Saint J 77 Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Well technically we need another point to go up. I hope our squad goes out to beat Walsall comfortably so we go up in style not just scrapping it on goal difference. I wouldn't put it past Huddersfield to win by a very large margin against Brenford at home. I hope the team Adkins puts out on Saturday go out to win it in style!
S-Clarke Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Cracking effort by them, shows how good our form has been that we've finished above a team unbeaten in 25 games.
Isla Wight Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Just want to wish Huddersfield best wishes for the play offs - they truly deserve promotion following the tremendous effort they have put in. Just hope that the disappointment of not getting automatic promotion doesn't affect them.
Jimmy_D Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Unbelieveable that they won't get autos after their run, and even more unbelieveable that with all the problems we had at the start of the season, with two other teams on 86 or above points, we've still managed to get an auto spot. It's been an incredible battle, one I'll remember for a long long time to come. Good luck to them in the playoffs, no other team deserves to go up, but I'm rooting for Bournemouth, I love local matches.
Graffito Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 I suppose Huddersfield would prefer to avoid the mavericks, Peterborough but Huddersfield are bang in form, have shown they are mentally tough and I think they'll do it.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Hudders team and sporting fans have my full respect. Best wishes for the playoff and i hope they continue their fantastic unbeaten run since December at St Mary's until they get the Promotion it deserves What a chase! They were like a dog with a bone! glad we had the 2 games in hand during this titanic battle it is what told in the end!
RedArmy Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Couldn't give a shi1te about Huddersfailed, hope B'mouth go up.
WokingSaint Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 It's been a great battle that's for sure! I think Huddersfields relentless run has kept saints up to it to the last. Well done us but they deserve promotion as well and hope they get it. It's a crazy system that a team that finishes 6th could get the promotion before a team that is virtually joint second!
sfcmick Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Huddersfield deserve to get promoted and i really hope they do, as for Bompey, sod them , let them rot in Div 1.
Fan The Flames Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 I think for Huddersfield to not get anything after the shift they have put in would be a shame. I would like to see Bournemouth go up however I think Huddersfield deserve it.
SimonC Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 As a Bompey fan - The Hudd situation is a bit like the Pompey one when they finished way ahead of the other teams but didn't go up in the play offs..(sure you lot were gutted about that eh?). Can't remember when it was though, early 90's at some point. Thanks for some of the comments on here wanting us to go up - fair enough to want Hudd to go up on terms of performances. Shame about some of the anti AFCB comments, but unfortunately I have been fighting a bit of a losing battle trying to convince some Saints that we are not all rabid 'scummer bashers' Oh and well done today. Deserved promotion
dune Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Huddersfield deserve promotion, but I hope Bournemouth go up.
corky morris Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Fair play to Udders. They played us off the park for the first 45 mins at their place & were decent at SMS. They too have bought a number of players so should have been up there, but their recent run deserves more than 3rd place at the expense of anyone else but Saints. Good Luck in the play-offs!
Professor Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Was very pleased that Huddersfield beat Brighton on Saturday, when many fans were hoping for a Brighton win. Huddersfield gave us the chance to get very close to Brighton on points and to move our goal difference above Brighton's. I've been very disappointed in the attitude of Brighton and their fans towards Southampton but I put it down to small club mentality and a severe chip on the shoulder. Its good that we can now thrash them again next season and I hope Huddersfield are there to do the same. As for Bournemouth getting to the NpC.....No, I don't think so......
david in sweden Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 We have been forced to produce a fantastic run of form just to see off a brilliant challenge from Huddersfield. Any other year they would have gone up automatically. I urge you all to post a few words of respect and wish them well in the playoffs. Many of their fans have been viewing this forum and there has been a lot of mutual respect. COYRs Champioship here we come. I agree totally, they have given us a good run for the money but TBH I hope that don't get promoted - if only because there will be enough top opposition in CCC - without having one more like them. But well done anyway, they are the only club who lasted the pace to the end.
david in sweden Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 mutual respect for sure but I want Bournemouth to join us, not just for 6 points but with the price of petrol nowadays it makes more sense. ...because they won't be able to stay the pace in CCC
david in sweden Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 I am hoping that Huddersfield win the play offs, beating Posh in the final. They deserve to go up after their tremendous season. .putting it that way, I'd agree if it only meant condemning Ferguson JNR. to L1 for another season.
aintforever Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Well done Huddersfield, they must be gutted to miss out after playing so well. It would be great to have Bournemouth in the Championship though.
BigShadow Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Peterborough have the ***t manager - Franchise shouldn't exist - Bournemouth have just been really annoying this year - so hope Huddersfield can see their unbeaten run through the next four games.
stardustonmyfeet Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 I would be hoping for B'mouth to go up but Huddersfield have been immense this year so I can't help feeling they deserve it more. Good luck to both teams, whatever division they end up in next season.
hutch Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 They nicked our play-off spot last year, but they will come up with us this year.
krissyboy31 Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 They definitely deserve to go up. If there is any justice they'll continue their unbeaten run for another 3 games.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 I feel for them - they pushed us hard all the way and deserve nothing but respect. I hope they keep hold of their manager because he seems to one of the best young managers around.
Thedelldays Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 89 points and no auto promotion...mental then us...92 points and no title..
sadoldgit Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Hats of to them. They must be choked to have done so well but still have to go through the play off lottery. They probably did us a favour by pushing us so hard. Hope they go up.
corsacar saint Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Good luck to Huddersfield in the play offs,they certainly deserve to win them for the way they have played this season.
