I also wonder if the V word will crop up this year? NC did it last year for the lads. Wonder if he has a random surprise booked for the boys the day after the play off final date or something

We were always going to do it. I had a day from hell on the Thursday just getting back to Blighty. Saturday was HORRIBLE = cold wet windy = I hadn't packed warm clothes. On the way to the game the car was being battered - Throw what you want at us God it doesn't matter today is our day... We EVEN got hit by a bird on the way to the game (Sparrow I think) The lads were nervous what If's everywhere as we had our full English Gutbuster Breakfasts at the Queensway Cafe We were all in odd areas of the ground. My first proper game in the Itchen (wow how busy is THAT?) The reception for WGS as he walked round the Chapel BUT somehow I just KNEW The first went in - Sweet. Jose Fonte that dummy - you STAR. The secomd went in. Sorry I was freaking crying. And then one hour to show the Planet how damned good we have been this season. I got txt's from Egg chasers, from Citeh & Manc fans Hell even a txt from a proper skate. No, from the moment my flight was delayed 3 hours I knew we would be fine and this was the way it had to be.

The return of AA

WTFILN So they FINALLY hit League 1 and FINALLY have to play kids. Well, we (and our new BFF's at Coventry) know how THAT turns out. So, enjoy your time in League 1 skates, it will only be for one season, even IF you survive into July. Because you'll go through League 1 like Satrudays' curry went through me Straight down

this

Would have been fine but the Asia Curry kicked in perfectly at around 8am, JUST made it to the bathroom. Then stoked up on shampers in the Lounge & on the flight home and managed to wake up with ANOTHER hangover over Turkey - argh. Now working on my 3rd one of the day

No. This was The Sweetest Feeling And, as my Mum said when I finally got home having watched it...

Nightmare trip over delayed flight screaming kids, horrid traffic diversions screwing up my evening with Daughter. But knew then that I had had my bad day for the weekend and nothing would stop it being massive. Thanks Shroppie. Great spot up in Itchen North SO LOUD. From the off we were Cool. Calm, Comnfidenmt and in Control and it just got better and better. Great day, great afters in Kingsland Tavern then back in Salisbury. Now sipping a glass of bubbles to celebrate at a cold wet & windy Heathrow. We are Premier League. The Journey Continues And loads of pics/vids to download!

No wonder they only see Russkies. Oh btw it ain't open at lunchtimes so send them to Eric @ Goodfellas Tecom to watch the game. They can go for a take-away later Right, have fun stressing out everyone. My Mum don't have no technology stuff so I'll be pretty much off line all weekend COYS. Big Games. THIS is what it is all about & THIS is what we have missed. (Oh big thanks to Barca & Real for showing what complacency & nerves can do to you. I'm sure NA will use that in the build up) Boarding time!

Enjoy the Creditor meeting tweets I'll be squished in amongst 422 other cattle on the plane when it kicks off. Hope to get time to catch up RB's poetry and Trousers' pics later tonight Have a great day y'all

I am packing. Woo hoo. The flight is only 7 hours but it will seem like 70. Boo hoo. And no I can't get wrecked as I have to drive round the M25 in rush hour tonight. Arrrgh

If we knew this was coming (likely considering the vote) then it explains the debt for equity swap recently.

I can't think why but every time I hear that German managers' name I think of the Germans Officers in Allo Allo

Nah just packing for my flight tomorrow and watching the semi final at the same time. Was thinking of Ronaldo's FK's in the 2nd half & his penalty. But seriously been amazed at our local FB page, it's found quite a few Saints fans here so far. Will have it all proper for next season (Dubai Saints if you wanna search for it & can't be arsed to go to the overseas forum)

Guys Set up a facebook community - call it something funky like Lallana makes Messi AND Ronaldo look ****e

C'mon, own up. Who's just paid off their mortgage by betting on a Chelski Bayern final?

ORLY? You know, one Russkie spent 200k pounds for Champagne in a club on NYE. Which, completely randomly is just about double the actual cash deposits that PST have received as they rally to save our fishy friends...

Good list but - How can you leave out the Walsall game last year? The stadium was jumping and we all knew for the first time that the tide had truly turned.

Oops my fault. Too many beers at HofBrau Haus last weekend teaching them our songs. They may remember the Lallana song later as well

Yes, but it will never come out on a forum. It is a story for another day when a history is written of how we were so lucky to find Markus. Move along now please nothing to see here

PM or facebook us always glad to have visitors!

The patient approach

Hmm this FB thingy seems to be working.. OK Dear Match Day Thread buddies, we won't be needing Nuns on Saturday.... Seems we're gonna have our very own Emirates Girl (Cute Hostie) in attendance at SMS (Oh and BEFORE you think you can drop me in the poo Eric, FMDP was the one who told ME she was going!) Still great effort, only 3 weeks after we realised there WERE actually more than 3 Saints fans in Dubai, now we know there is gonna be at least two of us at the game. Seeing as we're becoming uber fans think we may need to get ST's for next season

Better check the springs in the sofa and keep the next 8 years free http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/game-of-thrones/9195683/Game-of-Thrones-interview-DB-Weiss-and-David-Benioff.html
