Lighthouse Posted 28 April, 2012 Posted 28 April, 2012 and the unlikeliest of praise from... http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?241229-Southampton-promoted-then. Good to read. Nice to see most of them have a but more class than the KUMB lot, shame the Saints representative on there is such a complete bender.
Ohio Saint Posted 28 April, 2012 Posted 28 April, 2012 shame the Saints representative on there is such a complete bender. He seems to have been on there forever. Luckily they seem to understand that he is the Lone Bellend without even a Tonto as a friend, and don't really associate him with the rest of us too much
Cascadia Saint Posted 28 April, 2012 Posted 28 April, 2012 Had a little snooze after my early morning boozing, and am now awake again at 3pm on a hunt for fish and chips! A night of drinking and probably karaoke awaits... COYS!!!!!!!
Jimmy_D Posted 28 April, 2012 Posted 28 April, 2012 So. Did anyone have a bet on for a Saints Promotion/Pompey Relegation double this season?
Ohio Saint Posted 28 April, 2012 Posted 28 April, 2012 Best day of my life. Full Stop. I'm guessing you are quite young.
Crab Lungs Posted 28 April, 2012 Posted 28 April, 2012 I can't add any more links to people welcoming us back, surely, as I'd be here all night. Incredible reaction from around 90% of rival fans... Wow.
S-Clarke Posted 28 April, 2012 Posted 28 April, 2012 I can't add any more links to people welcoming us back, surely, as I'd be here all night. Incredible reaction from around 90% of rival fans... Wow. I've been having a look too, most seem to have missed us and feel we're a traditional premier league club! Which is true I guess. We were always there, always a tough place to go, involved in famous games, famous players . We were never a boring club up there and have obviously stuck in the memories of most. I think we're there to stay for a long time.
LGTL Posted 28 April, 2012 Posted 28 April, 2012 An incredible day, an incredible team, an incredible manager, an incredible season. I've loved every single second of it.
Ohio Saint Posted 28 April, 2012 Posted 28 April, 2012 I can't add any more links to people welcoming us back, surely, as I'd be here all night. Incredible reaction from around 90% of rival fans... Wow. Get back to your computer and find more! Don't make me look for this stuff myself!!
Crab Lungs Posted 28 April, 2012 Posted 28 April, 2012 Get back to your computer and find more! Don't make me look for this stuff myself!! I'm copying all the links down, amazing reading. Might, if I have the time, upload all the reports and vids. This should be catalogued!
Pugwash Posted 28 April, 2012 Posted 28 April, 2012 Just watching the FL Show on BBC - Lump-in-the-throat time with the post-match interviews in the tunnel... very emotional Billy Sharp.
offix Posted 28 April, 2012 Posted 28 April, 2012 I watched it 4.30 in the morning at the local pub here in Vegas. I cried like baby! Finally seven years of pain instigated by the evil duck hunter are behind us. Markus, Cortese and Adkins are heroes
St_Tel49 Posted 28 April, 2012 Posted 28 April, 2012 Well .... okay, they achieved the objective today, so credit for that. We were actually poor, but it didn't matter as Coventry were wretched (not their fault with their resources.) Rubbish - I thought that Coventry actually played well for much of the match - they just lacked the capacity to finish.
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 28 April, 2012 Posted 28 April, 2012 (edited) Just watching the FL Show on BBC - Lump-in-the-throat time with the post-match interviews in the tunnel... very emotional Billy Sharp. Certainly brought a tear to my eye. Terrible year for Billy off the pitch, must have been a really strange set of feelings for him after the match. http://www.ljsfoundation.org.uk/index.htm Really easy to donate, just text the number on the website.

Pugwash Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 An interesting poll: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/poll/2011/aug/04/which-club-will-win-championship?intcmp=239
S-Clarke Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 An interesting poll: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/poll/2011/aug/04/which-club-will-win-championship?intcmp=239 Shows that money doesn't buy success. Leicester spunked near on 14m in transfer fees, god knows how much on wages, an didn't ever get anywhere near a promotion spot. WHU should have done much much better with the squad they had, 55k p/w and £5m on Kevin Nolan for e.g.....he's had a very poor season though. Team spirit and togetherness is much more important than spending £14m.
