I’d genuinely feel quite confident if we were playing Chelsea. 50/50 if it was Leeds.
This lot though…

Yeah I’d give us a decent chance against Chelsea. Leeds Id have us as big underdogs still as they never make finals so would be well up for it, and are a lot better than us. City we have basically no chance in my view
Yeah this 100%. Will be a sad way for the run to end if we get battered and there's a half empty west end of the stadium by the final whistle.
I put it down to fatigue rather than a lack of effort or intent? Let's face it he has set himself a high bar since his return.

My clutching at straws hope is that rather than fatigue players were subconsciously playing within themselves last night because of this game.
Let's face it nobody wants to get injured 4 days out from a game at Wembley.

I disagree. he has made some remarkable clearances after others have made mistakes. He may not be first pick but is a good squad option.
Do we have a chance?, yes of course we have, however small but we are 20 games unbeaten and are not used to losing games although it may take penalties to do it.
We’re all even at the KO, they are now in my league of an annoying entitled bunch of players and especially their supporters who rejoice at clubs who play by the financial rules getting trashed by their financially dubious assembly of players. So I’m like the 33000 of our supporters proud to be going to Wembley and will leave proud for sure. Jubilation or disappointment comes next.
But do not listen to any media pundit because, most of them are probably wondering why they’re going to the match as the outcome is already decided. The BBC this morning on the ‘Today’ programme commentating on tonight’s game at Burnley was a classic case of downright bias and disrespect to Man City and Burnley respectively.
I've got mine too! If the ticketing system crashes now, that's two of us with tickets in the Saints end, so we should be able to spot each other!Received my digital ticket.
I've got an email about digital ticket being ready. Hopefully is just something they send to everyone and they've not cocked mine up.
I received a notification on my phone, sent out by the club. If you've got the Saints ticketing app on your phone (mine is a small red square entitled 'Saints Tickets, with two tickets - like playing cards, in the red square), tap/click on that and you'll be able to see your ticket (well, a gap where the ticket will appear, about 24 hours before the match).
If, however, you're expecting a paper ticket, then I suspect that their ticketing system isn't smart enough to only send notifications to digital ticket holders, so I'd assume (always dangerous) that your paper ticket will be where the club said they'd send/put it. I'd keep a record of your seat number, to show the Wembley ticket office.
Good Luck!
Shock, Horror, My ticket has appeared on the App. Just need the QR Code to activate and I can join the techno elite! The magic of moto g O5.Received my digital ticket.
Agree that Tonda may go 3 CB's but if fit will play Stevens, due to experience Wrt to Bree and Azaz, I'd assess them in training and then make a final decision - all players will be desperate to start, it's the world's shop window, being cynical. Whatever, I think Tonda will spring some kind of surprise ref team selection or tactics
Thing to remember is anything can happen in a cup game, COYS !
I'm gonna ring them tomorrow as they replied to my email saying collection details would appear on club info but the club info stated that I'd receive a separate email so seems to be contradictory.
Odd timing before a Cup Semi, but I suppose if he won it , they couldn't sack him.
