Ross is probably going to take Les' role when he retires so might be too early for him to move on

We can but hope I guess. The very essence of professional sport as entertainment is that there is a chance your team can one day do something great, so perhaps there is a recognition that we have another great opportunity, an who knows, maybe the players believe it too.

100% agree with all the top bit. We absolutely need to get more of the younger people in, not just for now but for the future. Don't agree about singing OWTS when it's the only song that everyone knows these days so that's up to us to make more songs, but for that, see above for the group of people that could make that happen. We aren't rich and as fans we can't do anything to stop players moving on but being an intimidating noisy stadium is entirely down to us fans. It looked and sounded great yesterday and this needs to be something that happens way more often at home matches. Oh, and not many left early either, which is how should be given that it is just 105 minutes of life.

As well as not losing anyone significant, we need a midfielder who can pick out the runs Gabbiadini makes, or has the confidence to play it forward more often. Gabbi is absolutely different class so far and not just for his goals.

Gutted, but no one let the team down, and our fans showed they could be noisy. More of that at St Mary's please. I'd like to be back at Wembley soon watching my team and representing my city.

I'll be wearing a flat cap, Lyle and Scott v-neck jumper, adidas Munchens, eating a prawn sandwich, followed by dabbing. Football fan across the ages, representing the amount of time since we won a major trophy. But as for a mosaic, great idea. Get on it saints, no time like now

There is nothing like playing to be match fit. Players do not look as good after pre season as when they're in full swing. Can't imagine Puel chose to lose the game v Arsenal, just a sign that our reserves/third team weren't as good as theirs, which is expected given their resources.

RK and Poch dream team

We should be aiming to lose no significant player this summer and add a right back unless Piet returns fully and is decent, a centre back to replace Fonte, a new attacking midfielder and if possible a defensive midfielder. Exits Martina Reed - I personally can't ever see him making it at this level Isgrove - see above

Because... Enlighten me Professor Roger

Key thing is that during the last two windows, we haven't had Cortese blowing smoke up people's behinds or telling them we'd be playing Champions League in a 50k seater stadium soon, or a football legend like Ronald to help get deals across the line. Probably a good thing as both those people mentioned above weren't a reflection of who we as a club can afford to be or have ambition to be. We've signed some decent players, some will move on as soon as they come good, some won't work. Any spin from the club worthy of the word spin is when we look at the players coming through the academy, many of whom aren't showing themselves to be good enough for a top half team with ambitions of regular European football. Most of us have been watching football long enough to realise that.

Hopefully being level on points with Watford, below Burnley, Stoke, WBA, West Ham, Everton (who we were well ahead of, right?), just 1 point ahead of Bournemouth in February (it's not December when we are always rubbish apparently anymore) will be a little reminder to the first team squad and coaching staff that they to keep up this #wemarchon thing. We may be taking one step back to take two steps forward next season and a cup win would certainly be very welcome but league position is where you measure a team's progress. That was always going to be hard after last year's good fortune in finishing sixth but surely 8th place was a minimum required for this season?

Be good to read and the telegraph is a known mouthpiece for the club and what it is thinking/doing/wanting to portray.

Best thing is it highlighting that our second string aren't good enough. Needs some investment to add depth.

How many major finals have we lost wearing yellow? It's two since winning one. Not a lucky colour really

It's nights like these that you remember that whatever you feel about the way the club runs and is managed, and by whom, SFC means the most to fans. SFC will always have people run, or work with the club with their own agenda but they can never ever replace the fan for whom supporting a club runs deeper than they can imagine. My love for Saints knows no boundaries, whomever is in charge or working for the club. It goes back to beyond a century of family support and is never going away. Tonight is for us and the players who got us to Wembley. COYR!

As they'd said in Liverpool, dat was boss dat

Coming through the tv coverage well. What it should be like every match. kingsland, Chapel, Itchen, you need to join in and make it happen. Other than that, what a night!

I'd have one...matt finish works a treat too. Well done for your taste in vehicles VVD

Looked decent but as others have said, impossible to judge him fully after playing a Leicester side bereft of ideas. As with all CBS, needs games and experience doing good and bad things against a range of opposition to develop into the player we all hope our young players can become.

Good news and now up to him to kick on and force his way into the team as a first choice starter

Just a matter of time before the Chinese investors are confirmed then I guess...

Armstrong's version of OWTS was played at the end yesterday. The Shane long song is fine, maybe our embarrassed fans should spend more effort to try and get fans singing than worrying about 1 minute's worth of music that the players have put together. More embarrassing for me is that SMS is a generally quiet and couldnt intimidate a group of 6 year old majorettes and that loads of people leave matches really early. Those are bigger fish to fry in terms of atmosphere!

Apart from the VVD situ, much more positive day at the office for the players. Looked to be trying to play with more verve as well. Keep up the good work.

Good point, I'd say there was a falling out between him and the power/business side of the club, not the football side. Good luck, thanks for the memories and contribution to our story
