Match Day Thread Southampton vs Ipswich FA CUP 04.01.2015 & Replay 14.01.2015

Exactly. Just how we feel a little annoyed that no one is taking our top 4 position seriously. "Well done, good for you, but the big boys are here now"

I don't agree that some Bournemouth fans should feel like that, but I think in the competitive world of sport a dislike seems more respectful than a well done tap on the head

 

Really struggling to think what team he will go with and what formation. Think Davis and Pelle could do with a break, but without Gallagher we have no alternative for the latter.
So i'm going to guess Pelle & Long as a front two with JWP behind them. Reed & Schneiderlin in central midfield and a back four of Targett, Gardos, Fonte & McCarthy.
Forster to remain in goal

Bench: Davis, Alderweireld, Wanyama, Bertrand, Davis, Isgrove, Seager

 

Which games are televised today?

 

Arsenal V Hull BBC1 5;30

 

I still remember when we played them last (League 1) and they did a mini-special on the "derby" on the Football League Show. They interviewed a bunch of gobby Bournemouth fans and then a bunch of Saints fans who couldn't have been more indifferent if they had tried. It was really amusing. And of course we put them in their place

 

Also Dover v Palace at 12.30 then Yeovil v Man U follows on BT sport 1.

 

Also Motherwell vs Aberdeen. Try and contain your excitement.

 

Just to be clear, the likes are for the info, not the choice of matches!

I suppose I can get on board supporting Hull.

 

I honestly don't understand - everyone's banging on about "the Magic of the cup", and there's only been one bloody game on all weekend!

 

Ipswich have lost one game since August - that can make a team hard to break down, in terms of belief...

 

Everyone says that every game is tough (whilst inside thinking walk over), but this is a tough game. We should win, but then we should have beaten Sheffield United. Ipswich could be PL next season...deserve total respect.

 

Sat in the Old Farmhouse

Fully agree Fran. Ipswich are a good side and we will need to play well.

 

And they are probably better than some of the PL sides we have struggled to beat this season; WBA, Leicester, Burnley spring to mind.

 

I'm going to chill on this....want us to win of course, but I am going to be calmer than with league games. Just please don't be 1-0 (up or down) or 0-0 with ten minutes to go or I will be eating the carpet.

 

Any streams this afternoon as First Row aren't covering the cup?

 

Doesn't look like it, none of our lot on the TWTD forum have been able to find one.

 

Typical...first game I have missed for ages and there are no stream. Doh!
