****! Now I am even more nervous. I can't imagine the final whistle going on Tuesday night and me jumping around my office (will be at work). I can only imagine despair of what could've been. Saints have been serving up night like these for years (Sheva, Sheff Utd, Sunderland, Prague away, Inter away, not to mention some of those classic **** ups in the 1990s like Norwich scoring in 120+ while we were down to 9 men, Chesterfield, Stockport...ugh!).

That hurt to read. So easy to imagine too.

Not confident at all. We usually **** up these big matches. The most Saintsly way will be to blow a 2-0 lead at Swansea and draw 2-2. That’ll string us along until Sunday. Days/nights of wondering what’ll happen, posts of “could we beat City”, “if Huddy can draw at their place...” and “funny feeling we’ll win this one”, followed by a tonking by City and Swansea squeaking by us with a last minute dodgy penalty vs Stoke.

Still can’t read and comprehend simple sentences eh? Still following me around? Go be a massive bellend somewhere else please!

That old **** was probably looking at a fish tank thinking it was the TV.

We can cry about handballs refs and stoppage time but if we get relegated the blame lies squarely on Les Reed. To dither so long with MoPe and even sanction a $20M transfer when all we needed was to pay off MoPe and get in Hughes in January.

That trophy celebration looks utterly lame.

Ottamendi, no fluky deflections there then.

I bet City don’t play this ****ty on the last day. ****s!

So the Huddy not getting another point theory has fallen at the first hurdle.

I would say that those that you listed were not why we go down. Dreary ****ty draws vs Huddy, Brighton, Swansea and all those crappy teams will be what sunk us.

Ffs. This is just ****ing typical.

Star Wars quote I think. The little dude with the hair and pointy ears.

At the Heisen-bet pretend betting shop of course. ***cheeky insurance bet placed

Redmond did pretty well but we were crying out for him to take a pop with his left and after Yodhida went off he did just that (forced a save) but ironically it was probably an ideal situation to cut in and curl right footed into the corner. Hughsey has him and Tadic playing much better, too bad the board shilly shallied until March to bring him in.

I know they’d never change it but I wonder how much time the ball is actually in play. Say it’s 60 minutes of the 90, a 2x30minute game with the clock stopping when the ball goes out would eliminate the guessing during added time. Just musing here. The suspense probably adds to the game but it’s easy to feel hard done to when they seem to go until a big team scores or blow up early when a favoured team is ahead.

It’s weird isn’t it. Football clubs are a business and you could lose a lot of money due to a corrupt ref.

Hopefully we win and don’t need anything vs City. Remember the last time, each day leading up I’d think, nah we’re down, then the next day, maybe we could do it, bit of magic, next day, but realistically we’ll lose...torture

Don’t forget Redkrapps first game 2-0 up and in injury time before an own goal, and a Downng wonderstrike.

No sleep til Swansea Can’t take much more of this. Knowing Saints we’ll draw and then go 1 up on City and Stoke 1 up on Swans. Then news will filter through that Swans equalized and we’ll ship 2 late goals to City, the last one, punched in by the referee at 90+10 while 2 City players are sitting on McCarthy.

Ref played on until Sterling winner too.

I guess time zones are beyond your feeble aging brain.

They didn’t take the free kick from the spot if the alleged foul. They just punted it from 10yards further forward with Redmond and Long out of position.

Prat.

He let them take it out of position. Long and Remond would have had time to regroup as would the midfield. Also, vital seconds would have ebbed off the clock when they were made to go back 10 yards to retake.