OVER THE HILL Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Despite a few *****s on their forum, by and large they've been very gracious in defeat of second spot. They've really given it their all to try and overtake us, but we wouldn't be denied. Great form from both teams, and it's really lit up League One this season. Both teams better than Brighton IMO. (;-)) Agree with this,fantastic effort by Huddersfield and top class fans.
Stoozer Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 I used to like Bournemouth but this season has changed all that so I don't give a toss about them anymore. Good luck Huddersfield!
Stud mark of doom Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 They nicked our play-off spot last year, but they will come up with us this year. It was very similar last year, but with them in the box seat of 6th and us being very unlucky that a great run didn't produce the goods. Wouldn'y surprise me if both teams are challenging for promotion from the Championship next season.
VectisSaint Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 They definitely deserve to go up. If there is any justice they'll continue their unbeaten run for another 3 games. If there is any justice they will extend their unbeaten run by 4 games, not 3.
tobes8 Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 the run they have been on has been unbelievable. hope they get through via the play offs..
SimonC Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 I used to like Bournemouth but this season has changed all that so I don't give a toss about them anymore. Good luck Huddersfield! This is the problem with all the crap that some fans of both of us have been spouting on forums this year - ALL of us are spiteful and have a small club mentality, ALL Saints fans are deluded and arrogant. Makes fans hate clubs for the sake of some keyboard warriors - had a good crack with all the Saints fans I have met this year - from at Waterloo on the first day of the season to the ones at the league match at St.Mary's.
Dimond Geezer Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 I hope 'Udders go up. The whole play-off thing is wrong, the team finishing third are there on merit and it would be a travestry if the 6th place (whoever they happen to be) get promotion. Apart from that I care very little for Bournemouth after all the nonsence coming from their direction this season.
OVER THE HILL Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Bournemouth have had a fantastic season under very difficult conditions but Huddersfield are a much better team so deserve promotion.
saintdale Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 I really can't believe people actually want Bournemouth to go up ahead of Huddersfield, seriously.... Bournemouth fans have been nothing but a bunch of ****s towards us, they're only in the playoffs because Orient and Rochdale imploded and ****ed up. From a football point of view and if for no other reason than the sheer guts and determination they've showed I hope Huddersfield storm the playoffs and stuff the cherries... Their fans are a decent bunch too... Come on Huddersfield... This
Solent2191 Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Do you really think huddersh*t would care about us.... get back down your dirty northern mine, who cares who goes up through the playoffs. The saints are going up. Weirdos.
captainchris Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Well technically we need another point to go up. I hope our squad goes out to beat Walsall comfortably so we go up in style not just scrapping it on goal difference. I wouldn't put it past Huddersfield to win by a very large margin against Brenford at home. I hope the team Adkins puts out on Saturday go out to win it in style! Who cares about ' technically' when it's irrelevant ! In reality and 'practically' we are definately up so why harp on about 'technically' ?????????????????? It's pointless!!!!!
Under Weststand Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 They have been on such an incredible run they must wonder what they have to do to get promoted. Just shows how well we've done to beat them. Its been like to heavy weight sluggers going toe to toe for 12 rounds & we've had to produce the killer blow in the last round. I just hope & pray that they can keep the run going for another 4-games. If ever a team deserves it it Huddersfield do! So just keep going as you won't need luck playing the way you are. Would love to see you trounce Posh & the purple nosed emperor's offspring at Old Trafford Go you Terriers.
sfc4prem Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 I personally, for selfish reasons as the only club I care about is Saints, hope they stay down, as then we can try and pinch Pilkington from them. Great effort from them though, and they fully deserve to go up with their great unbeaten run in 2011. Good luck to the terriers.
thefunkygibbons Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Incredible run of games, they won several that I thought they would drop so as to ease the pressure on us
musesaint Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Without wishing to appear harsh I don't give a flying FC*uk about Huddersfield. I still haven't forgiven them for p**issing on our parade last season I doubt they would give a shi*te about us
silversaint Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Totally agree with OP. Huddersfield have been amazing in the second half of the season & decent before then. Really hope they join us in the championship next season. Good fans, decent manager & play good football, just not as good as Saints over the season. See you in the championship terriers.
Badger Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Huddersfield having a 24 match unbeaten run really puts the magnitude of Adkins achievement in context for me. From a local viewpoint, yes I'd like Bournemouth up, but Huddersfield deserve promotion for their form this season, and I wish them all the best for the play offs.
Spudders Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Crikey, they really do seem a decent bunch of fans having read this thread. Fair play to them, they deserve to go up based on their performance! http://downatthemac.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=56527
Deppo Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Crikey, they really do seem a decent bunch of fans having read this thread. Fair play to them, they deserve to go up based on their performance! http://downatthemac.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=56527 Crumbs! I like their Do It For Pilks (DIFP) thing, it's like our Win It For Markus (WIFM) thing, although Pilkington has only broken his leg or something.
STEVEADAMS Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Bst of luck to Huddersfield. I am glad we are not where they are.
Deppo Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Bst of luck to Huddersfield. I am glad we are not where they are. West Yorkshire?
Spudders Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 West Yorkshire? No the Huddersfield forum. He's saying he's glad we are on this forum with you deppo
brmbrm Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 Well they clearly deserve promotion on their great form this season, especially the last half dozen matches: I might prefer B'mouth to go up, but Hudderesfied have earned it. Best of luck.
Saintandy666 Posted 2 May, 2011 Posted 2 May, 2011 I want Bournemouth to go up so there would be 4 south coast teams in the championship next year. But I guess Huddersfield deserve it really. It is more than unfair that they might not get promoted when they along with us and Brighton are clearly better than all the other teams in the league.
