Viking Warrior Posted 29 March, 2010 Share Posted 29 March, 2010 I must say a thankyou to the Saints ladies at Denham Station who painted my face Youve just got to get in to the spirit of these rare occassions. I have decided Im wearing my Saints Shirt all the way back home tomorrow, So if anybody sees a saints fan wearing his saints shirt at T5 or Edinburgh airport for my connecting flight say Hi. I might even buy you a pint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidthesquid Posted 29 March, 2010 Share Posted 29 March, 2010 Anybody else seen The Sun today? As its printed locally (Pompey of all places,bet that ****ed them off) they've done a commerative Saints edition with Lambert on the front. Never seen that from a national paper before so was chuffed when I saw it! I couldn't even find a mention of the match in the Sun in Selsey Co-op this morning. Maybe they printed a different edition for the dark side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin C Posted 29 March, 2010 Share Posted 29 March, 2010 I have just watched the highlights from the BBC. The handball was very funny and when the guy was interviewed afterwards he said something along the lines of I know Lambert is a good striker so I tried my luck. The ref took a couple of seconds to give it so I nearly got away with it. Fair play to him at least he is honest but stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnailOB Posted 29 March, 2010 Share Posted 29 March, 2010 What a great weekend - Started off with the kids getting their photo taken with Rickie on Saturday outside the saints shop, as if they weren't excited enough about the weekend already ! Totally unexpected and Rickie was superb, he stopped and had time and a smile for everyone. All of us were looking forward to Sunday and thought it was a great final and day out. Players were great, the sight of so many fans was amazing, and the reaction of my little boy and girl was the icing on the cake. They've enjoyed their football this year but yesterday really was a day for them to remember. Lets hope we have many more. Very proud to be a Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint lard Posted 29 March, 2010 Share Posted 29 March, 2010 The skates in gosport were very dismayed to see the front page of the sun on display in ASDA this morning. I for once took the gamble and wore my shirt whilst out,usually greeted with veiled threats to give me a slap,however a fair few people said congrats for yesterday and said it was a good game and nice to see a south coast club do well.

Tend to agree with this - we seem to forget that this cup competition is comensurate with our current league standing, we did well in the FA cup to be fair, but this one, we won, and won well. For me the team should be congratulated and the achiement should be recognised for where we currently are, not where we would like, or think we should be in the league(s).

Had a great day and it's brilliant to see Saints at Wembley and win a competition that we entered and take the silverware home at the end. BUT it still didn't feel the same as winning a major competition (not that may of us can remember what that actually feels like). We actually travelled with a Carlisle fan and he was more upset with the way we (sort of) dismissed the competition, than he was with their defeat. It is where we are but I hope we don't have to enter it again. Certainly not after next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glossaint Posted 30 March, 2010 Share Posted 30 March, 2010 Had a great day with my son - he's now firmly established as a Saints fan (over this way they play with a funny shaped ball). We had to sit with the Carlisle fans due to the poor ticket allocation rules, and even they were having a great day out - although it made it easier for us to celebrate when they all left the stadium. Thank you Saints - this was one of the best days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Posted 30 March, 2010 Share Posted 30 March, 2010 I had a truly amazing day and I'm still on a high. I don't think I've had a smile as big as the one I had on my face when we lifted the cup at a football match before. It was a feeling of what can only be described as euphoria. However, what's with all the negativity on this forum following our best result in years? If it's not about people pocketing money from coaches or how bad the Silver Spoon was, it's how people were stupid for starting a Mexican wave and Pardew had the wrong demeanor!! Get over yourselves. Some people are just not satisfied. We all had a quality day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't you say the same about MLT's betting scam? Enjoyed the day, had a whole rabble with me from in-laws, friends, direct and indirect family (most of which probably got there quicker than I did from South East London!) Antonio MOM for me. I was also slightly nervous at 4-1, shame we couldn't get that 5th and keep the clean sheet. Would have been properly steaming for kick-off (a la 2003) had I not been with the in-laws. Nice to remember a game for a change though! Wouldn't have even been going had it not been for my company being a Club Wembley member - big stroke of luck that. Was bizarre seeing saints fans as far afield as Greenwich and Lewisham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red&white56 Posted 30 March, 2010 Share Posted 30 March, 2010 (edited) What a great day! I told my son that this was just going to be a chance for all Saints fans to celebrate our survival and revival and it doesn't matter if we lose. We got an early train up from Sussex - people talking to us on the platform wishing us well (in Sussex - talking to strangers!!!) - arrived at Weatherspoons just before 10.00 to find hundreds of Saints fans queuing - great atmosphere in the pub. Wembley stadium - what a great stadium and Bobby Moore's statue brought a tear to my eye - a fitting tribute to a national footballing hero. We paid for Club Wembley seats - it was like being in a posh hotel - there were more staff than fans! And then we went outside to look at the Stadium - fantastic!! Our section had a mixture of fans but gradually the Saints fans got more vocal - but we couldn't hear what the bulk of the Saints fans were singing - we got COYR and the tail end of OWTS. When we were 4-0 at 63 mins I couldn't believe it - for the past few seasons I've been so used to Saints chasing the game or hanging on - it was brilliant!!! Watched the highlights and realised that we were awesome going forward - Lallana and Rickie were brilliant (not to say the others weren't). So despite the horrendous cost of the tickets I'm glad I was there and proud to be a Saints fan. Edited 30 March, 2010 by red&white56 typos !

