It's just a bit of banter with Matt. He actually has quite a soft spot for us and his kids are Saints fans.

Not really, we're 14 points from the playoffs so have about a 1% chance of promotion even if we win today.

Bless! There's a bit of difference between being good on L1 and being able to hack it in the Prem. I thought our 4-1 home loss to by far the worst team in the Premier League would have taught us that. There's as much chance of a woman playing for England as a L1 player.

Is he the new Kevin Davies?

Do you mean Um Pahars? What ever happened to him? LOL!!

Do we actually get any of the gate money for a Wembley final or will it just be the actual Trophy winning or runners up prize money? Not sure how it works at a neutral venue. I guess even if we do get some form of money from gate receipts it will be split evenly between the two teams, even tho there will be more of us there than them!

Is she the girl with the c ock?

Still, compared to Pedro 'Pele' Monterio, he looked like Bobby Moore!

Can't we just let this thread die. All it is doing is pandering to Timsie's already massive ego and desire to be the centre of attention. After a loss to our local rivals a bloke approaching 60 years of age behaved like an angry teenager, let's just leave it at that.....

Are you a masochist! Losing once to them is quite enough for me without having to go back for seconds! Let's just move on. Next time we play them we may well be in a higher league than them.

As a L1 do we really even want to think about re-instatement?? We were never going to win the fecking thing and lost 4-1 at home to a very poor Prem team. No reason at all to think we would do any better if he had to play them again or indeed if we were to play any other team left in the Cup. FFS, I think one FA Cup beating a year is enough for any side, do we really want to try for two?

I have always been on the opinion that Tiggy is an utter bore and an ego-maniacal one to boot. I realise that this opinion was not held by all on here and some posters have a lot of time for him. However, I am pleased to see that his fit of pique post-derby game post (which was far more fitting of an angry adolescent as opposed to the near 60 year old bloke he is) has done far more to bring the masses over to my way of thinking than anything I could have posted could ever have done.

Such bigoted comments about Norway!

Something for Denzil to drink at h/t?

Tiff is on Twitter, try contacting him through there. http://www.Twitter.com/tiff_tv

The bottom line is that with that number of tickets there will be no trouble at all for anyone who is wanting a ticket to Wembley to get one. Anyone who thinks there will be is over-estimating the size of our fanbase.

Think there are a lot of engineering works on SWT that weekend so people are tending to stear clear of the trains. It was discussed on TUI here: http://www.clubfanzine.com/southampton/v2.forum.posts.php?id_t=138674

After they were no longer manager of their clubs? Yep!

See Weston's accurate summary above. So, with the derby game upcoming, a journo is dispatched to talk to SFC's most famous manager. And what does the story begin with? Talk of old games, Keegan? The Moran goal? Nah, this is Lawrie we are talking about, the first thing he obv talked about to the journo was that his freebies had been stopped. I would assume the same journo who is saying it would never had of happened to Bobby Robson is not aware that under the ill fated Wilde regime just a couple of seasons back that LM trousered over £100k in 'expenses' for attending games? Our greatest manager? Yes. But he always has loved his wallet far more than the club.

What a surprise the main point LM wanted to drive home to the interviewer was that his freebies had been stopped. I still maintain LM has done not one positive thing for the club since the day he deserted us for his spiritual home in Sunderland.

I would be happy to take a bet with you that there will be a club called Portsmouth FC playing in the CCC next season. (preferably with some form of points deduction).

They won't go out of business. HTH.

We will win the battle but think they will win this war..... Unfortunaly our far superior financial position will not equate to superiority on the pitch as although they will lose all their decent players when they go into admin they have not lost them yet. Their players ply their trade in the Prem as they are good enough to do this, ours do in L1 for the same reason. Dindane, Utaka and Piquone v. Thomas, Jaidi, etc could well be an unfair contest. Still, I'm glad to see our fans know where the priorities lie this season. The MK Semi for the Trophy sold out yet there are still tickets available for Saturday!

I like to sit down in a pub too.

Grow up.
