This is totally why, we are who we are. How many Dads, Grandads, Brothers, Sisters etc have made a choice like this over time. must be a good few and that sense of belonging, stems from those small but wonderful gestures!

Talking in work about how amazing yesterday was also punched me in the gut (without showing it) that while we’ll have future memories to come at the HDS, it’ll never be anything like what we saw yesterday because there won’t be that community...
Just to say, as a lifelong Southampton fan, what an absolute privilege it was to be at the game yesterday. The noise from the singing before the game was as good as anything I’ve ever heard on my travels to football grounds all over the country...
Meh. Personally thought MOTD's coverage was disgusting. Not so much the match, but at the end, where they talked about the places we remember and then proceeded to show a love-in with the rs and coverage of anfield that took up most of the montage.
Hard to even put into words yesterday - surreal, magical, heartwrenching, joyous. I might have a go later in the week.

Absolutely hated today, felt so detached from everything as I was working so missed the build up, the match, the post match (I tried to watch a bit as work was winding down and the stream went off twice).
Hopefully get to watch the match later...
What a bloody brilliant day.
What an atmosphere.
Must have been 150,000 blues, well behaved, enjoying a beer and some banter in the sun prior to the match.
Great result.
God bless the Grand Old Lady 💙
I'm a grown adult but I've spent the last few days choking up thinking about tomorrow and watching all of the coverage of our fantastic football club. Thank you Dad for being a blue, wish you were here to see tomorrow...I'll take my seat with my...
