    Ohhhh. Imagine the play off final at Wembley v Pompey. Last minute Arma winner and 40,000 Saints fans bouncing to Freed from Deisire once again.

    Bring it on.

    No you're twisting it now. I've read it back and he started on the wind up before anyone threw any insults around.

    I’d far rather we went up as winners.

    And besides, I’d probably have glassed most of the Pompey fans on the train on the way up there.

    But in **** times like now, just imagine that. Beating Pompey at Wembley in the last minute to get promoted.

    If Carlsberg did Play off finals......

    Yeah definitely not a shock result but I think we're all reaching a level of fatigue with this ****e at the moment so feeling more than a bit sorry for ourselves is to be expected. That was still harsh though mate, he wasn't having a pop at the geordie personally just his team.

    Your sentiments are nice but as you say, only time will tell. For me, their tenureship to date has been poor. I like Solak making senior management changes as that hopefully indicates he accepts there’s been issues but that doesn’t proven zilch. The next 6m even 12 will tell us a lot more. Fingers x’d for me but I’m not convinced.

    With any luck though they just might slip away to D1!! Ironic if it’s Derby that provides the opening for such an outcome by staying up, despite their current situation.

    The pressure would kill me. With my lifestyle choices and now I'm knocking on a bit I'd end up having a clutcher in the 88th minute! <laugh>

    I'd genuinely rather play Real Madrid in an important game.

    Their home form is too good for them to go down imo.

    Also, in what way would that be luck if they go down?! I'll be gutted if they go down now tbh.

    Play them in league absolutely! Would be great if they stayed up, just not a final of any description. Even if the football gods offered me a 90% chance of winning I wouldn't want it. That's without even thinking about taking my boy!

    I'm with you mate. Part of me makes me think it'd be incredible occasion but I know how much the last cup tie affected me with my adrenaline/sleep etc not sure I could handle the build up, especially whilst being sober <laugh>

    Winning it would probably be the greatest ever day we can realistically have but I couldn't even imagine losing a game like that against them.

    For such a fair ref, you're incredibly biased, Tom.

    He didn't insult anyone at all. The first 'wind up' comment he made was "cry some more", after Shandy said something about being proud of supporting murderous despots, and being entitled whingebags etc

    His comment was fully justified as a response.

    Do you disagree about the penalty call by the way?

    Spot on. It’s absolutely **** & we are exactly where we deserve to be. Bottom with 6 points end Jan & going for record lowest points ever. Solak has ****ed up. His money but it’s our our team. The management he put in place or accepted have truly undelivered.

    I genuinely haven't seen it which is why I haven't said one way or the other.

    Well that was bloody awful I thought. Way too many players playing it safe with the passing. Very little movement off the ball. Just all a bit meh. Bree and manning are clearly not good enough for this level. Ugo was good as was Fernandez. The ref was ****ing awful but I think pen was the correct call

    Called the guy a moron, his city a sh*thole, and his club despicable. It's a bit having a pop, isn't it?

    Anyway whatever.
