His character and passion aren't in question, but if he passed the ball straight to Man City three times in positions like he did yesterday they wouldn't be as generous as Leeds were in fucking it up. Martin needs to remember he hasn't managed in the Prem before.

How much was the parking? Such a brilliant idea.

Wish I'd been out to celebrate. I got smashed at home on 3/4 of a bottle of rum and I think a few ciders at one point and can barely move this morning.

I get the feeling they're not going to check ages and turn people away anyway. Unless you turn up with a buggy or a baby in your arms I think you'll be ok.

Remember last time we came down and we said "championship will be fun for a season"? This is what we meant. We were right.

If I had to guess I'd imagine it's an insurance/event licensing thing.

I'm sorry buddy. You know we know how much it hurts. Hopefully we're generous with who we loan to you. Mara would probably bang in 30.

Jealous that I can't be there to be honest. Hopefully everyone that can get down there gets involved.

Especially as they've admitted to the road being closed...people will come and set up with camping chairs and have a street party I imagine.

https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/saints-to-host-promotion-party-at-st-marys Southampton Football Club is delighted to announce that the club will be holding a promotion party at St Mary’s Stadium on Monday 27th May. The celebrations will start at 3pm and last until 5pm, in a dedicated Fan Zone in the North Car Park. Sunday’s 1-0 victory over Leeds United in the Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Final means the club will be making an immediate return to the Premier League and to mark the occasion we will be hosting a promotion party for fans to celebrate together with the team and coaching staff. Fans are encouraged to come along from 3pm and enjoy some brilliant entertainment, with live music from the Deloreans and a DJ, whilst former Saints players will also be making an appearance. Whilst we recognise most fans enjoyed the pyro from the semi-final, we must ask that no pyro is brought to the event. It is harmful for some people and will not be permitted under any circumstance. Russell Martin and the Men’s First Team players will then take to the stage with the Play-Off Trophy to reflect on the match and celebrations from a fantastic day at Wembley. There will be plenty of food and drink available from dedicated kiosks both in the concourse and outside. Fans should be aware that there will be no seating in the Fan Zone area. Entry will be on a ticket only basis, with tickets available from 10.30am on Monday 27th May on the Southampton FC ticket site. These are available to Season Ticket holders and members for £2 with all proceeds going to Saints Foundation. This will be an online purchase only, the ticket office will not be open. All tickets will be e-tickets and will need to be shown and scanned for entry. Fans will not be able to enter the event without a ticket, and the club is unable to provide a copy. Unfortunately, under-fives will not be permitted and those under 14 will need to be with an adult. Fans should be aware that access to this event will be from the front of the stadium, by the Ted Bates statue. There will be no open route to the stadium via the Kingsland Stand (including Northam railway bridge) or via Melbourne Street, due to ongoing preparations for the Take That concert. All access points to the stadium will be closed and fans are asked to come via Britannia Road or Marine Parade. We understand fans will be disappointed if they don’t get a ticket, but if you haven’t got one the club asks that fans please stay at home. Access will be blocked and fans will not be able to view the event from the roadside due to road closures.

Whether we went up or stayed down we needed to invest in a new number one and then let Bazunu fight his way back in. Either promotion or fighting relegation, both too important to spend half the season with a stop gap and then see if Bazunu has magically improved after being injured for 8 months or more. Ramsdale is available, I'd take him on loan with option to buy.

Hopefully there is unedited broadcast footage from after the final whistle, those adverts went on for fucking ages we missed loads.

Love to see the look on Burnley fans faces after not getting him last summer and seeing him so keen to stay here permanently instead.

Those 10,000 Leeds fans doing a good job of blending in.

Warnock is brilliant.

Downes, THB in for definite. Brooks and Rothwell i'd give it a miss. Fraser I'm unsure...we have a lot of players in those positions already and I'm not sure he's enough of an upgrade to justify a transfer fee and already high wages.

Fair enough, I wondered when I saw it because I'd heard from a couple of different people that we're getting him on loan next season.

Yep! Literally said "I know I'm permanently here now so I'm buzzing"

Can we change his username to "bittoofriendly" please.

Be surprised if he stays even that long.

He's got to spin it to try and save his job now.

Wonder if he watched today's game with a bit of regret.

Valenciennes went down? They'll be good for betslips next season. The gap between ligue 2 and the national is gigantic, and they'll have a lot of money (relatively) behind them plus a few loans from us.

I'll be in the minority here but I'd also sign Adams up if we can. I'd still try to sign a new goalscorer, but I'd sell/loan Mara and we've seen Adam Armstrong look a lot better on the right wing this season.
