Lighthouse Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 Think Posh will be fighting Pompey for that wooden spoon next season. More so if CMS gets a big offer from somewhere else. Good for Saints, but very harsh on the Udders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_jas Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 Kind of so glad I didn't bet on sport this weekend... Would have had webber to win F1, Torquay, huddersfield, reading for play-offs, barca for euro, cricket draw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 sorry for Huddersfield fans, their brilliant season has ended in the most depressing way. Unbelievable that their unbeaten run has delivered nothing. That said, I'm looking forward to taking maximum points off Peterborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_D Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 And so Huddersfield's unbeaten run comes to an end at the worst possible time for them. Some people say that the semi final of a cup is the worst possible match to lose... but it isn't. Losing a play off final... to get so close and then have to go through an entire season in the same league again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatlesaint Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 If I was a Huddersfield fan I would be bloody fuming. How the hell can you play one striker (and a crap one at that) up on his own against a team that everybody knows cannot defend ? You have to play 2 strikers against them, Clark has been very naieve here i think. Championship teams will tear this lot to shreds and without MS up front they could well be the whipping boys of the league. I feel sorry for the Huddersfield fans but oh boy Lee, you screwed that up good and proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 Hudds were absolutely terrible and got what they deserved. I thought they were lucky to get past Bournemouth. Still, a good result for Saints I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 I think I posted on here that Poro would win the play-offs and I'm gutted I've been proven right. Horrible little team who don't deserve promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint J 77 Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 God I hate Darren Ferguson, I hope they lose all their best players over the summer. I feel sorry for Huddersfield, but just goes to show we needed second place or that could have been us losing today. So glad we avoided this.

revolution saint Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 Feel sorry for Huddersfield, they should have gone up.

sidthesquid Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 This was my nightmare scenario for us. Thank F*** we kept it going. Such a great run & all for nothing.

david in sweden Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 completely undeserved promotion. Horrible kittle c of a manager too. Huddersfield were never going to win though, not after such a long unbeaten run. They really deserved promotion too, p'boro were way way off that quality. Their defence will get annihilated in the championship too. hopefully !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with all of the above, I am gutted for the Huddersfield fans, on a personal note I hate the whole play off system; the whole idea of having a league is to see who comes out top at the end of the season; WHY turn it into a knockout after the league has ended, totally unfair in my opinion and should be dumped ASAP, to any Huddersfield fan that reads this then you have my total sympathy, lets hope Peterborough come down, as you go up, automatically next season.

SuperSAINT Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 Gutted for Huddersfield. Would be very pleased to take CMS off their hands. As a side-note, Tomlin & Wesolowski are 2 of the fattest footballers I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 (edited) Hudds were absolutely terrible and got what they deserved. I thought they were lucky to get past Bournemouth. Still, a good result for Saints I think. Agree- they weren't that great during their long, unbeaten run either - just dogged and tremendously reslient. Should have fallen off the pace alot earlier. Speaks volumes that they generally only play with one CF - their first instinct is not to lose games and contain teams. Only needed a one-off game to expose their limitations, especially a team that scores goals for fun. As much as I think Fergy is a c**t, the better footballing side went up.

Hopkins Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 Annoyed my FA Cup, Champions League and Play Off finals accy came to an end...then realised I had a few quid on 3-0 to Peterborough and CMS any time scorer to cover it. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 That's why I'm glad we avoided the playoffs. Being one of the best teams over the course of the season counts for nothing. Huddersfield froze in the semi's last year and I have to say they froze for the majority of this game as well. Very little from them. From our point of view we have a very weak team following us up, a team that will be even weaker when Mackail-Smith goes. They will do well to finish mid-table next year.

Cabrone Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 Man alive, that's tough on Hudders.

Saints foreva Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 Phew, that could have been us. Feel sorry for Huddersfield, I'm sure they'll keep the majority of their squad and build on for next season.

You can't argue that the play offs are unfair - of course they are. However, Huddersfield wouldn't have complained last season if they'd got promoted and neither would any other side in the play offs. Everyone knows the score at the start of the season so it's no shock, and it does two things; it makes the league exciting right up until the final game and the play offs are undeniably gripping. The play offs whilst unfair are a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Jonny Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 Feel so gutted for Huddersfield, on the back of the season they've had, they should have gone up. Still, at least I can claim to support a far superior club at uni next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IFHP Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 Completely undeserved promotion. Horrible kittle C of a manager too. Huddersfield were never going to win though, not after such a long unbeaten run. They really deserved promotion too, p'boro were way way off that quality. Their defence will get annihilated in the championship too. Underserved why? Peterborough went up fair and square by gaining enough points to reach the play offs scoring over 100 goals. Then getting the right results in the play offs. Whether you agree with the play-offs or not they are here to stay (and have been here for 20 odd seasons). Huddersfield were unbeaten in 2011 which is bloody good going just a shame for them that they drew too many games, I think about 10 in total, in that run. Saints were a point behind Huddersfield when they began their unbeaten run and lost 3 times and drew 3. As the old saying goes it’s better to lose one and win one than draw two..

Kingsland Nick Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 I bet Huddersfield wish the play-offs had been in April. Four games in May, no wins - hardly promotion form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976_Child Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 That makes me laugh! They had 27 unbeaten run and could never get their noses in front of us and now they are stuck in league 1 !!! The arrogance of their fans thinking it was their god given right to succeed in L1. Well I guess they have to eat a whole load of humble yorkshire pie now. Well done Posh though.

Jimmy_D Posted 29 May, 2011 Share Posted 29 May, 2011 It took an absolutely incredible run for us to avoid that... And I am so incredibly thankful we managed it.
