Where are all the posters who were loving the unpredictability of the Championship, and saying how much they'd miss it next year? Might have good news for you on those fronts...!
Yep he is now like a gf that has cheated on you with your best mate. Can't even bare looking at him now.
I would just like to retract any positive comments I may have made in the past re Brighton, their supporters, and their manager. S*d the lot of em.
Just seen the West Ham goals. Apparently Poyet isn't the only one hates us. Brezovan in the Brighton goal clearly isn't our biggest fan either. Clown.
Winning a relegation battle 4-3 in the final month of the season, with an injury time winner. Sounds familiar to me. I suspect that, as before, it wont ultimately make any difference though.
After the posts this afternoon, I felt the need to join the forum and put my thoughts in. I totally agree with the above. Although the last 24 hours have knocked our grip on automatic promotion, it only takes a West Ham defeat and a Saints win to make the picture look rosy again. Hopefully that will come about on Tuesday, although I fear that West Ham will be super confident after their result today. I don't want to go into the Boro game level on points with WH, as even a win at the Riverside wouldn't guarantee us promotion with our goal difference. I'm going to try and ignore the situation until Tuesday night. By 10pm it will become a whole lot clearer of what is needed. Not much point speculating in the meantime. I had Sunnyhillboy in the Grand National, who was winning with 100 yards to go - hope I'm not seeing any parallels here. Come on Saints.
Actually me too. Don't want Brissle City relaxing on Tuesday night. Thanks Pompey may just have helped us out there!
Some fair views. I think a little tough if you are unsure on Adkins. For me, he took us from relegation zone to promotion and then iummediately to the brink of promotion again. I rate him. Fox - having a very good delivery is almost a justification for selection on it's own for me. He is a better player I think than you are giving him credit for. He was the Championship Left back of the year for Burnley, so I see why Adkins wanted him. He isn't the best left back, but he is a good player. For the record, we haven't thrown away anything special yet. We get 7 points, we have something very special. Guly has been inconsistent, and Lallana hasn't scored ... true. Would you drop him? I'm not sure of a lack of plan B; he mixes it during a game, if only from a 4-4-2 to a diamond, but that is still changing it. For the record, Lambert went off at 0-0 v Doncaster and we won 2-0... something went right. I'm not saying all is rosey in the garden; but too many negative people want to jump on the bandwagon and criticise. We are where we are, because Adkins and the team have done a good job - fact. If we finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd, then that is still one hell of an achievement. All those who will say, "yes but we were top", then it isn't about 42 games or 36 games, it is about 46. If we finish third after 46 games it is what we deserve and boy, that is still pretty damn impressive for a bunch of nobodies who rely on one good goal scorer, one tricky winger and a hopless, tacticless manager with a squad not fit for this league. Perspective fellas!
I agree to a point but the wheels have come off over the last 5 or so games , before that we were getting lucky , but surely we should be able to close this out , this reminds me of 1984 , no not the book .
Squeaky bum time. Neither West Ham or Southampton have been playing particularly well for the last 2 or 3 months (well, west ham since november really). I thought until today that you're GF would be too great, now I can dream that we might go up automatically and won't get knocked out of the PO's, which is what will happen to the team that ends up 3rd.
