Was anyone else caught up in the crowds between the Northam exits and the Saints bar/TV fanzone area? It was so crowded that all I could do was a River Dance impression, with both my arms pinned to my sides. It was very good-natured, but it seemed that everyone from The Kingsland was trying to get round the side of the ground, towards The Itchen side, whilst at the same time, everyone from the Northam was trying to get to the bridge over the railway line. Nothing untoward happened (at least, I didn't see or hear anything untoward), but I wonder if it happened because the club had closed off the normal exit route, past the away fans? If so, it probably needs to be looked at, although I suspect that the next time it will matter will be our home semifinal in the playoffs. So we'll need to get autos, by winning everything from now on

Only important thing - I hope this doesn't become a distraction from the league for the players. Its a good challenge to have, but we need to stay grounded and continue plugging away in the Championship.

Honestly I know I always go on about the cups but **** the league at this point, we're on the verge of something truly special.

I'd genuinely be resting a couple of players against Bristol City on the 21st. If we can pick up a good points return in the next few we can probably afford to.

I am truly gutted to have missed this last night.

I made the foolish mistake of writing the game off, and focusing my finances on the remaining league games.

Absolute fool over here.

I said the minute the draw happened we had a chance. Only team I didn't want was City and they justified that by destroying Liverpool.

One thing I forgot to say is how well Manning did last night. So impressed with how he dealt with Dowman and then him AND Madueke. While on a yellow card. Fair play to him, he's really upped his game. Really good to have healthy competition at LB with him and Welington.

He was outstanding. Losing his place to Wellington a few months back seems to have really lit a fire in him.

Fair ****ing play to him, one of my favourites currently.

Hoping we get the Sunday game - reckon I can disembark from Arvia and get to Wembley for 4pm.

If its Saturday then i'm hoping the ship pub is running the game, extra keen to be there since I missed the play-off final.

Thank you for sharing dohnut. Guy with the green screen needs to take a break from the game for his own sake. And the disrespect from the last chap deserved to be punished with that crushing disappointment.

So much to pick apart there, but what is with that Welsh Arsenal fan with the Wrexham alternative kit in the background. Is this a real life half and half scarf ****er in the wild?

Also, they really are a toxic fanbase - Immediately a guy calling Odegaard a fraud and telling him to get out of the club, some of their fans calling for Arteta to be sacked.... they are 9 points clear in the League with 7 games to go, even though City have a game in hand that is an excellent place to be.
 
My bank balance ****ing hates me at the moment. Who'd have thought that a season following Saints could cost almost as much money as a crippling cocaine problem <laugh>

All theory at the moment but I've decided if we win the semi I'm sacking off the play offs if we finish in them.

Shea Charles has only scored 4 times for us, but already deserves a highlight reel! :D

Ignoring his first goal vs Liverpool

Winner vs Leicester in the 4-3 comeback
Screamer vs Oxford
and now the winner vs Arsenal.

Another player has come on leaps and bounds since Martin left and Tonda has taken charge. Still has a brain farther but no longer a liability
