Will be leaving Richmond at around midnight tonight - leaving plently of drinking time before kick off!

He's worse than that. "Terrible, terrible support"? FFS. Two sell outs in a week. Well done everyone, just goes to show what potential this club has.

Oh yes. It'd be nice to get the old Marian song going on Saturday to remind us of that goal.

They must be playing around mate. It's definitely never happened. Perhaps they're thinking of the cup game at SMS where Crouchie scored that penalty, where we stayed in the ground for about 10minutes just singing at the Skates. Nobody left for ages, so perhaps they're getting confused with this - but the skates were the ones being held in not us.

I actually laughed out loud at that! Would love to see that appear on the OS!

yeah when we say sell out we're talking about general tickets, not the hospitality.

Just got 5 tickets for friends online, none of the blocks I selected anywhere were available, so was allocated Block 6 row C. Will definitely sell out.

Bump. Did anyone manage to upload the goals from SSN onto youtube?

Really? I think we'd sell that easily. If you consider that we can sell 30,000 tickets quite easily for a big game at St Mary's, think how many we could get at Wembley! Southampton is a big city with a large population; people who haven't been to St Mary's in a few years will want to go, and even people who aren't Saints fans but who enjoy football. I know many fans of other clubs who'll try and go.

That's fantastic mate. A group of 30 mates at Wembley all sitting together, doesn't get much better than that. Good on ya.

You're right. First 40 minutes we were all over them, second half we just killed the game. Very professional. Did they even have a chance in the 2nd half? We were never in danger, clearly AP told them to sit back and hold on to the lead we had as in the last 5 minutes of the first half they started to build some momentum. Clever management imo. Shame that we didn't pile on the pressure and go for the jugular, but Pardew decided to sit back and it worked and we're going to Wembley! :D :D

I only like to clap, really.

The northam looked and sounded great from block 28 in the Kingsland. Even the Chapel was singing its heart out today. Brilliant

I'm not paid until the 12th and have had to go into my overdraft to buy tickets for this game and MK Dons - some things you've just got to do. It'll definitely sell out by Saturday.

Being back in China for the best part of next year will put an end to me having a season ticket, which saddens me very much. I'm going to miss all the fun.

I haven't been this excited about being a Saints fan since 2003. This week is indeed huge, one win would be magnificent, two would be a dream.

Do you honestly believe they expected to get into the play offs this season? Wow, you must also think that Avram Grant really thinks Pompey have a realistic chance of survival.

Luckily most Saints fans realised a long time ago that the the play offs were an outside chance, that we'll enjoy this season whatever happens and really look for promotion next season. Shame some haven't quite grasped that and are letting it ruin their lives somewhat.

I too am wondering why Harding isn't playing but this is very harsh indeed. Mills was MOTM against Ipswich and played well against Brentford away and MK Dons in the cup. If he's not playing well today then it'll be the first time it's happened since his recent arrival to the side.

Hahahahahaha. Any team can lose any game in this league. Especially us! I do find it strange when you look at some of the players who aren't starting at the moment... Harding and Jaidi especially.

Liverpool and Man Utd can "get away" with having so much debt because they are servicing it and meeting repayments. You're not.

Ah Fahim: “Any money raised by the Pompey Trust will go towards supporting the new stadium proposal.” New stadium?

[scottish]I tell you what, and I can tell you right now.. that was a penalty, and I mean that, I really, really do.[/scottish]

Very cool place but the public toilet cleaners are very feisty.

I've just had 3 fantastic, hazy hours catching up on today's posts. It's been magical. Thanks everyone
