Thanks Theo & Oxo
Those Saints fans waiting to leaveSt mary's after the game had a pleasant surprise from two of Arsenal's players.
Before the Arsenal game I wrote of how both Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain should be warmly welcomed back to St Mary's for their first return to the club, in the case of Theo its been seven years since he left and with Oxo only eighteen months, but in a nice gesture from both players after the final whistle they showed that they still have a lot of affection for Southampton Football lub and its fans.
Both players came back on to the pitch after the game and walked to all sections of the ground and applauded the Saints fans who in turn applauded them back, in today's cynical game something of this nature is not seen very often with most players not caring who they play for as long as the money is big, Theo & Alex didnt have to do this, no one expected it and no one would have thought any different if they hadnt, but the fact is they did and it was appreciated by all who witnessed it.

Leeds crush Norwich to cruise through to play-off finalWith our recent form being what it was, I was expecting a nervy encounter, with Leeds struggling to get through the Norwich City defence, but how wrong I was! Suddenly we recovered the swagger we have shown for much of the season, and not a moment too soon.
Farke happy with the result after bore draw at NorwichMany neutrals have complained on social media that yesterday’s game at Norwich City was a bit on the dull side, but the Leeds team wasn't set up to please them. For us it was the result that mattered, and it should leave us in a better position to get through to the final.
Norwich AwaydazeFor the second time this season we are visiting Norwich City, this time for the play-off game at high noon on Sunday, and the kick-off time is of course thanks to our good friends at Sky Sports. You’ll find Carrow Road is about a mile to the south-east of the city centre.
