Bad Wolf Posted 23 May, 2015 Posted 23 May, 2015 Anyone else really nervous about tomorrow? I know some are saying that they don't want Europa League (which we still might get even if things don't go our way...Or do, whichever way you wanna look at it) but for me, I can't see the point in being in the PL if you're not going to try and compete and be the best you can be. We'd be more attractive to come and play for and think of the class of players and teams that we could have from the group stages of the CL and you never know, we might even do well in it, Fulham got to the final a few years ago and with the winners going into the CL for the next season, I can't see what's not to want about it. Yes, it'll be extra games but Koeman's managed in Europe before and I trust him to assemble a proper squad. If nothing else, think how funny it'd be to finish above Spurs and Liverpool. In fact, think what an amazing achievement it would be to finish 5th, especially after the summer we had. I know it's out of our hands and we have a very tough game but I really want fifth!

ant Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 If we somehow conspire to finish 5th... SO hyped for this. Praying that our fans will be up for 90 minutes of singing and a top final day atmosphere (and why not in our best ever PL season?) If not I'll stand and chant on my own, win or lose. COYR, one final push...

COYR, one final push... I think Ron is going to be right up for this, very much the kind of situation he revels in! Assuming results go our way, draw and finish above Spurs would be great, win and finish above the bin dippers would be superb, and crown a great entertaining season. If the two most delusional clubs in English football did finish below us last day the inquest will be hilarious - foaming mouths in north London and candles being lit on Merseyside! COYR!

COYR, one final push... Well, there will be atleast two of us there singing for 90 minutes! I'm en route at the moment and I hope the fans are in a loud and celebratory mood too.. It's been another amazing season.
Cabrone Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 I think we can get something out of this, if there ever is a time to play Citeh away it's now when they have nothing to play for. 90 minutes of passion could be what separates us from 5th and 7th.
rallyboy Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 At least the Premier League has learned something this season - with big games and even bigger consequences, Kevin Friend isn't refereeing today.
Saint_clark Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Just realised this will likely be Lampards last game in English football, and I can't see City letting him down the way Liverpool did Gerrard.
Lorne Malvo Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 I'd give me left nut to finish above Saints and Spurs this season...Please make it happen!
Saint_clark Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 I'd give me left nut to finish above Saints and Spurs this season...Please make it happen! You've been rumbled you bin dipper.
simo Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Buzzing for today I'll be following it at home couch surfing while flicking between solent , the Hull and Newcastle games with a bit of cricket thrown in too ! If we somehow finish 5th or 6th I might just do a little jig ;-) Coyr!
suewhistle Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 I needed a lemon for cooking; for some reason some of it has ended up in a Gin and tonic, but I'm feeling calmer already. Ready for my cry when we don't get 5th.

supersonic Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 We'll do extremely well to get anything from this game. 3-1 defeat.
suewhistle Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Inside or outside? I'm off to get another one: G&Ts get my gastric juices going, dontchaknow, and I need to eat before the stress at 3 o'clock..
Bucks Saint Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 I mistakenly thought you needed Stella when making a chilli. Realised just in time that its red wine, so now have both open but with all the excitement I have lost interest in cooking.
Goatboy Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Breakfast of Golden Champion and bacon butties. Off to the festival with my radio. Come on Merrington!
nta786 Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Same team as last week except Djuricic in for JWP... And Davis for Gazza ofc
BARCELONASAINT Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 interesting couple of changes considering whats possibly at stake.
Olly Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Personally pretty excited to see what Djuricic does with this start, I think he's looked bright recently.
Colinjb Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Surprised that Gazza has been dropped, he looked much improved last week.
SaintSteve Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Definitely going for it..best team from those available.
Batman Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Definitely going for it..best team from those available. city appear to be going for it too with their line up
Matthew Le God Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Surprised that Gazza has been dropped, he looked much improved last week. Koeman told the press a couple of weeks ago that the plan was for Gazzaniga was going to play two games and Davis would get the final game.
Colinjb Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Koeman told the press a couple of weeks ago that the plan was for Gazzaniga was going to play two games and Davis would get the final game. Sentimentality. A double edged sword perhaps.
Pancake Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Sentimentality. A double edged sword perhaps. You know what, in contrast to today's modern game I'd rather give Kelvin his big sign off that wet my panties over finishing 5,6,7. Fair play to Saints and RK.
Saint Charlie Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 You know what, in contrast to today's modern game I'd rather give Kelvin his big sign off that wet my panties over finishing 5,6,7. Fair play to Saints and RK. He said on Wednesday night that he wasnt even thinking about the fact its 300 games. Hopefully he has a good game but keeper situation a huge factor in us most likely finishing a minor amount of points behind Liverpool or Spurs.
maysie Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 I heard that the Alex and Inferno aren't showing the game today. These are my usual places, anyone recommend somewhere else?
Convict Colony Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Personally pretty excited to see what Djuricic does with this start, I think he's looked bright recently. yeah I agree, I've like what he brings when he starts.
hypochondriac Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Anyone know a pub in Basingstoke likely to show the game or if not just sky sports?
Ohio Saint Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Anyone know a pub in Basingstoke likely to show the game or if not just sky sports? There's one near the roundabout.
saintwbu Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Part of me is glad City aren't starting any talented youngsters who are hungry to prove their worth in their one big chance. City have been uninspiring on many occasions this season, if we take it to them and are on our game then I think there's definitely something in this. Amazing that i'm hoping for us to finish 5th today after having seen Oldham sit 10 behind the ball and catch us on the break at St Mary's not too long ago, who'd have thought it!
SaintLiam Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Let's just hope Mane and Long can run riot on the ancient Demichelis and the awful Mangala (let's hope he doesn't get sent off again)
Saint Charlie Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 First goal massive today and need to start much better than in recent away games.
Saint_clark Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 All of a sudden massively nervous. Come on Saints, do something amazing...
SaintLiam Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Both keepers on 300 apps for their respective clubs today, nice stat.
