Full strength city getting a 1-0 vs Burnley (a side we'd fancy ourselves to beat) in a must win game. Albeit they absolutely dominated them and the Burnley keeper was MoTM. https://www.flashscore.com/match/football/burnley-z3dmTMMO/manchester-city-Wtn9Stg0/summary/lineups/?mid=6mtC9buh Very strong side from city though: Ruma Nunes, khusanov, Guehi, Ait-Nouri(off on 65min) Silva, O'reily Semenyo (off on 65min), Cherki, Doku Haaland You have to fancy they'll rotate a fair amount on the back of this - especially with just 3days until the semi final, which might just give us chance 🤷‍♂️ (I am very much aware that whatever side they put out will be superb). May sound mad, but we've secured playoffs, so i fully expect us to go all in on this. That Ipswich game is largely irrelevant to us and they'll be just as jaded as we are. And we are guaranteed 5th now as a minimum unless we somehow fail to beat an absolutely awful Preston side that have been on the beach for weeks and failed to beat both Leicester and qpr recently (and the boro Wrexham remaining games all go against us) . Happy days i say. Their bench still features the likes of Foden, Ake, Kovacic, Marmoush, and Reijnders. Looks likely that Ruben Dias and Rodri will be out of the semi, plus Gvardiol has a broken leg... Whisper it quietly, but they're might just be something in this for us on Saturday, if the cards fall our way anyway. City fans aren't sounding quite so confident after tonight either... https://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/threads/southampton-n-sat-25th-april-17-15-fac-pre-match-thread.371524/

As a Maggies fan who now lives in Fareham I of course was there on Saturday (with our puppy Tilly who got the usual amount of attention!), managed to miss our first goal as I was still in the bar, watched in disbelief as we went 2 up, saw us throw the lead away and then thankfully celebrated the missed penalty at the end. Watching the second half with Le Tiss and getting saints updates from him was an added bonus too. I don't think anyone could believe when the news came through that Archer had scored the winner 🤣 Good luck Saturday v Dorchester, it's going to be tough for you to reach the playoffs but you never know...

If we were playing Leicester you'd be shitting yourself about the pressure being off them now and they'll have a point to prove etc etc etc etc

With or without an arsehole?

Given how close they were, the lino couldn't conceivably know for sure and was therefore guessing each time. The one against Scienza into injury time was the worst out of the lot.

They looked tired to be fair. They played well the first half of the first half, then faded Before this match, I thought Man City were beyond us, now I think we have a chance, but alot of that depends on how tired we are and how tired they are. It's a weird one

I think I posted this a few weeks ago, but Fernandes' sale (€44.00m) paid for: Leo €9.00m Fellows €9.25m Aziz €13.90m Jander €12.00m Peretz (loan fee €500k) Larin (loan) Total : (€44.65m)

Many City fans saying they were very poor tonight without Rodri and one saying he's not back until their game against Everton.

For all the doomers, anyone remember : Moussa Djenepo, Sekou Mara 2-0 Man City ? Anything can happen. Yes it’s highly likely we get battered but who cares.

Reckon it could be 5-5 after watching the game tonight.

Has anyone else had issues getting the verification code through when logging into the saints ticket app for the first time? I’ve downloaded the app and entered the correct email address but no verification code comes through (and yes I am checking spam folder!). If I am missing something obvious I am happy to have it pointed out to me as I’m starting to get a bit worried… can anyone help?

Came here to ask this exact question. 15% of profit could be very helpful to balance the books if the perspective transfer fees are to be believed.

Watford have only picked up one point in their last 5, so we're likely to be in 5th when we play Ipswich. That game will probably determine our home/away order in a playoff vs Boro.

City’s defence is not all that and we’ll get chances.. unfortunately their attack is impressive

Rodri missed their game tonight. Think he might be out for the semi final which would be a little Brucie Bonus for us.

Fuck me, cheer up lad. 4 misery guts posts in a row 😂 if you can’t get excited about a day out at Wembley, what’s the point in supporting Saints. Who cares if we lose

Yeah, Ipswich should be better but on current form, Millwall look trickier.

Blame SR with their early season naivity with Will Still and his team without a keeper and CF.

I'd like to know if those offsides towards the end of the 2nd half were correct. There were a succession of 4 or 5 given against us in the last 15 mins or so that from where I was sitting (Kingsland side on to penalty area) looked either extremely close or in a couple of cases baffling as to how they could have been offside. Obviously I do have Saints tinted spectacles but it felt like the lino was desperate to give decisions against us and a little on the dodgy side?

What if Millwall are on their day?

More likely Ipswich will come to us knowing a win for them will as good as promote them with their goal difference. Our aim now has to be to try to stay ahead of Middlesbrough and get that home 2nd leg

Was this the same season that Vardy took out VvD, ruling him out for the remainder and beyond with a horrible tackle?

Right… Ipswich lose at WBA by 2, and Millwall lose at Leicester.We beat Ipswich by 2. We beat Preston on the last day 2/3-0 and Ipswich only win by less. We go up, 2nd on goal difference on the same points 82 as Ipswich and Millwall. If not the playoffs it is! All fun and games!

I think it was a 15% sell on clause, if I remember correctly

I believe so. Can't remember the figure though. Maybe 15% of profit?
