That’s a pen all day long.

I have horrendous memories of losing to them last year just before lockdown, in torrential pissing rain with a poxy 12pm kick off, on my birthday. Great day that was.

Complete and utter waste of time. 20,000 could probably social distance in there no problem. What will they actually learn from a load of uninterested, bored local residents walking to the game and sitting 3 miles from anyone else?

Me and a couple of lads who go away were looking forward to watching this with a load of beers in the garden or pub garden. Might have travelled up and hit a few pubs in London if it was nice weather as we haven’t been away together since West Ham at the end of February 2020. And they stick it at fucking 6.30pm on a Sunday night with work the next day. Anyone who can’t see that’s a shit kick off time and day is a complete and utter moron.

Couldn’t get much worse then that. Shit time, shit day, shit channel.

Here we go again, round and round. Suppose we should have seen this coming when Sunak extended free money until September. If we're so worried about variants then we'll never come out of lockdown, this virus isn't going anywhere any time soon, so a life of nothing beckons if some of the scientists, who are clearly enjoying their new found limelight, have their way.

No reason why we can’t beat them on our day. They’ll be delighted to have us of course, but it’s the best draw for us too.

Strange how I’m relatively happy to be playing one of two teams that have both stuck 9 past us in the recent past!

Let’s be honest, we’ll lose to city. We have to hope for one of the other 3 (lesser of evils) and hope in the other semi that City get complacent and lose. Then who knows in a one off final against one of Chelsea/Utd/Leicester

Wembley then lads. Maybe the season isn’t as much of a write off as we thought.

Missing a cup semi final at Wembley is annoying, they don’t come around too often for us.

Have we got anyone who if booked would be suspended for the semis? Might be worth getting them off if so

Oh yeah I’m not disputing the decision, I just can’t stand it whether it’s going for or against Saints. Get in 0-3!

Honestly VAR. Will they please just fuck it off

Looks offside FFS

Get in, great finish. Game over

91 of the 92 league teams couldn’t. We absolutely can

Fantastic from Redmond, albeit up against Steve Cook. I can’t begin to describe how bad this Bournemouth team are.

They are absolute garbage but it’s nailed on isn’t it.

The idea of having VAR for some rounds/games and not others makes this competition a total farce.

Some strange responses on this thread. It’s the biggest game of the season in my eyes. Winning the cup doesn’t have to mean getting relegated you know... not that we will anyway, we’re safe as houses already.

They’re without a few. Wish we could head down there, would be a decent day on the piss. Strongest possible line-up and I think we’ll have too much for them.

Another season in L1 beckons. But that’s ok, they love it down there cos real football innit. Fucking embarrassment of the south coast.

Going to Birmingham by all accounts.

He’s working with no pressure from above. You don’t survive two 9-0’s and worry about your job.
