Turkish Posted 19 February, 2012 Share Posted 19 February, 2012 Assuming we don't go up this season of course which given our resurgence in form is looking quite hopeful. For me I'd hate to see Forest go. A club as close to Saints as there is. Traditionally a good footballing side with a great manager who enabled them to punch weight above their weight in the late 70s And early 80s. I'd l love to see Forest up there competing with us for promotion not struggling, a great club. I actually don't want Pomoey to go down either, I want them to suffer and struggle but i want them to stay up and hopefully give us the chance to go down there and iron them out easily next season, if we don't go up of course. So by default for me it Cov, Donny and Bristol City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 19 February, 2012 Share Posted 19 February, 2012 (edited) Completely concur about Bristol City. Hateful bunch of morons Also agree about Forest too. Although they broke my heart in 1979, I've always respected their punching well above their weight in the 70s and 80s under the greatest manager England never had. Skates (though prefer them liquidated), Bristol City, Derby and Peterborough as reserve in case the blue cr*p are liquidated.

RobM Posted 19 February, 2012 Share Posted 19 February, 2012 I share that sympathy for Coventry, that could have so easily have been us if the deal went ahead. I'd like to see them survive and get back on foot, they can easily be a solid NPC club. For me, it's Pompey, Donny and Forest. Although I'd happily swap Forest for Millwall to put them back in their box, but I think they have enough about them to stay up, just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 19 February, 2012 Share Posted 19 February, 2012 No, We are Southampton, we do not need to be defined by our rivals, we simply are. Completely agree. Nothing quite so ridiculous as being in the away end of a Northern ground and hearing us sing anti-Pompey songs. Time to forge new rivalries with the sides we'll be playing next year. I remain confident that we will be promoted this year, so I'm only really worried about the teams that'll come up with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 19 February, 2012 Share Posted 19 February, 2012 Like someone else said Coventry are running along similar lines to us a few seasons ago, so I have some sympathy for their current plight (the one thing Rupert/Wilde/Crouch jointly agreed on was telling SISU to 'f. off'). So: Skates - no further qualification needed Forest - ex-skate as manager , plus some vile plebs amongst their fans spitting after the match down here destroyed any sympathy for the c^nts . Sorry I don't accept the 'nostalgia' for their 70's team,total football for a season and they lived on that thereafter. Season after season , Clough & Taylor brought them to the Dell to shut up shop and hiy us on the counter attack. (made 4-1 in 1980 all the more sweeter). Last place a difficult one: Bristol City - ex-skate GK, otherwise I'm indifferent to them. Milwall - vile club Doncaster - Dean Saunders ...enough said.

So by default for me it Cov, Donny and Bristol City. well I know the members of your fan club is a bit thin on the ground Turkish, here I am agreeing with you AGAIN. I don't want Pom*ey to go down out of spite, but on results, although somehow I don't think the FA has finished with them by canning them with only - 10 points either. IF ..they survive, let them struggle at the bottom next season, and see if they are worth their spot on results alone. Personally, I doubt it. I've never liked /disliked Coventry or Donnie, but they seemed to have reached the bottom of the barrel and the likes of Charlton and one (or both) of the Sheffields would grace the Championship better next season. so my third team is between; Forest (who I have a soft spot for - but TEN home defeats already doesn't auger well for them) and Millwall who are beginning to implode badly, but my outside tip for the drop is... PETERBOROUGH. The only thing POSH about them is their "nickname ". There is an arrogance about the Peterboro' manager that (perhaps) his famous father maybe entitled to express, but not the manager of such a poor side. Last seasons totally undeserved promotion was a one season wonder put down to one person - Machail Smith - and the abysmal showing of Huddersfield in the play-off final, after a brilliant season. What ever possessed the Hudd's Board to sack Lee Clark...is beyond me! He was a good manager of a VG team.. that just hasn't peaked yet . So for me . .it's Coventry, Donnie and Peterboro ! Mind you ...If we are in the Premiership by then, I couldn't care less ! Honestly speaking I'd be more concerned at WHO comes down from the Prem. There are a few sides who survive year after year and getting rid of a Fulham, or a WBA would leave a breathing space at the bottom end, next season in case we don't finish top 5. ( joke everyone ..joke!) Not totally sure, but I don't think that ALL three promoted sides have all survived more than one Prem. season...so far (?) Usually one ..and occasionally two... come straight back down rather quickly. This season it could be QPR - no great loss to the Prem.

Crazy Diamond Posted 19 February, 2012 Share Posted 19 February, 2012 I reckon Brizzle will go down. Some seasons you see a club that for a while looked pretty safe then on the last day fall into the drop zone and go down, I reckon we might see them being victim to that. Wouldn't mind either, arrogant club, seem to think they deserve to be a lot higher in the league and act like big time Charlies. Send them down! Skates, Brizzle and Donnie for me please.

SuperMikey Posted 19 February, 2012 Share Posted 19 February, 2012 I think Coventry, Doncaster and the Skates will go down. I want the Skates to stay in business, but I think League One is a fresh start for any relegated team. If we'd stayed in the Championship after our administration I don't think we would've had such a quick ascent to where we are now. I want to see them straighten themselves out in League One and eventually make their way back up to the Championship with a solid foundation. Despite the hatred that I hold for the club, I want to see them be competitive. Maybe even with a fans takeover... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pap Posted 19 February, 2012 Share Posted 19 February, 2012 I've been quite clear in the OP that assuming we don't go up and with our current upturn in form that promotion now looks quite hopeful. Unquestionably, but how many Saints fans want to assume we don't go up this year? Speculating on the consequences of failure is all well and good, but given the start that the team has made, at this point, I will be disappointed if we do not achieve promotion. Most fans would have taken a top-half consolidation finish at the start of the season. The team has raised expectation through the performances, results and league position. I think most fans would be disappointed if we failed to achieve promotion. So while it is a question that is worth asking, most organisations plan for success. Your hypothetical starting position, that Saints don't win promotion, is a pretty depressing prospect, and I'm confident that the entire question of who we don't want to face in the Championship will be moot by May.

S-Clarke Posted 19 February, 2012 Share Posted 19 February, 2012 Coventry are gone, I haven't seen anything from them at any stage this season which suggest they'll stay up. So they're one. The skates will probably escape and get away with it, as the league allows them to strengthen their already expensive squad. Would expect Donny and possibly Bristiol City to fall.
