Wow what a day, went to watch AFC Totton get battered 6-1 by Farnborough, then to pub to watch Saints really put a shift in against a squad that totally dwarfs ours in terms of player value and wages and skill and everything else, and at half time I was elated that we were toe to toe matching them and looking every part their equal, then a beauty of a goal from Azaz sends me jumping round the pub like a maniac with everyone else and I’m starting to believe, and 8 minutes later it’s back down to Earth, unlikely to even go to extra time, but what an effort, what a difference to the team that went down from the Prem with barely a whimper 12 months ago, what a day to be a Saints supporter to hold your head up high and be proud of the boys despite a (cruelly undeserved) loss. All that’s left to say is good luck for Tuesday Ipswich, you’ll fucking need it muthalickas :lou_sunglasses: ---

We got a lot closer to beating them than I thought we would. Glad it didn’t go to extratime, we needed to keep something in the tank for Ipswich. For future reference (playoff final?) I took the train to Wembley Stadium from Gerrards Cross. Good big car park and 4 trains an hour. Great for getting there - sh#t for getting back as the Wembley Stadium station platform is pretty small and vast numbers of people were queuing to get a train. Solution - went for a curry at a great little Goan Cafe on Harrow Road about 400m from the station. Very decent meal and dead cheap. ---

I saw the first half and was impressed missed the second half then saw we had scored approx when Bobby did 50 years ago and that was it back to reality. ---
