Window Cleaner Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 would you bet on the other two winning all of their four? Personally I don't see Huddersfield winning away at MK Dons nor Peterborough at Rochdale, provided of course that those 2 sides still have play-off ambitions when the matches take place.
Draino76 Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 How about this; Saints pretend to form a guard of honour as bummers run out then turn their backs. Or even the bird would do. Rethink; turning your back on bummers is probably unwise.
Andy Durman Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 A professional performance will see us win and thats what I expect
saint_disco123 Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 look the least we can do is rally on our boys when the time comes! at this moment we are 2nd and that is how it shall stay at the end of the season!
The9 Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 With Poyets comments and talk of Guards of Honour it looks like the Seagulls are believing their own press. I reckon we'll win and **** on their firework. That would be more akin to p155ing on the embers of their bonfire somewhere around December as they were loading their fireworks for the following year onto a big truck to set up somewhere else, to labour an analogy.
JustMike Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 feel a touch of the "alpine" coming on but I think we will lose this
The9 Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 look the least we can do is rally on our boys when the time comes! at this moment we are 2nd and that is how it shall stay at the end of the season! Recommending loudhailers and binoculars for Saturday then.
Appy Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 I'm looking forward to getting this game out of the way so this pathetic *****ing from both sides will stop.
thefunkygibbons Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 At this stage, I would settle for 1 point, but I want us to play for all 3
The9 Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 I'm looking forward to getting this game out of the way so this pathetic *****ing from both sides will stop. We'll hopefully have to play them next season as well... though based on the last time we were in the Championship together it won't be a "rivalry" for long.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 Not that I think Brighton will play a weaker team, but do the Football League have a similar rule as the Premier League regarding playing your strongest team?
Saint Fan CaM Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 We will lose this probably. Squad is starting to look a little depleted and the 1st team starting to look a little jaded. Bumchums 1 : Saints 1.
Deppo Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 We will lose this probably. Squad is starting to look a little depleted and the 1st team starting to look a little jaded. Bumchums 1 : Saints 1. I think we will lose 1-1 as well.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 I think we will lose 1-1 as well. LOL - don't be a dork...you know what I meant - we will probably lose, but my prediction is 1-1. Meh.
Deppo Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 LOL - don't be a dork...you know what I meant - we will probably lose, but my prediction is 1-1. Meh. So you predict a 1-1 loss? Me too.
scotty Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 I am hopeful that we can beat Brighton by a decent number of goals and close the gap between us, and keep the pressure on them. this blatant sarcasm is surely worth an infraction.
southamptonfclegend Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 how do you get from train station to ground? is there a train stop closer to the ground than Brighton station?
beardy Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 how do you get from train station to ground? is there a train stop closer to the ground than Brighton station? Preston Park. 10 minute walk.
Tamesaint Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 Give them their guard of honour before the game if that's what they need to make their chip on the shoulder feel better. Psychologically it will really annoy our players, wind them up and get them tearing into Brighton to prove a point. I agree. They are getting themselves so worked up on this subject that it will bea let down for them once it is over whilst it may well gee us up.
It's There Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 Relax...Saints will give a guard of honour...then proceed to show great determination and desire to win...and will do so by 3:2 - Saints fans will leave happy, Brighton fans will still be happy they've won the league...but the doubts will have been sown for next season! Llalana back too is my prediction, schn on bench
action man Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 wheres everyone drinking saturday,in town or nearer the ground?
benjii Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 Just checked the odds on WillHill and we are both 7/5 to win. Draw is 12/5. The old faithful 3-1 away win is 20/1. I fancy a couple of quid on that.
The9 Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 Saints will win 2-1. Believe Why would I want to believe we're going to concede a goal ?
Deppo Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 Why would I want to believe we're going to concede a goal ? Why should we believe anyway? Surely he couldn't possibly know the score already?
