Willo Posted 27 March, 2012 Share Posted 27 March, 2012 Consider the scenario...we are guaranteed promotion, but a win would gurantee the title. would you want to lose to help keep coventry up at the expense of pompey? I supposd most would say 'yes'...and would make up for the result between pompey and west brom all those years ago... But there may be some (me included) who have never seen us win a meaningful trophy, and i would love to win this division and know we are the best team in this division...

S-Clarke Posted 27 March, 2012 Share Posted 27 March, 2012 Nope, I would never want to go into any game hoping for a defeat. Silly attitude to take. As long as we get promoted I couldn't give 2 ****s about what happens to them, as we all know that they're destined for years below us anyway.

aintforever Posted 27 March, 2012 Share Posted 27 March, 2012 I would only want to lose if the game meant nothing. If we had already won the league it's a no brainer. If we clinch the title at Middlesboro and a Coventry win would send pompey down I would expect the whole SFC squad to be out on a week long ****-up.

John Boy Saint Posted 27 March, 2012 Share Posted 27 March, 2012 Little Warning QPR had it in the bag for the last game last season the bunting was out and they went and lost the last game! Look at the precarious position they are in now just because they let their guard down in their final game of the Championship. You never see the top teams taking pity on their opposition they just go out to get the job done, Alex Ferguson had no idea that he had just relegated his mate Brian Kidd after Man U had done Blackburn until someone told him in the post match TV interview, he sent his players out to win again.

Red Posted 27 March, 2012 Share Posted 27 March, 2012 Even if we've secured the title I would never want us to lose. PFC are finished regardless. I'd like to see them relegated, but I think they'll stay up anyway. Just means they'll be even more bitter about the next points deduction to relegate them, or liquidation.

Noodles34 Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 Championship Trophy, Jeez, what is that all about? Really something to tell your kids about? The day we won the second division. It does not matter how we go up, as long as we do, i mean i would much rather go up via the play offs if we are guaranteed to win them, much beter ending to the season. So, yeah, i would take a loss, finish 2nd and laugh at that lot down the road, just like they did back in 05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHITEE1987 Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 Go for the win 100%. F**K Pompey! I always thought people went to the football to cheer their team on to a win not tactically loose to send local rivals down another division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintBobby Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 Have to play to win whatever the league position. Even more so if we need points to win the championship (this is probably out best chance of a serious piece of silverware for the rest of our liftetimes. If you don't think it's "meaningful", I'd love to know what meaningful trophies you think we might win in future!) We're a decent, sporting club unlike the twisted, cheating phew.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 I've never wanted my team to lose any game the past 40 years, and I'm not going to start now. Players aren't going to throw it, they dont have a hatred of rivals like supporters do. Any poor performance will be because the jobs done, and they've taken their eye off the ball, nothing else. Them sending us down was a myth anyway, we lost, had we won we would have stayed up. Dennis Law's back heel didn't send Utd down either, while we're on the subject.

Professor Posted 28 March, 2012 Share Posted 28 March, 2012 I just don't understand why anyone would be so desperate to see Portsmouth relegated. Our rival Hampshire club they are but the emphasis should be on rivalry, not adolescent hatred. Being back in the Prem will mean Saints have regained their place as Hampshire's Number One club. Whether Pompy are in the second tier or the third really doesn't matter, and for those of us who follow County Cricket, Saints and Pompy fans are on the same side!
