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

I'd leave Rico where he has looked his best recently, on the bench.

Fucking joyous watching their fucking silly song go silent at Wembley. As someone who is friends with 4 forest season ticket holders perhaps it holds a special place in my heart.

I said recently.

I said recently.

Its ok. I'm not after a Rico Lewis debate! Like I've said in other forums, i've been wrong almost always this year so a Rico Lewis is a good midfielder argument is not what i'm after right now!

Anyway, to the essential questions about tomorrow … anyone recall if they serve Guinness in the stadium? Don’t wanna go that way pre-match in the pub then get in the ground and have to switch to some dodgy urine-looking brew.

Don't think so - but Camden Craft Ales (separate kiosk from the main bars) do a great stout!

I've no idea what the thoughts of Southampton fans are, but their priority will surely be automatic promotion, though it looks unlikely, but they'll have a bigger game at wembley to come in the play off's.

They are very much the form team in the Championship though.

 

[pride in battle]

Don't concede early and we should be fine

 

[man on the moon]

Remember the old addage "he who underestimate's their opponent ends up with shite on their dick"........or something like that :)

Brilliant goal with a nut-meg bonus.

I originally thought we'd only make a few changes for his, but seeing how tired some of the players were on Wednesday makes me think we'll rotate a bit more. Maybe something like this?

Trafford
Nunes
Khusanov
Ake
Ait-Nouri
Gonzalez
Bernardo
Reijnders
Foden
Savinho
Marmoush

Nothing wrong with that team if they play as well as we know they can.

 

[kun]

Trafford
Nunes Khusanov Guéhi O'Reilly
Nico G Bernardo
Savinho Cherki Doku
Haaland

Take off Bernardo, Haaland, Cherki, Doku, O'Reilly if the game is won.

Alarms just gone off for another trip down to Wembley, all the years i was envious of teams going now it’s like a second home. Hopefully going again in a few weeks ;-)

Huge car park that one and the pub used to be The Flag but is now O’Neills. Think you can get a train from Watford Junction to Wembley Central and the walk about 20 mins from there. Watford underground is a bit further away and takes you to Wembley Park.

Yeah that’s the one we’re gonna go for! Thanks pal

It. Can be a long boring trip especially on the way home when i travel on National Express coach’s. Even if we win there no joyful environment. They Seem a really miserable lot the last thing wanted on a long journey at the night

We’re stopping over avoids all that shite.

Breakfast TV just put a clip of City and Haaland lifting the FA cup reporting City are back home today for the semi final .
Rick Parry was stood directly behind Haaland whilst he lifted the cup , he looked like he was about to burst into tears , the contempt on his face was immeasurable , haha hope he’s there today .

 

[heslops barnet]

I can’t remember Pep ever doing that in a cup.

Every time we do it in the league, we turn to shit. That rag game when we should have won 10-0 but ended up conceding 3 being one of them.

Other than our bogey side when we only had 10 men, I don’t remember losing to a lower league side with Pep in Charge.

We will be fine (hopefully :-) )

I’m gutted I’m not going but it’s the wife’s 50th party tomorrow so it was a non starter for me!

I’m sure she wouldn’t have missed you, still tickets available….

 

[heslops barnet]

Trafford
Nunes Khusanov Guéhi O'Reilly
Nico G Bernardo
Savinho Cherki Doku
Haaland

Take off Bernardo, Haaland, Cherki, Doku, O'Reilly if the game is won.

That’s the sensible plan but doubt it will happen that way

Ah yes, recall those kiosks before - Level Head I think might have been the one I had last time - thanks
(Shame on the Guinness though)

Chas, you could get a London to Mcr National express, find out you've won the lotto on the journey and still be suicidal when you get to Mcr.

Yes sadly that the General census of travelling with national Express.
