Southampton 1-0 Leeds - Saints are Promoted!!

[badgerx16]

Hampshire have just beaten Surrey by an innings and plenty.

[LeBizzier69]

A summer of excitement over potential incomings and new deals, and not one of avoidable exits. 
What an afternoon, so pleased for the whole club.

[niceandfriendly]

I love you. I love you all.

Given the number of goals we have conceded this season, that was an immense defensive performance.

Yep, and the best thing is I never really felt like Leeds would score. Given how many games I've watched this season where we looked like conceding every time the oppo attacked, that's very impressive.

Good to know we have that in us.

This is odd lol

Emotionally spent. What a day.

If there was a way to get promoted. That was it.

I told you all back in September I’d rather win in the play offs than come second again. Best way in the world to go up that 👏👏👏👏👏

Best mates with David Brooks mate. It’s a thing him and his mates do watching each other. Was on talksport the other day

Fair enough, I wondered when I saw it because I'd heard from a couple of different people that we're getting him on loan next season.

Brooks I think. 

[Saint_clark]

Warnock is brilliant.

[The Kraken]

Warnock losing his rag with the lawnmowers 🤣

[Zorba]

Brilliant. What a performance! We deserved the win. Keeping KWP, THB & FD will be crucial and now looks more likely.

Well done Saints!

That’s what makes it so great

tense, right, winning at Wembley, getting a trophy and being able to be gracious but smug in victory in a bar full of Leeds fans. Who to be fair were properly sound, three or four of them shook my hand at the end and said we deserved it.

Aww Kat Liebherr there.

Was that Ralph Krueger there as well? I thought he had nothing to do with Club these days, but reasonably sure it was him (sort of hope it wasn't). 

[SNSUN]

11:20pm for the highlights on ITV if you don't have Sky.

So when's the open top bus parade?

Anyone else think singing "We Are The Champions" in the aftermath was pushing it a bit?? 😂

Great day.  Defended brilliantly so I was fairly relaxed throughout.  No bad performances either, and THB has now signed permanently!

Fans of every team that win something sing this to be fair. It's a given that you'll hear it.

[SaintTex]

Saints just saved me $100 next year. see ya later, ESPN+

[Kaiser Soze]

Russell thanks for taking us up. Top man.

Time to move on and get someone else in

What an utter t**t.  Must be a Skate on a wind-up

[OttawaSaint]

Can't quite believe this. Was bracing myself for a late late equalizer but at the same time In felt that Leeds barely laid a glove on us. 

[DG]

Heart still pumping like the clappers, will relax eventually, brilliant.

Me too. The defence were immense. 😍them all…😇😊

[Vancouver Saint]

Haven't had a chance to read others messages yet but just wanted to say - YEEEESSSSSS! - We;re Premier League, we're Premier Leeeague...wea re Southampton, we're Premier League...

...at least for a season 🙂

Well done Russel Martin and the whole team - that was a solid performance when it mattered most, even if we will gladly take the bit of luck you need to win these things as we had.

Nah, celebrate these moments to the max. Never know when we'll get the chance again.

Hopefully there is unedited broadcast footage from after the final whistle, those adverts went on for fucking ages we missed loads.

I was sat right next to one of the cunts 😂

He spent the whole match with his finger in his left ear. The saints fan (me) next to him was just too noisy. He loved having to celebrate and nipped off just before the final whistle.

The DAZN footage didn't break for ads. Great scenes, sorry to hear that Sky couldn't follow suit.

According to my Fitbit my normal resting heartbeat is around 60. Sitting at Wembley during the second half it went up to nearly 130!!!