Mr Saints Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 Guard of honour? I didn't even know Brighton had a football club until this season.
corsacar saint Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 If we play as badly on saturday as we did in the first halves against Rochdale and Bristol Rovers we will lose by at least a couple of goals. I still think we are a far better footballing side than Brighton,but they know how to win ugly as they say,something we struggle to do on a regular basis. Lets hope we start playing from the first minute and give ourselves as good a chance as possible of getting something from the game.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 20 April, 2011 Posted 20 April, 2011 Why should we believe anyway? Surely he couldn't possibly know the score already? We do, because you said we do. And you will be held to account if you're wrong, mark my words.
70's Mike Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Lets go there bore them to death and sneak it 1 nil
hamster Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Poyet says that even if we win 10-0 it won't change the fact that they gave been the best team this season. Is he preparing for a heavy defeat? Re drinking we will be in that lovely bar on the beach by midday, just down the ramping the pier and walk towards your right. It is a lovely spot. It's called the artist quarter nowadays and has some lovely little outlets and good views of both piers.
hamster Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Are the authorities presenting the trophy on Saturday?
beardy Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Are the authorities presenting the trophy on Saturday? No. Huddersfield Town game.
scotty Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Lets go there bore them to death and sneak it 1 nil actually, thats a plan!
hamster Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Anyone know the local radio station down there please? I am only going to drop somempeople off at the ground, so will be listening to the match whilst pretending to listen to mrs h whilst hovering around the changing rooms in Primark.
dronskisaint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 We just cannot deliver when it matters in away games so in reality it is not in our hands at all. We must as always rely on the other two to cock-it up! One might but surely not both. Put it this way, if we lose on Saturday would you bet your house on winning the other four.... Check out our away record...it's comparable with our immediate competitors. Bit less hand wringing would be good....Fonte called it right when he said the others are looking at us as much as we're looking at them...and we are ahead with a game in hand. Would you swap?
The9 Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Why should we believe anyway? Surely he couldn't possibly know the score already? Maybe he's a Time Lord. In which case I want a lift back to 2004, as there are a few Saints-related things I'd like to tweak.
Deppo Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Maybe he's a Time Lord. In which case I want a lift back to 2004, as there are a few Saints-related things I'd like to tweak. If you could go back to 2004, what would you change?
The9 Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 If you could go back to 2004, what would you change? I'd have been more selective about who off Saints Forever I slept with. Hang on, how did this get on the Brighton build-up thread ?
del boy Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Poyet says that even if we win 10-0 it won't change the fact that they gave been the best team this season. thats why I said 11-0 would be good (I'd settle for a point)
rick1976.4.38 Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 And we should make the players give Brighton a guard of honour. They should all stand there, hang their heads in shame at the hard work we've made of this season, then go out there and beat the fckers. this,coys
hasper57saint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I can't make it but I have loaned my binoculars to an oppo! Saints to WIN as Brighton are due a pasting by a better team!
Matthew Le God Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 "Nigel Adkins says no guard of honour by Saints for Brighton." Good
hamster Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 thats why I said 11-0 would be good (I'd settle for a point) A point is nigh on a moot point atm as one huddersfiled would mean them leapfrogging us. In fact one or even two draws could prove disastrous if they get a corresponding win. Having said that I willmhappily enjoy a play off scenario just for the forum banter and wrist slashing. It's just a game and the more games the more there is to 'enjoy'. Having said all that wouldn't it be fantastic to really hammer them, I mean 'really' hammer them with a headline grabbing scoreline line six or seven nil?
georgeweahscousin Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 "Nigel Adkins says no guard of honour by Saints for Brighton." Good Bad. Disrespectful, and probably just given them all the motivation they need.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 "Nigel Adkins says no guard of honour by Saints for Brighton." Good This. Who cares FFS.
Tractor_Saint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Bad. Disrespectful, and probably just given them all the motivation they need. Would you honestly think we'd expect Brighton to do the guard of honour for us if the boot was on the other foot??
