The battle to avoid the Premiership continues.
I’d argue Middlesbrough and Blackburn… then the Ipswich game would’ve mattered far, far less
Blackburn was a poor result but we didn’t choke it in the last min, Ipswich weren’t gaining any ground on us, that 1 goal changed it to 3 points.
Yeah but Blackburn are ****ing atrocious. Ipswich are good (especially at home).
(Just edited my previous post).
You are right that Blackburn should be a win on paper.
If we win all of our remaining games we end up on 96 points. That will mean Leeds maximum points haul will also be 96 and Leicester's 97. Still all to play for.
I get the renewed hope that some people will have - it's only natural. The top three are suddenly doing their best to keep us involved. If we win 6 out of 6, we would "only" need Leeds to draw one other match and Leicester to draw one other match.
But, spoiler alert, I'm afraid we won't be winning 6 out of 6.

It's very, very unlikely I accept but I'd rather cling on to that last bit of hope than watch the remaining games thinking they're completely meaningless. I do think the games fall in such a way that it is possible to win all 6. We've got 2 home games in a row to start and then Cardiff away. Neither Watford or Cardiff have anything to play for. Preston will be tricky but it's a game we should win. Should we win all 3 then suddenly we've got momentum and the teams above us could start to really panic.
**** sake, you lot. Could you please have a bit more faith in Lemon Laces.
Because it's a double-header thread, it doesn't just have the power to turbocharge Saints, it also curses the other teams. I mean, really, do you need ALL the thread secrets spelled out for you!?

Anyone else notice that all the other teams have had games they really should have won/drawn. It's not just us. (Though, granted, we've had some spectacularly annoying ones).
But it only happens in Saintsworld. Really, honestly. All the other teams never lose or draw. I can show you stats and stuff.

Blackburn ****ed us as well. Those 3 results were rather underwhelming (don’t want to upset anyone …. in particular).

ok, I was overly optimistic about the chokers
1. Saints 96
2. Leicester 92
3. Ipswich 92
4. Leeds 92
As you posted I was in the midst of claiming that I must have cursed Leicester by predicting them to still go up. But it looks like they don't need the help. What the f*ck is going on there? 10 points in 10 games!!
Can't just be tactics, got to be more to it behind the scenes.

I'm up early, looking for fresh Newt's eyes and Frog tongues. People on here naiively assume that the Lemons Laces behemoth currently trundling down the road towards autos only affects Saints games. After last night, we've finally identified our true colours - between Laces and I, we can influence anything/everything in the footballing world. Sometimes shaking your fists at clouds does work. That, and selling your soul for a promotion.
In Horse racing parlance, Leicester, Ipswich and Leeds will all have four (more) Devon Loch-type finishes, whilst Saints will come through on the rails, and win by a nose in a photo finish
