It's official: the greatest #SaintsFC goal ever scored at St Mary's 🏆
Take a bow, Sofiane Boufal 👏
Great to have got the negative points monkey off our backs so soon… and having taken only 2 points from Watford (a), Stoke (h) and Millwall (h) in 25/26, we’re actually no worse off than last season 😀 #Saintsfc

He's home 🥹

The day Kevin Keegan walked out at the Potter’s Heron hotel near Romsey is stuff of #SaintsFC folklore…
In a time before ‘here we go’ and the social media rumour mill, journalists gathered for Lawrie McMenemy’s surprise announcement… they weren’t disappointed!
Saints had signed the best player in Europe.
A tribute…

We are devastated to learn of the passing of Kevin Keegan.
Kevin signed for the club in 1980 as the holder of the Ballon d’Or and brought great joy to fans at The Dell and across the football world.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.

Not condoning in any way what #Saintsfc are guilty of but this process has just seen people make up punishments as they go along. What would the punishment have been if we’d lost to Boro? What about if spying had been discovered after Oxford? Nobody knows. No clarity, just chaos
The most shameful day for our football club. The memories of four of the most enjoyable months of recent years destroyed by the press of a recording button. And to what end? A stain on our reputation that has huge implications for now and the future. #Saintsfc
What a great #Saintsfc away end that was today. Not because it was dramatic or there were amazing limbs, but just because everyone was in great spirits and had a moment to celebrate a brilliant run of form with the squad. Amazing effort to get 5,600+ fans there for a 12.30ko.

Remarkably there are 5,600 #SaintsFc fans at Deepdale today !!🙌
What an incredible effort when you think it’s a week after Wembley and a week before the play-offs ….and it’s a long long way from home
Respect ✊ 💪😇

Southampton fans were fantastic today. Great sport. Applauding our youngsters winning the cup, applauding the women’s team & cheering the goals of our players kids in their lap of honour. Class act & made the atmosphere brill. Good luck in the playoffs 👏🏻👏🏻. Proper team #pnefc
Can we give some love to that brilliant Peretz save at the death? The mark of a keeper who makes match-defining saves. One of our best additions of recent years. I’m sure Larin has surprised a few of us too! #Saintsfc
Play-offs it is. And that in itself is a great achievement considering we were 15th and 10 points off 6th when this unbeaten run started 18 games ago. Whatever happens from here, I’m grateful to have had some pride put back into the club after a season of humiliation. #Saintsfc
The president of Emirates Airline was keeping it on-brand in the FA Cup semi-final programme, highlighting such standout moments of this year’s competition as Brighton winning at Man Utd (?!), but strangely not mentioning Emirates-backed Arsenal’s defeat by #Saintsfc 😆
Still trying to process emotions from yesterday. Pride & disappointment. 2nd half a hard watch and then bedlam. But perhaps we lost a bit of focus in that moment. And City did what asset-rich teams can do. Great to see the connection between fans and players at the end #Saintsfc

YELLOWS. ✊
ALT Matchday graphic for Manchester City vs Southampton, it features headshots of the players wearing the 1976 yellow and blue kit. From left to right (Ross Stewart, Kuryu Matsuki, Leo Scienza, Daniel Peretz (in the green and yellow goalkeeper kit), Welington, Shea Charles and Cyle Larin. The text on the graphic reads: Matchday. Manchester City vs Southampton. Sat 25 April. 5.15pm. Wembley Stadium.
A game too far in a congested month. What this team has produced in the past 18 days has been nothing short of remarkable. We weren’t even in the automatics conversation at the start of April. Must make sure we don’t allow this to derail us. But first on to Wembley! #Saintsfc
