They will definately be covering Saints and West Ham games as relegation has been settled. Often when they build it up, it turns out to be a damp squib...Saints will win comfortably and West Ham will get a draw...the media will try to keep excitement going but will never be close (crossed fingers).
My son just e-mailed me a you tube video entitled 40 inspirational speeches in 2 min. Stirs your loins, men of Southampton (and ladies of course). No good at techie stuff...just google title and it comes up.
Here you go Fran tried this on the reading game, and the Brough game... it got me pumped up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6wRkzCW5qI
Well I hate to admit it, I have been positive all season but the nerves are kicking in already. Or is that just excitement Is it Saturday yet? P.s Race you all to the centre circle...
Fat Sam has been on Sky...talked sense. Said they can only do what they have to and hope Coventry can do something...control the controllables in other words. Also described their chances as slim but says they have had a great season anyway. Made me think...Hammers fans have been unhappy because of their expectations whereas we've been happy as we exceeded our wildest expectations, yet here we are facing a last match decider. We can do this, but like Fat Sam said: it's been a good season.
Just to say the entire Norwich board is on your side.Do you realise though that if it ended Hammers 3-0 winners and you drew 0-0 or 4-1 and 1-1 the two of you would be equal on points,GD and goals scored?You would go up on the results between your teams
3.1 with 2 goals in first half (Lambert, Sharp), a quick Sharp goal after half-time and a late consolation goal for Coventry because SKD is waving to the crowd.
A 2-0 Saints win I reckon...but I will putting my money on Coventry with West Ham win and Draw with West Ham win so I have money to buy alcohol for any depression that may set in.
What a strange, exciting, nailbiting, tense, exuberant past few years we've had. That the last game of this season is loaded with meaning & potential is fantastic - I'm sure my nerves would've preferred it if we'd wrapped up promotion a few games back but such is life; the excitement is brilliant. So pleased I have tickets for the game - can't wait to bathe in the atmosphere.
I think West Ham will go hell for leather on Saturday and will either take their chances and win 3-1 or leave themselves open at the back and lose 2-1. In contrast, we will be very nervous early on and will draw 1-1 or get over it and win 4-0. I don't want to tempt fate but I just can't see us losing. We score goals in nearly every game and to concede more than 1 goal against Coventry at home would be pretty uncharacteristic. 5 points clear with 2 games to go - only Saints could do this to us, hopefully no one will be complaining come 2.30pm on Saturday. It will be like my driving test, GCSE's, A Levels, end of year exams at Uni, having sex for the first time, driving on a motorway for the first time, going abroad on your own for the first time, needing the toilet at a funeral - basically all the things that make somebody very nervous, all at once.
I was actually torn between cork and de ridder on the right. Think we need de ridder on to keep the crowd on our side. When steve is on the crowd gets excited and supportive. When guly is on or when cork plays on the right, the crowd disagrees and gets agitated, which builds the pressure on the team even more. Saturday will not be a test of how good a team we are cos we are a far better team than Coventry. It will depend on how well the team copes with the pressure and with the crowd on side it will be easier
Ummmmm .... not true,actually. Either of those scenarios would see WHam promoted in second place. WHam are 3 goals worse than us in GD but only 2 goals worse in goals scored. So for our results against WHam to come into play WHam need to win 3-0 and we would have to draw 1-1 (or 4-1 and 2-2 ,etc etc) It's all academic as we are going to batter Coventry ............
