Just seen a tweet on Echo site saying if 2 higher ranked teams lose tonight then us and Hammers will have to draw lots for seeding So does that mean we need 3 higher ranked to lose to be guaranteed of a seeding? Looking at the ties are there any possiblities? I saw someone do a write up the other day but can't find it and at work. Though surely West Ham could be one of the teams to go out and help us?
No, no, no. Stuff of nightmares. I have the camapign medals for that Watford game and Tranmere. I do really have the programmes from both games and come across them every now and again. Stark reminder of how crap life can be being a Saints fan. For younger readers, those 7 Watford goals went past Peter Shilton - arrggh! Not tonight, Josephine. Get that fat lady gargling.
Sampdoria are almost guaranteed to lose. They are 4-0 down and now play away. Need just two more then to lose.
Can I suggest before the question is asked, that you try Sportsmania.eu for feeds tonight. I've just taken out six months of membership for £26 - the quality is terrific, they have excellent customer service if you have a problem and they cover every sporting event I've ever looked for, so you're pretty much guaranteed cover if a match is on TV anywhere at all. I know there are free feeds but you do get what you pay for and 50p a week is not a great deal to fork out. Vin
Sampdoria, Trabzonspor and Guimaraes are all trailing. Trabzonspor I feel have a good chance of coming back though - they have a decent squad and the match tonight is in Trabzon... Liberec are also away in Israel, they're 2-1 up but if they lose 1-0 they're out. I think there's definitely a strong chance of results going our way.
West Ham have taken a weakened side to their 2nd leg despite being 2-2 (having let in 2 of those important away goals), so may not be an issue. The Daily Mail was contrasting the attitude of us and the Hammers to the Europa. Ronald said he can't understand that as he says it would be a wasted opportunity.
Had a look at the scorelines on bbc and if we win tonight there is quite agood chance of us sneeking into the seeded teams. A few of the CL drop outs are below us.
Ta! Used to be active on here a while back, unfortunately I seem unable to login with my old account... thought I'd sign back up in time for our European journey

Make sure to click the little speaker in the top left... Is there a game or is this just a giant friendly piss-up?!
Yes, looking at that clip, if I was there I'm not sure I'd bother going to the game even if I had a ticket! Sell mine for £50 and retire to the pub for the evening.
