sammysaint Posted 6 May, 2013 Share Posted 6 May, 2013 Draw tonight was perfect result for us if you consider there now missing 3 good players next week, i reckon it will be like our game vs Swansea boring and cancelling each other out, and will be a 0-0 or 1-1 draw, Wigan have there cup final some players wont go in fully in fear of injury. If Swansea win, then all this panic would be for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 6 May, 2013 Share Posted 6 May, 2013 Can't see past a Wigan win (but then again I'm carp at predictions) so hopefully that will be wrong as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 6 May, 2013 Share Posted 6 May, 2013 Wigan need a win, this is their win or bust game. The pressure may be too much. A draw or defeat and it's curtains for them. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpturner Posted 6 May, 2013 Share Posted 6 May, 2013 Wigan will absolutely definitely 100% without a shadow of doubt win this match. Just expect it and we can get on with getting what we need. Imagine being a Newcastle fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 6 May, 2013 Share Posted 6 May, 2013 Although they massively need the points, I wonder whether any of the Wigan players will get "not going to injure myself before the Cup Final" syndrome tomorrow night?

Flyer Posted 7 May, 2013 Share Posted 7 May, 2013 Wigan need a win, this is their win or bust game. The pressure may be too much. A draw or defeat and it's curtains for them. IMO. They still have villa at home, norwich have WBA and Citeh so could easily not get another point. Saints will be ok if they are above newcastle and/or norwich after the w/e fixtures. You really dont want it to go down to the last game and the last minute like I did last season. I think saints are 90% safe at the moment. Im hoping its Norwich who go down.

SaintBobby Posted 7 May, 2013 Share Posted 7 May, 2013 Saints remain about 30/1 to be relegated. Wigan have drifted to slight odds against (about 5/4). Norwich remain about 3/1 and Newcastle about 9/2. Sunderland have come in to about 6/1 (they were evens favourites to beat Stoke, so a draw and losing Gardner isn't great). Villa are generally slightly shorter odds than Saints - about 25/1. Apologies for those who think bookies odds are utterly irrelevant. The Wigan v Swansea match will swing the odds hugely. For all the teams listed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suomi Saint Posted 7 May, 2013 Share Posted 7 May, 2013 Saints odds are ridiculous - if Wigan win tonight we are ONE point off the drop zone with an away game in the North East against a team who will treating the match as a "Champions League Final." I predict that we will be 17th on Sunday night, one point above Wigan. Norwich will have 41, Newcastle 41, Sunderland 41, Villa 41. We will have to beat Stoke on the final day.

saint si Posted 7 May, 2013 Share Posted 7 May, 2013 The worry for me is that the other teams know they are in a scrap. Whereas I get the impression Saints started to relax 3 or 4 games ago... people already starting to talk about next season, signing players on long term contracts, thinking about who are we going to bring in, talking about European football (fair play or CL or whatever)... Please Saints, just one more massive effort at the Stadium of Light. Win that and we're home and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appy Posted 7 May, 2013 Share Posted 7 May, 2013 Seems perfect for Wigan tonight, a team with nothing to play for, can they handle the pressure? If they don't win we'll be fine for sure.

tajjuk Posted 7 May, 2013 Share Posted 7 May, 2013 (edited) Wigan have to win, they won't get anything against Arsenal at the Emirates when they are trying to get a champions league place. They need 6 points from these 3 games really. Can't see Villa beating Chelsea, Norwich v West Brom could be any result. Newcastle should beat QPR away. Our game is then a massive 6 pointer, beat Sunderland and we are safe. Last round of fixtures is in our favour, we have Stoke at home, Newcastle have Arsenal, Norwich are at Man City, Wigan and Villa play each other and Sunderland have Spurs away. (BTW Fulham have Liverpool then Swansea away, it's quite conceivable that they could pick up no extra points) If you go by the theory that Wigan win tonight then win at home against Villa. 41 points will keep you safe. We need one win or two draws really. Edited 7 May, 2013 by tajjuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 7 May, 2013 Share Posted 7 May, 2013 Saints remain about 30/1 to be relegated. So basically the odds are shortening with every result.

alpine_saint Posted 7 May, 2013 Share Posted 7 May, 2013 did you fear we would have bottled it end of last season, when we went to boro and lost? Yes. And lets face it, having led the NPC almost all year, in the end we staggered and fell over the finish line for promotion We lost to Blackpool and Reading on the run-in. In fact someone pointed out we cheerfully hammered the bottom 2 thirds of the table, and lost most games against the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
