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

Eh? Would be over 4000.

 

Yeah I'd rather avoid them either home or away really.

Cheers, not too far then.

Edit- just looked and thought Leicester was much further!

 

I know, I was joking. The point was that any away game would give us less tickets than a home game,

 

It would give you a general idea though.

 

Oh right... that's true but I bet the support would be louder

 

Depends. I wasn’t there but it sounded like our fans definitely outsang Spurs last weekend. If we’re playing well, the fans will make a noise.

 

Anyway, I only want an away game that I'm likely to go to

If not I'll have Hull at home.

 

I thought that the first half performance showed promise this afternoon and was very impressed with Cedric. The second half was totally different. Boufal was mercurial today and there were moments of skill which were a joy to watch. I was staggered that he was them substituted for Yoshida.

After the euphoria after the performance against Spurs, this game seems a total let-down simply because the manager's lack of judgement practically handed the victory to Watford. I would not say that there were elements of our game that were devoid of promise but it yet again demonstrated that any improvements or good performances keep getting undone by the poor tactical decisions of MP2 . Very disappointed.

 

Did I miss something today?

 

Yes, it was awful that we won. The whole team should be shot, and the manager strung up.

 

Probably me - Just got in and not ploughed through the other threads. Probably all say the same thing judging by the comments on the radio.

 

But how did he practically hand Watford the win... we won

 

Yeah, so what was this victory that was practically handed to Watford?

 

I meant to say draw.

obviously you are pleased with the win, LL but I just felt we should have put the game to bed in the first half.

 

Glad it's not just me

 

We should. We didn't. We won.

On to the next game.

 

How close was the Watford header at the end of the match? It was the other end of the pitch to me but the commentary suggested it should have hit the back of the neck.

 

What the hell was that about? Were they saints fans?

 

Nah Watford fans.

 

Would rather play Chelsea or Spurs than Leicester right now.

EDIT: Yep, definitely. Just checked the dates and the 5th round falls right in between the next round of Champs League 1st Leg games, a few days after Spurs play Juve, City play Basel, and a few days before Utd and Chelsea play Sevilla and Barcelona respectively.

I'd say it might even be advantageous to play Chelsea in the 5th round. They will field a weak team for sure.

Leicester have nothing else to go for, and they are looking tastier than a packet of Beef Hula Hoops at the moment.
