In the first half of this game, after everything that's happened in the build up? I didn't expect anything else.

We're not even 1/6 of the way through this semi-final.

Bless them booing the fans singing OWTS like they're the Pompey of the north.

Yes, but the thing about PLAYER OF THE SEASON HAYDEN HACKNEY is that you can feel his influence on the pitch even when he isn't on it.

The energy of the crowd has already died down.

When it's played into feet and there are players around him yes. But that's not what we're doing. Larin is better when it comes to using his physicality to disrupt defenders and win it in the air.

Can we discuss PLAYER OF THE SEASON HAYDEN HACKNEY some more please.

Good work fellows to move possession up the field.

First dodgy moment. Manning run ragged overcommitting on the left.

See below...

"You have to get it into the final third of the pitch, that's where most goals are scored from" Thanks for that expert insight whoever you are.

Think we look alright. To be expected that they'd come out like a freight train.

What the actual fuck was that pre match song?

Hope we can get the James Bond theme going at some point.

I've arranged a press conference to announce i'm severing all ties with Southampton Football Club. I'd rather be accused of kiddy fiddling than be associated with this club now. Absolutely ashamed.

If that was the case I'm pretty sure they'd just say that, and announce the employee had been terminated.

Not sure what you're confused about, that's a pretty obvious "we can't deny it because it's true, but we also can't just say nothing" statement.

The EFL are probably hoping Boro just beat us so that they can give us a fine and a 3 point deduction for next season and be done with it. If we end up getting promoted it makes things messy as fuck for them.

I don't think his chances were that remote, he's played 88 times and scored 30 goals for them.

Some might but personally I wouldn't give a shit. You aren't going to see anything in a training session you wouldn't pick up from the 46 matches that led up to this anyway.

Yeah, massive overreaction all round, including on here.

There won't be any punishment beyond a fine. It's far too late to affect the league standings.

That's how they spotted him then, the branches must have been shaking like crazy from his signature dance move.

Yeah, newspapers never print anything that isn't verified to be 100% true.

Yeah I agree, I think Ramsdale is a classic highlights keeper. I'd love us to sign Peretz.
