The Official Southampton FC Thread

On the face of it, a [reportedly] very expensive short term fix, albeit for a position we were woefully exposed in.

That said, at some £2m per finishing place in the Prem, it may well be money well spent.

[tobinen]

Agreed. If he's fit (2 days of medical/fitness tests reportedly) and does the job then a good signing. Presumably he'll go straight in against Man Utd.

[tobinen]

Only two days to go! Very much looking forward to this.

[SS2.]

Likewise - should be a great day.

Early train from Central for us, decent brekkie somewhere around Leicester Square, few beers here and there and mooch on up to Wembley for maybe half 3, 4 o'clock.

[SaintsPaul]

Early train to London for me too.
Breakfast and a few beers in the Baker St area then off to Wembley around 3 ish.
Lets hope we can do the Mancs at Wembley again.

have a great day boys.. it sucks being a saints fan living in Leeds!

[The jiffle king]

I'll be watching a feed from here in the US as being 5 hours behind it's a morning kick off for me.
Hoping that the 2 weeks of relative rest and training have got the boys ready to get a result!

[Paul_B]

What a massive day for the club. I really hope our best team turn up today!

Getting on the coach shortly....can't wait to get up there and soak up the atmosphere!

Come on Saints!!

Thanks, just shows the quality of some players... Ibra is amazing sadly for us

[bstb3]

As a utd fan, have to say that's really harsh on your boys. You really deserved that one, hopefully you can kick on from here and grab a Europa spot in the league. Gabbiadini looks like a tidy signing, he really does.

Indeed. Bad luck Saints, "on another day" (as they say).

not what you waant to hear im sure but that was a robbery.

[tobinen]

So close but Saints played bloody well. Disappointing but it was a good game.

[HRL]

As a neutral I can only say unlucky. However, you were mugged for the first goal. No way was that offside.

[PurpleAki]

Just seen highlights. You deserved more there. Poor refereeing. Disallowed goal. Hit the woodwork. A terrific performance. United rely on Ibrahimovic far too much.

Great game to watch as a neutral.

[joema]

fking officials. replace them with robots or something.

Saints looked great though. I doubt there will be such a wait for the next final!
