I'm genuinely starting to think Lovren did have a bust up with Steven Gerrard! His career is going downhill haha

The winner of the FA Cup will earn automatic qualification to the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League group stages. If, however, the winner of the Cup is already qualified for the Champions League or Europa League (through position in domestic league), then the highest placed team in the 2014–15 Premier League not already Europe-qualified will claim this Europa League place. In a change to Europa League rules, qualifying slots for national cup winners no longer pass to the runners-up if the winners have already qualified through their league. Good chance now that 6th and even 7th place is enough for Europa League football, as I expect Chelsea to win the League cup, and a top 5 team to win the FA Cup based on the draw.

That was on BT Sport actually. Last one I can remember is probably the 2-0 victory against Fulham last season at home lol....

Southampton or Ipswich v Crystal Palace Manchester City v Middlesbrough Doncaster or Bristol City v Everton or West Ham Sunderland v Fulham or Wolves Rochdale v Stoke City Brighton & Hove Albion v Arsenal Burnley or Tottenham v Leicester City AFC Wimbledon or Liverpool v Bolton Wanderers Cardiff City v Reading Aston Villa v Bournemouth Birmingham City v West Bromwich Albion Preston North End v Sheffield United Derby County v S****horpe or Chesterfield Chelsea v Millwall or Bradford Blackburn Rovers v Swansea City Cambridge United v Manchester United

Wow. First ball out of the draw lol. Winnable tie, hoping Koeman does take replay seriously now! No doubt he will though.!

1 Arsenal 2 Southampton or Ipswich Town 3 Stoke City 4 Blackburn Rovers 5 Crystal Palace 6 AFC Wimbledon or Liverpool 7 Manchester City 8 Rochdale 9 West Bromwich Albion 10 Birmingham City 11 Aston Villa 12 Bournemouth 13 Reading 14 Swansea City 15 Cardiff City 16 Bolton Wanderers 17 Sunderland 18 Burnley or Tottenham Hotspur 19 Millwall or Bradford City 20 Derby County 21 Brighton 22 Fulham or Wolves 23 Leicester City 24 S****horpe United or Chesterfield 25 Everton or West Ham United 26 Cambridge United 27 Chelsea 28 Middlesbrough 29 Sheffield United 30 Manchester United 31 Preston North End 32 Doncaster Rovers or Bristol City It will be starting soon. Hoping for easiest home draw, as per usual. This is all providing we do progress into the next round... The draw may impact Koeman's team in the replay.

Is Boom our latest striker that weve bought? 17 players vs their 12 (if they have the ref that is)

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11662/9633403/africa-cup-of-nations-and-asian-cup-players-set-to-miss-premier-league-games This is a great little article regarding who is effected and who is not.

I wouldn't want this, but the way Liverpool have the song 'you'll never walk alone', or west ham with their 'bullsh*t bubbles', we could have an 'oh when the saints go marching in', to get all the fans all excited etc etc? I find it slightly tacky, but just a suggestion.

Yeah will admit that came out wrong lool What I meant was win, then its great, and lose, then it isn't the end of the world, even if we drop out of the top 4. Probably should have made that clearer haha.

Right, massive game at Old Trafford, one I'd really want to win. Win, and it's great, and lose, well, possibly drop out of top 4, depending on Spurs result, but not the end of the world. Team picks itself tbh: Forster Clyne Fonte Alderweireld Bertrand Morgan Wanyama Davis Long Pelle Tadic Unless we play 352: Forster Fonte Alderweireld Gardos Clyne Bertrand (as wing backs) Morgan Wanyama Davis Tadic Long Pelle Hoping to see Elia play a part at one point, Koeman knows more than me though, he may even start! Away tickets still up for sale I believe, and game is on a Sunday 4pm kickoff, live on Sky Sports. Prediction: I'm feeling optimistic that we nick it 1-0, with Pelle hopefully

1) Toby 2) Wanyama 3) Davis 4) Clyne 5) Fonte However, shoutouts to Bertrand and Pelle, as well as Tadic, Morgan and Fraser Forster.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11700/9633181/transfer-news-southampton-monitor-portos-holland-defender-bruno-martins-indi sky sports claiming we want bruno martins indi. Koeman said if we buy, it would be an attacker. hmmmm.

There was an argument earlier saying our support was rubbish because working class people can't afford to go to games (and these fans are the loud ones)... Well yesterday, tickets were much cheaper, and support wasn't all that. Suppose they gave the Northam to the away end but still, very flat atmosphere. I think this theory is wrongg

Id say currently scapegoat is Shane Long...

Sheffield United beating QPR 2-0 at Loftus Road... And Sunderland beating Leeds.

Im gonna guess JWP. Interesting that we've only made 2 changes. Very strong team then. 2-0 Saints

No, it will not be shown anywhere in the world.

K What are you on about? I highly doubt that is the case.

Yeah I would do that- however, id play this as a 433 formation, not 442- and maybe throw McCarthy in for Toby...

Answering my own question again lol, Bart will not play, instead Gerken will. This is du to fear of injury. http://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/ipswich-town/team_news_mccarthy_will_freshen_his_side_up_for_fa_cup_tie_at_southampton_1_3903849

I might be wrong but I think I heard McCarthy say that Bart won't start?! Shame if so lol.

I don't think Rickie leaving started the exodus. It was really Poch leaving that started it- and arguably you can date back to Cortese. Oh well, f*ck the lot of them that left, except Rickie. We granted him his fairytale move (which is now turning rather sour)!

EI EI EI O Up the Premier League we go, when we get champions league, this is what we sing, koeman is our king.

I was wondering, but does it say as a PL Requirement, stadium capacity must be at least 15k? If Bournemouth do get promoted, then what do they do? They have an 11k seater I think.