rhsfc Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Absolutely amazing day! Was brilliant to be there and see them do it in style! Top manager, top team, top fans! Up the Saints! WE'RE PREMIER LEAGUEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
S-Clarke Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 (edited) Iñigo Idiakez @InigoIdiake Congratulations Southampton FC!!! I am delighted to see it happen finally! Enjoy your night! Very proud of everyone! Nathan Dyer @NathDyer87 Want to say congratulations to southampton fc for getting into the premiership! Looking forward to be up against my mate @adlallana1 Gary Lineker @GaryLineker Many congratulations to Southampton FC on their return to Premier League football. Look forward to seeing you on MOTD next season Lord Sugar @Lord_Sugar Well done ! Southampton promoted to Premier League from the Championship Liverpool FC @LFC Congratulations to Southampton on your return to the Premier League. We look forward to seeing you and your fans at Anfield next season. Edited 29 April, 2012 by S-Clarke
SNOWY Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Just got in. A little worst for wear but very very happy. What a great day.
saint_jas Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Might have watch on the tele in Notts, but damn I feel sorry for neighbours, went crazy on the first 3 goals.
niceandfriendly Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Fantastic scenes on the FLS. Was anyone able to record this to upload to Youtube perhaps?
SanFranciscoSaint Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 I just cannot believe we have returned to where we belong. I am just so overwhelmed with happiness and relief. We give huge thanks to Markus and Don Cortese, but most of all to Nigel Adkins. He has been an amazing manager over the last two seasons, and I just cannot believe that he didn’t win a single Manager of the Month award this season. I cannot take it all in! WE ARE IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE!!! A wonderfully happy day for Saints fans around the world!! A great day to be a Saint.
kenneth_kenobi Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 I see Nigel gutted we did not win league - missed out by a point 2 years in a row. I will be TOTALLY gutted if we come second by a point next season
trousers Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Just woken up. Ouch...my head hurts. One second....*pinches self* Ouch again....yes, it all happened!
Dr Who? Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 The very best thing about promotion is that we don't have to stay up stupidly late for the football league show! well we will be 5 minutes earlier when we are on last on MOTD. Saying this, if there is enough goals we will be on earlier.
Dr Who? Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Just read the match thread, good to see that everyone stayed behind the team. First 10 minutes on their backs on here. A game is 90 minutes. Seems most do not have any patience! Expect nerves at the start, as it was a huge game, but no doubt what the outcome would be! So happy and proud this morning!
SW11_Saint Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 So, we're back in the Prem, Pompey back in the 'third Division' and the earth shifts back onto its rightful axis once again... Well done to the boys, management and the fans - an amazing season with some bumps long the way, but we've done it. One man needs to be singled out though - Nigel Adkins - now a Saints legend forever. Kept his head and focus while others around him (including many of us) were losing theirs. Have a well earned break mate, and look forward to you leading us into the Premier League next season... So proud of this club!
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Well done to absolutely EVERYONE....with any connection to Southampton Football Club Fantastic.... Brilliant.... Superb... I love this club...
georgeweahscousin Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Just wrote this and still can't quite believe it. Feel like a kid on Christmas Day. http://wp.me/p1mFFL-kp
Whitey Grandad Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Hmm, everybody associated with the Premier League seems pleased to have us back. I hope they don't all expect 6 points off us next season.
mcjwills Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 well we will be 5 minutes earlier when we are on last on MOTD. Saying this, if there is enough goals we will be on earlier. Yes but we will also get an hour on football first on sky
View From The Top Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 So. Did anyone have a bet on for a Saints Promotion/Pompey Relegation double this season? Yes, as I said in August. Should pay for my season ticket.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 What a season. Fantastic achievement. Well done Nigel and the boys. Double blue line and few well earned beers now!!
trousers Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 @jackcork1: Loving the lads who took my boot and keep sending me pics drinking out of it last night. #lads Ha ha
sussexsaint Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Just watched the football league show on iplayer , just love the post match stuff, so moving. Heart aches for Billy
ThreeSixty Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Glad we can't get promoted again next season. Can't keep up this level of drinking!!!
gazzzza Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Only just recovered from yesterday, great game, great atmosphere, great pub (the guide dog). One of the 4 best Saints days i remember--(76 cup win, 78 promotion, 84 second place in the old div 1/now prem ). The Status quo has been restored saints back in the prem & skates back in league 1
Ohio Saint Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Mornin' lads. Is it Saturday yet? Oh! OH!! OH YEAH!!!!!
