I liked how Adam Armstrong celebrated a yellow card by thinking it was the final whistle, ripping off his shirt and running at the crowd. Embarrassing.

As Portsmouth get promoted into the Championship, Southampton get promoted out. Hampshire police glad they don't have to deal with the derbies.

Meh. Once again, an impossibly comprehensive bottle job as soon as the real pressure came about. Congrats Saints. Took their chance. Someone needs to tell Farke that passing the ball the full width of the opposition box and back does count towards the result.

Hope the internet points were worth the dangerous driving charges for those two drivers.

Doubt it, you get closer to other cars on the M27 at the moment as lane 2 is barely wide enough for a car where the roadworks are. Proper squeaky bum time if there is a 16 wheeler in lane 1.

Had a bit of time to process it all now. I’m disappointed, but it’s not at all unexpected so hard to be too outraged. We’ve now been in six playoffs, and four finals, and never been promoted through them which is a new record. Yay.
In any normal season 90 points gets you up so it’s hard to be too mad at Farke. Also, Southampton are really good, and had already comfortably beaten us twice this season so not exactly a shock result. We seem to have an hour of attacking possession without ever creating a clear cut chance, but one well executed ball in behind is enough to undo us. It’s happened repeatedly all season. We can’t break a low block, and a well executed counter is our weakness. We dominated possession for the first 15 minutes, Southampton’s back 5 was solid and impenetrable, then one Smallbone ball through the big gap to Armstrong and it was game over. Never felt we were going to score after that.
Saints came with a plan to nullify and exploit us, and for the third time this season it worked a charm. Better team on the day won.
Hopefully next season the competition is a bit less fierce at the top. None of the three teams just relegated from the PL should be as good as Leicester or Southampton were this season.
Unrelatedly, on the way back a bunch of Leicester fans had congregated on the bridge over the M1 at Leicester Forest East services flying their promotion flags at Leeds fans heading home. It got a good laugh from me, that’s some top tier shithousing.

RB Leeds. Because people didn’t hate us enough.

Dirty RB doesn't have the same ring to it.

On the plus side, the pool of likely promotion teams could be getting a bit shorter.
