I am as excited as anyone about our prospects of 2nd but it's not just Ipswich we need to worry about. Millwall have the easiest looking run in and are a point ahead of us. They are in a good position but we are the form side.

I thought this was a wind up! Someone said planets aligning. It's true!

This probably should be a separate topic but I just want to make a point: Our starting line up yesterday included these players- Bree, Stephens, Manning, Downes, Jander, Fellows and Azaz. All have, at various times, been in the category of "should never wear the shirt again". What a remarkable coach we have. Not only an astute tactician but also capable of transforming individual players. A brilliant coach.

So many times in the past I have witnessed Saints get into great position only to screw up in front of an optimistic capacity crowd. Dare I say that this time feels different. It will be a tough game but I think we will find a way to win.

Very kind.

Spoilt for choice.

I appreciate the travel challenges but, for me, the most important thing is that it's on the BBC. I live in the Highlands of Scotland and in poor health so Wembley is not an option for me. Just delighted I can watch it live in my living room. Wish I could be there and I wish you all well. I have my memories of finals and semi finals to keep me happy. But not the Adrian Heath semi at Highbury. That was just horrible.

Not mentioned yet but Armstrong v Man Utd. Late winner in 3-2 win following the Keegan goal that never was because Armstrong was offside! That Keegan "goal" would have been up there with the best. For me though it has to be Matty v Arsenal. Pure, unrestrained joy.

Team selection looks a little complacent to me.

Top 6 tomorrow!

Any long balls will come straight back.

My mother called me at work. She never does that and she knew nothing about football! She just knew it was important. In 10 minutes it was all over office (long before the inception of mobile phones). Top item on 6 o'clock news.

I have seen it all since 1967 but Matty's goal in the final game at the Dell still the most special moment ever. Just magic.

Spoke to a couple of Rangers fans yesterday. They are excited about Lucy. Not so much Russell.

Pointless prediction. We will lose this 3-0 with Vardy scoring again in the last few minutes.
