Nadia Sllim Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 After those cheating Skates cheered on West Brom in 2005 and without a doubt letting them win, would be nice to help in a bit of Karma. Just a thought?
Window Cleaner Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 We'll need all the points we can get so whatever the situation is between Coventry and Pompey we'll need to beat them.
Saintjersey Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 This would be the ideal scenario for me, as long as we are guaranteed promotion before the game.
Hatch Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 if the result doesn't matter to us, re-register Le Tiss or Benali as players, bring them on as last minute sub to dribble to length of the pitch and then smash one into our own net for an own goal and a 1-0 defeat to send the fish fiddlers down.
SO16_Saint Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 I really don't subscribe to the theory that the PFC players let West Brom win. Pompey fans maybe, but not players.
Nadia Sllim Posted 22 February, 2012 Author Posted 22 February, 2012 I really don't subscribe to the theory that the PFC players let West Brom win. Pompey fans maybe, but not players. The club has been corrupt for decades, now their deeds are bearing fruitation, any part Saints can play in making it more embarrassing/tragic for them I would really love it!
mesaint Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 As long as we are guaranteed promotion already, HELL YEAH. If not, i'll take the points to get promotion cos we'll be in a league above them again. That's if they are still in existance!
Colinjb Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Take the scenario that we are already up by the last game and if Coventry win the Skates will definitely go down. Could we imagine that any home fans would actively encourage and cheer a Coventry goal?

stevegrant Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Take the scenario that we are already up by the last game and if Coventry win the Skates will definitely go down. Could we imagine that any home fans would actively encourage and cheer a Coventry goal? Yes, without a doubt. For what it's worth, even if Pompey had beaten West Brom in 2005, we'd have gone down anyway, so their claims that they "sent us down" are inaccurate.
KK the 2nd Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Even more of a dilemma to my mind would be ... If Saints win = Go up as Champions, Coventry go down, Pompey stay up A draw or loss = Go up as second, Pompey go down, Coventry stay up What would you go for?
SNSUN Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 I think even if we played the youth, with the intention of drawing against Coventry, we'd still win, because when I've seen Coventry play they've been truly awful. I think though that whatever happens, we'll need all three points on that last day of the season, and I think Pompey will be down before that. Their ten point deduction will have been a massive boost to those clubs scrambling around at the bottom.
Appy Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Even more of a dilemma to my mind would be ... If Saints win = Go up as Champions, Coventry go down, Pompey stay up A draw or loss = Go up as second, Pompey go down, Coventry stay up What would you go for? Win, Champions.
The9 Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Even more of a dilemma to my mind would be ... If Saints win = Go up as Champions, Coventry go down, Pompey stay up A draw or loss = Go up as second, Pompey go down, Coventry stay up What would you go for? Honestly I think I'd want us to be Champions, second is ok but last year's "having to listen to Brighton fans go on and on" experience has made me want us to win it more - whatever happens to them is a bonus, but winning a trophy would be in the record books forever. The Skates would already be a league below us then anyway, just like from 1989-2003, so 2 divisions wouldn't really matter, and there's always the possibility of watching them suffer in 2012/13 when forced (finally) to do what we did in 2009 and probably with a further points deduction.
stevegrant Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 I think even if we played the youth, with the intention of drawing against Coventry, we'd still win, because when I've seen Coventry play they've been truly awful. Their home record is what will keep them up, if anything, I reckon. Their remaining fixtures at the Ricoh look pretty kind, to say the least, while away from home they've managed a whole 3 points so far. If they're going to stay up, they'll have done the business before the trip to St Mary's.
This Charming Man Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 If promotion was secured by the time we played Cov, I'd think it would be hilarious if we were to draw/lose to them, thus sending the Skates down. Would top off a perfect season.
bender Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Surely the best scenario will be Coventry just need to equal what Pompey do. Pompey lose anyway so Cov stay up having just been beaten by us to make us champs. We all celebrate together. Bit like Walsall last year.
IFHP Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 I really don't subscribe to the theory that the PFC players let West Brom win. Pompey fans maybe, but not players. It didnt matter, IF Saints had beaten Manchester United the we would have stayed up.
doddisalegend Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Surely the best scenario will be Coventry just need to equal what Pompey do. Pompey lose anyway so Cov stay up having just been beaten by us to make us champs. We all celebrate together. Bit like Walsall last year. Bit wierd that day. Not often you go to a football match were both sets of supporters are going nuts with happiness at the end.....
yorkie Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 This is a no brainer - we will need to win to guarantee any sight of the automatic places by then...and so what if Pompey stay up? Whilst we will all be wishing them well in April at SMS (if we allow them any tickets) I'm sure the last thing on their minds will be relegation! The bubble will burst in Britannia Road for sure after we hit them for six!
saint-crinny Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Assuming we are already up... - I'd celebrate a Saints goal/win in the normal fashion - I'd probably enjoy a Coventry goal/win that sent Pompey down too Win, win for me
The Godfather Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 It could be interesting last day as the skates are away to Forest.
Saints foreva Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 If our season is settled (hopefully with a promotion sealed and not preparing for play off disappointment) and they're still in relegation trouble then I would happily see us drop points vs Coventry to send them down. They still chant about 2005, even though they never sent us down. Personally think Skates will stay up with ease though.
John Boy Saint Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 If our business is all done and dusted, it would be funny to see a Sky Blue stadium as the vast majority would enjoy seeing our fishy friends going down to heap even more grief on them.
alpine_saint Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 After those cheating Skates cheered on West Brom in 2005 and without a doubt letting them win, would be nice to help in a bit of Karma. Just a thought? Would be happy to oblige, so long as we dont need those 2/3 points to fulfill our own auto promotion or playoff targets
Crazy Diamond Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 As much as I don't like the blue few, I couldn't give a toss what happens to them. Win every game, that's got to be our aim.
kpturner Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 As much as I don't like the blue few, I couldn't give a toss what happens to them. Win every game, that's got to be our aim.Ditto - if we lose to Coventry then I will be ******ed right off, regardless of whether or not it means Pompey are relegated. Besides, we will defo need a result in the last match.
paulwantsapint Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Ideal result for me is we win our game skates draw with forest sending both down If we are champions before we kick off could we register MLT & Benali to play last 5 mins what a noise it would make as Fran passes for MLT to hit a trademark 25 yarder
Dark Munster Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Yes, without a doubt. For what it's worth, even if Pompey had beaten West Brom in 2005, we'd have gone down anyway, so their claims that they "sent us down" are inaccurate. Not only that, but we beat them twice earlier in the season (cup and league), so we had more success against them than most other teams that season. Even more of a dilemma to my mind would be ... If Saints win = Go up as Champions, Coventry go down, Pompey stay up A draw or loss = Go up as second, Pompey go down, Coventry stay up What would you go for? This.
Window Cleaner Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 we shouldn't even be giving any validity to this argument,we'll need to win come what may.
SaintNeil90 Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 (edited) I really don't subscribe to the theory that the PFC players let West Brom win. Pompey fans maybe, but not players. I wouldn't be so sure. I have a West Brom season ticket holder in my office. They said Pompey literally rolled over for them, it was obvious apparently. For one of their goals the Pompey centre backs ran in opposite directions for the WBA player to run through the middle and score. See how lethargic they are here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU6h5JP9Kjc Edited 22 February, 2012 by SaintNeil90
saintmatt Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 Win (when we don't need to) to save the skates. Emphasise that we're a class above them in every department.
stardustonmyfeet Posted 22 February, 2012 Posted 22 February, 2012 If we beat Cov to let the skates stay up, we could say that we saved them. Looking at how Bournemouth view us, I think that would wind them up (pardon the pun) even more
Saints Fan Dan Posted 23 February, 2012 Posted 23 February, 2012 Even more of a dilemma to my mind would be ... If Saints win = Go up as Champions, Coventry go down, Pompey stay up A draw or loss = Go up as second, Pompey go down, Coventry stay up What would you go for? It's hardly a dilemma, Champions all the way. I want to see us lift that Championship trophy and finish 1st and win a division. Would you really sacrifice that in order to relegate a team who would be irrelevant to us the following season?

