Bournemouth Game on 12:33 - Mar 16 with 1705 views | Bicester_North | That second half on Sunday was enough to knock the excitement out of even the most excitable clapper. I was of the view that our best XI or so was a match for anybody so a cup win was possible, but the abject display against Brighton when we had almost a full strength team has taken the optimism that we could pull off a shock against the big teams if we get through. Add to that the sterile experience of watching on TV with no mates, and empty stadiums, and it’s a bit shit really | |

That completely reflects how I feel. Any excitement I did have evaporated with our meek and inadequate performance on Sunday. | | | |

This. Not sure I'd be excited even with a trip to Wembley in prospect. The last FA Cup semi-final there with that similarly mediocre Hughes team was no fun. This season is only going to be 'exciting' again if we get properly sucked into a relegation fight, and even that looks unlikely! | |

Bournemouth Game on 13:15 - Mar 16 with 1633 views | Centurion | Most people are more concerned about the league now. FA Cup seems a luxury and even win against Bournemouth is surely a stay of execution until the next round. | | | |

spot on all that talk of the city game being a free hit and players are back for the weekend looks like a false dawn now newcastle aside that was the most abject dispiriting disheartening sh1te display by a team of so called professionals in a long long time I know everyone says they would take a cup win over staying in the PL but I think getting relegated will be the death knell for us lets just hope the players realise that post international break - which btw I usually hate but think we damn well need it this time to refocus and get our sh*t together | | | |
Bournemouth Game on 13:30 - Mar 16 with 1614 views | 1885_SFC | I lost any enthusiasm for the season after the Newcastle away defeat. That was the end for me. If the team couldn't be arsed that night then neither could I. Brighton on Sunday just mirrored those thoughts. No one at the club appears to give a shÃt. The cup game should be causing a buzz, but instead it's going to be a very nervous affair because, apart from us being shÃt, even at 2-0 up we're likely to f*ck that up! Get the season over. Finish 15th/16th and see what the Summer brings. I might get my Saints-supporting mojo back by the start of the new season. | |

Yes, I agree, it's a bit like the mood was before that semi-final v Chelsea. Nobody wants to get their hopes up. [Post edited 17 Mar 2021 10:13]

15 or 16th?? it will be 17th i think by the skin of our teeth What a shambles really after where we were pre Xmas, beggars belief | | | |
Bournemouth Game on 15:04 - Mar 16 with 1494 views | SonicBoom | I just like to talk about Saints with some pride. It was great when we were top half. I had that feeling that we could beat anyone. But we have barely got a point in nearly a third of the season. We have been spanked by a record margin AGAIN, and let in three times as many as we've scored recently. The only team we beat was Sheffield United who are pretty much the worst PL team ever. On Sunday I was getting messages from all over taking the P out of us and saying we got done by Brighton and looked way off the pace. So no, I'm not excited. At least we are proving the fact that Saints aren't just crap at home because of the fans.... | | | |
Bournemouth Game on 15:21 - Mar 16 with 1479 views | TimSaint | For me, it's got to the stage where I am hoping that Bournemouth will have a really energy sapping game v Swansea tonight AND pick up further injuries and suspensions !! Will take any win on Saturday, followed by a team and tactics reboot during the international break, get a few more players back from injury and really kick on in both the league and Cup for the last 2 months of the season. | |

Bournemouth Game on 16:34 - Mar 16 with 1390 views | Sadoldgit | I was looking forward to this match up until last week. After the City and Brighton matches I am worried that we are going to get turned over by Bournemouth, that our confidence will take even more of a nose dive and that we will continue to struggle through the rest of the season. Losing I can take. Going down I can live with if it were to happen. What depresses me is the lack of fight and application over 90 minutes. I think that we are all fed up with aimlessly passing the ball back and forth around the back and playing tippy tappy football in dangerous areas in our own half. If we are going to lose, at least go down fighting and give us something to be proud of. | | | |

I would never have thought that we would be in the mess we find ourselves after the victory over Liverpool in January. Only Saints could do this. Let's hope we survive relegation. The Cup is now a side show, even a distraction. | | | |

Imagine if he puts out a full strength side and they meekly submit, what hope that the squad buck up their ideas for the rest of the season? They seem to be going through the motions like a side that has just clinched PL safety. | | | |

I think that just about sums most feelings up Afraid that lethargy is dwindling down through to the fans/supporters now - well it is me. Not at all as confident of a win now as I was when the draw was made | | | |
Bournemouth Game on 18:02 - Mar 16 with 1286 views | 1ASIN12 | The football has been crap of late , there is a real danger that Bournemouth will turn us over and we will probably never live it down in their eyes . However even with all that if we could have gone then I’d been really looking forward to it . Early train down a few beers before and a curry after and a slim chance of wembley again . It’s hard to get excited about watching football on TV with no fans there . it will be typical that Saints finally win a cup and it will , in my eyes be a bit of a damp squid with if no fans allowed to attend . | | | |

I heard the FA are going to use the FA Cup Final as a testing ground to allow fans back into games? | |

Bournemouth Game on 18:45 - Mar 16 with 1243 views | kingolaf | It’s the style of our football that is boring me. Too much tippy tappy sideways backwards propaganda football. Djenepo made some decent runs in behind on Sunday, but instead of playing it through we chose to go sideways. And this was when we were 2-1 down and chasing the game. Boring, negative, turgid crap. | | | |

Bournemouth Game on 18:29 - Mar 17 with 1030 views | Number_58 | I used to love FA Cup quarter finals. The prospect of getting to a semi-final used to be really exciting - neutral ground, brilliant day out, etc, but since they moved them all to Wembley it's just not the same. That said, I'm sure my enthusiasm will perk up should we get past Bournemouth. | | | |
Bournemouth Game on 21:31 - Mar 17 with 968 views | grumpy | The game against Brighton was an embarrassment, all the worse for being on mainstream tv. This team has to show some courage and move the ball forward not sideways so much. Haven't the fans suffered enough with two 9-0 defeats and this miserable run, if we lose to Bournemouth after losing to Brighton I would fear for the rest of the season. | | | |
Bournemouth Game on 22:20 - Mar 17 with 933 views | Kennington | Frankly a bit jaded with saints. Would be great if we progress and who knows even get to a final. Just hacks me right off that we are or rather should be an established premier league team having been in this league since 2012. A time that there has been more money than ever on top level English football. However, due to the abject running of the club we only have two recognised full backs, one of those KWP has barely played 50 senior games and there’s also a mountain of debt. That’s after selling every player that possibly could be sold until there was no one left to sell. How does a premier league team, supposedly the best league on the world end up with such a brittle squad? The answer is it’s either RH’s fault for wanting a tiny squad or the owner for not providing funds. I know where my guess is and it’s not Ralph. There’s no doubt that Kat, Gao and the various directors like Les, Krueger etc have run the club into the ground and is probably not much better off than the months before we last went into administration 15 years or so ago. | |

Bournemouth Game on 23:13 - Mar 17 with 901 views | dirk_doone | Just watched the highlights of the Bournemouth v Swansea game. They score from left wing crosses and corners, which is exactly how we concede goals because we don't man mark the main aerial goal threats with our tallest defenders and we don't put a man on the line at the near post and every opposition manager knows that.
