25/26 - Non Saints Games

[Saint Scott]

Wrexham keeper just made an outrageous save

[Sir Ralph]

Hull now catchable

[Turkish]

Good result for us really. Wrexham really need to beat us whereas for us it’s a must not lose 

[Harry_SFC]

Everyone talking about Wrexham but we are only 4 points behind Hull with a game in hand.

And Boro have collapsed. If we keep the run going we'll finish 2nd. 

[bangkoksaint]

BIM where we currently are it just highlights what a car crash the Will Still era was and the nonsense of not switching to a back 4 earlier 

[beatlesaint]

Wrexham and Hull are the realistic targets.

Pipe dream mate. Ipswich have 2 games in hand and every other result ain't gonna go our way for the last 6/7 set of fixtures.

Ipswich are clear favourites now I think

I don' think we are beating Wrexham away Ralph, so lets focus on getting 6th first 😅. This week could be anything from amazing to appalling.

I'd totally missed that Roy Hodgson is back as caretaker manager at Bristol City! Came out on top today against mad Nate in his first game. 😁👍 Got to admire his enthusiasm for the game at 78 years old.

Definitely a possibility. Bring the same attitude and work rate for the Coventry and Norwich games and we'd get a result. 

Catching Hull is a good target to aim for.

[Tommy Mulgrew]

I see Bazunu played in goal for Stoke today and made two whole saves for a clean sheet, albeit against Sheffield Wednesday.

Did you know Baz has NEVER conceded a goal for stoke? They have NEVER lost a game when he’s played. That’s worth £6m of anyone’s money.

I guess we're supporting Coventry this evening.

[Lighthouse]

That’s a belter from that angle.

It’s a mis-hit cross from every other angle.

Agree - I think we can beat Wrexham but just don’t lose to them. A draw against them and victory against derby would be a good outcome. Hull are in all sorts of bother and I could see both Wrexham and Saints getting into the play offs and Hull missing out

Massively running out of steam, but they won't be caught now 

[Harry_SFC]

Absolute stinker of a decision there from the referee

BBD doing us no favours tonight

Was always going to be a better player away from the way Saints utilised him,  we still have Archer I suppose.

[Saint86]

Thankfully Coventry seem to have pulled their shit together...

[Harry_SFC]

Decent results for us today. Shame West Brom couldn't hold on but none of the 3 sides around us won. 

Obviously hoping for two wins next week but 4 points wouldn't be the worst outcome. 

[Cuddles]

Another decent result for us 👍

[Willo of Whiteley]

Wrexham aren’t that good. The wankfest behind them is what’s spurred them on.

A bit like the Frank Lampard wankfest at Coventry, if it was any other manager no one would bat an eyelid.

Does the club shop stock XXL in shorts?

Ah, got you, that’s not the massive you meant.

I was more impressed with Derby today than I was with Wrexham. They've got Moore back after a month out though and he did make a difference for them when he came on. 

One thing I will say is that defensively we look better than both those sides and that could be the key.

Could do with Cov beating Hull on Monday then if we can do the business 6th a point behind 5th with a game in hand

I really dislike him, he did nt have the balls to face the cameras after losing to Iceland, just resigned, cowardly. Hes not as nice as people make out IMO

[Cabrone]

With Boro in freefall and Hull stuttering 4th is definitely on and we get playoff home advantage. Top 3 is a step too far.

Doable but we’d have to be almost perfect, we’re still 8 points behind Boro and surely they’ll sort themselves out at some point. Lose on Tuesday and it’s out of reach probably. Just got to make sure we’re top 6 which is a bonus in itself considering we didn’t start our season til November 

[Willo of Whiteley]

Twenty one points up for grabs. Let’s get them!

Right after we’ve beaten Arsenal today.

Bit crap...for Vale.

That article doesn’t make sense. The FA pays revenues by how far you get. If you get to the quarter finals (as Vale have done) you get £248,500 from the FA prize fund, plus the sum of winning all the other rounds I assume.

https://www.thefa.com/competitions/thefacup/prize-fund

Genuinely don’t understand what the problem is.

Edit. Ok, got it. 4th round, 5th round and QF are rounds that don’t get an extra payment for the losers, all other rounds do.

A bit strange. But hopefully tv money and attendance money will dwarf the prize fund so they’ll get a decent payout.

Weird way of doing it. Why have some rounds losers getting money and others not?

Yeah I just edited, it is a strange way to do it. Wonder why. Judging by other rounds it would be about 1/4 of the winners prize, so another £60kish.

Yes, weird. I suppose that the last two rounds are at Wembley makes a difference. 

[Ted Bates Statue]

Leeds take the lead against West Ham.

Just a thought, but if we do get to play the winner of this tie, Russell Martin managed to get the better of Farke on three occasions. On that basis, I would fancy Tonda Eckert's chances.

Wowzers - the Taxpayer Dildo Dome stadium was half empty at 2-0 the Ammers got it back to 2-2 and it’s filling back up 😂
