Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Still in our own hands. Hoping for a much more attacking bench, just in case...!
Dalek2003 Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Cmon Leicester. Yep, lets wait and see. Wham still alive but they have to win !
Leicestersaint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Surely we won't cock up the final game in front of a sell out crowd - but then this is Saints.
Swansea_Saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Think we will win this comfortably, can't possibly think about any other outcome!!
St.Patrik Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Please Leicester help us out here on Monday - please
kwsaint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 That's the thing with football. Never predictable.
gjphilsaint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Start with Guly so that Nige can get it out of his system..then change it when we are hitting ourselves against a brick wall..
St Chalet Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Chaplow did a Hammy so I reckon Guly will start.
Kingsland Red Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 If we dont beat a team already relegated to Div 1, then our team is clearly not yet good enough for the Premiership. We've had some good last days - recently v Everton and Sheffield United immediately spring to mind. COYR, one more massive effort.
St Chalet Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 We will win. No problem This, we did them in the cup, in a slump with our reserves.
Surrey Saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Will be in Leicester Monday for a conference. Have arranged to take my Leicester Uni student daughter out for a meal in the pm. Can I persuade her she'd prefer to go to the King Power stadium and have a burger at half time instead?
Manuel Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Do Coventry have a particular grudge with either us or WHU that you can think of?
Thedelldays Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Do Coventry have a particular grudge with either us or WHU that you can think of? no, they are just shyt and will be missing an important player for them they are terrible ffs
KK the 2nd Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Chaplow did a Hammy so I reckon Guly will start. Morgan, I think rather than Guly. Guly on the bench along with SDR and no Bart. Won't need a keeper!
alpine_saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 no, they are just shyt and will be missing an important player for them they are terrible ffs As were Portsmouth supposed to be.
sotonist Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 If we dont beat a team already relegated to Div 1, then our team is clearly not yet good enough for the Premiership. We've had some good last days - recently v Everton and Sheffield United immediately spring to mind. COYR, one more massive effort. What if we lose against a team already relegated to league one and still get automatic promotion. Best promotion party ever :/
Thedelldays Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 As were Portsmouth supposed to be. do you think we will win next week..regardless of the west ham game..?
Saint Bob Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Surely we won't cock up the final game in front of a sell out crowd - but then this is Saints. We don't deserve this for ***k sake. We are loyal, we are strong; we are the only team in Hampshire, so why do we always have to go through all this ****?
alpine_saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 do you think we will win next week..regardless of the west ham game..? I dont know. On paper we should bury them. And we have something to play for. But paper doesnt seem to mean much at SFC.
Thedelldays Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 I dont know. On paper we should bury them. And we have something to play for. But paper doesnt seem to mean much at SFC. yes or no...go on, go for it
stev2001 Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Keogh was voted their best player last season and has played every game for them this time around. His red red today could really help us.
alpine_saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 yes or no...go on, go for it And what happens if I predict wrong in DellDays La-La Land ?
KK the 2nd Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 We will bury them and be partying all afternoon, evening, night and into Sunday morning, afternoon, evening ...
KK the 2nd Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 ... and if you don't believe that you can always back Cov at 7/1 with Skybet ... waste of money though!
Surrey Saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 I'm not sure I can take much more of this, the hope, the expectation the looking-on-the-bright-side of defeats. But at last we reach the final game and all we need do is win, - against a demoralised, relegated side. What could be simpler . . . . Unfortunately for me I'll be in Italy for an in-laws family gathering. Village in the north. No television, no radio. Have to rely on iPhone for updates - if there's an internet signal. Strangely have a feeling of relief along with regret I can't be at SMS. Possibly by the time I get to hear the outcome it will all be over - no minute by minute ups and downs, no heart in mouth moments, no looking at the progress of other games. I'll miss it.
Rebel Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 That's the thing with football. Never predictable. Today's result was all too predictable!
jonjapan Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 (edited) (reply to KK the 2nd: "you can always back Cov at 7/1 with Skybet ... waste of money though! " ) Yep, I don't know much about betting, but a poster on another thread was talking about 'consolation money' which got me thinking that I'm surprised they don't push that more as a psychological service for fans that think that way. If you put money on it both ways for every outcome: on Saints win or draw AND on a Coventry win, how much would you really be risking, and how much consolation money could you get? (Southampton 1/3, Draw 7/2, Coventry 7/1) Gutted today but think we will still go up. Just wondering... Edited 21 April, 2012 by jonjapan
alpine_saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Today's result was all too predictable! Yes it was. As were the derby games As was the Reading game Connection ? Big games, important to the club and fans Conclusion ? Glass-jawed chokers Prognosis for Coventry game and promotion based on trend ? You have to say, not good. Have to hope Leicester make it irrelevant before then.

