Un-believable! What a performance @jackstephens_18 ! So happy for the team, fans and everyone around the club! WE are going to Wembley!!

[Pamplemousse]

Had a read through RAWK

 

The meltdown when we scored was funny but the consensus was that the better team won

Awesome pic

Funnily enough there is now a 25 min queue on the official website ...!

 

People signing up for memberships??

[LaptopSaint]

Thanks for posting this. Sims looks so comfortable with the ball at his feet. We could have a good'un there.

 

Every time you watch that Sims run it gets better and better. Six touches from one end of the park to the other - each of them perfectly weighted. Get the **** in!

[whelk]

Well done Saints! Klopp is such a poor loser.

 

He started by saying Congratulations to Southampton they were better team over both games and deserved to win. Don't hear Wenger and Mourinho saying that. Obviously they are all bit blinkered but he is more gracious than most

[austsaint]

 

Great pic. One of my favourite moments of the game was Romeu clattering Milner into the advertising boards late on.

[Pedro]

I've missed the VMAN's contribution, why the comments?

Thanks. What a goal that was

[Jimmy_D]

Wish we'd got the scoreline we deserved, on the other hand, the feeling when that goal went in....

 

Wow.

 

Romeu was the best player on the pitch, but for Stephens to step up like that on full debut, in a match that big, and look so composed, I went for him as MotM in the end.

 

Was surprised by their home support, could only hear our fans most of the game, so much for the famous Anfield atmosphere.

[LGTL]

Both teams got around 31,000 tickets for the final last year, everyone that deserves one will get one. Over the moon.

[Batman]

what are our fixtures around the final?

not got anything midweek before it, surely?

[Goatboy]

Finally got home with Mum and newborn, sat down to watch with baby! God knows how baby didn't end up on the other side of the room when Long scored.

 

Amazing

 

Nice! Congrats Monk.

Long busted his ass getting in position to receive that pass from Sims. Wow!!! Look from where he started!

away @ sunderland the weekend before, we were due to play Arsenal at home on the 25th Feb, but now we play the final on the Sunday so that will be moved. Maybe to the mid-week after that, not sure.

[sadoldgit]

Congratulations to everyone at the club. Well deserved! It seems that Les Reed's plan is coming together.Lets win it for Marcus.

[LGTL]

Potential FA Cup 5th round tie the week before the final, but nothing midweek.

[Katalinic]

Congratulations to everyone at the club. Well deserved! It seems that Les Reed's plan is coming together.Lets win it for Marcus.

Marcus' flag needs to be at Wembley imo.

[DT]

Klopp blaming the wind now too acc to Talksport

"Yep, I made the wrong decision"

 

So glad you grabbed that image!

 

Saw it on TV and nearly ****ed myself!

Any idea how the ticket sales work? Any priority or is it just general sale at midday tomorrow?

Was just thinking that, a major cup final is the thing i've been waiting to cap the amazing turnaround of our club, and we've finally got it. I understand some people's frustration with Puel and tactics/rotation, but to be the first manager to deliver that is some feat, against the odds too.

[Forester]

Been watching Saints since 1987 when my dad took me for first time, watched us up and down the country through two relegations. League one games at Dagenham, Exeter etc etc. This season we have had San Siro and now Wembley. It doesn't get much better than this. A plea to all our younger fans to really enjoy the moment.

 

As per previous posts I have made throughout the season, Puel has been doing a good job with the limitations up front we all knew. He has showed in three clean sheets against the highest scoring frontline this season was an outstanding coach he is, with different back lines. Four clean sheets in last five games.

 

And here is the best bit.....by rotating he has enabled players to be fresh and crucially by believing in younger and so called squad players,having usied them in earlier rounds, when they are really needed they aren't cold and out of form but are ready. Think Stephens and Yoshida.

 

This quiet, humble and dignified Frenchman is a class act. McMenemy....Strachan.....Puel

[SFCRedandWhite]

Ticket news announced tommorow mid day.

