Matthew Oakley believes Saints can go all the way in the FA Cup this year - but warned his teammates not to spend too long thinking about it.
In-form Oakley says too much thinking ahead could lead to Saints being out of the famous competition by 5pm today.
The lynchpin midfielder was in confident mood going into this afternoon's fifth-round clash at home to Norwich with a place in the quarter-finals beckoning for the winners.
Saints are one of only seven Premiership teams left in the tournament before the start of this weekend's fixtures - and at least one of the big two, Manchester United or Arsenal, will be out by the time Monday's sixth-round draw is made.
Oakley said: "I've seen a lot of first division managers saying they think there will be a first division side in the final this year.
"If that's what they're thinking, then we've got to think we've got a good chance.
