0:00For reaction to the FA Cup draw a Southampton Ardrawn against Manchester City in the semi-final the FA Cup and you just knew, you just knew, didn't you, that that was going to be the case. You knew that we wouldn't get leads united and when the leads West Amgain finished, I was like, please, please, please play leads because leads were Chelsea. I would love to take it either side on, but we end up with Man City and you just know that I don't want a Man City Chelsea game. They just didn't want it because that would, for them, TV, revenue, it's all about money and loads of fans really disappointed by it. But you know what, I'm actually massively disappointed by it because we're going to Wembley and we can go there and win and I'll tell you why I believe we can go there and win. We've got a wonderful manager in Tondereca and we need both Southampton and leads to go and win their games. Football needs a
1:00Saint Leeds final. It does and I'll tell you why I believe we can go there and win because we will take a lot more fans than Man City. We will take a load more fans. We will load our allocation. They won't, they never do in semi-finals at Wembley. They just don't, they hate going there for a semi-final. I've seen it before. You've seen loads of, loads of empty seats and you know what? We've got a manager in Eckert that's tactically so astute and what he did against a team that were top of the Premier League, quarterfinal of the Champions League. They've been really good this year, Arsenal, up until recent weeks. They're a good side. No matter how many players were rested or missing last night, Saints were superb and the way he set up, the way he stopped them passing, I've seen some tactical shows on its since, I've watched back all the highlights, Saints were so well organised last night and if Saints can go do the same at Wembley with 30 of 1000 travelling fans, it could be insanely good and there could be a massive upset. We're drawn
2:07to Zioei team, so the opportunity that we may wear our yellow strip, our FA Cup, shirt that we've been so good in this year, that's so beautiful by Puma, I love it. But you know what? It's been our lucky omen, so they have to go to the FA now and ask for dispensation to be able to use it because the rule is they have to go back to their standard reges to colours at the start of the season. They've had like a special dispensation to be able to use it. They will ask them for the final, we think they've been drawn to Zioei team, we're at the way team, so the opportunity will be there to hopefully wear yellow. We can turn up in a sea of yellow and create something like we did back at the Millennium Stadium back in 2002 and if we do, it could be a very, very magical afternoon at Wembley Stadium. I am looking forward to it. Are you getting involved in the comments box below? We showed last night that we can absolutely kick us against the best teams in this Premier League, in the Premier League, we can kick us with
3:13the best sides in it. So I believe we could definitely go and cause a really, really big upset. I think we can do it. Get involved in the comments box below, give me all your opinions, Chelsea lead genited, Southampton take on Manchester City and those games will be played on the, well, it will be in either the 25th or the 26th of April, so not many weeks away and the fixtures come thick and fast for Saints. It's relentless. We could play rexim on Tuesday. We're going to play Darby on Saturday, then we're back at home on Tuesday the week after because the Blackburn game is had to be moved. So the Blackburn game has been moved as well. So the games come thick and fast. It's going to be super, super tough to get through the next couple of weeks for the fans and the players. We're going to be traveling all over the place, but I just disappointed that we haven't had the opportunity to play Chelsea or leads. I just knew it. I just
4:13knew it. But yeah, there you go. That's my reaction. That's my thoughts. But I do believe we can go to Wembley and win it. I love to get your honest thoughts and your honest opinions on it as well. Do you think we can go there and win it? We certainly have a manager that can cause big upsets. He proved last night that he is more than capable of putting himself against the best managers and the best teams in the in the country. And as actually what we did, that Blackburn game just to reiterate the kickoff day for that one now is April the 14th. The Saints will host Blackburn Rovers now 8 p.m. on Tuesday the 40th. I believe that that one will be televised for Sky Sports and the FA Cup semi-final will be just after it. It will be just after it. So there you go. That's all my reaction, but it'll be the 25th, the 25th or 26th. So it'll be the week after. Yeah, there you go. That's my thoughts. That's my opinions. Give me yours in the comments box below.
