I’m surprised no one has started a thread on our Cup game v Southampton. I’ve got the £65 category 2 tickets and have noticed there are still category 1 £80 tickets left at time of writing. I’m amazed that it’s still not sold out. I reckon it’ll be a great Cup game and am really looking forward to it. COYB.

Possibly because you have another game before that?

Lets call this a start !! You will no doubt have a great day out, I'll have a great day in watching on Sky Sport.
Looks as if we will be without Alonso, who is being charged for his dodgy tackle last game. I think Conte will play it very safe as per normal and pick the usual suspects. If they are up for it, they should be too good for Southampton, but some of them should not be selected in my book. I am hoping we might see some creative changes in the Burnley game and look at a bigger selection of players for Southampton. Players like Rudiger, Bakayoko, Cullum Hudson Odoi, the new Italian left winger whose name I can never remember must play, hopefully Luiz. All need to play against Burnley. Bugger all difference between 5th and 6th in the PL now.
Hazard, Cahill, Morata, Fabregas, Christensen, take a seat and watch someone else play with some passion and energy.
Wishful thinking , as Conte will be at his pragmatic worst against Southampton ,which now really is his only MUST WIN game left.

Whoops, too true.
However here in Oz it's actually on Fox Sports, which is really Sky Sports with a different name. Either way, it's Murdoch owned with Man U and Liverpool obsessed commentators. Much rather be going to the match.

Yeah I get that Abu, here in Oz we have Fox Sports which is virtually identical to UK Sky sports. My problem is that after 25 years in London, by force of habit I keep saying Sky instead of Fox. Confuses everyone, including me !!!
Nevertheless, I will watch it live !!!! Kicks off here at Midnight, have to stay off the Chateau Collapso until then.

Collapso.....love it ! <laugh>
 
Now then Judas reached final, I would lose in Semi than Final.

Tony has selected the right team to lose again even though against a League one type opponent. Tony out.

Like a broken record or a talking parrott.
Pretty good win actually, we were on top most of the game . Hazard Willian and Giroud were very effective, defence mostly in control and midfield was OK especially Kante.
United will be a sterner test, though I wouldn't be suprised if we turned up for them.

Yes it was a controlled game although I’m not sure the about Bakayoko for Willian sub and Willian was well pissed off about it. But Conte had done his homework on Soton and they never really carried a lethal threat.

I had an ear full from my wife at the start of the game because the tickets we had were to the side of the goal and she - so say - couldn’t see what was happening at the other end of the pitch. I did try explaining to her that you pay for the category and you take pot luck as to where you’ll be at Wembley. Anyway, Geroud then Morata scored right in front of her - all of a sudden she was purring and exclaiming that they were the best tickets with the best view. <cool>

Great game, great atmosphere - even from the Southampton end that looked like they had 15,000 tickets unsold judging by the amount of empty seats in their end. Bring on Mourinho and his Mancs.

If you’re writing of Mourinho, he’s more of a mercenary than a Judas. When Mourinho helped win us the Premiership in 2005 - on the club’s 100th anniversary - he was the Messiah not the Judas. When we lost to Southampton then Bournemouth at home in the Premiership - he had to go. Beating Arsenal 6-0 and the Spuds 4-0 in the same season during Mourihno’s second spell here was epic and I’ll never forget it.
 
Maybe our names on it this season after letting ourselves down last year.Couldn't understand all the empty seats
in the southampton area.How often do they play at wembley?<laugh>