Simples - If we can go up auto & send our fishy friends down at the same time, I will do a man wee in my pants.
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 23 February, 2012 Posted 23 February, 2012 I fear staying up will be the least of Poopey's problems by the end of the season
kpturner Posted 23 February, 2012 Posted 23 February, 2012 SimplesSpeaking like one of those f**king meerkats is an infraction.
This Charming Man Posted 23 February, 2012 Posted 23 February, 2012 we shouldn't even be giving any validity to this argument,we'll need to win come what may. What a ridiculous thing to say. How could you possibly know that?
smackalec Posted 23 February, 2012 Posted 23 February, 2012 I have made a decision to help things along. A lot of Ifs but here goes. If we are promoted by the last day and If Coventry winning means the skates going down. If we lose I promise to get the match day squads faces tattooed across my back.
Saint_clark Posted 23 February, 2012 Posted 23 February, 2012 I have made a decision to help things along. A lot of Ifs but here goes. If we are promoted by the last day and If Coventry winning means the skates going down. If we lose I promise to get the match day squads faces tattooed across my back. There's certainly enough room.
simo Posted 23 February, 2012 Posted 23 February, 2012 Win every game always! We're better than that just think of the moral high ground we would gain!
slickmick Posted 23 February, 2012 Posted 23 February, 2012 Firstly, we thump them 5 or 6 nil at St Marys. Then we enter the game against Coventry already crowned as champions. Pompey and Coventy are locked on the same points and same goal difference (due to saints thrashing them). Both Pompey and Coventry are losing 2 v 0, but with minutes left on the clock Coventry pull one back to send Pompey down. Imagine the atmosphere at St Marys after that....sha la la la la. Who can better that ?

latter day saint Posted 23 February, 2012 Posted 23 February, 2012 As above but we all run on the pitch and Lucy Pinder sucks us all off. Thats better than yours. only if your 1st in line
(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 23 February, 2012 Posted 23 February, 2012 As much as I don't like the blue few, I couldn't give a toss what happens to them. Win every game, that's got to be our aim. This! Absolutely this.
St Chalet Posted 23 February, 2012 Posted 23 February, 2012 Knowing the FL's form against us we'll be guarenteed promotion, let Cov sneak a point, FL charge us with not trying, bring back Mahwhinney especially for us, invent a new penalty to dock us enough points to drop below playoffs. We owe it to all the teams in the league to try and win every game. That's the morals and values that separates us from the **** down the road.
Kingsland Nick Posted 23 February, 2012 Posted 23 February, 2012 If we get promoted, this could be our last good chance to get a big win for a while. I would settle for another 8-2.
