Major lol at that. I'm just sorry it was at your misfortune! In penance, I promise not to eat another banana. (Meh, I don't really like them anyway, and my missus loathes them.)

I did that. It was a bit cheeky, but I thought "sod it", if I lose I lose. I got quite drunk on Saturday night, and stuck £50 on a Ladbrokes double - I win £90 in total if it ended a draw or Carlisle win. I lost £50. My biggest ever bet. I don't care. We won, and I saw it. (I can just nick what I lost out the missus's bank account anyway, I know her pin...):cool:

I was near the front of 524. I was singing, a guy behind me was singing, and a few lads at the front were singing, but it was tough going. It wasn't so bad once the singing had started, it was just getting it going. (No Northam like there is at SMS.) I didn't check the Wembley lay-out when I booked my ticket, I was told I was right on the halfway line, which I wasn't, but I didn't mind too much because I was, in relation to the pitch, exactly where I usually sit in the Kingsland.

They've already got us in the CCC in the 2011-2012 season.

I usually think scrolling ads on the side of pitches are a distraction, but I didn't think those were too bad. Colourful (in keeping with the sponsor I'm sure) and the "Congratulations Southampton" was excellent.

By the way guys, my dad was the moustachioed Station Supervisor at West Ruislip for those of you who went that way. He says you were all brilliant (he has to put up with his own son being a Saints fan), and he even made £3 in tips. (You cheapskates!) He said he had a lot of fun trying to rub you all up the wrong way. Oh, and for the record, he's a Torquay fan, so he hasn't got much to laugh about this season...

THat's what I meant, he'd have started at right back if he'd been fit enough.

If they had any sense, they'd have it ready and on sale in the Megastore by the Leyton Orient game on Easter Monday. Yes, that's only eight days after the final, but Saints fans will still be celebrating the win, and St Mary's IMO will be sold out that day, they'd make a mint.

...and Lloyd James. Must be hard to miss out to injury.

I read that another team has won 4-1 before in this final, but we equalled the biggest winning margin. I don't think we'll be looking to be knocked out next season, but I do think we'll be concentrating on it less. A chance to give the squad players a run out, similar to this season (although we were somewhat forced with cuptied players...)

Morgan/Lallana/Lambert/Fonte and Harding. Anyone enquiring about them over the summer should be tracked down and shot. Signing Antonio and Waigo is a must IMO.

Mexican waves are a bit naff, but it was a fun day out for us all and, what the hell, it's not like we have to put up with them every other week at SMS. A one off is ok, and I actually enjoyed participating. (I enjoyed booing the Carlisle fans more tbh.)

I was impressed by the sheer size of the place but little more than that. I snuck in past the security that were searching others. I could've had petrol in my water bottle, and I certainly had a lighter on me if I'd wanted to cause trouble. :-) Not that I would...

I think RobM means consistency DURING games. Antonio is the type of player that can fade in and out of games. I forget which one I was watching, I think it was Exeter on Boxing Day, but he was superb at times and anonymous at other times. A quality player already, he has the potential to be even better. Oh and Stevo, it must've been hard for you to admit that, but you've finally seen what the rest of us had seen this season...

I just watched the highlights on iPlayer, as I fell asleep last night, and I must say I thought it was poorly edited. They whizzed through the first half, and mainly showed the 30 minutes after we'd scored our fourth goal. Maybe it was just me. I also thought Claridge was really struggling to say many good things about us. Just me again?

I was driving into Wembley. Had to be up at 3am for work, so couldn't drink anyway. :-( Still, great day all round.

On top of the Saints fans hiding away in the Carlisle end? That's amazing. We rock. Pompey in the Semi Final at Wembley - we'll see who the GFITW are.

3 votes for Chris Perry. Sentimental ones I'm assuming?

My favourite current Saints player. Such a good football brain, good defending and going forward, and he's now proved how versatile he is. If we had a massive centre back shortage, height aside I feel he can read the game as well as Perry, and would have no qualms about putting him there.

Who were the Saints fans in the limousines, I saw 3 limos on the A40 with Saints regalia. Lucky a holes.

Ooh, that reminded me to have a whinge. Segregation my arse. I was in 524, and all that space up top that was empty could easily have been segregated. I don't know about the concourses, but there was easily room for more Saints fans if you ask me.

All these. It was also the first time I haven't bought a Saints programme. (I plain forgot).

Balls, I may be up at 3am for work tomorrow, but I'm going to stay awake for the BBC2 highlights.

The lino put his flag across his chest, whether that means it was for handball I haven't a clue. Any linos out there?

My current favourite Saints player. Why the **** Leeds let him go, I'll never know.
