It was interesting arriving at Baker Street - the Globe was packed and the
atmosphere frantic with the expectation levels high. Couldn't get a drink so
went over the road to the Soton pub and in there it was easy to get a drink and
felt like it a relaced Sunday afternoon in a beer garden with the occassionally
when the Saints go marching in. Maybe it's that level of expectancy that get's
to the players and causes our downfall. The Saints fans seemed much more
relaxed to me .... and so did I after 6 pints

Well this was the archetypal " a great weekend spolit by 90mins football " -
been there , done that so many times in the past , including but not limited
to 3 play off finals this century without a single goal to cheer
Despite misgivings over the stuff surrounding this " final" i was fully on
board and was massively up for it. The area around Paddington and then Covent
Garden were turned into leeds united territory as our fans massed together and,
much to the delight of tourists taking photos, we sang, danced and jumped
around going ' fuc8ing mental"
So a great Saturday evening, followed by a 50/50 split in afew pubs on Baker
Street and 100% leeds united Globe ( when it emptied enough for us to get in)
We all wanted to win, obviously , but were not so impressed with what would
come next - an attempt to be the 4th worst team in the prem, hardly a great
ambition ,
As for the game, as they say in boxing , styles make fights, well ours and
Southampton styles make a bore- fest in which they always had the edge. once
they scored it genuinely felt like game over, DJ tried his best to change that
but we never really looked like getting the goal(s) we needed.
So LUFC set another unwanted record ( most play offs without a victory, so ive
been told) and its another year ( my last on my 20yr ST) in the champo. Such is
life.
I have got up today in absolute agony due to various health issues and did
amuse myself by singing " for the sake of leeds United i have broke (sic)
myself in two" even if im not a red headed dynamo.
Final point i hope Saints fans can learn at least one other song , the only
time i heard them in the pub or in the ground was that dirge , oh when the
saints, sung at half speed- tedious
Roll on 24/25 season it will be our year ( honest)
Dave
