Aren't there 6,000 or so this week who are skint, have surprise birthday parties to go to, not bothering because it's on telly, put off by the early kick off, the weather forecast is bad, there is a tube strike, the A27 was shut today, got holidays to pay for, it's bank holiday in 2 weeks time, missus has arranged for themto do something else etc etc?

I'm sure the players do. On several occasions this season some of them have looked a bit annoyed at putting in a great performance only to see a half empty stadium at the final whistle. The Middlesoborugh and Birmigham games stick in my mind for this.

Good timing. We haven't had a Rickie For England thread for a month or so.

Why? He's done nothing since he's been back. SDR has done nothing for 6 months and his few decent moments have come from the bench, surely that should tell you something. The only choice is Guly and if he isn't playing brilliant after 3 minutes the usual morons will be on his back.

it would be hilarious if it was. All the lemons on here that are close to nervous breakdowns already having to wait a few extra days.

not being able to hold leads 3 times against a team who were later to be relegated.

and we'd be top two all season and fail to make the top two due to giving away a 5 point lead in two games and a better goal difference and then lose at home to the worst away team in the country who have already been relegated in our last home game. So i beg to differ.

Rubbish. 2 games left and 5 points clear of third with a better goal difference and a team already relegated with the worst away record in the divsion to play at home on the last day. That would be far worse than anything Cardiff have done.

I wonder how many people will be leaving on 85 minutes to beat the traffic on saturday....

i am devestated. However the report is wrong, it was saturday the 28th April 1984. Check you're calendars. and this link says 28th as well http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/team_by_team_analysis/1983_1984/southampton/index.shtml * wipes brow and breaths sigh of relief at superfan credibility reinstatement *

at what?

If we blow it now it will be the biggest choking since Tennessee Williams.

Yeah i've just noticed it, bo*locks. When i googled Southampton 8 Coventry 2 it definitely came up with the 28th though FFS. Wiki says its the 28th as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983%E2%80%9384_Southampton_F.C._season

I hope it's Guly, to shut all you moaning c*nts up.

1984, 28 years to the day, this happened. For those that believe in omens isn't this as good as it gets? http://uk.soccerway.com/matches/1984/04/28/england/premier-league/southampton-fc/coventry-city-fc/570875/

I am amazed anybody expected anything else. I didn't hear anyone saying the same things about Peterborough and Palace when we cruised to victory against teams which did little more than turn up, just like Leicester.

Because the foam hand waving happy clappy delerium on here defies belief sometimes. I honesty think a lot of you think the players rip off their SFC duvet cover, open their SFC curtains in their Saints pyjamas and thank god how lucky they are to play for us every morning. I dont doubt a lot of players are happy here at the moment, why wouldn't they be? But like most players if a better offer came along they'd take it.

I thought Drinkwater played well for them as well. A truely awful player.

It seems like Solentstars is........

no i was there.

those that sat in the pub or at home watching it on the telly bemoaning that it was "too much hassle" should do, yes.

Yes they did. just because no one says anything to you you scruff.

Like i said above. Italians doing things with class and style. What would our angry fans have done; Squirted them in the eye with their "comedy" flower on their clown suit?

The two Middlesborough lads i was chatting to on the way up couldn't speak highly enough about how well dressed we all were. I'm sure they weren't saying the same at the clowns and gimp suits.

5 points clear and a better goal difference with 2 games left and home game against an already relegated team? I'd say that would take some topping.
