In a way, it's a shame Hull don't still have an outside shot of making the play-offs. I'd take Cardiff in the semi, and if we got through, I'd like Brum in the final. Blackpool should be avoided. They're a very attacking team and far too unpredictable, but as has been said, if we finish third on Saturday, we'll not win the play-offs, although of course we would deserve to...

I too would start Guly. Have De Ridder on the bench, but I suspect Adkins will go for the Cork/Morgan/Deano combination from earlier in the season.

Barts brain fart vs Blackpool. 2 extra points = already up.

As per the live nPC table, I'm confident that there will not be one minute of that 90 when we're in third position. Second's ours, let West Ham have five days of false hope.

You know when you have a nightmare, wake up, and are very relieved it wasn't reality? Saints 1, Coventry 2. I'd better not be having these dreams all week!

I think he meant the score would be 5-1!

Ooh shiny. Looks like a giant silver toilet plunger.

This.... is our play-off final. Only it's not at Wembley, we don't get a trophy for winning and the money's not so good. But still, this is our final. One cup final, two teams that could be two divisions apart next season. We will win. We have to. We will be professional.

Who will kiss away our pain? We're going to win on Saturday. It's obvious. (For the purposes of this thread at least...) So two questions to you - 1) Who do you WANT to be our hero, be it with a MOTM performance or a winning goal or suchlike, and 2) Who do you think WILL be our hero? Any random players? Any non-Saints players? Any manager instead of a player? For me, I would love Jos to be our hero with another goal from a corner. 8 for the season for a centre back would be immense, he'll have earned it. I do however think Sharp will be our hero, he's on a good run of goalscoring form.

West Ham are crud at home. 6-0 wins against ghey people aside... We are at home, against the worst team in the league. Morgan will be back in the starting line up.

Yep. In fact thr £625 I won tonight from West Ham winning is the most money I've ever won ever. So what do I do? Bank it like a sensible person? Nope, re-"invest" it in Saturday's games. I shouldn't be allowed to have money. My wages should be paid to my other half.

Even a double chance bet (Coventry and the Draw) is nearly 3-1. Covers every scenario.

We've spent 4050 minutes of the season (+injury time) in the top two. 90 more should be doable. If we finish in the play-offs, we won't win them, but more worryingly, it will probably affect our form next season.

I'm a frayed knot.

After a decent win from the bookies tonight, I'm having a couple of bets on Saturday's game with my winnings. Saints and West Ham to both win as a double, (for the money), and an insurance bet on a double chance: Coventry win/Draw. Win win. (Even though I'll feel cheap and dirty if the latter happens, I can bathe myself clean in Champagne.) I still think Saints will win, but I've said that on a few occassions this season and it hasn't been true. We all expect Coventry to roll over and die, and as we all know, freak results do sometimes happen. A goal as early as Sharps against Boro should calm a few nerves...

Richer, more ******ed off.

Ooooohhhhhh That was the chance. That was Leicester's chance to draw. Game over now. £625 richer but Peed off. This will be a long week. 4 mins added time. Come on Leicester - penalty please ref!!!

West Ham playing it up to the corner flag. :-(

Sean St Ledger nearly an own goal...

Come on Leicester!!! Ladbrokes, you can keep my £250, just let Leicester SCORE!!!

£625 richer, 100% unhappier.

Probably with less arrogance than the West Ham fans though. Depends how many of their current squad they have left I guess...

Half time. Still deciding whether or not to watch the second half...

Safe hands Kasper.
