    I agree with st brendy. I have a feeling we are going to lose. But it isn't the end of the world.

    To Conky. Could You Please Try Not To Put A Capital Letter At The Start Of Every Word. It's Quite Distracting When You Read It, If You Get Me. <ok> lol

    Fair play to BHA for the Title but we've got to win, just to show them whos the Daddy in this league (dispite the points difference)

    in my opinion, every team Saints played gave their all, as we were the favourites for leagues 1, Brighton didnt have that early on in the season (maybe im just biased)

    Providing we do not freeze we should do alright. We have the players to beat them but it is going to be a tough old game. I do not like putting scorelines down but reckon it will be a draw. Folks this is going to the wire. That disallowed goal at Charlton and that dreadful result at Walsall have a part to play yet............

    I have a feeling that none of the teams fighting for second place will win this weekend. Hopefully Terriers lose as I have a nasty feeling that we will as well.

    2 nil to Saints :smile:

    I think we've got the team to beat them, and the best away scoring record in the division.

    Onwards and upwards <laugh>

    I really can't see us doing it. They have alot to play for and I think the April congestion of games is starting to bite. Also, I know we are on a good run at the moment I don't think we are playing very well

    As a neutral, i think that it is important for you to match Hudersfields points tally for the next two games. If you do then i think you will go up...

    Your goal difference could prove huge...

    I've said for a while now that if we're in 2nd place come 5pm on Easter Monday, then promotion is ours. We'd have just 3 games left, and Huddersfield and Posh would require to to slip up in at least 2 of them - throw in the fact that Hudders would still have to go to Brighton, and they could even require us to slip up in all 3.

    This Easter weekend has to be where Hudders and Posh make their move.

    All three teams have a tricky game and could drop points. A win could put us in a very very strong posituon

    To be honest, i dont think you will win, i think you would need to be at full strenth really, but Huddersfields game is also very very difficult..... Peterboro i think are out of the race.....

    I think if Huddersfield win, then the pressure on you lot will be huge...

    Poyet says we can win 10 - 0 Saturday, but that wouldn't make us the best team in the League! I like he cut of his jib, his statement is of the obvious variety but is bound to stir a few WUMs up, and I am not sure of Nigel Adkins reaction. After all what NA said earlier this season appears to have spurred the Seagulls on to their success. 10 nil! Well we can all have our fantasies can't we?

    Au contraire...if we win 10 nil we will be the best team in the league. And Brighton fans will have an apoplexy. I think any result is possible but think we may nick it by 1 or 2 goals because we need it more. All season we have been creating 10-15 shots on target but only scoring 1 or 2; this is the game to convert those chances.

    A 10-0 victory for us might not make any difference to Brighton's season, but it certainly will to ours - and that's all I care about. Poyet can go on about how far ahead they are of the rest, and that they've already wrapped up the title, as much he wants - it makes no difference to me. I'm only concerned about what Saints do.

    Congratulations Poyet, you and your team have had a fantastic season. But I really don't care that a 10-0 thrashing doesn't do anything for your league position. I'm a Saints fan, and it would go a million miles towards securing us promotion.

    If we get a draw, it'll be a point gained rather than two lost. Once the Brighton game is out of the way, can't see any reason why we shouldn't win the last four games which should be enough to see us up.

    Keep the Faith
