I'm glad to see people putting bets on a West Ham win! Either the bookies will take a raping tonight or we'll be celebrating promotion! I'm tempted to add to my £250 bet actually, so sure that I am that West Ham will win tonight...

Me too. Stand to win a small fortune (for me) if West Ham win - but I couldn't give a stuff about the money so long as Leicester win or draw. YES, it would be nice for us to have to win it at St Marys on Saturday, but I'd be much more comfortable (and there'd be a much better party atmosphere for you lucky lot going) if West Hams challenge ended tonight. While Leicester haven't got anything to play for, I still think they'd want to play this game as if they were the title favourites that they were at the start of the season. The two biggest underachievers in the league fighting it out to see if the biggest overachievers can get promoted! I'll be watching.

Our favourite Saints to be promoted on the day of our favourite Saint. (Besides plastic paddys.)

He's showing the reason why I would never want MLT anywhere near the Saints managerial hotseat. A once club legend potentially ridiculed in the press? No thanks. Liverpool are shocking, I'm hoping Norwich finish above them. (For my missus's sake of course...) That said, if they do go on and win the FA Cup, which is very doable, their season would actually have been rather good!

I genuinely felt sorry for him when i saw his post match interview. He was very emotional and was desperately fighting to hold back the tears, all while the reporter kept going with the questions. He obviously cares very much for the club. Kudos to the Wolves fans though, according to TalkSport they were in high spirits and singing about Barnsley. I guess they've had a few weeks to come to terms with their fate though. I do still wonder whether they'd have had a chance with McCarthy still in charge. Funny, because at the start of the season, when they signed Johnson, I tipped them to stay up. Shows what I know.

1) Lambert. ...scroll down, scroll down... a distant second... 2) Jos 3) Lallana

Lambert's signings have been quality lower league players - he really has an eye for players that can make it in the Prem from the lower leagues. If we go up, Adkins will need to prove he can make the signings that will push us on to the next level as, and I know we all love him, Cortese won't wait too long before bringing in someone with Premier League experience IMO. (Although Adkins has more than earned his right to manage us at that level.)

Championship team: Kelvin Davis (Southampton), Nathaniel Clyne (Crystal Palace), James Tomkins (West Ham), Curtis Davies (Birmingham), Ian Harte (Reading), Adam Lallana (Southampton), Peter Whittingham (Cardiff), Mark Noble (West Ham), Matt Phillips (Blackpool), Rickie Lambert (Southampton), Jay Rodriguez (Burnley). There's a few we could pilfer from there if we go up but congratulations to our three, especially Kelvin. I'm sceptical of how well he will do if we go up but I'd give him at least half a season to prove he's still good enough. (That is unless we make one hell of a keeper signing in the summer...) I see Ched Evans made the League One TOTY...

This. Could be all over on Monday, supping some vino at home whilst watching the Leicester/West Ham game, and cheering Leicester on. (Knowing I win £625 for a West Ham win will be small comfort if it happens.)

A few games ago, in the "games remaining" thread I think it was, I believe I remarked we could be going up but on goal difference. I still think that could be the case, but despite our patchy form I think we have it in our tank to defeat a deflated Coventry side, at home, and with a carnival atmosphere from the fans behind us. Anywho, Leicester will be no pushovers, despite the fact they have nothing to play for - I'm hoping for a boring 0-0 in that game, but I've backed West Ham for the consolation money anyway.

Nah I have covered my bases but I get your point. I'm behind Leicester all the way on Monday - money is fleeting. (Plus I've won quite a bit more than I've lost this season anyway...)

£250 gets me £625. That'll pay the last installments for my wedding in June. Done.

Might want Birmingham/Reading for the party atmosphere.

Rule One.

The most money I can afford to lose in my life is about £1000. Putting that on a West Ham win gets me £2500. West Ham failing to win loses me £1000 but guarantees we're back in the big time. It's a fricking massive decision to make - I'm sorely tempted. Perhaps not a grand, but an amount that would make it worthwhile. 6/4 on Ladbrokes. If ever there was a game to bet on as it's seemingly no lose for us, it's Monday night's game...

God knows what our odds were on blowing promotion before tonight's game, 5 points clear and with a better goal difference. Even a draw would have been a good result. I'm going to be ****ting my pants over the next week. Leicester - you get us up and I'll genuinely have you down as my third team.

Come on Saints!

I'd say it will ruin his career, but even if he serves the maximum time he'll only be 28 when he gets out, and as we've seen from Lee Hughes his career can be salvaged. It's Sheffield United he's truly screwed over.

Pringles. Delicious crisps and useful anal dildo container all in one.

Woosh

Anton (and his brother Denis) were in my year at school, and both are very nice, decent people. It's ben said however that their father has links to the Russian mafia. http://www.rumafia.com/person.php?id=204 I doubt it would affect Anton's chances of taking the club over though. Reading could be going places. Let's hope we remain the biggest club in the south of England. :-)

At home, 2 hours after the final whistle.

Good organisation. In the likely event Saints end up in the play-offs, we'll be regretting not having the same planning foresight as West Ham.

You're not wrong... I had to do the same thing with the Reading match, and sped it up x2 whilst singing the Benny Hill theme tune, to keep things interesting!

Win tomorrow for us and we can laugh all the way through that game, while still routing for Leicester out of spite. :-D
