This is really noticeable for me. My lad, 11 has absolutely loved it this year as we all have; his face at Wembley was a picture and great to see him 'singing' along with us all too. Before Christmas he was not overly fussed about us renewing season tickets, on the way home on Saturday he asked "can we have season tickets again next year?" These types of matches, these type of performances, players and management busting a gut to win everything and build proper relationships with fans is what we've missed for years and is the key to getting the younger generation loving the club. Good times.

I think that’s the point. For the few of them that went there was zero atmosphere

Only grief my daughter (who's only 12) and i got on the way back was from pompey dicks.....walking to the train, and then on the train too. One even got escorted away from the train by transport police for knocking on the train window from the platform and giving it the w@nker gesture to a few of us. Was some "lively" banter with citeh fans walking back but it was all pretty good natured.

Yeah like all clubs we've all got our tossers sadly. But that just a reflection of society. All I saw was both sets of fans being pretty respectful, with some good banter between them. I was shocked how bad they were though, I always had good respect for their fans as they've always been pretty humble and respectful, whilst also being pretty loud "proper" fans. But it was strange fromthem Saturday, generally heard them once or twice. Not sure if thats because we were so loud for most of the game, or whther they just didn't sing. I know it's a second home for them, and we're "small fry" but I would still expect the ones that turned up to be pretty loud.

Next Saturday we need some plants in the Ipswich crowd to start the rumour that Saints are losing 3-0 at Preston so that they give up trying for a bit; then panic when their bench tells them the truth..

I just tried to do an accumulator on Betfair to work it out, but they're not offering odds on ours or Ipswich's final games until after we've played each other tomorrow night.

I do like buying the odd collaboration item. I bought a Seiko x Transformers watch a couple of years ago. First due to thinking it was cool but now as a keepsake. Its helped that its doubled in price due to the limited number! I have a couple of Street Fighter x Reebok pairs of trainers and a Fanatics Football x Football top (New Orlean Saints!) Not sure if should keep or sell now.

Tomorrow will be our 8th game in 24 days! April has been an incredible month for everyone associated with the club

i don't think Saints have even spent a minute in the top 2 all season have we?, would be hilarious if we got a late goal at Preston to get into it , not going to happen though. Anyone know the odds on Saints to beat Ipswich and Preston and also Ipswich / Millwall failing to beat QPR / Oxford? Must be 100/1 surely

Their poor record in that department dates back to the 80s and the failed attempt on Reagan. Yet they seem to be so much more adept at shooting school kids.

I was beginning to wonder if the OP was still around or if, like so many other Trump suporters, he had deserted the orange one. Clearly the thick, arrogant ex Pompey Poly twat has not yet worked out Trump. He really is that stupid.

In all probability yes. But here's an idea... If we get into a comfortable lead over them tomorrow night (and wipe out their GD advantage), how about we then sub on some fringe players who we don't mind losing to suspension for the last day/playoffs and get them to put in some crunching tackles on Ipswich's best players? Not that I would condone such cynical, unsporting behaviour, of course.

I remember 2012 when all Man City had to do was win at home to QPR to win the league, very nearly didn't until Aguero popped up in stoppage time, but yes that scenario of a comfortable Ipswich win is overwhelming favourite if they need it (I.e dont beat us already)

I doubt it, I think it'll be pretty much a non-event. Ipswich will beat QPR at home fairly comfortably and that'll be the end of it.

Games like this, beating Arsenal and our play off final win have been brilliant for instilling a sense of pride in supporting Saints for the next generation of youngsters growing up, they're bombarded with brainwashing about the "big 6" whether its from glory hunters at school, football youtubers, sky TV, playing FIFA on the Xbox etc, walking down the steps seeing a sea of 36,000 proud Saints fans , wonderful sight . We had three generations of family with us on Saturday some of which were at Wembley in 76 , nice moment to have.

I have been much less of a critic of Bazunu than most on here but have to admit that Perez has been a major uplift for the team and a significant reason for the improvement in the club's fortunes.

Quite possibly, but Qpr are a little bit like Bristol, party poopers when there's no need. Could see them really frustrating Town on the last day. Its going to be a mad last day, that's for sure.

Oh yeah. Sorry it's still early on a Monday morning and I mis-read your post. I assumed you were referring to the battle for second.

That's what I meant 6th place being the last play off place. Got a feeling Derby will get it.

No i think even if we beat Ipswich they are still likely to beat Millwall to 2nd place, they would just need to win at home to QPR

They have really shit assassins these days

can’t be true, he’d have missed the wall

As the season died out for Saints women it was a cracking end to the game to grab a point against top of the table Charlton, who are having a little wobble. We finish the campaign away at Forest next Sunday. We also lost Pompey out of the league, which would be funny in the men’s game, but not so much in the women’s game as it is a big fixture in the season lost and the chance to promote the women’s game on the south coast. With Bournemouth screwing up their promotion chances we will not have a south coast game next season. With one game left it will be Watford joining us from the south and Burnley from the north (another game for me to go to) and there will be a playoff place for one other with a playoff between 2nd in each of the north and south leagues Plymouth v Wolves. I would expect it will be another rebuild as it will be every season as the WSL clubs come in and flash the cash as well as Newcastle in our league. This is the unfortunate state we find ourselves in even in the women’s game as it is a career for them as well. So who know what next season will hold.

Beat Ipswich, and there's a good chance Millwall get second place. Although, it would be nice going into the last day with a shot at auto's, there's no way Millwall are going to slip up at home against and already relegated Oxford. So where does that leave us? Rest players, take our foot off the gas, upset our wonderful momentum. Go hard, risk injury/suspension to key players, preserve the curveted forth spot & drop Town into the play off mix. Lots to consider, but only really one outcome. We need to win. Worry about ourselves, and see how the chips land. Glad Tonda gets to make the decisions. He's got a better brain than me.

I actually really fucking hate city. Corporate, soulless financial cheaters. Their accolades mean nothing. I won’t even watch the final as it’s cheats v cheats. Two clubs that are literally a stain on football
