    It really isn't. That game was win or go down. This game isn't that.

    It doesn’t carrry the same level of importance as Swansea for me. That was the penultimate game of the season with Man City to follow... it was a must win game.

    This is an important game and I think we will win it, however if we don’t, it leaves us only one point from safety with a further 12 games to go. That’s 36 points to play for.

    Win and we’re not safe.
    Lose and we’re not down.

    Yes, it would be a little more comfortable if we win, but fans have to hold it together no matter what happens and keep strong support for the team to the end.


    This isn’t a must win game.

    It isn't a must-win, but we could really use it. Playing three teams in the relegation mini-league and failing to get a win certainly wouldn't consign us to the drop zone, but it would make our task markedly harder.

    It wasn't quite so easy to get carded back then.

    “Launched the savoury pastry” :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Mrs S can’t believe anyone would throw away a pie and suggests the court apply a concurrent 3 year savoury pastry banning order

    That’d learn em!

    Haven't had a pie at a football match since nearly losing my eyebrows when I bit into one at St Marys....one at that temperature would produce life-changing burns. :)

    Mark Dennis could easily get carded in first minute & I’m pretty sure he did.

    Was at the Milton Riad end when we played PFC & there was a couples Skates in our end. They scored & gave it a bit large & one of the Saints smashed a meat pie onto the side of his face. Sorry but was quite funny. Shut him / them up albeit moaning that the gravy had burnt his face! <laugh>

    Always makes me laugh that you buy a bottle of water from the concourse and they remove the lid as "it can be used as a missile", but then they sell coffee and bovril (with a sippy lid) that could scar someone for life if you launched it. I know as I still have the scar from my coffee on my hand form 3 years ago.

    Swansea was in May. We’re only in February now. So I don’t think there’s anything like the same amount riding on this one.

    Mark Dennis was capable of getting carded for just a look.

    What a player though when he wasn’t fighting or kicking the sh1t out of people.

    She was ! ive seen the pair of them out on the town ! when they got divorced Dennis got custody of their daughter which speaks volumes about his missus. Think he was sent off 12 times in total, but as FLT says what a left back.
