Definitely our best non yellow away kit for a long time. We should always have yellow as our second kit. A return to the old Yellow shirts and black shorts would be good.

As others have said, one of the best days I have ever had following the Saints. My first game was 1970. And , given that supporting my home town club was the only choice, I have been really lucky with long stretches in the top flight, some wonderful teams and incredible players. And plenty of success along the way. But I couldn’t be at the final in ‘76, although I was at the semi final, and since then every big Wembley ( or Cardiff ) occasion has ended in more or less glorious defeat (the JPT aside, which was lovely, but doesn’t really count as major success.) And often I have thought that maybe it just wouldn’t ever be. So it goes. And then suddenly, this team made it happen. A huge win, on the biggest platform ,in one of those games where the clock seems to go slower the more you look at it. Finally, it really happened. Feels a bit selfish , but I still feel the disappointment ( and the thrill of the good parts, like Peach’s goal ) of Wembley ‘79, Cardiff ‘03,even the Zenith Data, Wembley ‘17, and the semi final defeat. And today I can really make my peace with those nearly- days. Today made all that good . It was ( football ) wonderful.

FWIW the bookies have Leeds as quite strong favourites, As ever, some terrible prices on offer. I like Edozie, but with Adam Armstrong at 6/1 first scorer, 11/1 Edozie looks poor value., with Kamaldeen the same price !! Smallbone at 16/1 looks worth considering though.Stephens at 66/1 looks value, .Mara is 8/1 .No, really. anyway, I won’t be jinxing any of our brave lads. No sign of my ticket yet ……
