Football Special

Just read that whole thread, absolutely comedy gold, especially matey crying cause his Mrs got called fat in McDonald's, must be on a wind up, would take most of their stories with a huge pinch of salt. But overall you can see how triggered they are, they know our crowd outshone their pathetic support and have taken to the Internet to have a good old winge being bullied off the pitch, resorting to the usual 'Pompey fans are better' nonsense. Perhaps they were expecting us to give them a guard of honour on Wembley Way. Pleased that despite the result some of them had their day out spoilt 👍

Loads of positive comments about our team / support from people I know who follow other clubs who watched on tv, certainly good for the image of the club. One opinion I heard post match , this cup run was the best tribute to the boys of 76 and did the 'special' kit justice, we never really needed the 'legends' game at St Mary's, this cup run was enough and will be well remembered

I was in the ground for a good ten minutes after the final whistle, you could see the lift the players got from appreciation received from the fans, really good , Wembley obviously thought we wanted to hear from one of Man City's players broadcasting post match interview over the speakers but that was completely drowned out by Saints singing https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DepeD95uv/

I'd say all the players can hold their heads high, gave it everything and thats all we can ask from them

I think Bragg has been a great addition to the first team squad this season, showed some very composed performances in big matches, hope Scotland take him to the world cup

I've not really looked on social media since the game but would be great to see more pics and videos of our end, i really hate how the corporate club wembley tier cuts through our support, as expected loads of that was left empty

That's the worry isn't it. We don't go up , players and possibly even manager leave, we're back to square one

I was upper tier and expected atmosphere to be quite flat compared to lower but was actually impressed, good noise around me and everyone seemed to be getting involved, probably helped by the fact that it was limited areas left when on members sale so a real mix of fans getting the singing going. I'd say losing a semi final to a late goal there absolutely should be a necessary edge afterwards, Highbury 84, get stuck in Saints

Even if we somehow beat Ipswich i think QPR at home last game is a gift for them and with their goal difference they know winning that is enough to stay ahead of Millwall. Millwall will beat Oxford. Hopefully Middlesbrough have a tough game at Wrexham and give us a chance to go back above them

Definitely a good player, any news on his injury? Was hard to tell in the ground what was wrong with him, did they say on tv?

If Ipswich win they are promoted (as good as) , I think it will be a cagey game and quite likely to be a draw , bound to be quite a few changes from the team that started the semi final , I'll go for 1-1

I wouldn't care too much about what they put on their forum, City support was shite as expected, saw a few of theirs who thought it would be funny to celebrate right in the faces of Saints fans outside at the end then quickly wished they hadn't so probably two sides to those stories. I thought our support was good to be honest, build up around Wembley was buzzing and felt like we outnumbered them 3 to 1 going up Wembley way, no bother pre match just really positive atmosphere, obviously the occassion meant more to us and that was reflected in the build up and the stands

On way home now, i know we're supposed to accept defeats to teams like Man City but feel absolutely gutted, taking the lead briefly gave us that hope that it could just be our turn

For a team that is "red and white" we always do yellow and blue really well

Might get chilly in the 2nd half, look out for me I'll be the bloke in black and white carrying a Saints for the Cup banner
