BARCELONASAINT

I tend to agree it's going to be a tough couple of games. When borough show up they are a very decent side. I have watched quite a few of their games where they have outplayed the opposition but failed to capitilise by scoring. They are a very decent outfit and we would be stupid to under estimate them, thankfully Tonda is unlikely to make that mistake and will drill it into the players.

I can't believe anyone is criticising Scienza after the season he has given us. He is the flair player everyone loves to see play the game, he is a natural and an absolute joy to watch on the ball. He takes players on and has an end product! Yes he has the odd flaw to his game but if he didn't he wouldn't be playing for Saints! He is one of a few in our team that i would happily spend good money to watch them play.

I just hope with the early kick off our lads have woke up!

I don't mind admitting i was one of those that thought what on earth were we doing signing Larin at the time. However i absolutely love the bloke and his 100% commitment to the cause. I think we have to give Tonda a lot of credit for the way he has handled not only Larin and turned him into the player he now is with Saints, but also so many other players that we were all hoping would never wear our shirt again because of their pathetic performances. Tonda is not only proving he is a great tactician but also a great man manager who listens and takes advice from his backroom staff. Larin is a prime example of a bit of a journeyman who wasn't being played to his strengths or having a manager who was prepared to believe in him. Incredible transformation really.

Matsuki is a big loss imho, hope it's nothing serious

reserve keeper

Just got back thanks to having got on a coach with a blind driver who can't read his satnav and ended up turning into the most narrowest dead end road near Winchesters park and ride. When he did eventually manage to reverse out he then made a wrong turn in Southampton taking us away from our drop of spot that was so close yet so far! Anyway what a day, what a game, what a side and what bloody fantastic supporters we have. So so proud of our team and fans tonight. Defeat is always bitter but if you have to lose then Saints showed how it should be done with pure bloody guts. Tonda take a bow because you have given us our team back.

I agree there has been some very questionable decisions that have gone your way but i guess it evens itself out over a season. Personally i think you will pip Millwall to second place. If you beat WBA today i think our lads will take their foot off the gas Tuesday night and coast into the playoffs hopefully avoiding any injuries.

Really looking forward to the Wembley experience today whatever the result. Lets make loads of noise and show all those plastics what it means to support a real football team. COYR

hello mate, i would be happy to take 1 of your hands at Wembley

cheers mate, i was waiting for an email or something, just found mine in the Saints app, QR code to be activated tomorrow

Has anyone received their E-Ticket yet?

If we don't go up we will be rebuilding the team because we will lose probably 6 players. We then would have to rely on very astute new signings being at the level of what we currently have.

The timing off this is terrible not only for Flynn and the club but also the supporters going to Wembley on Saturday. We already knew we were without Manning and his replacement has barely kicked a ball recently but we now know Flynn is out and Captain Jack is at best 50/50 that he's fit enough to start!

so no Manning, no Downes and Captain Jack 50/50 at best. The thought of Nathan Wood against City terrifies me!
