In other news, Pellegrino has decided to become a social worker after witnessing us picking up 7 points in a week.
Respect Vin. You always believed when even some of us other positive chaps succumbed to the Dark Side.
I see this result as a just reward for keeping the faith, I must admit I was beginning to doubt, but stuck it through to the end.
I claim no inner knowledge or better analysis than anyone else. I just never expected us to go down. Pretty much blind optimism, really. Vin
We done it... we've ****ing done it. And I thought we were goners. Gabbi you ****ing beautiful man. Hughesie you ****ing beautiful man. Lessons need to be learnt from his however so it never happens again- as great a feeling as tonight is.
I never thought we would either. Not sure why. Just a feeling. Mainly because we had something the others didn’t - better players.
Anyone else think the ref team all sat round before this match and said; 'Make sure we don't screw the Saints tonight, we're in danger of sending them down with decisions.' Never seen so many close calls given one way. Am I tripping? Perhaps its just me, seeing a good ref, doing a job properly that has me confused........
I firmly believe now if we can supported Sparky with the right players, he could achieve great things!
What Hughes has done to the teams spirit and play in 2 months is amazing. Considering the 16 before the club and players slowly had the life sucked out of them.
