Yorkshire Saint Posted 2 May, 2016 Share Posted 2 May, 2016 Do we want Spuds to win today or lose today .... They win, they have to go for it against us no matter what and it plays in to our counter attacking plan aka yesterday. They lose, season is over, there starting 11 is weaker but as we well know Poch will have them well drilled to stop us with less impetuous on win win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncanRG Posted 2 May, 2016 Share Posted 2 May, 2016 Not sure it matters, really. They're not the type of team to give up and coast their way to the end of the season, and if they lose the league tonight they'll want to go and prove themselves next time I'm sure. The more interesting question is whether our attacking three from yesterday will be half as effective in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 2 May, 2016 Share Posted 2 May, 2016 Chelsea win or a draw, either is fine, as long as the title race is over. Injury or suspension for Kane and/or Toby would be handy too. Not bothered about Chelsea catching us, if they do it means we've almost definitely missed out on Europe anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW5 SAINT Posted 2 May, 2016 Share Posted 2 May, 2016 Want them to lose today on every score. I'd rather Chelsea caught us, than spurs win the league. Anyway I always think European matches are a hinderance for clubs like Southampton. Though mind it would be sweet, if it were Saints that put the final nail in that coffin of spurs winning the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 2 May, 2016 Share Posted 2 May, 2016 Draw is the best result as Chelsea will not have enough points to catch us they technically still can Hadn't previously considered the implications regarding Chelsea so if so, a draw is the preferred result. With spurs suffering a few injuries and suspensions. Perhaps Hiddink could knee Poch in the balls as well, or maybe leave it to Erwin on Sunday.* * Ron is far too civilised and a gentleman to resort to this.

david in sweden Posted 2 May, 2016 Share Posted 2 May, 2016 (edited) I do not like the word "hate", but my precise feelings about Spurs ...might send me searching my dictionary for a suitable synonym. For many (younger) fans, this is the next game against the second place club that we want to win in order to have a chance to qualify for Europa League. For many of my generation, games against Spurs have been a catalogue of defeats and despair and uncompromising insults from an arrogant fan base. I've seen Saints defeated by Liverpool, whose fans comiserated with us for trying hard, and Man Utd fans who admitted we played well, but still lost. However, the memories that comes from, what Rupert Lowe once called, ..." those North London yobbos " has stuck in my craw for generations. They have scre*ed us in nearly every transfer deal for the last 50 years, and laughed at us in their arrogance. A win next weekend will, for me, rate far above the wins against Man City, United, Liverpool and Chelsea - even if we don't qualify for Euro League. There ....RANT OVER !

adrian lord Posted 2 May, 2016 Share Posted 2 May, 2016 Tottenham looked like broken men after the WBA match, many were close to tears - they knew it was in effect all over.

It doesn't matter if Spurs win, lose or draw tonight, it will have little impact on our game as you can argue a different case for every scenario. The result of tonight's game isn't taken from a vote on here, it will happen regardless of what we want, so then why not want a Saints win at White Heart Lane that stops Spurs winning the league. We carry on with our last minute dash to beat last seasons tally and we stop Potchitinno and the Spurs fans getting the big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint137 Posted 2 May, 2016 Share Posted 2 May, 2016 Post of the week and exactly my sentiments. Me too. I think because my first strong memories of a season are the First Div promotion season and that last game at The Dell where we seemed to roll over and do them a favour, and throughout the 80s we never seemed to win against them, often on Boxing Day/New Years Day. And then there's Ronnie ****ing Rosenthal and them nicking Bale. And the shame of siding with Lowe over his North London Yobbos comment. So yeah, victory against Chelsea tonight please so we have a chance at derailing their dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 2 May, 2016 Share Posted 2 May, 2016 Ideally Spurs win tonight, Leicester beat Everton Saturday night to win the league and Spuds are devastated when they play us less than 24 hrs later and don't give a toss Will be a tough match whatever but if WBA can get a draw there bloody sure we can win playing well.

way down south Posted 2 May, 2016 Share Posted 2 May, 2016 I think it would be perfect and fitting for us to effectively sh*t on their title chances, but just adding to their misery after they lost the fight would be just as good tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintTex Posted 2 May, 2016 Share Posted 2 May, 2016 draw 01) Spurs lose the title / Leicester Champions 02) Secures third straight Top 8 finish for us 03) easiest path to 6 more points and a possible European chance However, for pure promotional value and optics, I am sure the League and media want a Spurs win today and Saturday. There isn't much excitement or pageantry seeing Leicester secure the title from their couch. ...and that would be neat to see a title clinching moment/celebration on the pitch, but better safe than sorry, I will be rooting for Spurs not to win tonight.

I can still remember 1978 when they held us to a draw on the last day of the season, denying Southampton the old Div 2 title. The fact that they needed the point to get promoted is by the by.
