dune Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 to be fair your predictions arent worth considering. if you totted up the points you had predicted every gane this season we would have been relegated by xmas. I predict that if we do f/ck it up alpine saint will be in his element and will go into overdrive with his dull and depressing diatribe. I also predict that if we pull this off he'll crawl back under his rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 It has been a long hard season and we've done brilliant to get where we are. Fact is, it's in our own hands, and we've already beaten the next 3 teams we face. We are also relatively free of injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, the short term disappointment of being promoted will be crushing for him, but within days he'll be revelling in threads about how there is really no money and we are planning for relegation because it's already July 3rd and we haven't signed Ronaldo yet.

Window Cleaner Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 (edited) Im poo ing myself here. But have to agree Peterborough are a bit rubbish. The only thing that makes me have any doubt about winning at Peterborough is that they suddenly turned up the wick and beat Reading 3-1,in fact they're the only side to beat Reading since about the 4th century BC.Perhaps they just caught them on a bad day.

This means nothing because that was then and teams can be rubbish one game and transformed the next, but what it demonstrates is what we need to do.

They'll also be putting out a makeshift defence as they're without Gabriel Zakuani, in the running for their player of the season I believe.

I see that Zakuani went off early in the second half yesterday. Trouble with Posh is that they have a few of those dangerous occasionally players that are a bit unpredictable like Boyd and Tomlin.

Yeh in the seated area, if not in the posh seated area. I've done the London road terrace, glebe road terrace (now the side family stand) and moyes end terrace on many ocassions and you won't get a worse view of a match in English football than from behind the goals. That is why I chose the home side stand because we had sold out in the away seated area - until another 590 became available, which is why i'll try and get a ticket in the away seated area and try and flog the home one before the game by hanging round outside the ticket office and discretely asking if anyone wants it cheap.

keithd Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 Ive just decided to cheer up and be positive after a grumpy couple of days, the football coupled with man flu. Pressure is telling, possibly. Therefore 2 games away from St Marys may just work in our favour, home teams will come to us leaving gaps for us to exploit. A win Tuesday, a win Saturday and we can begin to believe. Again!

hasper57saint Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 Just spoken to my S-I-L (a Posh STH) and he reckons if we play as we did against Reading then all will be Saints. However,if - and it's a very big if- Posh dig their heels in it'll be a draw. I try not to predict after Friday but I'm still convinced we will go up.

West Ham dropping points, Reading dropping points and us doing a clinical job on a very handy team at this level. Looking back at it though, after going 5 points clear of WHU and 7 points clear of Reading that night (with +14/15 on our GD) we really shouldn't have let them back into it as we have. Never mind, we'll still do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your positivity is an inspiration to us all mate. Are you driving or getting the train? If you're getting the train there are several decent pubs en route through the city centre and the city centre is only a 15-20 minute walk from the ground. There is one decent put in the corner of the cathedral square near Mac Donalds called the Grapevine. If you're coming from the station cross the dual carriageway on the glass bridge and go into the queensgate centre exiting where Mac Donalds is and do a right and it's in front of you.

the saint in winchester Posted 15 April, 2012 Share Posted 15 April, 2012 Need to win this one to restore confidence - of players and fans alike! Wham's goalfest means we may need to get 7 points (2 wins and a draw) to be certain. I can't see them dropping points now they are focused and going for it.

bender Posted 16 April, 2012 Share Posted 16 April, 2012 Still confident. Even if we somehow only draw tomorrow and Wham win, it's still in our hands and there will be a super human effort for Boro.

Professor Posted 16 April, 2012 Share Posted 16 April, 2012 One win in the last 4 is not only not promotion form, it is relegation form. Coventry and Portsmouth both have one win in the last 4. We need to win at Peterborough to show that we deserve to go up, although even then needing a draw and a win from the last two games doesn't make promotion certain. I hope Adkins is talking more forcibly at training than he does in public just in case there are players in this team who think that by going up they might lose their job. It should be made clear that if we don't go up there will be some major changes so that missing out will not be comfortable for the 'fantastic' players in this 'hard-working' squad.

obelisk Posted 16 April, 2012 Share Posted 16 April, 2012 I suppose it would be too much to have expected Saints to have promotion wrapped up by now even given the early season form. Oh well, onward we go and I'm trying to remain relaxed about it all but it's likely the churning will begin once again as tomorrow moves towards evening. Looking positively, I think I'd prefer to be facing a dodgy looking Peterboro at their place rather than popping over to Bristol City - and Reading are due a screw up some time. A win for Saints and an admittedly unlikely defeat for the Royals will have us back on top. If I allow any negative thoughts of a defeat to enter my head then the worst that can happen is that we'll be 3rd on goal difference with a couple of games left and West Ham playing after Saints Saturday efforts are shown to all on TV. Ok that's quite a grim thought but I'll deal with it if it happens. Come to think of it, there's actually quite an advantage to WHU in kicking off their penultimate game 2 days after Saints. Unless, of course, Saints manage to bag 6 points this week - something that IS within the realms of possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 16 April, 2012 Share Posted 16 April, 2012 there is more twists to appear yet. its amazing come 9.40 tues night we could be on the brink of promotion with only 1 point needed to secure it or it could be taken out of our hands should we lose, west ham win and there GD becomes better than ours. i am adamant we can do this this as long as we play like we did against reading albeit with out the individual errors. keep same team that started against reading. fonte cant play any worse. although chaplow was crap, as a team we was less of a threat when he went of. fox is due a set piece assist as well. dont think morgan will make tomorrow but hopefully saturday.
