SNSUN Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 I'm surprised nobody's started a "Play-Off Thread - who don't we want?" thread yet!?!
Window Cleaner Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Not at the moment no, but we'll need to not lose tomorrow for me to maintain that opinion with much confidence.
dune Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 I've been saying for weeks that Reading at home is a good game for us to have to play. If we can win these next two games we'll have done it.
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 11 April, 2012 Posted 11 April, 2012 He was exposed as a skate a while ago... Ha ha ha ha ha. I know him very well and you couldn't be more wrong. He's a decent lad. I've always enjoyed a good bit of banter with him. Ever since I've known him he's always looked at the negative side of things where as I always have a more optimistic outlook. His view is to look at the worst that could happen and anything above and beyond that is a major bonus. He bets against Saints quite a bit, saying that if they lose at least he gets something to cheer him up and if they win it's worth every penny. I can't imagine that he's made much over the last 2 seasons. lol. In fairness to the lad he predicted Saints would make the FA Cup final after the 4-0 win over Spurs. He also correctly predicted relegation from the premier league before the season had even started and won a substantial amount of money. His view is to look at the worst that could happen and anything above and beyond that is a major bonus.
wheels Posted 12 April, 2012 Posted 12 April, 2012 The bookies obviously don't! http://sports.williamhill.com/bet/en-gb/betting/e/2111452/English-Championship---Promotion.html
Pilchards Posted 12 April, 2012 Posted 12 April, 2012 I might put 50p on Leicester to go through on the playoffs. Blimey 14/1, could buy a football club down the road with the winnings!!
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 12 April, 2012 Posted 12 April, 2012 I think we will go up But I also I think, unless we buy serious players we will come straight back down I can't see allot of our players competing with a lot of the class in The premiership. Iny opinion would need at least 3 big names all the way through the spine on the team We have a good team when our best team is out but if some of our better players got injured we would be ****ed

Inside the top 6 or 7, probably. But I reckon with a bit of luck this squad with a couple of reinforcements could get top 12.
markr27 Posted 12 April, 2012 Posted 12 April, 2012 I asked my Hammer work colleague on Tuesday whether he thought Birmingham had a chance of catching West Ham and take 3rd place. "No chance" he said, but he still harbours hopes, albeit slimming ones, that the Hammers will make up the same points difference over Saints/Reading...
Amazing Hangover Posted 12 April, 2012 Posted 12 April, 2012 Swansea? Norwich?? I think we will go up But I also I think, unless we buy serious players we will come straight back down I can't see allot of our players competing with a lot of the class in The premiership.

Pilchards Posted 12 April, 2012 Posted 12 April, 2012 I believe you need to build on the engine of the team. Davis Jos Fonte Fox Lallana Cork Lambert Spider These are starters so I would say Clyne - right back Ambrose - Ball winner nippy winger no 1 nippy winger no 2 and Hooper from Celtic. and a brick house Centre Back. 6 player in like Swansea and Norwich did.
MerceSaint28 Posted 12 April, 2012 Posted 12 April, 2012 Pilchards....Ambrose is no ball winner im afraid...he is an attacking midfielder Clyne would be an excellent signing...as would Zaha from Palace...Phillips from Blackpool...Adamoah as a back up on the left for Lallana...Butterfield on a free...Curtis Davies from Brum and then Hooper from Celtic and Rodrigues from Burnely
shurlock Posted 12 April, 2012 Posted 12 April, 2012 Vicente is sheer class - would be a great acquisition. Too good to be at Albion.

Yeah, got a bit of potential to work with, but hardly the world beaters they're often made out to be.
farawaysaint Posted 12 April, 2012 Posted 12 April, 2012 Vicente is sheer class - would be a great acquisition. Too good to be at Albion. Very true but only there because of Poyet, what could we offer instead?
shurlock Posted 12 April, 2012 Posted 12 April, 2012 Very true but only there because of Poyet, what could we offer instead? You really don't think we're going up?!
trousers Posted 20 April, 2012 Posted 20 April, 2012 I felt the need to bump a pessimistic thread as all the threads that assume we're already done and dusted are making me unduly nervous! Let's have a bit more negativity to balance out the premature euphoria! We can still throw this away...! (ah, that's better)
Cestrian Saint Posted 20 April, 2012 Posted 20 April, 2012 I felt the need to bump a pessimistic thread as all the threads that assume we're already done and dusted are making me unduly nervous! Let's have a bit more negativity to balance out the premature euphoria! We can still throw this away...! (ah, that's better) Negativity, great. ;-) I think we'll lose at 'Boro & get a point against Cov. It'll all go down to GD on the last day. Is that negative enough for you?

Is that negative enough for you? Yes! Thanks. I'm starting to feel like a proper Saints fan again. The confidence levels on here this week are doing my head in! ;-)
Cestrian Saint Posted 20 April, 2012 Posted 20 April, 2012 Just wait until 7.30pm tomorrow night. This place will be a hive of negativity once more.
