The biggest issue with Chelsea v Leeds being on the Sunday is they will want a large Police presence. The London Marathon is Sunday 26th April.......

Well yeah, I’m sure Tonda has a few ideas on how to get at them. Don’t give them time on the ball being the obvious one.

So had Arsenal beaten us, given the numbering was already announced, they’d have drawn City would they? Yeah, right !!

Delay for the draw then 🤣

I dont really see it. Wrexham had a tough game yesterday so they wont be going into Tuesday night fresh. We will have Downes and Matsuki back who will have had a break plus possibly Stepehens and Leo based on team selection tonight. Playing Ipswich straight after an international break where our rhythm may have been knocked a bit would have been awkward. At least now there is the chance when we play them their fate is decided. Its a distraction but not a bad one. Now should we come through tonight there may well be an issue of course but lets not worry about what might not/probably wont happen.

Wrexham and Hull are the realistic targets.

Hopefully this turns out to be true - From Echo - A short training session for #SaintsFC players at St Mary's this morning, with today being their first day back after a break. Leo Scienza is expected to rejoin first team training later this week ahead of Saturday's FA Cup QF against Arsenal.

These bloody idiots calling for Redknapp to come in and save them is hilarious. He won’t take it for the simple reason all he’s worried about is his image. If he took them down he wouldn’t find it so easy to air brush that out of his history as he has with Saints, QPR and Birmingham.

I got one from DHGate and ordered the same size as I would normally. If anything it is a little longer but fits great. Mine came in a Puma bag with all the relevant tags. It hasn’t got the sponsors name on it but it’s excellent, I was really surprised. Just be careful when ordering, you could quite easily end up with a home shirt with Aribo on the back if you aren’t paying full attention 🤣

I think Tonda will go as strong as possible. If it all goes north and we are 2 or 3 down on the 60 min mark he can make the changes to give players a rest, no point running around in a game thats gone with an important one 72 hours away.

Yes I was there for that one and have to agree. The other team goal that sticks out from years gone by was when we hammered Notts Forest 4-1 at The Dell and Phil Boyer finished off the move. Sadly I can't find it on You Tube.

We lost up there because unlike now we didn’t have a goalkeeper back then.

I thought it would be the other way around 😆

I think if Leo was touch and go for last night not playing him was a good thing cos that lot would have kicked the living daylights out of him and he would have had zero protection from a bloody awful ref who totally lacked consistency (except for beig shite, he did maintain that tbf) Peretz has, aside from his saves, bought a level of confidence to that defence we havent seen in ages.

It’s a shame the interviewer didn’t ask him how Rohl has got a tune out of virtually the same squad. I’m sure his answer would have been hilarious
