    I want to join everyone's enthusiasm but this will be a very difficult match when you look at both squads.
    Saying that we weren't supposed to win in 76....

    On our day we can beat them. I didn't think we would draw let alone win at anfield... and get plaudits. This is Wembley, the final. Their 11 is certainly better on paper but we are up for it. We are the saints. Marching forward together. I believe. Praise the lord! Amen.

    We've had to beat four Premier League teams to get to the final, including Arsenal away and Liverpool over two legs.
    Beating Man Utd in the final isn't that much tougher than those fixtures.
    I wonder how much more confident we'd be feeling right now if Virgil hadn't been Vardy'd.

    I think, apart from His Rickieness, I miss Deano the most from that era. Great player, and a great captain.

    I love Deano. Much man love.

    So does CBK, but seeing as he only really posts when we're **** and things are miserable, he can do one - Deano's mine!,

    And don't forget that goal - the one for me that gave belief we could do the Championship. And did!

    I assume you mean the one against Leeds, first home game? We certainly never looked back.

    Nathan talking about his goal v Liverpool. So important as even that small lead set up the game plan for the second leg.

    For those good with odds....

    If a 1-0 Saints win is 10/1 and JWP to score first is 18s what am I likely to get on both?

    Simply a case of having a friend who put his ear to the ground for me, and I got lucky. Friend of a friend thing. Only wants face value too.
    I'm a lucky ****er!
