Lots of possession for Leicester. Didn't create enough from it. Got caught with a nice crisp move. They didn't manage to create much for a lot of the second half. Plymouth were tiring and didn't hold onto it. Leicester had a couple of very good chances, and all of the ball. But couldn't get the goal. 17 mins for Vardy to get a touch, the 'tator said.

Leicester have a lot of decent players, but not clicking for them for a little while now. I'd still like to avoid them if they did finish 3rd, although their confidence would be dented.

You could quite easily substitute the word Leicester for saints

Still worth keeping half an eye on the automatic places after that. Still massively unlikely, but certainly feels Leicester at least are still catchable.

Those four dropped points v Boro & Blackburn so so costly…

It is nearly a carbon copy of our match threads.

So, just to summarise....95% of football fans are irrational and fickle, and 5% have a superiority complex and tend to mock and sneer at the other 95%. Gotcha 👍😉

There'll be identical comments on here if we lose to Watford tomorrow, so it's perhaps best not to gloat too much.

No one will be calling Martin a bald cunt

This one from their post match comments ring true to here?

"He can **** off. ****ing shite.

Absolute embarrassment. Didn't think I could hate a manager as much as Brendan /NathanJones but this is getting close. At least he's a nicer bloke."

We’ve dropped a lot more than those over the course of the season.

Nope.  Think of it like being pregnant, you can't be nearly pregnant. 🙃

Nail on head. I'm so irrational at times I won't even look at match threads on here and pretend I don't care what happens. I've even been known to go out on my bike during important games. God knows what I'll do if we get to Wembley or in the unlikely event we have to beat Leeds in that final game to go up automatically. I suspect the sneery stuff is a coping strategy more than anything else. Most like to rant, a few don't. My view is neither solves nor changes anything, its just a rollercoaster ride. I am less reactive than I used to be. Can well remember losing to Watford 7-1 in the League Cup in 1980 after being 4-0 up after the first leg. Didn't react well to that. Just no SWF then.

But in my case the possibility is zero.

Leeds well on top here.

Leeds have this one in the bag, I reckon.

Lots of possession doesn’t always translate into 3 points….

Leeds will definitely definitely win no problem at all.

Bamford's coming on to get the winner.

No SWF then and no internet. I was in Paris then and found out that result the next morning whilst opening a copy of the Dauly Mirror in a newsagent stall. How times have changed!!! 

[AlexLaw76]

how the feck did the Rovers player miss that?!

[coalman]

Can't fault Leeds' attacking intent. Many forwards on the pitch now.

[sfc4prem]

Pop a fiver on for Bamford to get the next goal. Sure fire way to waste a fiver.

[Turkish]

1-0 Blackburn 

A goal we would never score

4 touches from penalty area to area, great finish

Oh my

It's the hope that kills you though.

Win our games in hand we go level with Leeds if it stays like this

A draw at 4.55 will bring us back to reality

Wesley Hoedt has unfinished business!

[Block41 Saint]

Those two games over Easter killed us. Infuriating.

I can see Ipswich losing and us winning. Then a few days of wild optimism followed by crashing to earth on Tuesday.

That’s the Leeds who are already promoted automatically btw 🤣

Didn’t everyone?

[Jimmy_D]

Might just be worth keeping more than half an eye on the automatics again. Need to do our bit now.

[coalman]

Bamford really wanted a penalty today.

[Galway saint]

win next two and we are back in it 

[beatlesaint]

Well well well……..let’s see what we can do today before we start getting excited 😜 

[OttawaSaint]

Now the top 3 are choking our fuckups vs Boro and Ipswich hurt so much more. We could have been right in it! Faaaak!

[Turkish]

How costly do those injury time goals against Ipswich, Watford and Middlesbrough look now

But they were our examples of choking! Would'a, could'a, should'a.

[coalman]

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. The Leeds/Leicester Southampton tribute act is in full swing.

[sfc4prem]

What if...?

Plenty of injury time goals going our way as well this season. Kept our 25 game unbeaten run going.

[Saint_clark]

I actually did the championship predictor last night (I know, I know) I had us going into the final day in 2nd place 1 point behind Leeds. 

Can't remember all the results but I know I had Leeds beating Blackburn today.

[OttawaSaint]

Yeah you're right but it just goes to show that a goal here or there can be crucial.

Loser logic. Teams that win things score late winners they don’t concede them

why do you think Fergie time was called that? It wasn’t because some times they let in late goals that cost them titles

Absolutely spot on. Typical Saints will be for us to lose today anyway.
