Match Day Thread Southampton v Arsenal, FA Cup QF, 4th April 8pm, Live on BBC and TNT Sports

[Saints_Alive]

It's a cup game. Anything could happen. I like these games as we are not expected to get a result. Pressure is off so I'm just going to enjoy the game. COYR

Everything to win, go through as underdogs or lose as expected, plus we still have lots to play for this season even if we do go out tonight.

Plymouth beat Liverpool last season. It's the FA Cup, anything can happen.

I like the cut of your jib.

 

[timatoketchup]

Tend to agree, especially without Downes.

Nothing wrong with dreaming though. And I'll maintain that belief we can win until we go 2 down

I want to believe.

If we win tonight, we'll have a Semi on (Fnaar, fnaar)

I’m intrigued to see what team they put out tonight given that they’re playing in Portugal Tuesday. As someone else said earlier I think the BBC will be making this into the Max Dowman show.

So, about 10 past 8 then

We're not going out, maybe.

I have stopped making Finbar Saunders refeerences as no one under 50 knows what i am on about.

Gnuff, gnuff...

As long as they play with the same passion as we’ve seen recently and self belief then leave the pitch with nothing left on it, I’m happy!!

 

[Brizzletiss]

Whole country wants us to win this one.. Let’s hope for some egg on Arteta’s face around 10pm tonight!!!

Worth noting that Arsenal have had a few wobbles already this season in all but losing to down & out Wolves, going 1 nil down to Pompey against the odds, & only just about beating Mansfield.. with all their injuries and recent scuffle with City it feels like anything really is possible tonight

2-1 Saints! Stewart & Larin to score!!! UTS!!

I’m in Cyprus, will be 10pm kick off here

How are you going to avoid finding out the result for two hours?

How are you going to avoid finding out the result for two hours?

I only have an hour my side of the North sea.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Really, Saints v Arsenal is just to whet everyone's appetite, for the North v South (Hampshire) clash of The Titans, as Basingstoke take on Sholing, on Easter Monday. Just to keep us all focused, I'm predicting a Saints win this evening, 2-1 in normal time

Are you a Boatman or a Stokie L&O?

Buffet dinner, kids entertainment then match!

Buffet dinner, kids entertainment then match!

Is it shorts and T shirt weather?

 

[timatoketchup]

Any alternative to painful BBC coverage tonight?

 

[Lemons and Oranges]

Are you a Boatman or a Stokie L&O?

I have a foot in both camps - I live near(ish) to Basingstoke, but I also follow Sholing, because of my daughter and her boyfriend, who live near Sholing. So if I went, I'd cheer all the goals, and get some strange looks from everyone else

 

[Lemons and Oranges]

Any alternative to painful BBC coverage tonight?

I've got some paint not quite dry, that'll need watching...

 

[Libby]

Got a feeling we'll get a red card tonight given after a VAR review.
