Wiggles31 Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 I'll start... - we have the best home record in le championship. What else people?
SNSUN Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 West Ham are crud at home. 6-0 wins against ghey people aside... We are at home, against the worst team in the league. Morgan will be back in the starting line up.
kpturner Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 We are 2 ahead on points We are three ahead on GD We are 2 ahead on GS We are ahead on the "head to head" We are playing a relegated team with no morale left WH are playing a half decent outfit in Hull How many more do you need?

S-Clarke Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 Coventry city have the worst away record in the entire football league I believe. They are without their captain and player of the season. They are without one of their main midfielders They no squad depth and their bench was made up of 16 and 17 year olds in the last game. They will be forced to play 16 and 17 year olds in some positions on Saturday We have the leagues best player and top goal scorer. We are 2 pts ahead, better Goal difference and more goals scored We have the best attacking midfielder in the league Even when we play badly, we still create chances. We will have 32,000 fans cheering us on. Sorted.
Saint Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 Coventry will (hopefully) be already on their holidays. They have nothing to play for. Our record of bouncing back after a defeat is excellent. Not sure of the exact stats though.
saintant Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 A glance at the table shows that we're second from top while Coventry are second from bottom. That should tell you that we're very good whereas Coventry are very poor. What else do you need to know?
shirleysfc Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 Morgan's back Chaplow's out Coventry are worse than my 5 a side team
kpturner Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 Lambert.And Lallana, and Fox's sweet left foot delivery, and Hooiveld immense at the back, and Sharp on fire, and Spiderman and everyone else of course
kpturner Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 We always do the business on the last day (ignore the PL relegation against Man Utd. That was because I had to go to NZ).
S-Clarke Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 Morgan's back Chaplow's out Coventry are worse than my 5 a side team Not sure how you make Chaplow being out as a positive.
kpturner Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 Morgan's back Chaplow's out Coventry are worse than my 5 a side teamEdit that now!! It is a negative and has no place on here.
shirleysfc Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 Not sure how you make Chaplow being out as a positive. For all his huff and puff he achieves very little.
S-Clarke Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 For all his huff and puff he achieves very little. We're not as good without him. I'd say your discription above relates to De Ridder more than Chaplow.
SaintBobby Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 Coventry have only won 1 of 22 away league games. Keogh, their player of the season, is suspended. They won't give a toss. Southend all over again.
shirleysfc Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 We're not as good without him. I'd say your discription above relates to De Ridder more than Chaplow. Tbf it applies to both! Chaplow had a cracking start to the season but hasn't been the same since his injury. We need a proper RM next season, whichever division we're in.
St Chalet Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 My 4 year old son's first game, plus I haven't seen us lose a game in 2 years.
St Chalet Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 If roles were reversed and I was a WHU fan I would think we had no chance.
Matthew Le God Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 Norwich lifted the 2nd place trophy at Carrow Road vs Coventry City in 2011 after winning promotion at Fratton Park...

kpturner Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 We are live on TV, and the law of averages says we will win.
Thedelldays Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 positive points...apart from the obvious that cov are just dire away from home so many more people can say "they were there to see saints get promoted" the after game celebrations will be that much better.. what an epic way to do it
Amesbury Saint Posted 23 April, 2012 Posted 23 April, 2012 http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/16596-Dont-want-to-do-West-Ham-any-favours-at-Southampton they seem quite keen for us to win.
Shroppie Posted 24 April, 2012 Posted 24 April, 2012 Any other opposition might think that WHU being promoted removes more dangerous opposition for next season but Coventry are down and don't need to worry about that. And they didn't like Hammers not beating BC.
saintbob40 Posted 24 April, 2012 Posted 24 April, 2012 Chaplow has the touch of an irate blacksmith..........but that aisde we'll win this game by at least 4 and Sunday will see some of the biggest South Coast hangovers in history.
S-Clarke Posted 24 April, 2012 Posted 24 April, 2012 Cov fan on their injuries: Our injury situation? Err mmm. Deegan- injured, Clingan - injured, Hermann - injured, Christie- injured, Wood- injured, Cameron - injured, Bell - injured, Nimely -injured, Keogh - suspended.
Spudders Posted 24 April, 2012 Posted 24 April, 2012 they seem quite keen for us to win. :lol: by the looks of some of those comments I expect most of them to be wearing saints shirts & cheering when we score!!!!
Pilchards Posted 24 April, 2012 Posted 24 April, 2012 West Ham have not won two back to backs this year I heard, while we always bounce back after a defeat.

