Anyone but Harry.

Did we get a trophy? Any photos?

I like Clem, but I don't think he should have brought up Sharps' difficult year. Billy is obviously going to be full of emotion about it, it didn't need mentioning. Aside from that, it was a great watch.

Birmingham will be promoted IMO, but I'd like to Blackpool go up as they'll be beatable in the Premiership. I don't care who it is, as long as it's not West Ham :=D

Kelvin: 9. Without a good keeper, you don't achieve anything. Bart: 5. Performed well in the cups, suffered a spazz attack in his one league game, but I was always confident should we have needed him longer term. Butterfield: 6. Didn't play much owing to Frazers' form, but proved to be a competent understudy when called upon. Frazer: 7. A much better season from him this season, providing some key assists to boot. Jose: 7. Not as assured as his League One season, but there are plenty worse CBs in the nPC. Jos: 9. What a signing. Solid defender with an eye for goal. The partnership with Fonte worked well. Fox: 7. A solid season, not brilliant but far from poor. Got some important assists too. Harding: 6. A willing understudy, but League One may have been his level. Martin: 6. Covered the defensive absences well, looked fairly assured and may turn out to be a good defender in the years to come. Guly: 7. Was MOTM in some games and disappeared in others, but still our best option at right midfield. 1st half of season better than 2nd. Useful goals. Chaplow: 7. Before his injury, and during Lallana's absence, he filled in brilliantly, and we did seem to miss him. Not so good on his return. Puncheon: 5. Still a cockle, but at least he apologised. Did very little on his return though. De Ridder: 7. A useful impact sub, and I think he will only get better with a pre-season behind him. Cork: 8. Another astute signing, and deserved his spot in every game this season. Hammond: 6. Solid if unspectacular, and struggled to get ahead of Cork and Morgan. Is this his level? Morgan: 8. Class. I was doubtful of him before this season but he's proved to be quality. Lallana: 8. He's been quality at times, and he makes our team tick and scores goals, but I think he's been inconsistant. Injuries haven't helped. Lee: 7. Looked promising until his injury. Will make the step up from what I've seen. Lambert: 10. Is it possible to score him any lower? What more can I say. Immense. Sharp: 9. Key goals at a crucial time. Connolly: 7. Played his part which is more than I thought he would at the start of the season.

Jealousy, simple as that. What makes me laugh is that after saying they'll "walk the league" this season, having failed to do so, they're now saying they'll "walk the play-offs". Deluded. I for one hope Cardiff or one of the B teams beat them in the play-offs. Maybe another season in the Championship will teach them to respect the division they're in.

When Hammond went off, Guly seemed to play a lot in a more central role, and I thought he was exceptional. Honourable mention to Davis, who made some good saves, Lallana with his goals (I will credit him with the first, even if it went to Sharp officially) Sharp and Fonte.

If Bolton and Wigan stay up, which is looking increasingly likely, with Norwich, Swansea and Stoke in there (whom I think are due a poor season at some point) I think 15th position is possible. As it stands though, I'd have us down as 18th-20th, but I fully expect us to strengthen well this summer, and so that prediction is moot.

So Gary Hooper anyone? :-D Our last Celtic signing did OK I reckon...

Start well, keep the confidence up. Blackpool away please. :-D (Yes this was a dig at West Ham...)

He stands at only 6'3, Rickie, Rickie, He'll keep us in the Premier League, Rickie! Rickie!

We need surgery on the midfield, one or two central midfielders and major surgery on the right. Back up to Adam? Strikers are ok, Sharp, Rickie, Lee, all could gut it at the top level, but I would bring in one pacy striker, even if it's on loan. We need a centre back, we need a right back, and while I trust Kelvin, I'd worry we need a new keeper. I wouldn't want Adkins' job this summer...

Michael Owen has been bigging us up following our promotion. I reckon he's touting himself for a move south...

It was in my extended post before I edited it due to the amount of swearing involved. I don't believe they'll win the play-offs, Brum will.

HAHAHAHA **** YOU you cocky ****s. That'll teach you for giving it the biggun all season and thinking that the other 23 clubs in this division aren't worthy of your presence in our ****ty little tin pot stadiums. Enjoy your party cruise to celebrate **** all, I hope a stray ball that you punted into the sky in August doesn't drop down and knock the boats skipper out. Enjoy another season in the nPC with Hoofball Allardyce. Just don't underestimate the division next time.

Agree. My MOTM, although to be fair I wasn't watching large chunks of the game as I was running around celebrating!

We need some pace then.

Depends how comfortable a 15th place finish would be. If we're quite a few points clear of relegation, then 15th and a cup win. If we're in danger of relegation most of the season, then top 8 please. Avoiding relegation is the most important thing though.

God bless you Markus. We'll never forget you.

2 more things though - If we'd only drawn today, we'd have still gone up. If we'd managed a point at Boro last week, we'd have won the title. Que Sera Sera. This summer will be awesome!!!

One Team In Hampshire... OWTS... So Now You're Gonna Believe Us... etc etc SO PROUD!!! Going mental at home, my God I wish I was at SMS. Lucky SOBs. We've deserved this. 7 years of hurt.

Get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Saints ready ready for a pitch invasion! I still want 5 here! Come on SaintS!!!

One more for Hull and we never would've had to worry anyway!!
