InvictaSaint Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 ....in the last 10 seasons, the team which is top of the Championship going into the Easter weekend (i.e. before Good Friday) - Saints this season - has not failed to be promoted automatically. And the bookies have us as nailed on too. Am as gutted as the next fan about the ending to today's game, but I still believe. Onwards and upwards!
badgerx16 Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 Don't you realise, unless we've won 5-0 you aren't allowed to open a 'positive' post-match thread ?
Bananaman Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 just watched highlight.. they really were 2 outrageous goals, another day would have been 2-0 easy. win on Monday, onwards and upwards

Dr Who? Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 We will win on Monday and Wet Ham will draw, and Reading will lose on Tuesday. We will be back to 6 points clear of 3rd and 3 points clear of 2nd. We will then win at home to reading. This will put us 6 clear of reading and 9 clear of west ham with 3 games left. West Ham will be at home to Brighton next Sat. It is ours to screw up!
Saint Without a Halo Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 Our one point today has secured at least a play off place!

I hope Alpine doesn't read that ! That run of results would ruin his week.
Noodles34 Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 Still very much in our own hands. judging by the last two games, thats what worries me.
badgerx16 Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 judging by the last two games, thats what worries me. Judge by the previous ten then.
Noodles34 Posted 7 April, 2012 Posted 7 April, 2012 Judge by the previous ten then. fair enough, hope you are right
modern matron Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 just watched highlight.. they really were 2 outrageous goals, another day would have been 2-0 easy. win on Monday, onwards and upwards Agree with you that we were very unlucky with both goals and their keeper played a blinder too! Just a little worried that we thought we were promoted before we kicked off against Blackpool, and now our luck has changed and confidence has been dented, Still glad we're playing tomorrow. Onwards and upwards COYR!
Didcot Saint Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Invicta Saint, I hope this notable statistic continues. In the cold light of day, after my utter disbelief at yesterday's totally gutting experience, I actually feel quite confident! UTS
InvictaSaint Posted 8 April, 2012 Author Posted 8 April, 2012 The OP is a purveyor of wisdom Bless you Joe ;-) (though you wouldn't have thought that if you had had to endure the 2 hour car drive home with me!!)
InvictaSaint Posted 8 April, 2012 Author Posted 8 April, 2012 Have added "automatically" after 'promoted' in original post. Sorry about that - rather crucial element!
sperm_john Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 i wasnt at the game, therefore ive not experienced said dissapointment that everyone else seems to be experiencing, to me it looked like a good point in the end, avoided a banana skin game (they were never going to roll over and die) and we can put things right very quickly tomorrow instead of having to hang about for a week .. we will go up, it just might be second instead of first if we bottle it any more times
hypochondriac Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Couple more wins should see us up with a draw maybe.
Thedelldays Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Couple more wins should see us up with a draw maybe. I agree...2 wins and a draw IMO will be enough to hobble over the line...
rick1976.4.38 Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 I agree...2 wins and a draw IMO will be enough to hobble over the line... lets hope so,its got a few more twists and turns yet
Hedgehog Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 Good article I came accross if we do go up: http://www.sabotagetimes.com/football-sport/5-reasons-why-southampton-can-cut-it-in-the-premier-league/