31,700 tickets for the final - surely enough for all members ?

[Pass the Dutchie]

Nice to see Boufal is there as well joining the celebrations.

[Pamplemousse]

I hope we see Katharina with Markus's lucky camera

[beatlesaint]

That is by far and away THE picture of the season, just a shame Nivea Boy isn't anywhere to be seen

[Colinjb]

Any idea how the ticket sales work? Any priority or is it just general sale at midday tomorrow?

 

Would expect a priority system based on league cup attendance/season ticket status.

[SFCRedandWhite]

Also noticed saints site very busy- surely they'll class it as members purcahsed before the semis!

[hasper57saint]

what? Liverpool had no luck ref missed a clear handball from Long.

 

He also missed the assault by Lovergone on Yoshi at JWPs free kick.Should have been a pen AND a red card.

[trousers]

[shurlock]

F**k off vardy

 

Stephens really stepped up tonight.

[Jonnyboy]

Well if you think we sold probably over 50K for the JPT there's probably going to be a lot of disappointed people.

[doddisalegend]

 

Good Man

[southbourne saint]

First team to get to the final without conceding a goal in the history of the league cup. Some achievement.

[sammysaint]

Buzzing what a defensive display and how nice was it to see Puel only make a few changes to the lineup this past week.

 

Really hope me and my son as members get tickets especially since we went to the Sunderland and Liverpool game, only fair fans who went to the league cup games get priority after season ticket holders.

[dronskisaint]

Loving this thread...great afterglow - and another thing I love. That clunt Lovren being pass-nutmegged by Jay for the home goal and being left like a lead-shod carthorse by Shlong for the second, Karma

[SOTONS EAST SIDE]

According to SKY first club in this cups history, to get too the final without conceding a goal..

[BARCELONASAINT]

On such a high right now not sure i'm going to be able to sleep!.......got to go into work tomorrow and beg someone to work my duty weekend on the 26th Feb now:uhoh:

[Baird of the land]

Amazing performance, though there were a few moments we rode our luck a few moments in second half.

Really happy for Stephens. Said before season I was hoping he'd get his chance this season, though what a pressure cooker for it to be in. Yoshida has been top quality this season, a real step up from last season. Midfield good again. Redmond scared their right back in first half which was nice to see. Happy to see the old Shane long back the last 2 games after his bundle goal against Norwich. Hope he can kick on and have impressive second half of season again.

[Scully]

It was hard watching, had me on the edge of my seat for pretty much the whole second half! But what a win!! Ecstastic!

[macca155]

? Just been blaming the ref.

 

He was being pushed by the idiot reporter, what else was he to say, it was handball anyway so worthy of a comment.

 

A rarity amongst managers a touch of class

[sotonpride]

Absolutely magic but jeez that was stressful.

My pessimistic side had it all worked out..

Saints play well - tick

Miss loads of chances - tick

Deserve to win - tick

Liverpool score a late equaliser - ti.. wait a minute.. Longy yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Cue screams and tears of confusion and joy.

Romeo, Yoshi and stephens immense and fair play to Redmond - terrorised them over two legs.

[bpsaint]

That feeling when the second goal went in sums up why I'm proud to be a fan of a team like Saints. All those plastics out there will never understand that sheer emotional overload and would view this as just another cup final, they'll never appreciate it the way we do.

[hasper57saint]

I don't think there will be any Current Saints players who are eager to join Klopps Flops. Big club my arse!

[trousers]

[Colinjb]

 

Thank you indeed.

[macca155]

That was way too much stress for someone of my advanced age and weight. It was all released when Long scored.... we still can't find the cat

 

All heroes but what a debut for young Stephens, very impressive.

 

I celebrate my 50 anniversary as an emotional slave to Saints this year, what a rollercoaster and a 6th trip to Wembley. Lost 3 won 2 so far, let's see if they can even the score.

[Chocolate Box]

Lets not get too carried away, after all, we have only beaten our 'B' team.
