Tuesday 9th Feb: Saints Vs MK Dons (JPT Area final 2nd leg)

 

Sat/Sun 13th/14th: Saints Vs Pompey (FA Cup 5th Round)

 

2 massive games in the same week, if you had a choice of winning either 1 what would be yours?

 

Beating MK Dons & getting to Wembley or beating the skates?

 

No choice...beat those sailor boys, every day of the week!!

With these 2 massive games only a few days apart what would be everybody's team for them? Assuming everyone is fit & available & injured players are back by then.

 

MK Dons:

------------------Bart------------------

Murty----Fonte----------Thomas----Mills

Antonio--Schneiderlin-----James-----Holmes

---------Connolly--------Papa-----------

 

Skates:

------------------Davis------------------

Thomas----Jaidi---------Perry-----Harding

----------------Wotton-----------------

--------James-----------Hammond--------

Papa-------------------------------Lallana

----------------Lambert------------------

I want to win both. I really want a trip to Wembley and the JPT is our best chance, but I've also never been to a South Coast Derby so I would also love us to beat Portsmouth.

 

I think of I had to choose one at gunpoint, I would just, JUST, side with beating MK DOns and going to Wembley.

 

HOWEVER!!!!!! We only need a draw against the MK DOns, so draw with them and win against Pompey!

I agree mostly with the above, made a few changes to the MK Dons team though ... this is professional sportsmen we are talking about, they can handle both games (especially Davis).

 

I also think it is absolutely necessary to play 4-5-1 against Portsmouth if we want to be in with a shout.

I'll settle for beating the skates and getting a 0-0 draw with the Dons on the 9th.

Barnard is cup tied for the JPT. Harding has played a lot of games this season & Fish Mills has proved to be an able back up for him so see no problem in starting him against MK.

Interesting question because in a neat way it sums up what being a supporter is REALLY all about. A shareholder and rational person with football as his or her hobby would say - get to wembley, maybe win the cup, get money, get prestige. A supporter would say- beat the skates, beat the skates, beat the skates. Do the other thing if we can but beat the skates FIRST.

 

No question at all. Id take beating PFC in the cup right now over beating MKD AND a play-off place if it was one from three.

 

You dont know for certain when you will get a chance to beat them again but the sheer beautiful feeling i would get from us in League one beating them in the Premiership...the team that plays AC Milan, the team that has had £millions spent on it....that takes some doing....being 2 divisions below and beating them is just too sweet an opportunity ...its 8x at least as good as a derby league win when(if) we are playing them in the Championship...well it is for me anyway....I remember Morans goal like it was yesterday...Crouchs last minute penalty... our 2-0 league cup win..but i cant remember our defeats or league match scores..

 

"we beat you when we were in league one....how sh$t does that make you?" No pompey fan wanted this draw im sure. If thery win- its to be expected as a premiership club...but if they LOSE.....DISASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Bragging rights forever i reckons....lol
