1, Why where the front rows covered up in our end, that wasn't the case for the league game up there in December, so why did they do it and waste about 400 seats that could have been sold to us.
2. Why do some people get so uptight about not only individual players but also the team, this was essentially a reserve side out there, we all knew that and that the performance would not be as good as it would be with the first choice players out, encouragement was needed not abuse.
3. Why was the FA Cup draw at 2.45 pm on a Sunday whilst matches were going on.
4. Why did Wesley Hoedt get less stick than he did in the League game, now I don't particularly think he deserved the dogs abuse in the league game, but it was loud and often, we only got about 2 chorus's on Sunday,
5. it's still 20 games unbeaten for me, |  |

Hoedt seemed to be enjoying the abuse and I think he had a half decent game for them.
The front rows were closed off for Chesterfield as well. Maybe they are only allowed 4000 away fans?
I understand there were songs about libraries in a pub beforehand.
People were moaning about the lack.of alcohol. Is a pint in a football ground ever actually worth it?
I am pretty sure I have never seen us lose at Watford and must have been 6 or 7 times. |  | | |

On a day when football was shamed by the actions of fans at The Hawthorns, I was disgusted at half time yesterday to see Nick clearly entering the gents toilet via the exit door. Disgraceful behaviour. |  | | |

You could be right about the 4,000 away fans, I rarely have a pint in the ground, you have to queue for ages and it is overpriced cr*p.
I saw us lose the first time I ever went to Watford and they scored 6 or 7 times | |

Some of the lot round by us in the ground were hilarious. Of course we had the usual "is this a library" and "I've got a shed bigger than this", but the bellendary was taken further by not being able to sing OWTS to the right tune, constantly abusing the other man bun player Watford had in their side thinking it was Hoedt and my personal favourite of singing "your city is red, your city is red....just like Southampton, your city is red".
I'm the same at Watford....been loads and still undefeated. |  |

Jesus that summary makes me glad i didn't go, I'm starting to wonder if a section of our away support isn't just some kind of weird comedy scripted by Chris Morris with the aim of showing up football fans, because surely they can't be that f*cking stupid can they? |  | | |

I actually can't even work out who they thought they were singing about with that? I mean Watford isn't a city, Luton famously wear white, and i can't think of any clubs near them that do wear red, unless they think they have a rivalry with Stevenage? | | | |

Caught red handed, usually I walk in backwards so as to appear that I am actually walking out and not in

I guess they're saying, there are so many saints fans in your town, you are overwhelmed with red? |  | | |

I'm not convinced i'd credit them with that level of intelligence but i guess it's possible. | | | |

Another highly amusing part of the day was our ridiculously poor timing on leaving the pub, right at the moment a mob of our yoof weirdo's were bouncing down Watford High Street like they owned the place. Must have been about 20/30 of them, all with plastic pints in their hands, singing their mongy songs and just being tits.
What made it so funny was they all had to stop to cross a main road where there was a build up of other fans already waiting, and in unison, they all stopped signing at the same time. About 30 seconds later, the traffic stopped, the green man came on, everyone started crossing the road and they immediately all started singing and being bellends again. | |

The draw was at 3:15pm due to the crowd trouble at WBA/Wolves game. The delay this caused meant there wasn't enough time to have it before the Liverpool game kicked off at 2:30 as was planned.
For me, the game was gone when the draw was moved from it's spiritual home of mid-way through The One Show on a Monday evening. |  |

I didn't hear any of that, but I am getting on a bit so maybe my hearing's not so good. I did, however, hear a few muppets behind me screaming the type of abuse at Mason Holgate that made you wonder if he'd murdered their granny.
My most interesting take from yesterday was the chant "Wesley Wesley, you're a c**t". Yes, it's a very bad insult, but at least we were being polite enough to address him by his forename. Whereas against Walsall we had "Lumley, Lumley, what's the score?" which, for me, was just a little bit too impersonal. | | | |

'Your City Is Red' = That was the Watford Wetherspoons, pre-match.
Special mention to the bloke who was sitting somewhere near the front entrance doors and cleared the area a few times with the most vile of farts. [Post edited 29 Jan 15:23]

That would be 7 I'd guess cos we thought we were already through a League Cup having gone there with a 4 - 0 lead from a 2 legged tie and it finished 7 - 4 or 5 aggregate? Can't think why it was over 2 legs as I don't recall it being a semi-final
Early 80's ish? |  | | |

Stood next to a bloke and 2 sons and I’m not sure any of them opened there mouth once, not a word not a clap nothing, very strange, not even a cheers as we moved to let them past.
My son loved it, only his 2nd away game. He wasn’t allowed to join in with the Wesley song |  |

I vaguely remembered the 2nd round of the League Cup 80-90's being 2 legged, don't know dates it started and finished.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986%E2%80%9387_Football_League_Cup
The 1st round, between the lower league clubs was also 2 legs, the top Div would enter in the 2nd and I seem to remember it being seeded so all top tier clubs would play a lower tier club home and away, see above. Liverpool won 13-2, Man Utd 7-2 on agg. |  | | |

Lost 7-1 in the League Cup after a comfortable 4-0 home win in the first leg. | | | |

7-1 after extra time,5-1 after 90 mins, no away goals
Finished so late pubs were closed by time game finished so couldn’t even consult ourselves with a pint after the match
Also Steve Williams had a brilliant free kick disallowed near end of 90mins, as ref I think said he took it before he blown his whistle |  | | |

I was at that 7.1 game . Was living in Andover at the time. I knew I had missed my last train home so walked up and down the away end until I recognised someone I knew. A bloke I used to chat to in the ground at the Dell had driven up ( from Soton) dropped me off on his way home.

Very odd | | | |

For some support is about shouting abuse at the team and individual players when a pass is misplaced or a throw in conceded on the half way line | |

I was pleasantly surprised at the low amount of times any library songs were rolled out considering at how quiet the home crowd were.
Definitely the quietest I been too, including SMS 😉
Only heard them once, near the end and we shut them up by scoring halfway thru their song 😂 |  | | |

Ironically - considering the changes talked about for St Marys - one of the reasons that Vicarage Road sounds quiet is because their "main" end is the Rookery which is opposite the away stand, so the sound doesn't carry. | | | |
