    Yeah, I get it now, couldn't get my brain to engage why HRH was gloating, the penny has finally dropped.

    Good luck to all involved today. May the best south coast team win.

    I'd forgotten about the Europa league I got so wrapped up in the match, so that's a nice added bonus.

    We're not going to compete in the CL anyway so that's a good level for us to be playing at currently, loads of decent teams and another cup to go for.

    You know, to try to actually win. Not throw in the towel to concentrate on qualifying for a competition we won't win anyway.

    Again.

    Exactly the same reasons why I wasn’t too disappointed to see Spurs miss out on top 4. Europa is a realistic target where as CL would have meant elimination in the group stage

    You still wanna win a final at Wembley. Doesn’t happen very often for small clubs like QPR, Southampton or Spurs. The Zamora game is the single best moment I’ve had in 30 years of going.

    Cross the bridge of VAR and getting dicked most weeks when it comes.

    Backing Leeds for this.

    If they come up they're more or less guaranteed to take Rodon off our hands permanently.

    We can then try and take the piss out of Saints with a derogatory offer to get KWP back.

    Then from a general perspective Southampton are a boring club (sorry Libs) that bring nothing to the table, Leeds at least have a bit about them even if they are also ****e.

    So expect a 3-0 Southampton win.

    Not liking the team Southampton have picked tbh. It would be a much easier away day if they stay down but funnier if they win. Expect Leeds to win fairly comfortably.

    I'm all Leeds today, family member sat up in his hospital bed watching it and it's not looking good for him. Fingers crossed though.

    I don't really care who wins, but think I'd prefer to see Leeds in the Prem rather than Southampton, I just find them more entertaining.

    Soz Libby.

    I've probably jinxed Leeds now anyway. I'll go 3-1 Leeds.

    They did the standard thing when a team loses in a match and scanned the crowd for crying children. Usually I feel a bit sorry for them but there was a kid who must have been ten and all I could think was that they've definitely already seen their team win more than I have any hope of ever seeing my team win. Made me want to punch him till he stopped crying.

    Not much hope for my cards bet if he’s letting Firpo off with GBH.