Window Cleaner Posted 24 April, 2012 Posted 24 April, 2012 while we always bounce back after a defeat. except just the once.Bristol at home, Brighton away.
AussieDog Posted 24 April, 2012 Posted 24 April, 2012 We've played good football for most of the season, yet we've never turned our superiority into goals...it's about time someone took a massive hammering ....and one from the record books as a reminder - Southampton 8 Coventry 2!!
modern matron Posted 25 April, 2012 Posted 25 April, 2012 BUMP. Reading this makes me feel just a bit calmer. Diazepam thread.
Shroppie Posted 25 April, 2012 Posted 25 April, 2012 I make no apology for reposting this from the main buildup thread. After a day of calming down on the golf course and escaping from this forum, where some of the posts seem to be getting quite hysterical in their panic over what may or may not happen on Saturday, I’ve reflected on the task and: We have the team to get the job finished with a win. They have the individual and collective skills to beat a Coventry team who’ve lost to us twice this season already We have the best manager in the Championship to prepare the team psychologically for the game. He will not allow over-confidence nor negativity. We must have (and will have) a fantastic atmosphere in SMS helping them over the line. That support must stay positive even if things don’t go right from the start and patience is needed. To those who are getting tense and scared, that’s natural given the prize at stake, but the last thing needed is any collective anxiety being transmitted to the team, and I would be surprised if there aren’t quite a few who look on here, so let’s keep reminding them of our confidence in them. It’s been an amazing season, and I am confident that with the team, fans and manager working together on Saturday, it will have a happy ending.
bender Posted 25 April, 2012 Posted 25 April, 2012 Coventry have only won 1 of 22 away league games. Keogh, their player of the season, is suspended. They won't give a toss. Southend all over again. Southend scored first !! I couldnt take that.
S-Clarke Posted 25 April, 2012 Posted 25 April, 2012 Southend scored first !! I couldnt take that. I remember that, their CB barrett I think with a volley? That woke us up to be fair and we tore them a new one in the 2nd half.
dronskisaint Posted 26 April, 2012 Posted 26 April, 2012 I remember that, their CB barrett I think with a volley? That woke us up to be fair and we tore them a new one in the 2nd half. I remember their (Sarfind) fans singing 'That's why we're going down' shortly after we'd taken the p*ss with the same song a minute or two earlier when they'd shot high and wide...I'd settle for that score and atmosphere! I hope Coventry get sorted - they need to get lucky with an owner like we did and start their climb back up. They've never bothered me as a club...reasonably friendly and punching above their weight in a similar way to us in the early days of the PL and before.
stev2001 Posted 26 April, 2012 Posted 26 April, 2012 We will have more saints fans at this game at SMS than ever on record. I think I'm right in saying this.
stev2001 Posted 26 April, 2012 Posted 26 April, 2012 My 4 year old son's first game, plus I haven't seen us lose a game in 2 years. My 2 year old will watch saints for the first time on tv at his grandparents.
SNSUN Posted 26 April, 2012 Posted 26 April, 2012 Positive points: Why Southampton will be in the Premier League next season. http://thisisfutbol.com/2012/02/blogs/the-top-five-reasons-why-southampton-f-c-will-be-in-the-premier-league-next-season I remember reading this in February and I think someone commented that the author is a Saints fan, but nevertheless it's comforting reading before Saturday's game.

If we'd had Tad available it would have been all over 3 or 4 matches ago.
Dark Munster Posted 26 April, 2012 Posted 26 April, 2012 Any other opposition might think that WHU being promoted removes more dangerous opposition for next season but Coventry are down and don't need to worry about that. And they didn't like Hammers not beating BC. I wonder how they feel about us losing to BC twice?
dune Posted 26 April, 2012 Posted 26 April, 2012 In the omens thread my dog flushed out a duck and phesant and 3 partridges. We beat posh (the pheasant), we lost to Boro (the duck), and now we have three partridges coming up against Coventry.