OK just tried to calculate that, and it seems "waste of money" -- Skybet: Southampton 1/3, Draw 7/2, Coventry 7/1 Scenario bet win total (win minus 300 total bet) A: Saints win 100 133 -167 B: Draw 100 350 50 C: Coventry win 100 700 400 Oh well. Go Leicester!
Saint-Armstrong Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Yes it was. As were the derby games As was the Reading game Connection ? Big games, important to the club and fans Conclusion ? Glass-jawed chokers Prognosis for Coventry game and promotion based on trend ? You have to say, not good. Have to hope Leicester make it irrelevant before then. Palace and Posh were big games too, we won. You can't pick and choose stats when there are others which clearly show this to be otherwise. Brighton last year? Let me pick your glass jaw up for you, you poor little attention seeker.
St Chalet Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 In September 1985 I watched my first ever live game at The Dell. Next week my 4 year old son will go and see his first 1st team game. There is a bit of a connection here, the opposition was / is Coventry. Hopefully we can improve on the 1-1 Draw I saw. I am in no doubt that my son will witness a victory, a sell out crowd and a promotion. Hopefully in 30 years or so he will be telling his kids about how special and historic his first game was.
teamsaint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 So........assuming whu win on Monday, next Saturday SMS is going to be something else. At home, a win needed to clinch promotion after 7 years.........in our first season back in this league. Forget today's disappointment.........if you can't look forward to this you probably need a new way to spend your leisure time. Football is usually won and lost on narrow margins.....things often got to the last day. This is NOT , really is NOT a team of bottlers. Posh was a big game. palace was a big game, Both West Ham games were big games, Brighton last season was, as was Brentford, as was MK Dons, as was the JPT final. They will do us proud, I feel sure.
darren Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Has a team ever been top two all season untill after the final game ?
alpine_saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Why do you claim to SUPPORT Southampton FC ? I am not having my motivations questioned by the likes of you. Very bored with these childish questions, borne out of an intollerance to a differing perspective, anyway.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Chaplow did a Hammy so I reckon Guly will start. Towards the end Lalanna looked to have tweaked his groin too! don't want to be missing him!
Dr Who? Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 We will already be up come this game. I have no doubt that West Ham will not win at Leicester. Leicester are good at home. Their last 10 home games. W7 D3 L0 Also we will smash Cov 4-0. Even if we draw, I think we will still go up.
Dr Who? Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Leicester have also only lost 1 of their last 15 at home.... Blimey they started rubbish!
badgerx16 Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 So we lost today, away at a team fighting to get into the play-offs. We lost at home to Reading, who were on the most amazing run of results, and who had been in the Championship play-offs in 2 of the previous 3 seasons, ( whilst we were slipping to our lowest ebb and completely rebuilding from effectively nothing ). Unfortunately for our form record, these 2 games came within days of each other, in a season where we have a record of P45 W25 D10 L10 F81 A46. Given how far we've come in the last 2 seasons, I am absolutely amazed and delighted that with 1 game to play automatic promotion is entirely within our own control - the highest scoring team in the league, with the highest scoring individual will possibly have to win, at home, against probably the worst team in the competition. If you had offered that scenario at the start of last season, how many would have thought it possible ? Saints will be Premier League next season. How f@@@ing amazing is that ?
InvictaSaint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 We will already be up come this game. I have no doubt that West Ham will not win at Leicester. Leicester are good at home. Their last 10 home games. W7 D3 L0 Also we will smash Cov 4-0. Even if we draw, I think we will still go up. That has really cheered me up! Thanks Dr Who.

brett24 Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 I just bet on a West Ham win, so they will lose or draw. Think nerves could do us next week praying West Ham drop points on Monday. Wish they were playing tomorrow want this over with cannot think of anything else.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 What exactly is that supposed to mean, billy big b****x ? How nice you left Alpine a kiss!
