 from Mid Shropshire (380 mile round trip). For the 3 kids coming down with us it's their 1st derby.

Don't tell me pops, it's because we haven't got Paine and Sydnaham running down the wings? In the good old days we'd have won every game 20-0 and still had change out of a groat to catch the last tram back home in time for a bath in't palour whilst listen t' wireless.

Damn right.

They've said that every derby game and it's never come to pass. If any are stupid enough there will be serious disorder.
