I just hope we win!!! 😅 Have to pinch myself every game at the moment (15wins, 3 draws... where is the loss coming from 😅😄). This has banana skin written all over it in my mind, but then so did Blackburn and derby... and we just keep winning. What is happening?!?!?!? Not sure i can handle this, especially after supporting saints last season (which i would liken to the footballing equivalent of an abusive relationship) - are we actually allowed nice things this year?🤣

Season ticket holders do 19 or 23 home games a season... I would argue that if a member/non-member does the same number of games (same effort) then they should be in the same access bracket personally (although they've paid a lot more for it).

That was my recollection.

Well said. And what shouldn't need to be said, is that if two fans both attend the same number of matches (be it 3, or 5, or 8 etc.), one of them isn't a better fan because they have a membership and the other doesn't. We're all saints fans, anyone who makes the effort to go and support the club shouldn't be looked down on as a second class fan because they didn't buy a membership in July!!

It is absolutely mental how long it took successive managers (including Eckert) to adopt the obvious 4-2-3-1 formation, the uptick in form post this is stark. What is it now, 18 matches, 15 wins, 3 draws... 😄. It feels like a distant memory when people were asking where the 5 at the back crap was coming from through successive managers.

Looks like the Ipswich board have selected a few comments from prized posters on SaintsWeb (and then compared us to the Millwall board). The overall verdict being that we are "a well mannered and good footy forum"... take a bow all😄😅 Forum | The RUN-IN - Town & Rivals - REFRESHED - Saints now in the mix! by unstableblue | TWTD.co.uk

Not sure its as straight forward as this? If you aren't logged in then you won't be eligible to join the queue?

This season is getting to the "pinch yourself" stage...

Portsmouth are winning!!!!

I fear that if we don't get promoted, we will be vulnerable to losing him. We all know that in that situation, sales will be required this summer - would he stick around to build up a new team when its likely he'll have bigger clubs or Bundesliga clubs calling etc?

It's very unlikely we catch Ipswich, and we shouldn't be relying on relegation fodder for the slip up needed to catch them... With that in mind, I hope Ipswich smash them and help send them down 😅

A good win today could be massive. Millwall dropped points last night, Ipswich have Norwich away, and Portsmouth may do us a favour at Boro (and if not they're staring relegation right in the face so silver linings).

Just face reality mate, you chat a large amount of shit at times, and you don't even have the balls to admit it when you're wrong (unlike most of the forum). If you want to wear that like a badge of honour then all the more power to you, personally I'm enjoying how much its got to you whilst drinking cocktails by a pool... You gave me an extra little smile if that helps 🤣... Hope that the nibble you're after... But fyi, if you don't like when you get called out for being wrong on a football forum, you probably best find a new hobby... Your "precious" levels seem to be off the chart though... 🤣😆 I'm hoping we get him signed up to a new contract quick as he's clearly learned PDQ and has addressed all my initial concerns over him in fairness. Sadly he's done so well (more than I suspect anyone was even hoping) that I suspect we'll lose him to a bigger club / bundesliga in the not too distant future 🤷.

This is getting a bit silly now...

I am wrestling with the knowledge that we're a superb team for the level (and we are bang in form), with the scarring of a lifetime of being a saints fan and knowing that we very rarely get nice things. I want to say we'll get promoted via the playoffs. I even want to say we'll get past man city... But I just feel like those kind of dreams / fairytales are forbidden and so incredibly fragile that to even whisper them will end in tears. I also know that regardless of any romanticism, if we fail to get promoted we will basically be saying bye bye to eckert, Peretz, scienza, thb, and likely Charles... So I think the description of a knife edge is very valid... We have to have a near perfect ending to the season (which would be one of the best ever seasons in modern history) or we will be staring a bleak come down straight in the face this summer. We're like a high stakes gambler betteting it all on the perfect roll, but with no choice but to gamble. Having said all that, I chose to dream - get ready for 3 wins at wembley saints fans, this shit is happening 😆
