Good goal Matsuki! Great start

Great header by Larin initially. Could Azaz have done better? Good start.

Oh crossbar twice!

Nasty scenes outside the ground earlier...

As a fan I'm nervous. Win and we are in a strong position to at least get 5th plus it cuts off everyone below Derby most likely from contention. Draw and we're probably in a 2 way battle with Wrexham for 6th. Lose and it will be very tough. Possibly a last day of the season situation. I'm sure the players know what is required but tonight is massive for our season.

Going with head over heart - I think we get knocked out by City from the cup but do ourselves proud on the day with a spirited, fighting performance. I'll postpone making the play-off prediction until I know the result of tomorrow's game. Win and we'll finish in the play-offs, lose or draw and it could go down to the final day as to whether we make them or not. As for winning them if we get there... let's just make them first.

Coventry will win promotion, and it seems the title, in part because the other chasing teams don't seem to want it. The promotion chasing teams keep stuttering and Coventry have been doing enough to grind out wins or draws (except for against us of course). They've been good, but they're not great and that's what makes our early season form so annoying. Had Still picked up even a couple more wins early on then we'd be in the promotion picture, but then we possibly wouldn't have Tonda and we wouldn't be on this wave of form we currently are on and enjoying. All we can do is finish in the play-off spots, try to stay injury free to key players, and win them. We aren't ready for the Premier League at all but it would still be a hell of a ride, and if Arsenal shows us anything, it shows we now know how to compete. Besides, I don't think anyone that gets promoted this season will make Sunderland-style dent in the Prem next season.

Well we can use the bus company that Arsenal were going to use for their FA Cup final win. 😝

There's a worst case scenario this summer that if we don't go up we could lose Downes, Charles and Jander to other clubs. Having Bragg around would definitely lessen that loss. Not that I think we will lose all 3 of them but it's possible.

Yep Bree is another solid pro. Reliability at Championship level for under a Million quid. The irony is that if we got promoted thanks to these players and we were ruthless with the ambition of staying up the likes of Manning, Bree and Wood should be amongst the squad players culled for better.

I'm not one to make big, romantic gestures but if we win the FA Cup I'm getting a picture of Tonda tattooed on my buttcheek. If we get promoted I'll let my daughter draw a picture of him on my leg with a Sharpie.

Or their 115 charges penalty of a 60 point deduction and expulsion from all domestic competitions a few days before meaning automatic progression to the final.

The result will be whatever the result will be... what getting to the semis has done is give a ton of Saints fans a bloody good day out at the National stadium. Pubs pumping with atmosphere, that walk up to the ground from Wembley Park. The noise, the colours, the anticipation. We beat the Premier League leaders to get there. We deserve it.

ChatGPTs effort at Joe Cole picking the balls...

We have City

I can't see Arsenal winning the Champions League. It would be the icing on the cake if City managed to win the League over them... and I don't even hate Arsenal! I just like a good story and we'd be a huge part of it.

Probably have to meet City anyway even if we beat another team in the semi.

Should have been in the kitchen when you did it and not the lounge.

Saints vs City Leeds vs Chelsea Is my prediction. Got to beat the best to be the best.

Avoid City and I'm happy.

Leeds through.

Looks like a young Matt Damon.

KWP up... he scores!

How much injury time will the ref add on after penalties? 😄 This could be a long shootout.

He's saved one!
