Nope, not interested in that pantomime football whatsoever. Would take an F A cup win anytime over being back in that cesspit of football

If we get back there, and improve the squad, we've got much more of a chance if a cup win than we've got in this league. We ain't winning the cup as a championship club, and a promotion push would never be sacrificed for it.

That's where our experienced players are. 🤬

Can't argue with that.

Imagine the negative xG

They've probably changed the rules so that there isn't any xG when the ball goes to Archer

[trousers]

Dibaga looking good

[Saint NL]

These young guys look better than Archer at least

Surely fannying about happens at the front.

I knew that and somehow typed Macclesfield 😂

 

[Edmonton Saint]

I like the look of Bragg. Been great today.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Think we’ll gift this away unless we can score in ET.

Yes they're having a good go and they'll enjoy their day out, but this is screaming disrespect for the tournament from Eckert!!

[Hopper]

Nippers have shown a good account of themselves today. Future is bright.

Yep. This will do them the world of good, and we get to see them against half decent players. Tonda

You won't be saying that when Tondas Teens™ lift the cup

Tweaked it for you...

[coalman]

George Long somehow manages to combine the shotstopping of Baz with the ball kicking of Peretz.

I could have meant for our bank balance 😂 

[Sheaf Saint]

We look so much better overall without Archer on the pitch.

Please, Tonda, never play him again. I know we need to try and recoup some of what we paid for him somehow, but he's utterly hopeless and not fit to wear the shirt.

Not sure how a promotion push has anything to do with it? Don’t think an extra 4 games after today (if we win) is going to make a big difference. 

[trousers]

Quashie off the line... Twice!!

[Saint NL]

Not sure how we got away with that one

[tdmickey3]

Well, we've done our best to give them the win

[SNSUN]

Extra time and fresh, young, fit legs. Let's go for it. 

[Saint NL]

Extra time oh goody.

I've seen more than enough of Leicester this week

Given our starting line up and subs I think we've done well to take the tie to extra time.

[Baird of the land]

Can’t afford to give them any more corners

[CB Fry]

I thought that was the "and there it is" then.

[Midfield_General]

Long looks poor. Shite for the goal and nearly gave them the game there, Quarshie bails him out. 

Better pray Peretz doesn’t get injured. Impeccable squad planning from Spors to basically have two third keepers and no proper no. 2.

[obelisk]

Saints midfield and attack is all kick and rush stuff with not much finesse. Leicester finding it easy to play through the lines. Extra time now and there's only one winner now and it isn't Saints.

Theirs is no better 

[whelk]

Someone needs to tell the Mansfield fans they ain’t winning the FA Cup so don’t know why they all bothered travelling today

[Tom57]

So who are the five we'll have take penalties if we get there? Azaz, jelert, Manning maybe otherwise it's kids or cbs

A striker should always step up IMO so Oyekunle.

Bragg looks a composed player

[Saint NL]

Has the stream ended? Do the Aussies realise that we have extra time?
