For various (but slightly annoying family) reasons I found myself sat in the Chapel end last night amongst the home fans.
I have never been surrounded by a more disinterested, uneducated and negative bunch of people. There was zero atmosphere apart from about 5 minutes after the penalty and a solitary “when the saints” which I found quite incredible considering I was at an end behind the goal.
There was constant complaining and I general lack of understanding on the basic rules of football including offside and VAR.
They were quite magnanimous in defeat and with exception of a few gripes about us going down easily and time wasting were complimentary of us and our play. My favourite moment was the abuse Boufal got when he went down under a challenge and pretended to be hurt.
But my word - the thing I was most impressed by, above even the result, was the support from the away end. You guys were amazing, In full voice nearly the whole game. Completely out sung the home fans. Hats off to all who were there and thank you for making a cherry in the home end proud!
