[AlexLaw76]

FUCKING YES!!!!

Mentality Monsters

[Mr X]

Yesssss!!!! Let's hope we invest now, fan tastic result when we weren't anywhere near our best!! 

[SNSUN]

GOING UP UP UP UP UP UP UP

[OttawaSaint]

We've won a fucking trophy!!!!

[Suhari]

Well that was rather satisfactory.

[SNSUN]

Totally not how I saw that going but I'm delighted!!!

[Jimmy_D]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

😇

[Sheaf Saint]

Sky can show scenes of Leeds players and fans crying all evening as far as I'm concerned!

[Scully]

We're back baby!

[Hawkswood]

Ahhhh bollocks

 

🤣

 

[Saint_clark]

Sky really have no idea what fans want to see so they. Incredible scenes with the players and fans going nuts and they want to interview Armstrong and ask him to analyse the game.

[OttawaSaint]

Did the treble over dirty Leeds! Love itttttt!

[HKsaint]

McCarthy MoM

[SNSUN]

Well done to Alex McCarthy too. Stepped in from the cold for Bazunu and he's been brilliant.

 

 

[Baird of the land]

Leeds were very poor i thought, apart from James' late contribution. Mccarthy had one decent save to make and a couple of good punches.

We had some good spells today. Edozie could/should have made it more comfortable.

[SNSUN]

So gutted I couldn't be there but what a day out for the fans.

[OttawaSaint]

No sign of dancing man?

[East Kent Saint]

Rishi needs to get his wallet out now ! 😆

[GDog07]

Does that mean Leeds are out of the picture now? 😜🤣🤣

[Saint_clark]

Much prefer this to going up in second 😉 

[USaintA]

Wow. I have waited over 40 years for Saints to win in a meaningful final (sorry Johnstone's Paint Trophy, but...). Amazing feeling. At last. At bloody last!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

yes!

Well done lads!

We were resolute, in defending today.

Excellent performances.

Not at our best as we sacrificed a lot of our game to keep them clear. Even then, James nearly got them back into it.

Well done to Martin, who changed it up when we needed to get it over the line.

AA with another super performance. Strong at the back. KWP class with Downes as our engine. Will with lovely touches and Aribo. Fraser kept them narrow and sapped their energy. I thought we lost some momentum when Brooks went off. But we'd got the goal, and we're content to wait for a great chance.

Proud of our lads.

Stephens literally holding back the tears...fair fucking play

[jasonbenali]

Fair play to Russell Martin - adjusted his tactics, got it spot on and did Leeds 3 out of 3. We had the better chances and the slice of luck you need with the crossbar.

Fantastic achievement with the chaos of relegation.

[OttawaSaint]

McC crucial really, 2 clean sheets in playoffs! 

[Convict Colony]

fucking beautiful

Thanks! It's all about the match thread family!

[antialias]

[Fan The Flames]

Fuckin brilliant. High risk, high octane way to go up.

[Doctoroncall]

Saints were resolute, no possession for the sake of it knowing how Leeds play...

[James G]

That second half felt like an eternity 

[Saint_clark]

Leeds fans giving Stephens and the rest of the squad two fingers as they walk up, Stephens gives some right back 😂

[Saint_clark]

I can finally say it now without fear of jinxing it - I was confident all day today that we would win, and when everyone else was saying "I can't see this finishing 1-0" I was actually certain that's how it would end up. A rare moment of clairvoyance from me.

[SNSUN]

Aww Kat Liebherr there.

Was she? Missed that, nice to see.

[Saint_clark]

I'm gonna say it...don't hand Bazunu the trophy from his left...

[SNSUN]

I won't lie, I had a couple of "insurance" bets running today but this feeling right now, THIS is worth every penny I gave to Ladbrokes.

[trousers]

Anyone else sat on their sofa blubbing like a schoolgirl, or just me...?

[SNSUN]

Relegation sucks but this is a feeling we wouldn't have had without it. 

[Secret Site Agent]

Excuse me.

Can we go back to the Premier League, please?

Thank you so much.

😀😃🙂🙃😊😇😀😃

 

We did just enough. Would have preferred Saints to have put them to bed with a second, but that'll do me. It wouldn't be Saints otherwise.

I'm getting a few odd looks from customers as they walk past my office here at Northfields whilst I cheer. I don't care.😀

To be fair bar Leeds fans and Skates fans I think most of everyone else was supporting Saints today. We re-paid their faith in us.

[saintant]

Well done boys. Gutsy performance but we limited them apart from the shot which hit the underside of the bar - when James hit that I thought it was going to nestle in the back of the net. Congrats to RM and his coaches. Great day for the club.
