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

You'd have thought so, though it depends on the other clubs thoughts on it. Doesn't Wembley have 3 dressing rooms, a 'home' one for England etc. which is what I assume Spurs will be using and then the other two which are used for cup finals etc. Might be thinking of a different ground.

Unless I'm mistaken what they're using as their main home end is the end we had for the EFL final?

The only similarity I can think of in recent years is the CL final in 2012 which was held at the Allianz in Munich and Bayern requested if they could use their own dressing room. Chelsea had no objection so UEFA sanctioned it.

 

Even if all the sides progress like they "should", that still leaves the odds in our favour of avoiding a big team:

City, Chelsea, Spurs, Utd

Huddersfield, Brighton, WBA, Swansea, Leicester

Sheff Utd, Coventry, Millwall, Wigan, Hull, Sheff Wed

 

Seems Blackmore knows what some of our fans are like

 

Took my boy today and he wanted to go autograph hunting after the game. Very impressed how polite and obliging the players were. They must of all signed for at least 15 minutes each and had photos taken. My lad was made up. We were trying to get his Shane long shirt signed, and big Frazer asked if he wanted it signed and my lad said " No thanks, I want Shane to sign it" - quite amusing.

Well done all the Saints players

 

Weren’t you the one who complained about us winning last round as it just meant we were going to play another game we were sure to lose anyway? And yet we won.

Tottenham should be a no-lose situation for you. Win and we take out a big club and increase our chances massively and perhaps it is a sign we have turned the corner. Lose against a team no one expects us to beat and we are out like you wanted and can concentrate on the league.

Nice and handy for me.... although we have already won there in the FA Cup... JWP scores and Stephens came on at RB (debut I think).

 

Away to Leicester will be the draw

 

That'd be a decent allocation and not the worst draw in the world... how long does Leicester take by car?

 

You know - there is a thing called Google Maps.

 

I still don’t understand why you want an away draw!

 

Like our last game against them?

 

There's also this thing called laziness

Unless I'm mistaken as well it'd give me a time for now wouldn't it which is obviously when I wouldn't be travelling?

 

Cos away games are more fun and you get bigger allocations*

*admittedly only matters if it's local which is why I picked Brighton.

Depending on the opposition I'd fancy us away more than at home too.

 

Our allocation at Brighton would be about 1,500!

 

Sorry, could we have that again in a language I understand?

 

35 minutes from me. I’d guess at 2 hours from Southampton

 

Leicester away would be the fifth worst draw that we could have as it stands....no thanks.

 

I'm not even sure myself reading back

 

Hell of a goal by Jay - good lad, pleased for him
