Emotionally spent. What a day.

On the bingo bus, which despite this coach selling out is only 2/3 full so I’ve got two seats to myself. Good atmosphere at St Mary’s earlier, bought myself a bacon roll, well it had one slice of bacon and one slice akin to a pork scratching. Surprisingly calm about today, yeah I’d absolutely love to go straight back up, but it’s football, shit happens. Maybe I’m just too scarred from my last trip here in the EFL to get myself excited. Oh, and @Turkish I picked you up a key ring in the club shop, hope you like it.

Did tickets make it to the fans with no membership stage of sales?

Tickets released 15 minutes early it seems, it let me buy mine before changing the site to a waiting room page.

Strange decision, would have thought there’d be better options for him over the summer. Got the footy on in the background, the Klopp love in is do bloody nauseating.

Even though I’ve been to plenty of home games this season I’ve still been had to buy a membership to try and secure a ticket, bit of a naughty money spinner by the club. If anyone fancies all going in a box and splitting the cost I’m game, only £600 per person 😂

I imagine a coin toss will take place in the next few days to decide this. Would rather be in our Red and White rather than black so fingers crossed it goes our way.

What a night that was. It was like a Wembley final outside the ground, the atmosphere and the electricity in the air, you could just tell everyone was bang up for it. The photos and videos of the bus arriving are class too, like many I thought it could be a bit noddy but the fans that turned up were a credit to the club.

Once again we get the west side of Wembley. Absolute fucking joke that 26000 tickets go to corporates and freebies.

Atmosphere in and around the ground is incredible right now

As good as can be I suppose. At least Mara isn’t starting.

Fair play to them that’s a decent effort

Brilliant, that’s all we need.

VAR could instantly be improved with 2 changes. Firstly a 60 second limit on reviews for handballs and fouls, if it takes that long it’s not a clear and obvious error, and secondly with offsides if the lines have to touch to prove they’re offside then benefit of the doubt is given to the attacker. There should be daylight between those lines to be considered offside for me.

Fair play to wolves for triggering the vote. It’s a fantastic idea, being horrifically executed.

If you’re coming down via the M3 you might be better placed to park to the north of the stadium as seen on a map so maybe look at the Royal South Hants hospital, big open air car park and well placed to get back on The Avenue. Grosvenor Square is a good shout too. Edited just now by bpsaint

I’m bringing a multipack of Mars bars to wear on our heads. We’re gonna look so wacky!

https://x.com/bryaniekeatos_7?s=21&t=DalIrD9C5GmDN2DHJfNY7Q was it her? 😂 Happy with that result all things considered. Would have certainly taken it before the game and apart from that chance from Stewart wouldn’t really say we did enough to win, but we know West Brom are a tough side given their league position. Hopefully the fans rise to the occasion Friday night.

Stupid fucking Brummie twats.

I have no idea what Russ sees in Stephens that no one else does.

Home leg almost sold out already, fingers crossed we’ve got plenty to sing about by then and aren’t 3-0 down from the first game. Different competition I know but the second leg of the JPT semi at home was rocking.

Guessing it’s a get used to your surroundings thing, which is quite odd for the end of the season admittedly. Maybe it’s for Ross’s benefit, all counts towards that mental edge over the opponent I suppose.
