Match Day Thread Saints v Watford (FA CUP) Sat 27/1/2018 3pm

Blades are still in it too, so double the chance of a trip to Sheffield.

I quite fancy a trip to Coventry. Never been to the Ricoh.

 

I can see the appeal of that seeing as we won't be playing either of those championship sides next season.

 

Never been to Yorkshire but that doesn't surprise me for obvious reasons, how long ago was that out of interest?

 

1984 FA Cup Q/F....5 years before the tragedy, it was an accident waiting to happen tbh.

 

I've already been to Brighton this year just think it's a localish game, we'd get a big allocation which we'd fill and it'd be a cracking cup tie atmosphere.

Best new build ground I've been to as well.

 

Oh right yeah I can imagine what that was like in the 80s.

It's a ground always been near the top of my list though.

 

Definitely...either that stretch will see them to safety, or they'll give a number of other teams important wins.

 

Not long after the miner's strike either, so they'd had lots of practise behaving like thugs and bullies.

 

Would prefer Wednesday over United personally as always preferred them for an unknown reason and as I just said to SA it's always been near the top of my list.

I did Ricoh the first year it opened and we drew 1-1. 05/06 think, bit **** tbh, not only is it another identikit but it's one of those out of town stadiums which I'm not a fan of.

 

Nigel Clough. Remember him?

 

And Chris Morgan...

 

Was wayyyyy before that, that just intensified my dislike for United!

Might be something to do with Wednesday always being in my sticker books in the 90s. According to my mum I loved owls as a kid too so that probably plays a part.

 

What obvious reasons ?

Yorkshire has some stunning places .

Harrogate is just fantastic

 

Fond memories of the Ricoh, where Guly shut up some haters

 

South. Yorkshire. Police.

 

I'm gonna try and find who scored when I went.

 

Agree,listened to a lot of our "experts"on the way back they were hilarious.To be honest I think they were a bit pissed we didn't lose.The half hearted "you don't know what you're doing"was **** as well.

To be fair to Shane he was trying too hard to lay on chances for others second half especially.

Ricardo Fuller. Did have the season right.

 

Has anyone heard anything about the seriousness of the Bertrand injury or was it a precaution? Also, is Cedric OK?

A few highlights on here. Maybe we should have had a penalty?

 

Understand the reason for MP's 'negative' sub, but can also understand why some fans are annoyed at it - could be seen as him continuing to make changes that could cost us.

However this didn't cost us and he got us the win. Fair play and up the Saints.
