If we don't get automatic, the other teams out of Boro, Ipswich and Millwall that also don't make 2nd will be feeling pretty grim at facing us in the playoffs.
It's a weird feeling, confidence. As a Saints fan it is pretty fragile confidence, I think.
Look at our run, our momentum, the fact that we're grinding out wins, easing to wins in 2nd gear. It bodes well...
Surely the embarrassment of losing to that tinpot outfit in that fucking shack of a stadium is enough to induce a malaise so severe that they'll dock themselves 10 points?
Do you remember when someone on here said they preferred Ipswich winning against Norwich in the Derby as they didn't want to face Ipswich in the playoffs? Thought that was a wild comment at the time. (Will) Still do.
Their fans claimed they've been singing OWTS since the 80s?
I was Itchen (for the first time since the 8-0 against Sunderland) and Derby were pretty loud at times.
