Hindsight. It's wonderful.

My heart couldn't take it. We'd all end up in different rows by the end of the celebrations.

Definitely. Despite Norwich and Swansea's success, constantly comparing ourselves to them will do us no good. It's not where I think we'll finish but I'd happily take it now. It means survival in the Premier League in our first season, so why not?

It will whenever we play the first big team.

Not sure if this was the same one as the other day but: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INFCh7TaVZI

But true. Fairly normal kick-off times most weekends and the person sitting next to me not getting up to go the toilet every 3 minutes or actually knowing who the players are.

Behave.

Anyone find that video that was on here and on youtube of the FT reaction from that game?

The whole of March appears to be missing but it's still a good video.

That Van Persie fella's out of contract.....

"Play the game and not the occasion. Get the early goal. COME ON YOU REDS!"

Naked apart from a red wig.

In all seriousness, Saturday day time looks okay for Southampton, with further rain likely in the evening. Tomorrow's (Thursday) is meant to be the worst day for rain.

After various injuries, Jaidi comes on from the bench on 90 minutes with the scores level at 1-1 and West Ham winning 4-0. He picks the ball up in his own half in the 96th minute and instead of punting it forward, takes it past 8 Coventry players before smashing the hardest shot ever seen against the crossbar. It bounces down onto the left post, bounces up along the line to hit the right and hits Guly in the face, going in the net to send us absolutely mental..... ...because he's offside.

He's a big player for us. He might not have the final product, but he's always involved and we look much more like scoring when he plays. He went off against Reading and went onto lose, same yesterday.

I really doubt that it'll matter that we're on the tv or not for this one. It's such a big game that all the attention will be on us either way - so it'll make no difference to the players. It shouldn't be an excuse anyhow. COYR.

When the team wins, nobody can moan about stuff on the pitch - so they moan about the stuff off it that doesn't matter. The Guly threads will re-appear again if we lose on Saturday.

They'll be well and truely down by then.

Officially we did yes, but the goal difference swing was so massive that it was essentially wrapped up at Plymouth, hence the non-totally-bonkers invasion v Walsall which was more a party atmosphere.

Last year's one against Walsall kinda felt false as everyone knew we were already up, whereas it's looking likely that this year that we may well need a result on the final day to win promotion - so no anti-climax and pure joy! It's inevitable really, so there's no point stopping it.

We have some pessimistic fans but you top them all. Let's hope none of the players read this bed-wetting drivel. I also hope that no supporter like you is at Peterborough on Tuesday. The players need support, not tension that they're going to choke, because then they actually will. Stop actually wanting us to fail. It was the same with you last season and the same again. TOGETHER AS ONE (not that you'd believe it reading this forum).

Can people just calm the f*ck down and not post things in the heat of defeat? We will need 5/6 new signings if we go up. Everybody knows that. Reading took their chances tonight and pounced on 3 mistakes we made. I doubt Allardyce is laughing his balls off, pressure is on them to go and win tomorrow. 2 wins out of 3 and we're up. Take a deep breath, accept that we lost to a good team and get behind the team from now on.

I moan about what other fans are wearing because it really puts me off the football.

Diddums.

On the TV on a Friday night or not, surely it has to sell out? Biggest game in years in the context of things.
