I thought that’s where the princess towers were going?

Interesting that the affected building is owned by Saints apparently, wonder what they had in mind for it eventually.

So what you’re saying is if we don’t go up this year we’re pretty fucked.

I can’t laugh too much at it, just reminds me of Prutton away at West Brom in 2005….

Decent well researched post this.

Hopefully Downes is back, if not then Shea needs to play CDM. If Smallbone plays there then we’re fucked. Brum are doing ok of late, admittedly Mowbray won’t be in the dugout for this but I’m sure the team will be very well drilled in how to counter us, as his Sunderland side did so devastatingly earlier in the season. Tough match, desperately hope we win but wouldn’t be surprised if we fluff it again. St Andrews always seems to be an awkward place for us to go.

Unfortunately the likes of Chelsea and Man City have a number of satellite academies across the uk, including in Hampshire. Any talent that would have likely ended up under our care is now being allured by the package these clubs offer them and their families. We’ll still have a few breakthrough but whether they’ll ever be at the level we’ve been lucky enough to witness over the years is unlikely. Back to tonight and the result was to be expected although we played better than I thought we would. Crap finishing and lack of striker has once again cost us, and the last minute equaliser proves pointless and costly given the fatigue and possible injury to KWP.

You can’t lose a 50/50 challenge if you haven’t got the balls to attempt one…

Smallbone doing Smallbone things.

Same. The fact that the 5th round is now held midweek is an abomination in itself Back to the match and having seen the line up I’d like to update my 5 or 6 nil loss prediction to 7-1. Mara vs Van Dijk is going to be laughable, as is watching super Ryan Manning play his usual game.

What a bellend. RM not you Soton

Even Liverpool reserves will have enough about them to do us about 5 or 6 nil. Be good to get an away goal so our travelling horde have something to cheer. Genuinely wish we’d not scored that last minute equaliser at Watford, all been a bit odd since then.

Leicester will have sacked their manager by then, perhaps we can get him in

Penny for your thoughts St Knowle.

This can’t all be down to missing Downes surely? Fucking hell what a drop off.

Has Colin Calderwood secretly fucked off or something? We’ve been an absolute shambles defensively this month.

Fraser crocked. Fuck sake.

Dean Hammond saying that Millwall are purposely trying to put Baz under pressure as they’ve “maybe seen something in a previous game that’s a weakness”. Yes Dean, that weakness would be his overall goalkeeping ability.

Nice one Baz

Can’t believe he’s dropped Manning and ArmA, maybe he reads the forum.

Was nice while it lasted, Leeds have been incredible to be fair. Getting wins when we could only manage draws. Fingers crossed we’ve got enough about us to make a date at Wembley.

That fucking game, honestly the range of emotions we went through that night. I’ll never forget the elation as Rasiak scored our third, I still watch the highlights sometimes just to see how mental we went in the away end when that went in. I still vividly remember Leon Best about 2 minutes after that having the opportunity to square the ball for an aggregate winner instead choosing to hammer it wide instead. The rain as we left the ground though, not just a bit of drizzle but absolute fucking stair rods. Got back to Southampton at 2.30am, home bed and up for work at 5.30am, understandably I wasn’t in the best mood that day. Someone else mentioned the 4-1 against Pompey at St Mary’s. What annoys me the most about that game is Pompey had a few players like O’Hara and some other triple barrelled name skate cunt that were banned from playing unless Pompey could prove they could afford to pay their wages. Needless to say the lied about being able to pay, those guys played and scored, and we lost. We had them on the ropes for a large part of that match as well, just David James keeping them in it. What a celebration when Lambert scored though.

Rarely a truer word spoken. Smallbone by name, Smallbones by nature. Never seen him put in a decent tackle, nor sprint to close down a player, he’s probably worried he’ll blow away. Could do with a weights programme to build him up a bit.

Playoffs it is then for fuck sake. Piss poor starting XI, this one’s on Russ.
