Our thanks to Mr_Dolf as he regales us with what he saw pre, during and post-match with NUFC 2 SouthamptonFC 1 NUFC
We are well and truly in pinch yourself territory…I need to start here with a sort of confession that I hope a decent percentage of readers can identify with.
I’m going to say this now, but anyone who has used the internet to jump down people’s throats whenever there has been talk of the final, is a trumped up clumpy slipper. We went into this tie in solid form, unbeaten since August in the league, we sit third in while Southampton prop the table up. Finally, the game came around. Beered up me took the hasty decision to wave round one of the big flags, which is hard work by the way, but I helped make the place look nice for the introduction of new signings Harrison Ashby and Anthony Gordon, with the latter looking particularly bemused at the sight of a ground buzzing with hope and excitement, instead of raining boos and building roadblocks.
On 20 minutes, the opportunity arrived and the tie was out to bed. Joe Willock danced down the left side and played in Almiron, who centred for the onrushing Longstaff who calmly finished in his stride, taking his tally of goals at SJP to three, some four years after his first against Burnley. This goal, and the celebrations that followed, will live long in the memory for me, 3-0 up with our defensive capabilities was surely insurmountable.
