Who cares?
It was a poor game at Hillsborough in the `69 semi final.Who cares?
In good company as well.Who cares?
Cambridge at home in the playoffsWell, that was a first - our oppo in a big game froze, didn’t turn up. Very nice indeed.
Can anyone remember that happening before?
Good shoutCambridge at home in the playoffs
Such was the poor standard of technique on show I never felt the slightest nerves. I was embarrassed a bit because we only played to our standards in patches. I think nerves got to both sides and the foul count and poor finishing meant a stuttering, error strewn affair.
Yes, I know all about the importance of the result but looking forward to meeting Chelsea, unless we regain our ability to control games we will be in the position that S'oton were yesterday, second favourites.
The introduction of a half fit Madds and the ever grafting MarcA saw a noticeable improvement near the end, as we had square pegs in square holes. Fortunatelty S'oton did not play above themselves. as they needed to.
A positive is that we won without approaching our best and falling back on guts and graft were enough.
So does the result mean the performance need not be examined? No, because in most matches the one leads to the other.

Funny you should mention you didn't feel nervous because I had a few twitchy moments in the first half when Southampton pressed and harried as we tried to play out from the back, sometimes too elaborately for my liking. All it needed was one error or a good foot in from a Saints player and we could have been in trouble. Sometimes a more direct approach seemed more appropriate - at least less intricate passing in the danger area when under pressure.
I was just repeating wot karen Carney said lol say no more.Oxon, the average pitch size of the 'big six' is 105x67m, Wembley is 105x75m, so a bit wider than most.
Ours is 105x68..
The grass is supposed to be an energy sapper but Glen Hoddle says it is no longer as it is not exceptional now...
I know, I should get out more...
