[ozzy-shrimper]

We're the famous Southend United and we're going to Wembley...

 

[McNasty]

When is the match ?

 

[pickledseal]

Winnable! I'd hate to see Di Canio beat us... Shame we won't have Timlin :(

 

[Silencer]

Pretty sure Sky have been showing a Paint Trophy tie from each round this year.... I reckon there is a decent chance we could be the live match.

Were top, Sturrock against former side and then the whole Di Canio circus!!!!

 

[SUFCStu]

Very winnable.

Would love to get back at them after that defeat 12 games ago :winking:

 

[Silencer]

Winnable! I'd hate to see Di Canio beat us... Shame we won't have Timlin :(

Or maybe he can play...this is from the Di Canio link in the thread about Timlin costing us money in Jan

“In the FA Cup I don’t mind (that they play in the competition),” added Di Canio.
“The league is different but in this competition I am not worried if my team play against Michael Timlin or Billy Bodin because I know them, I know their quality and weaknesses so it can be good for us.”

When is the match ?

Area Semi Finals - Tuesday 6th / Wednesday 7th December 2011

So I would guess the Tuesday.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Good to get a home tie.

Winners guaranteed to play the Bees in the Area Final.

 

[tommy tucker]

win and we are two games from wembley .And a two legged area final against Barnet would be nice .

 

[Smiffy]

Bearing in mind our incredible home record under the lights, you have to be happy with that draw. Not easy, but certainly winnable.

 

[Csboy]

Didnt we play them in the area semi-finals back in 2001? Seem to remember us scoring a golden goal to end the game in injury time then it was brentford in the area finals that year.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

We'll be happier with the draw than they will.

True and I know that he has played in the JPT and FA cup, but against his own side? There must be a clause in the loan about games against Swindon.

Can't see him being available for this one.

Barnet have beaten Col U, Gillingham and Cheltenham all away from home so far in this comp. Maybe they all rested players and Barnet didn't? I know we all wanted Barnet, and Brentford will be the happiest of all 4 teams, but fingers crossed they might pull off a surprise.

Its going to be tough, but having the game at home makes it so much better. Great chance of progressing to the area finals :)

Winners guaranteed to play the Bees in the Area Final.

Why are you so certain of that. As Ex- Trust said Barnet have had a pretty good run so far and nothing is certain, lets just concentrate on getting past Swindon!

 

[Jai]

Err they are both nicknamed the Bees...
