Arizona Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 This Saints lark isn't good for the old ticker. Barnsley, Norwich and Forrest all on 46 points. Saints on 44 with a worse goal difference.
benjii Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Barnsley must be cacking themselves. We win. Forest get a good result. Barnsley only have one more home game and it's against Wolves. They also have Reading away.
WealdSaint Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 THe pain continues ;-)......................love it!
IronCitySaint Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Yes. We live to fight another day. There is still hope.
Mr Saints Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 That Forest game on the last day is going to be absolutely massive.
lamanga Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 (edited) Mawhinney may have the last laugh whatever we do Edited 13 April, 2009 by lamanga because I wrote Malwhinney originally, of which 'mal' is bad in Spanish. Oooohh God, a freaky bad omen there.... oh......
saint lard Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Oh,ffs,why do Saints put us through this time after time after......
alpine_saint Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 A badly needed result, but there still a mountain to climb - on and off the pitch.
SaintBobby Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Charlton are dead. It's two of Barnsley, Norwich, Forest and Saints, with us as the slight underdogs.
Charlie2008 Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Scary stuff. Well done boys - ground out a result at last.
Window Cleaner Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Barnsley must be cacking themselves. We win. Forest get a good result. Barnsley only have one more home game and it's against Wolves. They also have Reading away. could be our salvation, especially with Cardiff really motoring,none of the top 3 can afford to drop points.
Micky Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Credit where credit is due - good win - but alas I fear it is too little too late though.... Time will tell I guess...
Saint Martini Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Barnsley must be cacking themselves. We win. Forest get a good result. Barnsley only have one more home game and it's against Wolves. They also have Reading away. Guaranteed win that. :s Good match, we didn't give away a lot of chances ( until the third minute of injury time....). Saeijs sounded immense, he won a lot of headers. Hopefully we can get above Forest before the last match of the season.
Sussex Saint Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Phew.. I'm sure they could have had time for another corner at the end.! What a relief..
Minsk Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Let's hope this is the start of a 4 game winning streak!! Well done DMG for the 'wonder strike,' KD for the great save at the death, and to all the rest of the team.
benjii Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 could be our salvation, especially with Cardiff really motoring,none of the top 3 can afford to drop points. Yep, still think it will take another 6 points and at least a draw at Forest though. Norwich have an East Anglian derby away followed by Reading at home on their next two matches so not exactly easy fixtures for them either. Charlton away on the last day though....
monkadill Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 I never relized how much this means to me - i cried!
saint lard Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 could be our salvation, especially with Cardiff really motoring,none of the top 3 can afford to drop points. This could prove vital,they are all vying for automatic promotion or play off places as a minimum.
saint lard Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 I never relized how much this means to me - i cried! girl ?
Redondo Saint Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Good to get 3 points, but too little too late I fear. Further compound by the Watford and Forest games
lamanga Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 I never relized how much this means to me - i cried! see a specialist
Saint_Si Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 David McGoldrick you ****ing legend! Fair play to the chap. A deserved win. 3 more to go! Yet another great escape is on the cards. COME ON YOU SAINTS! The Spirit of Southampton lives on.
Leslie Charteris Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 "The last thing we give up is hope." A Brazilian proverb, apparently, but it seems just right for Saints fans.
ART Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Sadly, too little too late I'm afraid. Had the other results gone our way then this would have meant something. Alas I fear for the remaining games and chances of leap frogging the other teams.
Arizona Posted 13 April, 2009 Author Posted 13 April, 2009 Good to get 3 points, but too little too late I fear. Further compound by the Watford and Forest games Disagree. We've halved the gap to Forest. If we better or equal their results between now and win our trip to Nottingham, we will go above them. It's a big if, but we're in with a chance. Especially as we're still within 2 points of Norwich and an awful Barnsley team, who have a tough run in. Overall a Saints win and a draw and defeat for 2 of our rivals is a good afternoon. We could be 7 points off safety if things had gone differently.
ottery st mary Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 COYR...Lap of the Gods....WELL DONE MIGHTY MAC.
SaintBobby Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 The way I'm looking at is that I'm sort of assuming we have to win at Notts Forest. I'm sort of factoring that in to my equations - so am sort of lookign at the league table with us having Pld 43 and having 47 points and Forest Pld 43 with 46 points. Cheating I know. But then I'm asking - what else do we need happen? What's the least we can do and survive?
CanadaSaint Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Disagree. We've halved the gap to Forest.

Especially as we're still within 2 points of Norwich and an awful Barnsley team, who have a tough run in. I'm torn. I'm almost wanting Forest to be clear of trouble, with nothing to play for, by the time we go there. Too many of our players don't know how to handle the kind of pressure that goes with a final "us or them" game. Today's Norwich win was a real barsteward.
ericofarabia Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Firkin ell ... my computer went tits up 10 secs after we scored and I've only just managed to see that we held out ... unfortunately Sheff U and Watford let us down Prolongs the agony another week or so I guess. Why oh why did we lose against Charlton and not to mention the potentially catastrophic home defeat against Forest earlier this season :mad: Please pretty please can we stay up, we will promise to be better next season (if we are still in existence :cool:) I'm am a total wreck now having spent 20 mins trying to get my computer working again ... probably no different then to you guys listening to the last few dodgy minutes having to defend 3 corners 8-[
Poshie72 Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Good result especially when the others have flapped today

But then I'm asking - what else do we need happen? What's the least we can do and survive? Well, if you're going to accept 3 points at Forest as a given, then we don't need to do a thing - if 2 from Norwich, Barnsley or Forest don't score another point.
SaintBobby Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Well, if you're going to accept 3 points at Forest as a given, then we don't need to do a thing - if 2 from Norwich, Barnsley or Forest don't score another point. See...told you this was going to be easy...:-)
Ponty Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 See...told you this was going to be easy...:-) Great, we can all relax!
ottery st mary Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 if IS A BIG WORD SO i WILL ONLY SAY THIS ONCE....IF only we had The Dutch One Size all season. At his age he might stay with us anyway...wages..I suppose..lET US HOPE WE STAY UP SOMEHOW.
red&white4life Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Quite a good game. Players were up for it for a change. Very tense last 5 minutes. Col
Dark Munster Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 "The last thing we give up is hope." A Brazilian proverb, apparently, but it seems just right for Saints fans. I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand.
red&white56 Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 With our terrible home form this season, this is a great 3 points - we have a chance!
Ewell Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Well well well David McGoldrick saves our bacon yet again and he shows he is the only player in our squad who can score consistently. Still plenty on here still hate the fella and want him out of the team. Just where would we be then? Well done David and the rest of the team that was a much needed result. Two more wins and a draw may well be enough! Come on Saints!
benjii Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Forest have a pretty good run-in. I wouldn't be surprised if Forest are actually safe by the time we go there as Norwich and Barnsley have a tricky few games coming up.
Dellboy Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Now I've got to miss the match on the 25th and mow the lawn again wearing a 2003 yellow cup final shirt just to make sure we get another home win.
SaintBobby Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 Forest have a pretty good run-in. I wouldn't be surprised if Forest are actually safe by the time we go there as Norwich and Barnsley have a tricky few games coming up. I think the mere fact that we play Forest on the last day means one of us and Forest are likely to drop, but probably only one of us. One thing we do want to happen is for Burnley to have secured a play-off slot before they come to St. Mary's!
pimpin4rizeal Posted 13 April, 2009 Posted 13 April, 2009 lookin at the run in i think that 2 wins out of the next 3 will do us. barnsley and norwich both have very nasty remaining matches so 50 points might do the job
