Any lads on the raz in Boro should go to the Empire club - quality. Otherwise, head in to Yarm for some pretentious pints.

It'll be in Reading because Reading will win it.

If we don't go up next season will be difficult and will probably be the one we were supposed to have this season. Not getting promoted this year after being in the top two will be a significant phsycological blow from which we may never recover from. I've written off any chance of winning the play offs so it's promotion or bust.

Oh no, better tell the Internet!

I'm usually pretty spot on with my gut feelings and I don't think Saints will lose this one, but I'm bricking it at the thought of Jobi McAnuff playing. He usually scores against us.

While I'm enjoying the complementary article, I'd love to read an equally praising piece from someone who doesn't have ties to Southampton. Jeremy's articles are good, but they are always going to be since he's a former Echo journalist and presumably a Saints fan. He even wrote the Cult Heroes book.

This thread is more fun than playing Dig Dug on my old IBM PC (pronounced eebumpook). #phonejacker.

Maybe this question has been asked already but has there been a team in recent history to achieve this feat?

The players have to believe. Win on Friday and West Ham lose to Brighton (it's possible) then we are as good as up. The pressure would be off as we go for the title. This is the most important 90 minutes of their careers so far.

Lansbury on for Maynard. In Big Sam we trust.

All well and good spouting all this mumbo jumbo but we are not going to win today. Hashtag psychic.

We were never going to beat Blackpool on their turf. It's not about the pitch being a bit rubbish or the players not turning up, it was a predetermined astral event. It was written in the stars (a million miles away).

Silver Spoon.

I think this thread will be redundant come Saturday night.

Think of something then, silver plums.

Quality - definitely should be the new chant.

Hey patred, you might want to re-read most of the comments on this thread, particularly ones just minutes after Warnock's comments: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?36235-Leeds-0-V-Saints-1-Post-match-Chat!

Hope they aren't making plans for Nigel.

Think we'll lose. Tadanari Lee will score, though.

I think Adkins should be handed the England post so Harry can make his return to St Mary's. He has unfinished business here, IMO.

Sickener. What's going wrong, Saints?

I will rue the day they ban aubergines from football grounds.

When was the last time a Saints comeback was shown on TV? Adkins needs to be showing our second half capitulation against Tranmere for inspiration.
