https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018...h-to-be-shown-live-at-st-marys-premier-league Swansea game being shown live at St Marys....not sure how I feel about that. Often a bad idea....fans can be less than fully gruntled if we do badly in the absence of the actual team.
Nail on head "fran" Also, as a relative 'newbie' there seems to be mainly the Class of 2011 posting on here. And, yes, gettng slagged off for having a different view has, I suspect, an effect on whether to continue taking part in the forum or finding another outlet.
Not sure what you mean by that. You’ll find a great number of the posters here are of ‘vintage’ years. There’s a difference as well in being ‘slagged off’ for having a different view, and being challenged on that view, or being asked to justify it. That’s discussion, and is what makes a forum tick round. There’s also being called out when a view feels hypocritical or essentially makes no sense.
By the way, just because someone is younger, it doesn’t mean their viewpoints have any less weight. Particularly if you’re talking bollocks. That kind of condescending attitude only says something about one of the people.
I actually think that's hugely improved over the past year or so tbh, as both sides were guilty of it in the past. Much better discussion on here now rather than the previous positive/negative ****e we used to get.
Thankfully their run of recent wins is more desperate than ours, none in the last 12 games since beating 'Udders in Lambert's first match in charge.
When you say “some”, they only have 2 left! Home to Palace I can’t see them winning, and the last game at Swansea will be very difficult, especially if we beat the Swans on Tuesday, as both teams will be fighting for their lives.
We lose to Everton, Swansea beat Bournemouth and Stoke beat Palace is the nightmare, yet pretty possible, scenario isn't it?
Of course, but it’s also possible that we beat Everton and Swansea, Palace beat Stoke, Bournemouth also beat Swansea, Huddersfield lose all their last 3, and then the Swansea v Stoke match is irrelevant to us, as, indeed is how we get on against City.
I give us a slightly greater chance of staying up that them, but that does possibly include an element of bias on my part. It could be argued that Stoke have at least an equal chance than us, if not greater. They're much more likely to win two games than we are, in my view. The difference is, of course, we start with a two and a half point advantage (given GD). Six points keeps us up, of that I am certain (whether we'll get them is another matter - I really don't think we will); but six points for Stoke only gives them a sniff survival, nothing more. Them failing to win at Anfield was very important for us, despite some people on here wanting to keep Stoke alive.
