Matthew Le Tissier Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 It feels like Christmas eve as a nipper!
Saint_clark Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 Agreed. Haven't felt like this since the Sheffield United game at home.
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 This is EXACTLY how I feel ! but tainted with a touch of fear of failiure.
Colinjb Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 Christmas has never dissapointed me though. This could, but right now I am buzzing!
Nineteen Canteen Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 Feels like an unexpected day off school but you have to go to the dentist. Suddenly double Chemistry seems attractive.
Arizona Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 For me it's like Christmas Eve, living in downtown Doha. I'm not going.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 Feels like Christmas eve, but with a much higher potential risk of an electrical failure burning down the tree and all the presents under it.
Bensfcno1 Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 I sed to my girl friend that it was like christmas, but a little better! She was not happy as I spent last christmas at her's! I cant sleep, im too EXCITED (Disnep advert)
Footballfan Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 better than christmas, thats only lasts 1 day this could last for years
Matthew Le God Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 Saint_clark said: Agreed. Haven't felt like this since the Sheffield United game at home. It is a very different situation to that, so surely you feel different about being an underdog in a cup game compared to potentially getting relegated?
Nineteen Canteen Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 Last 3 games I have watched are Exeter, Stockport and MK Dons all at home all home wins. I have seen nothing in those 3 performances to suggest we can get near to beating Pompey tomorrow and their performance on Tuesday night suggests that we will be well beaten. I hope I am wrong but they have more reason to raise their game (one already above our level) and pure survival can be a hell of a motivator and AP will have a job motivating our troops to that level. In fact I am concerned some of our players may be overawed by the atmosphere. Lambert was unaware how much it meant and Waigo and Antonio I suspect will be clueless about the importance and their inconsistency and light 'weightedness' must be a concern. Davis, Thomas, Harding and Jaidi are potentially the only players who may have experienced games of this intensity. I hope if the worse happens and we lose I hope it is with dignity and any arrests are purely from the blue corner.

Perhaps I should edit to say I haven't felt this nervous/excited/apprehensive since that game.

No, you should stick with your original opinion. In this instance you can't change how you feel and if smug posters want to challenge a post where most know where you are coming from then best ignore them. Its not a time for text books.

Fair enough. I thought it was obvious what I meant as well. But of course, MLG has been in a right foul mood lately
Matthew Le God Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 I'm happy oh so happy, happy as happy can be!
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 I'm not sure whether I'm more nervous or excited. From what I remember from the other derby games I've been to, I was too nervous to enjoy the game!

But of course, MLG has been in a right foul mood lately Marking all those mock exams and worrying about 5 A-C pass rates including Maths and English so they can have a healthy intake to start programming in September. Or he could just be smug and self-important.

Gigersaint Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 (edited) Been looking forward to this since the draw, up until Wednesday I was quite patiently waiting. But the last couple of days I have been more than distracted to the build up of this game including Pompeys fate, and since then have had this site minimised on my Desktop at work so I could regularly pop it up and view the latest postings. Today I spent as much time on here as working and the anticipation of tomorrows game is now one of genuine excitement. I really hope we do win but whatever the result I'm sure it will be a great day, albeit a lot more sombre should we lose. Edited 12 February, 2010 by Gigersaint Repeated a word
John Boy Saint Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 Enjoy! ........................we have nothing to lose, we are a clear division below them, should they beat us, on paper it is expected, we are the metaphorical banana skin for once lets hope they step on it. Merry Christmas

Griffo Posted 13 February, 2010 Posted 13 February, 2010 COME ON YOU SAINTS. Won't be able to sleep tonight either. Looking forward tomorrow more for the banter and atmosphere tbh, because I have already prepared myself that we will probably lose.
red and white saint Posted 13 February, 2010 Posted 13 February, 2010 Totally agree really dont want this game tomorrow, but would be so happy with anything other than defeat
Bailey Posted 13 February, 2010 Posted 13 February, 2010 Absolutely bang up for this! We've got nothing to lose, lets enjoy it and do ourselves justice. COYR!
Langleysaint Posted 13 February, 2010 Posted 13 February, 2010 Been up since 04.30 ,cannot wait ,COYR

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 13 February, 2010 Posted 13 February, 2010 Like Christmas Day, where you have to share your front room with people you never normally would (The out-laws).
Iowsaintsfan Posted 13 February, 2010 Posted 13 February, 2010 Its snowing here too now, it really is christmas!!!
dubai_phil Posted 13 February, 2010 Posted 13 February, 2010 Thank heavens the OP mentioned Xmas Eve as a nipper. Memories of the toys you almost wanted rather than when you get older and all you get is a "nice" aftershave from the car boot sale and a woolly jumper which you REALLY need down here. Memories of hanging a sack up - to remind you of what will happen to Storrie teller next week some time:-) A Happy day, the GF sensed it when she went off to work this morning with the words I know you're going to be back late of course you'll be out partying all night, the result's written in the Stars. Wish I was as confident! You lucky bstds to those going, a good luck to those struggling in deep dark corners of the world with internet streams at ungodly hours, today, just once, it feels like we belong to something special that is much bigger than all of us.

It is something special. We are as one, chosen. Even if we lose (most of us are realists) we'll shed a proverbial tear but will stand proud that we have something special as aints fans. I'll be watching it in the Loco Club in Eastleigh. If any forum member comes in, just look out for the fat bstd in a red and black top. Introduce yourself and I'll buy you a beer!

I have got to take the kids swimming and dancing first, hopefully that will take away two hours!!! can't believe the collywobbles this morning! not fussed about cup as we probably can't win it, today is our cup final and more!!!
The Godfather Posted 13 February, 2010 Posted 13 February, 2010 I finish work in a hours time, enouth time to go home have a shower and get to the pub before going to the game. All is quiet behing enemy lines at the moment.
bristolsaint29 Posted 13 February, 2010 Posted 13 February, 2010 Both me and my 2 year old son sat in our saints kit( I'm not wearing the shorts though), wife thinks we're mad! About to go to Sainsburys for breakfast and will both be showing off our shirts!!
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 13 February, 2010 Posted 13 February, 2010 Will TCWTB make an appearance? He's the one who will get the venom from me! Even my pet skates say they dislike him and that he smells like he hasn't washed for years. Why do I believe them?

I had a dream that he got chucked out the ground and was dragged past the Northam to be taken out, was getting sh*t loads of abuse, struggled against the coppers hitting one of them in the process and ended up with a baton across the knees and pepper spray in the face. All the time with every single Saints fan shouting "you skate b*stard" at him.
