He definitely deserves a chance in the friendlies to show what he can do, I imagine Brazil will come a bit too soon for him though so long as Cole and Baines are fit, can't see us taking 3 left backs.

Considering how soon it's been since we played there already it'd be a cracking gesture if the club took some of the money they fined Osvaldo and laid on 20 free coaches for fans. Make it to the quarters and they'd get that back on tv money alone.

Will replays be the midweek prior to the League Cup final? Would work in our favour if so.

Winnable, if we take it serious.

I took your advice on the match thread and put £20 on at 2-0 Watford and got £60 return.That game was also part of an 8 match accumulator which cam up trumps and netted me £420. Professional job by Saints to ease into the next round, plus Pompey throwing away a lead TWICE, makes it a pretty good day all round!! Lower league team in the next round please. At home.

Just seen the De Gea mistake as I had it on live pause That end of Old Trafford has seen some right goalkeeper **** ups, Taibi, Paul Jones, Roy Carroll and now De Gea!

I see Martin scored on his first game back from injury tonight for the Under 21's. Hopefully he can kick on and earn himself a move to a lower league team and get the first team football he deserves.

According to MLT he reckons Franny received a call 10 days ago welcoming him back to St Mary's, which of course begs the question who the call came from?

Utterly ****ed off. How we can dominate a game against one of the worst teams in the league and then throw away a 2 goal lead is beyond me. Tackle on Gaston was disgusting, if the ref did his job properly they go down to 10 men and Lovren doesn't get crocked straight after. We need to get some defensive cover in ASAP, god forbid having to see out the season with Jos at CB

Typical ****ing saints. Would have taken a point before the game, really ****ed off if that's the case now.

I'm not the biggest fan of Martin Samuel, but that is a decent article. Sure puts a lot of perspective on the role NC had.

I know it may just be a bit of good natured propaganda, but the players all look in good spirits on the gallery. I'm a lot more confident that I was this time yesterday, 2-0 Saints.

Well, looks like the powers that be really did turn up at St Mary's today then. I owe one of the reporters on twitter an apology for saying he was chatting ****. They're all laughing about something in their arrival picture though.

Yesterday it was just a story that AC Milan wanted him at the end of the season and now suddenly he's meant to have handed in his resignation due to issues with KL! How the hell did that happen?!

Finally got myself up to date with The Walking Dead, oh my ****ing word that mid-season finale!! Need to catch up with Homeland now, from what I can gather though it's going downhill fast which is a shame.

Whilst it would be a terrific step on our journey from League 1 minus 10 to establish ourselves as a mid table Prem side, it's all a bit boring still. Like others have said I had much more fun being a big fish in a small pond the past few seasons, and if we're never going to attempt to regularly finish top 6 then we have to aim for cups as it's the only success we'll ever see. also, would I be right in thinking that depending on the other 3 teams we'd only have to reach the semis of the cup to qualify for Europa League?

Could see from the Northam that something bad was happening, hope the poor guy pulls through.

I hope that is the case, however something tells me the Qatari money lining the pockets of FIFA officials say otherwise.

Happy with our draw, disappointed by the few all Prem ties though.

Apart from the last two goals we conceded Kelvin played a blinder by the looks of the highlights. That save to prevent us going 3-2 down was a cracker. Wish we'd attempt shots like the goals were scored today in the league, always seems like we're trying to pass it into the net and always try one pass too many. Can't remember the last time Lambert cracked a shot like that, or when Clyne even tried anything like that.

Why did did they stop that tradition, was it to do with ITV or at the behest of the FA? One of my fave FA Cup memories was myself and about 10 work mates huddled around a pokey little radio listening to Sven Goran Eriksson drawing Watford then us out of the hat in 03. Cue wild celebrations in the canteen! Back to the op, and I'd ideally like a lower league team at home in the next round. Bournemouth if they get through would be a laugh.

Good player, but if we were to get a new striker in I would rather we signed one who is a proven goal scorer at this level, and not someone who takes time to bed in ala J-Rod.

Whilst it always been known the near post isn't one of his strengths it'd be a bit harsh to blame that third goal on him. Most strikers would probably shoot across goal I that position, Kelv was expecting the same judging by his body language, he'd already decided to dive that way and got caught out.

It'll be fine thanks to the low tide at kickoff. Games have gone ahead in far worse weather at SMS.
