We have never played Southampton in the FA Cup.

We have only met once in the League Cup in the 1994/95 season. They won that 5-0 on aggregate with all 5 goals coming from Matt Le Tissier.

Our most recent meeting, and it is recent, was on the last day of the premier league season; 12th May '19. We drew 1-1 and our equaliser came from Alex Pritchard.

Only £10 for SC holders and concessions available, too.

Kick-off is at 15:01 for all 3rd round ties for us to take a minute to think about mental health as part of the Heads Up campaign.

We have each won the FA Cup once.

Southampton beat Man Utd 1-0 in 1976 and were runners-up in 1900 v Bury, 1902 v Sheffield Utd and 2003 v Arsenal.

We won it 1-0 in 1922 against PNE and were runners-up 1920 v Aston Villa, 1928 v Blackburn Rovers, 1930 v Arsenal and 1938 v PNE.

The FA Cup is the oldest national cup competition in the world and has been contested since the 1871 to 72 season. The first winners were Wanderers FC and the club has reformed to continue the name and now play in the Surrey South Eastern Combination League.

Wanderers FC 1872

QUIZ

Without a sneaky peak on the web, can you answer the following:

1. As well as Wanderers FC, who else has won FA Cup in 3 consecutive years?

2. Which 2 teams have had the most FA Cup final appearances?

3. Which club has the most years between wins? (that record will obviously be taking by us in 2020)

4. Who was the youngest player to score in a final?

5. Which player has been in the most winning finals? (Clue: at 2 clubs)

Guide for visiting supporters

Top scorers for Southampton are Danny Ings on 15, James Ward-Prowse on 4 and Nathan Redmond on 3. Whether they'll bother playing the likes of Ings on Saturday remains to be seen. 

As far as their premier league status goes, they are comfortably mid-table in 12th place on 25 points.

I'm done there... I don't think any of us care about this match. We have to worry about staying in the Championship. I think we will put out some young ones on Saturday and possibly a few of our overpriced prima donnas if we haven't already got rid.

Happy New Year!

Nice one, Chaffers.

1. I'll guess at Blackburn Rovers.

4. It's one of the Allen boys. Can't think of his first name.
5. Mark Hughes

4. Paul Allen.

You been diggin through old copies of The Super Soaraway Scum Snoots or discussing it with workmates at the coffee break? Nice one AmChaff

Don't have a Scooby-Doo who we'll pick, nor Sarfamton for that matter for this one. Sarfamton could pick their U23's and beat us if we keep defending like we did against the lads from Smoke-on-Stench.

They are on a roll and may want to keep it butter side up, on the other hand they might not want any injuries. DC is making all kinds of nice noises about the FA Cup but it's a bit different trying to win glory against a League Club or any much bigger scalp than you if your higher in your lower league than a Prima Donna or Chumpionship club compared to fighting a relegation battle in the Chumpionship against someone doing the same the League above.

Wins breed confidence, yeah I get it, but DC's only enough fit first teamers that want to play to make a starting 11, or so he says. Whatever he does, the cotton wool isn't coming off the likes of Kongolo, Diakhaby, Mbenza and Foghorn Leghorn anytime soon. Boy, I say boy they can all, I say, go boy.
