To add to the debate, 2003 was an incredible occasion and probably the main reason I went from casual follower of Saints to full blown supporter. The incredible passion and desire was just something else. (Before I get stick for this my dad had been a supporter for decades and was in fact at the final, he was just raising me right). I think a lot of people are just caught up in the league cup final as it was more recent but 2003 was incredible. I also don't agree we rolled over although Claus vs Henry still gives me nightmares.

It's kind of dumb tbh, they are three divisions below us. Why give them the satisfaction?

We will thump em.

3 finals in 5 years? We've had 3 in 14 ffs, I don't think this is a "reasonable target".

I waited 14 years for this

I disagree with most of what Batman says but this is an unfair stick. It would COST the board money to dispose of Puel whereas we will receive money for selling VVD. There are obvious business advantages to the one over the other.

I agree with you FWIW, I just hope we sign a replacement first this time.

I wonder if Lallana had to do the same..

Every time I get excited about Gabba I temper it with memories of Marek Saganowski.

I won't believe VVD is staying until Les says so because his word is gospel.

Couple of wasteful shots but agreed.

By the way, just so you all know if this goes to penalties and you don't hear from me I've killed myself.

Wooooooot, so proud of the lads whatever happens. Typical jammy Moanrinho setup for the counter (effective but still), we are playing so well.

Stephens vs zlatan, good luck son.

Can I hate both liberals and conservatives in equal measure?

...

Prowsey to score the winner with a free-kick in the 90th minute. I bet the lad is dreaming of it, I think I'll join him

We are gonna get curb stomped I am soooo nervous.

There are all the player sales, this is some slight evidence.

Ah yes, those note-able old one season wonders Mane, Lallana, Wanyama etc. I'm so happy we got rid.

It's a bit pathetic getting riled up over other people's opinions as well tbh.

Bertrand and VVD (although he is injured), do we have any others?

Would just mean the big clubs picked up players sooner and we would get smaller fees sadly.

Well yes but the electoral college is a strange system to be fair. I know why they do it but he had disproportionate support in the more rural states. Still is a very strange system to me as each state gets a proportional vote based on population size (through number of representatives) and yet you can lose the popular vote and win the election (I think through the two senate votes each state gets?) Barmy if you ask me.

Zlatan will score, we need to score at least 2
