sussexsaint Posted 20 June, 2011 Share Posted 20 June, 2011 We will win, its time to shake off the jinxes of the past and move forward -We can'ty lose everytime we are on TV that certainly won't do when we are in the champions league now will it I remember us playing Leicester on the opening day of the season once on the TV, SKP scored a cracker ( I may have dreamed this though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 20 June, 2011 Author Share Posted 20 June, 2011 The Coventry vs Leicester "derby" at 12:30 is the other TV game that weekend for the Football League. Possibly could also be a Friday night game, like there was last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints_is_the_south Posted 20 June, 2011 Share Posted 20 June, 2011 Anyone who thinks we still have the "sky curse" is clueless. Indeed, and the "sky curse" actually just coincided with us being crap anyway so no big deal really. Don't think we've done too bad on TV recently as my memory recalls, beat Sheff Wed 2-0 last season, won 3 JPT games on Sky this season before that.

Crazy Diamond Posted 20 June, 2011 Share Posted 20 June, 2011 Yet another of our fixtures on the opening day is being televised. I really wish they'd give it a rest.

Lighthouse Posted 20 June, 2011 Share Posted 20 June, 2011 Just how many games do we have to win on Sky before mongs stop monging on about the "Sky curse". It seems like every time we win a game on Sky people ignore it. Then after a few good results we get one defeat and it's "ooooh the sky curse again". Some of our fans are a bunch of druids. There is no "first game of the season curse" either it's just a combination of tough away games and opponents being cagey and not wanting to loose. That and repeatedly awful pre-season preparation. I just hope he can still walk to the stadium after another couple of hours in the pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsaint Posted 20 June, 2011 Share Posted 20 June, 2011 Derby (on TV) Cardiff Palace Millwall (on TV) Plymouth (on TV) Leeds (on TV) You could also add the Wolves game the season prior to the one starting against Derby as that was also televised. Of the 7 seasons out of the Prem our first match has been shown 5 times by Sky. FWIW i'm a bit of a traditionalist too, and hate when our Saturday kick offs get moved from 3pm.

Willo Posted 20 June, 2011 Share Posted 20 June, 2011 Anyone who thinks we still have the "sky curse" is clueless. It reminds me of all the people who bemoaned Lawro predicting a saints win (back in the prem days), and would say "well, we've got no chance now - we never win when Lawro predicts it". I recall somone once bothered to compile a league table based on all of Lawro's predictions throughout a season, and his final table was remarkably close to the actual one.
