And, we're off.....2016/17

[Papas1982]

Can't understand Southampton. Won't get relegated. Not going to finish in a European spot so why not go all out for another cup run

We have a tiny squad. And Puel rotates every week no matter what.

Id rather we played a full team, but being in one final I'd much prefer us to have a fully fit first 11 to face Utd in Feb.

Plus, our youth need a shot somewhere, gotta keep those Liverpool ££££'s rolling in!

Was concerning for Spurs, but credit to the lads for keep fighting. Pleased it didn't go to a replay.
All credit to Wycombe, they put up spirited performance.

Danny's Well back.

 

[ColchesterFC]

What do Liverpool supporters honestly think?

Wenger out?

 

[Papas1982]

Danny's Well back.

Yep. A goal against our reserves! Bit of a waste playing him in this fixture as it's one of his (fully fit quota) exhausted before he gets a paper cut.

As a nuetral to this game, it'd be nice to see some of the English lads put on a good performance and give Southgate a few options.

Make that two against your reserves

thats 4 weeks away though, bit early to be saving players for isnt it. really dont get why Southampton arent playing a first team in this game, or do the players need resting for their mid table battle

great chance to beat arsenal today and progress and decided not to even compete

seems as though the cup is totally dead now bar a few sides

Apparently Arsenal are going to declare at half-time and have a bowl in the 2nd half...

Make it 3.

Quality from Arsenal and that should be us in the next round already.

 

[MegaSteve]

Perhaps Mr Wenger should sit in the stands more often...

How come Saints are playing their reserves? Bet the fans feel a bit miffed!

I think we will rotate til the final. We will be safe in league so Cup is priority. Lots of teams our level do it.

Why are arsenal Resting Players? Granted their reserves are above our, bit of we'd played full team they could have been in trouble and they've got no other actual,honours to play for.

He could score 6 or 7, wouldn't really be too bothered. We took a punt, it's gone wrong. We've only one priority now this season.

Same reason Arsenal are.

Same reason Arsenal are.

Arsenal bigger upcoming priorities (plus much more strength in depth). Find it odd Soton would prioritise, say, one league place higher finish than chance at a trophy.

Witht the greatest respect. We are in a final. For us, that's as big as it comes. We aren't resting for the league, although 3 league places higher in league is worth more than fa cup.

You have an impending defeat in the CL and then what? A battle for 4th?

id say the fa cup is again your best chance of a trophy so if anything, you should have prioritised it.
