Match Day Thread Dirty Leeds vs Alehouse Brawlers Championship Playoff Final Sunday 26th May 2024, 3pm

Think that is more an issue with Wembley then the fans. Sound doesn't travel great in that stadium apart from that next to you.

 

I’ve always liked Ndidi

 

What a day!

Winning the playoffs is the way to get promoted. Being champions is a bit of a damp squib by comparison

One of the best Saints days ever

Fans awesome
Great to see Wembley 90%+ full of fans and not many corporates

When we got back to the pub we’re staying at we were knackered and hoarse

A few Leeds fans there and all taking it well

COYS

 

I said a while back I'd rather win the playoffs than finish 2nd. Think yesterday justified that. Just ****ing incredible.

 

The cameras picked him out when play was stopped on 90 minutes for KWP and James clash of heads. Looked like he was absolutely ****ting himself, not sure if hew was thinking about the money at that point. Couldn't blame him if he was

 

There are no limits go totally over the top.

 

On reflection I was wrong. I did (and do) care whether we were playing in the prem or the championship.

All week I've been telling myself and others that I'm happy either way, and for the most part this is true as I far enjoy the atmosphere and matches in the EFL to those souless affairs in the prem...

However, all week and during the match yesterday it was all about Leeds: about them prepping for the final, what can they do to get back into the match, blah blah blah.

This has been true for most of my Saints supporting life where we're the underdog, the plucky little team with the only exception being when we were in L1 and Championship previously.

And you know what, yesterday was all the sweeter for all of that. So roll on next season and let's give a few of those 'bigger clubs' a bloody nose!

COYS!

 

I ****ing love playing Leeds

 

Or nothing. Apart from an auto-play video of the goal and desktop pic of us lifting the trophy on his computer/laptop.

 

Great to see so many ex-saints players that still care. Fair few of them at the game like Davis, Long and Lallana (interesting one considering how much fans make out he doesnt like us) and plenty more leaving comments on social like Yoshida, Pelle, Guly and Lavia.

What was interesting with Lallana, is he was suited and booted in the Saints contingent in the Royal Box. Makes you wonder if there's something lined up there.

He'd be good as a coach tbh. Wouldn't say no.

 

Short contract with a view to a coaching role after 1/2 seasons? Could be a smart move if wages are sensible.

 

Guess one thing good coming from Le Tiss and Lambert going mental, is that we're now seemingly willing to forgive Lallana!

 

Whatever happens with Che, fair play to him, gave us 16 goals without even starting every game, man of his word too!

 

Love that man!

 

Was yesterday real!? Did it really happen? Did our players and fans and club rise to the big occasion and win the play offs? YES WE ****ING DID!!
I know it was real because my throat is in pain again today

WHAT
A
DAY

 

New contract incoming?
