Dalek2003 Posted 29 May, 2017 Share Posted 29 May, 2017 Dramatic shoot out. Nice to see a team in the top flight after 45 years absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamplemousse Posted 29 May, 2017 Share Posted 29 May, 2017 Enjoyed our rivalry with them in League 1. Good to see both us, Brighton and Huddersfield in the top flight. Add Bournemouth to that, and that's 4 of the top 6 from League One 6 years ago in the Premier League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 29 May, 2017 Share Posted 29 May, 2017 That's us, Brighton, Bournemouth and now Huddersfield all in the Premier League that were fighting it out in League One just 6 years ago! Great stuff. Huddersfield the better team too, Reading very dull. I have a lot of Reading supporting friends who won't be happy tonight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 29 May, 2017 Share Posted 29 May, 2017 Yep delighted for them, seem to remember they were good when we were down in the Championship and league one. Congratulations and welcome to the premiere league. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 29 May, 2017 Share Posted 29 May, 2017 Delighted to see them up in the big league. They pushed us so hard back in the L1 days, every week we won, you'd check the results to see they'd won as well. As other's have said, our old L1 promotion pals - brighton and Huddersfield, both in the big league. Much better than seeing the empty Reading club return, they're a fine example of such a non-club.

eurosaint Posted 29 May, 2017 Share Posted 29 May, 2017 Looks like I'm the only one to be disappointed that it's not Reading ! 2 of my kids were born there (lived in Wokingham at the time !) and a couple of good mates will be devastated, which is sad !

Don't get the crap on Sky about "plucky little Huddersfield". They were giants in the 1920s (no I don't remember it). Would have preferred Reading as I used to live there (and went to a good many games at the old ground) but Huddersfield are a good club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 29 May, 2017 Share Posted 29 May, 2017 Reading was an easier location to get to, although doubt we'd get enough tickets. Pleased for Huddersfield, good memories of our run in in L1 with them and Brighton, and also remember them from the old Division One days of Frankie Worthington playing for them.

I don't mind Huddersfield at all personally - just this justification that some deserve it more which they don't. And harking back to bygone days you could make a case that Portsmouth aren't a small club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint si Posted 29 May, 2017 Share Posted 29 May, 2017 Just back from the game (they're my Dad's team)! They played some good football and wanted it more than Reading. But will definitely need to strengthen to compete in the prem. Imagine Wagner will probably stay for another season now, provided he is able to bring in the players he wants/needs. BTW Huddersfield have some crazy playoff stats... they have now won 6 playoff shootouts (semis & finals) and nobody else has won more than 1. They have also won the playoffs in every division without scoring a goal in the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 30 May, 2017 Share Posted 30 May, 2017 My best mate supports Town. We've been to 2 games together in the 30+ years we've known each other . League cup game at Dell where Matt smacked 4 past them & a midweek 5-0 at St Mary's. Here's hoping my run continues.

suewhistle Posted 30 May, 2017 Share Posted 30 May, 2017 Had a good day out there a few years ago - apart from losing 3-1 (I think) and realising Jake Thomson wasn't the answer. The Station Buffet was great and they had a food festival in the station square, which all helped mellow me out for the Saint's performance..

Ha even in a poorest season in years we still weren't that bad. Never even close to relegation this season despite what people said. I saw table based on the form of teams in 2017 and despite being carp we still would have finished 13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 2 June, 2017 Share Posted 2 June, 2017 We ended the season in freefall and escaped a relegation scrap by a relatively small number of points and a crap bottom three. Another season of Puel and we are done for. If Puel goes, it's a game changer in every way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another season of Puel and we are done for. If Puel goes, it's a game changer in every way. Bottom threes are always crap. We did not "escape relegation". We were never, at any point in the entire season, anywhere near the relegation battle. Just a few hysterical idiots on forums like this pis sing their pants.

The9 Posted 2 June, 2017 Share Posted 2 June, 2017 (edited) We ended the season in freefall and escaped a relegation scrap by a relatively small number of points and a crap bottom three. Another season of Puel and we are done for. If Puel goes, it's a game changer in every way. "Freefall". Moving 2 places up the League from being 10 points behind 8th place on April 1st, to overhauling West Brom and Stoke. "Relegation scrap". We finished 13 points clear of the relegation zone, and already had enough points to have stayed up by April 1st with 11 matches left. April and May results: DWWLLDDLWDL. Bearing in mind also that we played Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Man United in that period. Edited 2 June, 2017 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