Plumstead_Saint Posted 30 March, 2010 Share Posted 30 March, 2010 Yes it was a pretty special day - definitely one to remember for me and my son. Loved Wembley - the atmosphere, the view and the sight of all those in red and white. Seeing a game out comfortably was a welcome change as well I remember NC saying something about needing to get some more trophies for the cabinet when he came in.

Ohio Saint Posted 30 March, 2010 Share Posted 30 March, 2010 This season was our new starting point. It was the end of death, and the beginning of life. With 10 points deducted, and still an uncertain future under a new owner, who the hell would have not been happy to get close to the playoffs and ANY trophy in the bag. I am elated that we pulled this one off. We beat some good teams to win this one, whatever anyone thinks of the trophy. The only alternative would to have been to LOSE the frickin' thing.

Lighthouse Posted 28 March, 2014 Share Posted 28 March, 2014 Cracking day. That striped shirt looks proper ****. Indeed. I can understand people not liking our lack of stripes this year and the extortionate price but at least it looks professionally made. The shirt from that season looked like 2 mismatched kits sewn together around the shoulders and the big, plastic, stuck on label just looked terrible. Great memories of that day though. I can't think of another club in England which has had such a ballistic rise to success in 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwaysaint Posted 28 March, 2014 Share Posted 28 March, 2014 Kelvin Davis Dan Harding Radhi Jaïdi José Fonte Joseph Mills Paul Wotton Dean Hammond © Michail Antonio Adam Lallana Rickie Lambert Papa Waigo Substitutes: Chris Perry Simon Gillett Lloyd James Bartosz Białkowski David Connolly Anyone else kind of forget that Gillett and James were still part of our team at that stage? I always associate them with the dire team that got relegated from the Championship, not the one that fought its way back to respectability. Mind you I'd also forgotten that we played Harding at RB rather than James. Incredible that Lambert and Lallana were on a journey there that might still end up with them playing for England in the WC finals this year.

I remember I was inexplicably living in Southsea at the time (don't worry, was only there a year and didn't catch anything). Traveled up on my own but only had to get as far as the A3 before seeing cars clad in red 'n white and flags. Everywhere we went in London seemed to have been taken over by Saints. Plenty of moments to cherish. Tinpot trophy, blah blah blah... As an occasion it was worth far more than the sum of its parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 28 March, 2014 Share Posted 28 March, 2014 Just back in from the game. (I live in Surrey) Awesome. Just awesome. It was my first trip to Wembley, and I must say it is a very impressive venue - I was so awestruck that I forgot to buy myself a programme! Damn it, will have to see if I can pick one up. All credit to the fans, you were all superb. It was a sea of red and white, the mexican waves were brilliant. Best chant of the day was inspired by Carlisle - long after the 4th goal, when we went quiet, they sang "You're not singing anymore" to which we replied "Stand Up if you're 4-0 up!" Loved it. My throat is raw now. We earned this. Performance wise, I would say it was hard going at times, Wotton was definitely the weak link in midfield, I was quite glad when he was taken off. Their midfield dominated at times, but we certainly came into it, and quickly. The penalty settled the nerves, Super Ricky Lambert was never going to miss that. He played well, but he wouldn't have been my man of the match, I'm going to be biased (as he's my favourite player) but Harding was superb again. It's so hard to give a MOTM today. The defence were great, Jaidi and Fonte won everything, Mills was dodgy at first but really came into the game in the second half. Antonio was busy, a typical "Antonio" game where he;s excellent at times, and off the pace in others. Waigo wasn't brilliant but was always seemingly in the right place at the right time. Lallana is going to be a hell of a player for us. Lambert - well he was Lambert. I'm shattered now, glad to be home, and looking forward to the Leyton Orient game on Easter Monday. COME ON YOU SAINTS.... re: Wotton - winning a trophy, at Wembley, with him in midfield was more impressive than anything. re: Harding - not sure what I was thinking back then, but I do love a trier, and he was played out of position. re: Lallana - I do get some things right. (Although even back then it was pretty obvious for everyone to see.) I'd love another return visit to Wembley. When we got knocked out the FA Cup this year I was fairly indifferent amongst the irate, but thinking of the JPT final brings back memories of how great it is to support your team on the big stage. (Granted, it's better if you win...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

so22saint Posted 28 March, 2014 Share Posted 28 March, 2014 Totally love this day, and it's touched with a tinge of sadness for me, not only around Marcus but also it was the last game I went to with my mum before she died of cancer (she went into a coma and came out to see us in the Championship, but didn't make it through the premier promotion season). It was a bloody brilliant day out all round, and given I also saw us lose in the ZDS I expect to see us win the FA Cup in about 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
