Saints vs Gooners - Cup Run mk 2

Tough game to call. Given the dumpings we’ve arranged for the Arse, you’d assume that they will not be approaching this game with complacency.

However, they’ve lost their hard man catastrophe, so maybe they won’t be as steely. There’s also a good chance that much of the Arsenal squad would have spent much of the week shopping for hats, cars or playing with any number of nubile young women. Their eyes may not be on the prize.

Let’s arrange another dumping for the Arse. Come on you Saints.

Anybody beering beforehand? Have had a crappy morning so I’d be well up for a couple of beverages.

The Bear in Oxshott?

Not staying. Off to Leatherhead later to a bar showing the game

:lou_wink:

I see how it is - another cup where nobody bothers to attend until it looks like we might win the damn thing. :wink:

Hmmm… Team selection is interesting. Strong bench though

Arse haven’t put out a full strength squad either.

Guess neither really want to progress?

Interesting starting line up!

Hjoberg having his usual nightmare start.

Is he wearing those old style lead boots divers used to wear underwater divers not Drogba/scouser types)

Balls!

Too easy we have no cohesion and could be a cricket score

…and its that cock welbeck…

That was too easy… .

It’s a worrying start.

Dropping too deep, not pressuring.

Both Arsenal fullbacks deep in our half,passing all around us.

Need an adult in the middle of the park and we’ve got to press more as a team.

Wembley, Wembley, we’re the famous Southampton and we’re going to Wembley! :lou_lol: :lou_sunglasses:

Any surprise? A look at the team sheet tells you all you need to know. Chances of us winning this are slim to zero.
