Southampton (N) - Sat 25th April, 17:15 | FAC | Pre-Match Thread

The 50 years will have no relevance to the current squad nor will it have an impact on fired up or not they are for the game.

Yeah, I tend to agree. It would be like Roberto saying, on the eve of the QPR game, “And remember ’68, lads!”. They would have looked at him as though he was nuts.
They'll be fired up, though. As we should be.

Southampton expected to be a missing a couple of key players at the back. Jack Stephens injured, Ryan Manning suspended.

They played this team on Tuesday night in the 2-2 draw vs Bristol City.

Peretz
Bree, Harwood-Bellis, Wood, Manning
Downes, Charles
Matsuki, Azaz, Archer
Larin

They're expecting Scienza to come back in, and Welington to replace Manning.

So:

Peretz
Bree, Harwood-Bellis, Wood, Welington
Downes, Charles
Matsuki, Azaz, Scienza
Larin

[BringBackSwales]

Can anyone advise a good tube station with access for m40, ideally north west of London (metropolitan line?) with decent carport or street parking?

 

[come-on-barney]

East side, no box park, yet travel the furthest, agenda!

 

[heslops barnet]

Too many nerves on this thread for my liking, this will be a comfortable 2 or 3-0 result.

That’s what we thought when we played Palace

 

[heslops barnet]

I no longer trust Foden he has gone backwards at an alarming rate.

Harsh

 

[heslops barnet]

The coincidence in that is also when I started supporting City in 76 ..

Chavs fan before?

 

[Withnail]

No room for any complacency, but expect to see some changes, but it will still be a strong side. Possibly Gonzalez, Lewis and Savinho starting.

I’m sure they’ll be a couple of surprises, wouldn’t be Pep otherwise

True. 2 games for another trophy, surely we don’t pass this chance up. League looks way more difficult. Eggs and baskets.

By train. Gerrards Cross

Possibly 2 domestic cups & CL spot, who’d of though that a couple of months ago?

 

[yankblue]

Don't think we will rotate too much, but I hope at a minimum we can get Bernie and Nico a rest

I think they are the best form team in the Championship just now. Certainly on a par with maybe half a dozen teams in the PL. We cannot take them for granted and I doubt we will twat them.
