I fucking hate Leicester. So pleased we did it against them. Unreal.

Thank you, universe.

[notnowcato]

Fuck off!! Hahahaha

[trousers]

Stupendous result but doesn't absolve Eckert's abject decision making in the first half. Should have been much more comfortable than it was but, f**k it, a win's a win...hoorah!!

I might just go at sit outside quietly and have a beer. It's a beautiful evening here. Not dark yet and about 30º

Nice. Where you to?

[LaptopSaint]

Fuck me. That could be a sliding doors moment in the season. Up we go 

[Oisin]

Eat my goal

[Saint NL]

I said at half time that I might turn off for the first time ever. Pretty glad I didn't 😂😂😂

[SNSUN]

Play offs still on then. Looked dead and buried at 45 mins.

[Baird of the land]

Great character by the team in the 2nd half. Fantastic to see, given in times the team has crumbled.

charles is such a quality player. I thought he’d won it with the ball to azaz and then he won it with a beaut of a finish after doing great work in the build up too

[saintant]

Brilliant win. Wonder how many we'd have won by if we'd started Stewart 🙂 The Leicester forum will be interesting.

[Mattio]

Wow just wow. I’m regretting turning off at 3-0 but who cares. We are going up!

I mean, we never do this. 

Never.

Actually never.

Can't say that anymore!

[Sheaf Saint]

I mean, where do you even start to unpack that?

We gifted Leicester a 3-0 lead thanks to an absolute tactical clusterfuck in the first half, but we were still very deserving winners in the end.

Just crazy.

FT, what a come back. 

Archer can never play again....

Saints going for it in the 2nd half is what it is all about. We have forward players to do serious damage, and it showed.

This was clearly the TE plan all along. Make Archer look shit, bin him forever and smash the oppo second half. Fucking genius he is. 

[Charlie Wayman]

Quite a few idiots on here need to wobble their heads. Doubt they have the guts to retract all their spiteful venom aimed at the manager and certain players at HT. 

[Maggie May]

Now I know what it was like to be a Tranmere fan in 2001.

[Miltonaggro]

That’s for you Vardy! Steptoe ratfaced cunt! 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Charles shot was not just a lucky thump - it was a goal of class! ❤️

[VectisSaint]

Masterclass of substitutions by Tonda. Fooled everyone by playing Archer first half in order to get Stewart and Larin both on. Bringing Charles and Manning on. The man is a genius. 

[Mboto Gorge]

First time in my lifetime we’ve won from 3 down. Can only remember one draw from 3 down, against liverpool In 2000

[adrian lord]

Beautiful payback for Leicester's transgressions against us over the years!

[St. Ciervo]

I, for one, plan on spending my evening reading the Leicester forum. 

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

I bet that feeling is more enjoyable than winning 9-0.

[Lard]

Feck me. Epic comeback. 
but that shouldn’t disguise the utter clusterfuck of a first half. 
And team selection. 

[Micky]

Pretty decent 2nd half too be fair.

It's like a big dollop of cum-flavoured ice cream on top of a cake of shit.

Last night in Buenos Aires. I join my ship tomorrow ba k to Barcelona. 

I don't normally drink much but...

What the f**k!

[Saint86]

Just amazing 2nd half, but imagine if we played like that in both halves ffs. 🤣

I don't disagree but another way of looking at it is he gave Archer a chance and it was not just wasted but it was shat on and lit on fire. Doubt he gets another start for a long time now.

[SNSUN]

Maybe let's not make it so hard for ourselves in the cup game on Saturday! I'd take the same result though.

Amazing comeback. Just amazing.

[skintsaint]

[Swaythling Saint]

What a second half! Absolutely crazy game!

True. But second half Tonda got it right.

He can still learn.

Enjoy mate. Beautiful country.

[Osvaldorama]

Fuck me lads. 
 

That was bloody brilliant. After the worst first half performance of the season.  
 

I don’t remember a game like that. Where we’ve been SO bad to so good. Mental. 

[Mr X]

Please Can someone post some comments from the Leicester forum on here to top the night off! 

[Matthew Le God]

Currently only 1 point off a playoff spot

[jasonbenali]

What a comeback, unbelievable and what a finish to win it, world class from Charles and the one from Jack wasn't half bad either!!

Sometimes, just sometimes, we get to have nice things. 

Who said we were shit in the second half?! 😂

Hopefully we do on Saturday. Properly ruin their week.

Look at Hunta84’s post https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/138785-southampton-match-thread-h-745/page/55/#comments

’Matt Elliott and Iwan Roberts were saying to get the fourth and kill the game. Looks like Southampton took their advice’
