I may well have seen you then, who knows! I was certainly cuddling and being cuddled by a few randoms after a few drinks, in sheer joy over beating the skates! |

Who is going? Setting off midday at about 12, there and back in the day. Sunday woukd have taken a lot out of the players. A few changes to the team I would imagine? We do need another result though looking at the table. |

Reply | Was that the worst skate support at St Mary's?
at 14:42 12 Oct 2026
You're right the true fans were out in force yesterday. I met a few fans yesterday from all over the world. I met a group from Belgium, a group from Dubai. The big games get all the Saints fans from across the country and the world together. I did walk over to that section at the end to give them some stick and it was full of Saints fans clambering over the fences to give them stick, and you could see the same in the Chapel. They were £55 seats, I have a feeling there were plenty there who don't normally go, as that section is normally quite empty, loads left in that section for Bolton, but proper Saints fans nonetheless.

It felt like a bit of a punch in the stomach when Bragg got sent off. We were well on top, and I could only see us going on to win by more but then the sending off changed things. Tonda and the players then did an incredible job doing what we had to do to win the game. We showed resilience, strength and passion to get that game won. Under the circumstances, winning one nil was very satisfying and full credit to the players. |

1) Fantastic atmosphere. It was a proper derby atmosphere. The whole ground singing and great to see a huge crowd of fans in the Chapel rubbing it in next to the barriers at the end.
2) Mark Dennis is brilliant and well worth having him make a speech.
3) Trouble after the game with fences being pulled down. Seen videos of both sides of the fence and angry Pompey fans really angry to fight and hurt people. It did make me think about why the bubble is there. There would be chaos if the fans had mixed.
4) Ended up at the Engineers Arms after the game. Had a few drinks there. About an hour after the game, police cars and vans started turning up to the confusion of us all. News that the Pompey busses were coming, and that news emptied the whole pub onto the streets outside People got out of their cars, beeping horns, swinging scarves and flags. We gave the skates some stick, with beers in our hands. They were all frothing at the mouth on their busses, banging the windows, headbutting the window. The moment that hit home we had bragging rights. A wonderful moment that just about made the day.
5) Arguably Bragg shouldn't have started but starting a Saints fan in a derby makes sense. He is a young player I like. He will learn. It didn't matter. What a day it was.
We beat the skates 😂🤣😅 |

Thread | The Atmosphere / Our Incredible Fans
at 13:07 12 Oct 2026
The atmosphere yesterday was incredible. We drowned out the skates and all four sides of the ground sang loud and proud. It was intense, edgy, a proper derby.
Nick, great to see you acknowledge this in your match report. It was indeed electric. Our fans have suffered. The Saints support has been criticised in the past, unfairly. We can't be conpared to other clubs, who always have success. It's really simple. Give us something to cheer, something to be proud of, players to be proud of, a manager who we know has this club's back, and some f@cking wins and our fans are the best in the country.
The adversity, playing a whole half with 10 men against our nearest rivals, a manager who has just been freed, thrown out of the playoff final last season, yet we had a day to never forget yesterday. Love this club and so do all our fans.
This derby was everything we wanted and after last years wet lettuce performance under Will.Still, I would much rather a born and bread Saints fan in Bragg, pulling down the skates and showing some aggression, players who care. Thank you Tonda, for uniting this club and bringing back the pride. [Post edited 12 Oct 13:10]

Possession football doesn't work. If you have a fantastic team, any tactics work. But Leicester have 70 per cent possession today but getting thrashed. RM sticking to.these rigit tactics will get him.the sack again. |

Reply | Will There Be A Team Bus Welcome
at 14:54 9 Oct 2026
There wasn't a team bus welcome last time. The Saints players will.be in the stadium early I assume well before fans start arriving for security reasons. There was a "get-together" with flares etc at the front of the stadium last time at about 11am. St Mary's will I am sure, and needs to be electric on Sunday. From a 11am to 2pm, we need to be a cauldron of noise. I am more confident than ever that King Tonda and the players will give us a victory to celebrate.
I am buzzing for Sunday. Tonda's news is such a relief, he's at the wheel. We are going to smash them on Sunday. If we beat them, how are we all going to celebrate?
And yes I know, it's arrogant, jumping the gun but I have had a.premonition. We will win against these b@staads. [Post edited 9 Oct 14:57]

I'm already getting pumped up for huge celebrations on Sunday. Come on Saints, stuff those b@ataads and celebrate as a whole city on Sunday afternoon, with Tonda doing a celabratory lap of the pitch at the end. Such a relief it's over. [Post edited 7 Oct 21:02]

Reply | Dave Jones: Interesting Chat on The Managers, YouTube

He was neither good nor terrible for me. He was perhaps an "okay" manager at the time, who did a reasonable job in keeping us up, then a respectable 12th place finish. He wasn't very charasmatic, and had a few issues with Le Tissier. He took over from Sounness and Merrington previous to that, who both only just kept Saints up on the final day of the season. I seem to remember some great games and results under Jones, beating Liverpool away and Newcastle at home in the rain at the Dell, to the demise of Ruud Gullet. In his final season before Hoddle came in, it was going to pot on the pitch but he lasted about 3 years wasn't it, and that was good going at the time! [Post edited 6 Oct 20:49]

If they ban him on Thursday, we can then leave it 14 days until we appeal. During tha period of deciding whether we appeal or not, I asssume Tonda can carry on managing? |

The 3 nil win at the Dell was a great day. The1984 cup game last minute winner is probably the best in terms of winning it in the last minute. We had a 3 nil win at St Mary's too at christmas time, after having beaten them in the cup wasn't it in the same week? Those two games were both easy wins I.seem to remember. Wasn't Strachan manager?

Whatever happens with Tonda, it's a huge game on Saturday that Southampton Football Club has to win. The players need to get the job done and the supporters need to roar them on to victory. We can't afford the Tonda situation to overshadow just how important this game is. Deal with the fallout about Tonda (if there is one).after the game. Get the job done and beat those f@ckers come what may. |

Ah ok, but I guess I mean are the bulk from Fratton all.leaving at the same time? Last season some left at 7:30, some at 8:00, some at 8:30 etc but seems.like those from Fratton Park (and the same will happen for.us at St Mary's) all leave at the later time of 8:55, at the same time, so all fans arrive ready to leave at the same time. |
