    Oh, and as it goes, there is a reason that this trophy hasn't got a sponsor....

    It will forever be the Carling Cup for me. Next season it's the Carabao Cup, apparently.

    Seriously, it is too early to be teasing me... especially on a match day when the excitement can just be too much ... :1980_boogie_down::1980_boogie_down:

    Also, for anyone that has doubts over fielding a strong team, just for one moment close your eyes, and imagine the faces of Lallana, Clyne and Mane as Lovren slips up on the deciding penalty that gifts Southampton the EFL trophy, and the expression on Fonte's face as he runs pass Lovren in a Martin Keown style celebration. That's what we're playing for tonight!!

    I agree with what you're saying and if it pays off then it pays off. Also any time we don't play Virgil then it's a weakened team by definition as he's our best player <whistle>

    But I for one (along with plenty of others I'm sure), will be mightily annoyed if it's the same sort of team as the last round.

    Just such a massive opportunity to go further than we have for a generation. Would be a shame to waste for the sake of a league game which is unlikely to have a big impact on our final league position.

    I don't think this would be the reason. It will be based on what the fitness and science people think about the players current physical state and need for rest or not. Let's not forget this part when we moan at his selection later.

    Anyway I'm going for 2-1 saints , Shane Long to finally blitz 2 second half goals after Ramsey put Arsenal infront in the first 5 mins.

    You reckon he'll be tall enough to be noticed, or can we slip him in?

    Is it coincidental that people who claim JPT doesn't count, didn't go to the match, I wonder..?

    Okay you got me there <laugh>

    You know what I meant though. It's not a major honour however much we all loved it at the time and never will be.
