Why does Jack look like he's just been pepper-sprayed?

'cause Shea came off the bench.

Yep it's exactly the sort of result teams have when they're going to be relegated

And on the flip side, when they are making a late charge for the play offs...

Just on the train home.

The greatest game I've ever been to.

Forget the first half, it was shit.

The second half was incredible. We never do that. That stuff happens to us, not the other way around.

I'm in complete shock but I love it. Apart from Portsmouth, that was the perfect team for that to happen against. That avenges the 9-0 and that awful last-minute goal last season. We're even now.

And even better we get to rub it in their faces on Saturday.

Hahahahahahaha. Fuck off you foxy cunts.

Thanks! That Jack goal was excellent but the finish from Charles was sublime. 

Credit to Manning to be fair, not just his goal but he kept the ball in play for Jack’s goal too. Funny to see Manning, THB & Jack all up there fir that goal…

Also have a confession to make in that I think I'm enjoying Jack Stephens again. Give him another three years.

From the highlights he looked to be playing CF for a bit.

Missed a bit of a sitter but we can forgive him for that I guess

A lot of focus has been on Larin getting ready for the Canada World Cup squad. But, surely Stewart is also an outside bet for the Scotland national team should he finally remain fit. George Hirst and Lyndon Dykes in their most recent squad alongside Che Adams and Lawrence Shankland, and a fit Stewart is at least better than the first two.

Just needs to do the hard bit for him and remain fit.

Shankland out injured for the next two months at least. Dykes in very poor form. I don't think Hirst is playing regularly for Ipswich is he? 

Adams is the only cert for me.

Wow. For me that's final closure after 20-odd years for the humiliating 4-3 loss to Leeds after being 3-0 up at half time and the Northam singing 'easy easy' after 45 min...

Football, bloody hell.

Really, or are you just saying that for the LOLs? Or did you go to a pub to drown your sorrows and then hit the first Saints fan who told you we won 4-3 because you thought they were taking the mick?!;-)

Good game for Stewart think he also got two assists as well as scoring . She’s Charles needs to be starting after that I think our best midfielder and he hasn’t really had that much game  time with saints but he’s come on leaps and bounds now

What a night. Fantastic experience and very glad we got a good stream to watch it. 
 

Slightly gutted I wasn’t there. I rang their box office this afternoon to check I could get tickets in the away end if I drove up - something I’ve done before when we’ve played up there and made a late call - apparently that isn’t possible these days. I was please at half time but….

Ah fuck it, I'll admit Tonda was right to start Archer. If he hadn't we'd probably have sneaked a boring narrow win or draw. His decision led to a stunning come back and a game the like of which we've rarely, if ever, seen before. Fair play for setting us up fot a night to remember Tonda.

While all of that is true, what Tonda didn’t appreciate, or act on, was the need to make changes on the half-hour after Leicester’s third goal goes in.   He should have replaced Jander who was having an out-of-character shocker; he should have replaced Archer for reasons which don’t need explaining, and he could have taken Fellows off who couldn’t get into the game and whose head had dropped after the awful back pass.    It took a miracle and a touch of class from Shea Charles to rescue three points, and save Tonda’s blushes.    Yes, they are playing for him, yes he made several good tactical changes, but the Archer experiment and the delayed substitutions invite justified criticism.

In fairness, I do understand why Stewart and Larin did not start (fitness concerns) and can also understand why he then wouldn't have wanted to make that sub until at least half time. But I do agree that Jander should certainly have come off earlier when it was clear he was having such a poor night and was also at real risk of a red card, especially when we had such a good replacement in Charles who arguably should be starting anyway.

That said, at least he was decisive at half time with the 3 changes that were all needed and fully justified by the second half performance so fair play to him for that. We all know he is a work in progress as a manager, let's hope he can continue to improve and learn on the job. We're back in the mix now! 👍

This is great entertainment 

 

About 10 seconds before Manning equalised they were saying "We're going to lose this".

A prediction on the Leicester forum:

I’m sure the Southampton fans will be very gracious and not mention tonight’s result at all on Saturday

Football, bloody hell.

I remember the Leeds fans singing "We're going to win 4-3" after they went 3-0 down. I thought their gallows humour was quite funny. I didn’t expect them to bloody do it.

I'm sorry for you but laughing at the same time. Well done for going all that way though! Who'd be a fan eh..

Still in awe.

I thought we could maybe nick a draw.

We can't play that bad in the second half right, plus we have some decent attacking players.

 

I don't actually mind putting out a very mixed team out on Saturday now. Those players deserved a rest. Just put in a whole lot of training and tactics before the Charlton game

Just home thanks to roadworks on every bit of road between Leicester and Soton. Bizarre game, as shit as we were first half, I thought Leicester were too and it was just a case of everything they hit went in. I said at HT, reckon we get the next one and they’ll shit themselves, thinking we might make a game of it. Fuck me did we make a game of it. One for the ages. 
 

Feel for those who left early. I’ve left games at 3-0 down before but felt it wasn’t quite done yet. Had a 4th gone in, I’d have been on my way back to the car. We got smashed 5-0 last time I was there so was thinking it’d be more of the same, sweet revenge

At 3-0 down I was having a slight panic attack thinking about the 9-0 nightmare. it may not of been total payback but that win feels absolutely brilliant

At 3-0 down Leicester fans were singing we want 9 and 'Southampton, it's happened again ' 

Just home now, it's a funny old game as Saint and Greavsie would say
