That was tremendous. The sheep shaggers gave everything in the 2nd half and we blew them aside with quality

When do they publish whether we're playing on Saturday or Sunday. Surely Saturday seeing as we're got games on the Tuesday before and after. Changing the subject, I really didn't expect my Saints special yellow shirt from DHgate to have more than 2 outings. 5 outings and counting. I may have to wash it which means it will fall apart.

Thanks for that. Just snapped up mine for £16.50

Regarding tickets, if we are drawn against City, they won't take their full allocation. They didnt last season as they are always at Wembley. In which case, do we get extra tickets ?

There is no scenario where we can't wear a yellow shirt. The only scenario where we can't wear blue shorts is if we draw Chelsea and they are the home team which surely is a 1 in 6 chance. In which case we could wear black or white shorts. In the 2003 semi, we wore a one off kit with our usual r&w stripes but one-off white shorts

Here's the one I used. https://www.dhgate.com/product/player-version-2022-2023-columbus-soccer/757480111.html It was the cheapest I found. This is his store https://www.dhgate.com/store/20687805 . I find with Dhgate that using the proper website is practically impossible and is really slow and crashes. Use the mobile app

No it's quite a roomy large. No need to size up for me

DHgate are really good but they've excelled themselves here. Just over a tenner

Sad news about Keegan. Keegan's the reason I started supporting Saints in 1981. I was due to see him for 'An evening with Kevin Keegan' at Mayflower studios tomorrow and it was postponed. I guess this is why. It's rescheduled for April though but I'm not sure how he'll be able to manage it. Anyone else that was due to see him tomorrow night ?

I got my home shirt from Dhgate before they even officially announced what is was. It arrived without the sponsorship though which actually I don't mind. The sizes are always right for me. Same as the official shirt. Nowadays chinese fakes dont seem to come up small like they used to. I think I'll wait until the black 3rd kit gets announced and then get that on Dhgate

They get better each year. The real thing generally has a slight elastic stretchable feel to it compared to the fake and is generally slightly thicker. I wouldn't go for numbers and names on the back as they can peel off after a while. That said that only happens once the shirt's out of date anyway. Always go for a 30 degree wash or lower

You always get that before you log in and state your address as UK. Create an account, log in and then in the top right (assuming your using a browser rather than phone) change the ShipTo, Language and Currency

Interesting. I'm expecting mine any day. It was less than £9.50 including delivery so not expecting much

For comedy value I'm getting that shirt. But it will be from DHgate for £10

That's DHgate. I messaged one of their suppliers asking if it's actually been produced. They said no it's in production. So basically they're advertising something that they think might be the new kit but not making it yet.

You mean 2008 to 2010

Interesting opinions from Prutton. I didn't realize RM played for their manager under Norwich, or at least I forgot. That's a massive advantage for us in my opinion and probably goes a long way as to why we did the double over them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE38MwyWp44

I know it's tempting fate but does anyone know what time the final kicks off at should we get there. I know it's 26/5 but I cant find what time it is. Still says TBA on https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13120822/efl-play-offs-fixtures-dates-and-schedule-for-championship-league-one-and-league-two

Twice as many shots on target than they did to be fair

Chris Waddle. Saints v Tottenham. It was in the 88/89 season about February I think. Muddiest pitch ever.

Weirdly I just saw a tweet that said he'd signed in a club record deal for the Saints. It's now gone off my phone and nowhere else to be seen on tinternet

Remember that dreadful show during the 2002/2003 season, called 'The Club' about the Saints. It was only shown in the South region and was hilarious. I remember they dedicated about 15 minutes to Matt Oakley's tropical fish collection. and who remembers that young female Saints fan in the very early 80's on Jim'll fixit it getting her wishes to meet all the players (Keegan etc) and be a mascot

Played for Saints when I became a fan in 81. Legend.

Two things that really annoy me. 1. A replica kit means a lot to a child and children can't wear a shirt with the same sponsor due to our choice of sponsor. I know it's only the sponsor and the rest is the same but kids want to wear exactly the same outfit as their heros. 2. The optimal time for wearing a shirt apart from to games is in the summer. Given the shirts only last a year, the shirt is old hat by the time the season ends. People want to wear the shirt in the summer months preceding the season and they can only do so from the beginning of August. Surely, release it in May after the season has ended. I know it's only a shirt but it means a lot to a lot of people otherwise it wouldnt sell for that price.
