Hard game. Southampton are no mugs but at least it's at home.
Wouldn't fancy it away.

Southampton not bad, can live with that and getting a £20 ticket.
Didn't they knock us out last season?
I'm in two minds. Either go out v Southampton and focus on staying in the top 4 or go through and face a mentally damaging two legged semi against Manchester United or Liverpool

No, Sheffield Wednesday last season.
It has to be progression in the competition, I can't understand how you could be in two minds.
Or... win them both?Originally Posted by Ernesto

NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Nah that was the season before.Didn't they knock us out last season?

The squad's a lot deeper and we're *touches wood* seemingly less injury prone right now so I don't think it's a major issue, provided we play the same sort of lineup we've done before (squaddies plus top youngsters). If anything, we need the games to give the likes of Giroud, Perez, Gibbs etc etc game time to keep them reasonably happy.
It's a bonus cup this one, so if we can get to the end and lift it, great. Shrug of the shoulders if we don't but would be nice to tick this box off for Wenger in domestic terms.
New 'softer' training pitch in use apparently, along with the two new fitness gurus, hopefully will ensure we only pick up knocks rather than a list of season ending injuries yet again.
I don't mind paying Southampton, at least when we win the cup they can't accuse us of only playing Championship sides to get to the final.
Just seen the implementation of the Xhaka rule.

We've probably seen about 200 identical challenges since Xhaka. None of them punished with a red card.
