Saints vs Arsenal - 2000 April 4th

[The Oggmonster]

Absolutely pointless game this, I think Eckert should rotate and play our second-string team or better yet the under 21s. We have a massive game against Wrexham on Tuesday where a win could really cement our place in the play-offs. To get back to the promised land fighting for that 17th place spot would be unreal!

Just imagine the lift that beating Arsenal and playing in an FA Cup Semi Final would give the whole club. It’s a no brainer. Play the best team and give it your best shot. Worry about the next game afterwards.

Yeah, think of that 4-0 a few years back with a nice goal by Cuco.

Yep. Play the under 21's, and then try winning the fa cup next year instead.

I feel similarly to before the Fulham game - I'll be annoyed if we rest fit players. I understand Scienza on the bench (although want him to start) due to his fitness, and the same may apply to Stephens, although Wood deputised well that day anyway. But everyone else, get them on the pitch and give ourselves the best chance possible, it's the FA cup quarter final.

Well the good news is that we can't draw Liverpool in the next round

Commentator said that nobody will want to draw City in tomorrow's semi-final draw. I would.
