Pains me to say that the team were a lot better than the fans.
Itchen North was terrible today.
City’s fans were abysmal; we could have made it a proper fortress today.
Too many people either on their phones or wasting their time singing songs that nobody else knows.
Hassenhutl totally picked the wrong team; but our support was shit. |  |

Yes. Driving home for the game I heard Dave Merrington in his post match report on Radio Solent asking if there was any way the away fans could be moved so we could have a proper home end. Adam replied, no. He then asked why don't our singers just move into the Chapel. The Chapel was silent today. There was all the usual, "Your support is f--ing sh!t" from the away fans but, to be fair, until they went 2-1 up, City fans were fairly quiet. Let's face it, all teams' fans sing when they're winning but few teams have a total lack of a home end for big games like we do. The Itchen North were the first fans to pour out of the ground, ten minutes before the end.
What a contrast at Selhurst Park today, where the club and fans have developed a proper home end together. The Club even moved season ticket holders who didn't want to sing so their ultras could be directly behind the goal. Palace used to be one of the quietest sets of fans in the country but now all the TV pundits agree they have some of the best home support in the league. It shows it can be done.
Now watching Forest roared on by their Trent end. They don't need to hide away in the corners of the away end and gawk at the visiting supporters singing. If teams like Palace and Forest can have a proper home end, why on earth can't we? [Post edited 20 Mar 2022 19:08]

I agree that the Itchen North was quieter than it usually is as that people were on there phones etc, but that’s just mainly down to the Northam not being there, as well as loads of non regulars turning up and being like the typical tourist at the game today, hence why they never sung and were on their phones loads.
But with the whole songs that no one knows, I think that’s ok as you get new songs by singing them and getting people to know them, and after some of the songs we sing soo many times that have just no relevance to the game, and can be soo boring/basic, a new/different song ain’t actually a bad thing whatsoever. |  |

You do realise that all of Forest fans’ noise comes from the corner of the side stand next to the away fans, and that the Trent End is a morgue?
Pretty similar to St. Mary’s.
I guess you didn’t….. | |

The fact the club advertised this as our first quarter final
Since 2003 said it all | | | |

I think a cloud descended over Saints fans when the forward line was announced.
When you pay good money to watch your team try and make it to the Semi Final and Ralph picks that forward line...................
Just think we could have had Palace in the Semi Final, just like 76.
This result was down to Ralph. | | | |

Broja and Adams played most of the 2nd half. I'm not sure playing them would have made any difference with their goals. We would have had Liverpool in the semi final anyway. Lucky escape to be honest. Watching that lot celebrate reaching the final is more than I could take. Man City are a great team and would have knocked us out regardless. The PL is pointless and the cups are pointless. To demonstrate:
League cup winners = Liverpool
PL winners = Man City or Liverpool
Fa Cup winners = Liverpool, Man City or Chelsea.
We lost and we were always going to. [Post edited 20 Mar 2022 20:41]

I am glad we didn't think like that in 76.
We could have won today, given the right line up and mindset.
The first half City were poor, if they had gone in at halftime a goal or even two they would have been fighting the clock and a determined Saints. | | | |
| Today on 20:51 - Mar 20 with 1476 views | WestEndBoy |
Totally agree.sort of game with a decent front two we could do raced into an early 1 or 2 goal lead.instead of that just usual total local of ambition .if they are trying to keep all squad players happy it’s a joke as I’m sure long is happy not to start and pick up his 40k a week wages.2 week international break.what have we got to ply for?what is the point anymore if we don’t have a go in these games? | | | |

Well it wasn’t Ralph that missed all the golden opportunities to score up front (which were made by all 4 of the strikers), or make stupid/silly mistakes at the back that gifted city the goals. | |

Which is why if this club wants to go to next level we need a clear out.Stephens should be at a Middlesbrough or stoke next season:no where near a premier league starting 11 same as Shane long | | | |

Times have changed since 76. Man City will soon be adding Haaland to their team. The same teams will win the league, and the same teams will win the cups. We were never gonna beat City today baring a miracle. Forest were never gonna beat Liverpool. It's just the way it is. | |

If you believe it will never happen it more and likely wont. | | | |

Don’t agree with this. We have played them twice this season .and came close to beating them twice.they really weren’t that great today.seemed like the 75% of the ground were there to see the Man City show …: | | | |

Ok, I believe we will win the league. We know it won't happen because there are 4 or 5 teams that spend 750 million pounds more on their team. | |

We wont win the league, I know that, but a one off game anything can happen if you pick your best players and go for it. | | | |

I think we did go for it. We hit the post in the first 10 mins. Arguably, I agree we should have started with Broja and Adams but they haven't been much good recently. Broja seems off the boil. It was Stephens and Salisu who lost us the game today. But as I said, that's the level of player we have. Adams came on and missed at 2 1, so did it make any difference?

You just cant keep messing about with players like Ralph does, it upset the rhythm when he dropped so many for the cup game and we never recovered . | | | |
