What was your first ever FA cup game?
Mine was Saints v Arsehole 1978. My dad took me and we sat in the west stand at the Dell. I think we got beat 2 - 0 but I was hooked anyway. My old man was a skate but said I should support saints so I could go and see them as I grew up because they were my local side. He was a proper gent and I miss him every day. R.i.P. Lowy. |

Why is it - apart from the fact they can’t bear to be proved wrong - that some people on here persist in always blaming Ralph when we lose a well fought match. I for one am getting heartily sick of all these “Ralph is no good” comments. If you don’t like what’s going on at the Saints, why don’t you just bugger off and go and support somebody else, like Pompey?
Because as has been pointed out numerous times, football is a game of fine margins and on another day we’d have scored three more goals, but on this occasion luck wasn’t with us and we didn’t. But that doesn’t mean we played badly or that Ralph was somehow responsible for us not hitting the back of the net mote than once. That’s just the way the cookie crumbles.
My own view was that I thought that three games in a short space of time just looked as if it was catching up with the squad, and they seemed to be just a tad off the pace at times, none more so than Broja. Hopefully by next weekend they would have got some if their puff back.
So I remain as happy and confident as ever that we are going to have a good second half of the season and more than anything else we will continue to see GOOD ENTERTAINING FOOTBALL AT ST MARY’S and I don’t see what more could we possibly ask for. |

When I read the article my reaction was exactly as Highfield commented. As a ST holder I watch every opposition and of course want Saints to win every game. But also witnessing some of the best players on the planet is also part of the experience. If our lads can be competitive against the leagues best then so much the better.

Comment | Last Couple Of Hundred Tickets Left For Southampton V Manchester City.

In recent years we have struggled to beat City, in the last 5 seasons plus this season, we have beaten them just once in 12 games in both the league and cup, we have conceded 29 goals and scored just 8.
The gap is widening, even in our one win we were absolutely battered and scored with literally our only real attempt, they had 74% of the ball.
Personally I want to watch games of football that are competitive in a league that is competitive |

in my view Nick it's another nail in the coffin of your relentless support for a European Superleague, or whatever you want to call it. The game is not always about winning and, thankfully, not about drab afternoons watching the likes of Burnley churning out their version of the sport. Why wouldn't we want to say that we saw the greats of the game other than on a tv screen? As much as I have my indelible memories of Paine, Davies, Channon, Ball, Shilton, Keegan, LeTiss etc, etc, etc I also treasure watching the greats of Man Utd, Arsenal, and a few others, even when we were on the losing end. You think it's strange but to me it's no different to any other live experience in sport or music, in other words "I was there" and let's not forget we do actually beat the Uniteds and Cities. Personally, a result against City brings more of a glow than points against teams who I struggle to recognise most of the names on the team sheet. |

Bit of a free hit on Saturday. Looking forward to it though. Game very nearly sold out. Should be a good atmosphere, under the lights for a later kick off. We nearly beat them up at their place, after not being given a clear penalty. They are clear at the top, so may be due a defeat, after a run of victories? We should have a few more players back too. Let's hope we can get a surprise result. |

Postponed again.
This is getting beyond farcical.
The way this is going, the season is going to end up played out in the courts. |

Overall a fair assessment Nick.
Wolves are very astute tactically and "streetwise" as well as being effective and efficient in what they do.
We were not bad but failure to take our chances, plus the errors and some naivety on our part and then add in the poor decisions by the officials all culminated in our defeat.
I kind of feel (again) that we just need to get across the line and hopefully build in the summer so that we can challenge at a higher level in the league. I know some are already arguing we are safe but after last years second half of the season I will not assume we are until we actually are. |

Wolves are a Premier League team that just do not score goals. On Saturday they scored THREE times. You can shout and scream VAR, Penalty decisions, divers or inevitably, poor referees, but it was almost bound to be the weekend the Wolves suddenly discovered the ability to hit the back of the net. Our team is playing immeasurably better now than two months ago, but under the direction and leadership of Pochettino this is the kind of game we would have won and won impressively. We have the players to be a first class Premier League side and we should all know by now how Wolves play - so I still question the ability of our present manager to set out our team appropriately and then make the best use of the substitutes available. I am a great fan of JWP who once again was left wondering why he was left on the bench. An appalling error in team selection. Tella and Diallo are players with enormous potential but being asked to perform out of position and roles they are unsuited to. If only Ralph has someone alongside him to assist in getting things right from team selection to team substitutions, we would already be watching the best Saintq side for many many years. |

Unless I have missed something and not reading the Southampton website correctly, I am surprised that the tickets for this game have not been announced or gone on sale yet with only 3 weeks to go. I think the TV matches have been selected unless I am mistaken.
