    Shame about our injuries.

    We could really do with that extra goal scoring option.

    Get better soon Vesty

    Really not sure how tomorrow will go. Arsenal have improved while Saints have stalled, however if they play more open and less defensive that may help us. I guess it depends on both team selections.

    If it went to penalties tomorrow, who would you pick as Southampton's five?

    You can never have too much inane drivel in the world apparently. That’s why someone had to invent Twitter.

    Some pigeons have landed on the gantry. Probably want some of this lovely cake sent to us by Fran from the I.O.W.

    Stalled? Our last two league games, we beat the champions and outplayed one of the pretenders.

    Only 2 goals in 6 League games shows how much we've missed certain players in our attacking play though

    We need Stu Theo Che and Danny to play well today ...

    ... and then we’ll smash em :emoticon-0103-cool:

    It does. Do you think we’ve stalled?

    Do I think the driver of our vehicle has demonstrated a lack of skill with the accelerator and clutch resulting in us coming to a juddering halt? No

    I think we have been restricted to slightly lower grade fuel and we are pinking a little

    We have some additives available for this game which may rectify this situation

    :D

    I don't see any risk of Ralph not going strong, so I'm not concerned on front. But of course, given our injuries, there's only "so" strong that we can be.

    I would be more concerned on that front as an Arsenal fan. I think there's a real risk of them not going strong. (Not that it usually harms them in the FA Cup, mind you.)

    I think it is unfair to describe Saints as stalling because the squad has been beset by injuries. There are often "blips" for us around Dec / Jan and i think we will pick up once key players are back.

    Returning to the topic of the thread, it is a shame that we have drawn Arsenal. They always seem to have luck on their side in this competition and they will be keen this time out as they have not chance of winning any other silverware. As I have said before, there are few things more satisfying than beating Arsenal, if only to watch the bloke from Arsenal TV who looks like Howard from the Halifax's younger, weedy brother go into meltdown. Can someone please post the clip of him doing his nut when we beat the Gunner under Wenger on Boxing Day a few years back. Almost as entertaining as the match!

    Agreed. No excuse whatsoever for anything but full strength today. Hopefully they rest a few including Leno.
