JPT Final Carlisle United 1 Saints 4


Dean Hammond and Kelvin Davis lifting the Johnstone's Paints Trophy earlier this afternoon at Wembley! Well done Southampton - it is great to have won something - it's been a grim 5 years before this season.


Pyrotechnics as the teams were presented


An occasion for all ages to celebrate.


The beautiful game.


Impressive architecture - this was my first visit to the 'new' Wembley.


Everyone was up for it - a true red and white army!

It was a great day out - not just because we won. There were 45,000 Saints fans in the stadium and 30,000 Carlisle fans - we didn't hear much from them.

It was very much a workman-like performance from Saints - nothing flash, they were there to do a job and they did it. Next Saturday and it's back to the grind with an away match at Brighton. If Saints win all remaining games and teams above us slip up, there is a chance we will make it to the play-offs. In which case, it will be back to Wembley.

Well done Southampton Football Club. Grateful thanks to Markus Leibherr, Nicola Cortese and Alan Pardew.
