| Forum Thread | Crowd of less than 25,000 looming for play-off semi home leg at 09:16 28 Apr 2024
Unless the Club do something bold with pricing (£15 or less). The play-offs were always my favourite week of the season to watch games on TV (as a neutral); often so much excitement in games with big atmospheres. However, the feeling I get is that a lot of fans just want the season to end now, and extending it by another couple of weeks is just prolonging the angst. A real shame. |
| Forum Thread | Suspensions - play-offs at 08:40 27 Apr 2024
How does it work with suspensions? Do they roll over into the play-offs? Thinking of the implications of any 3-match bans for a straight red card today or next Saturday…..(or a red card next Saturday for 2 yellows). |

Bad news for us. We need Ipswich to finish 3rd and Norwich 6th. |

| Forum Thread | 61 goals conceded in the League this season at 14:16 24 Apr 2024
Four more goals conceded from our last two games against Stoke and Leeds, and we will surpass the figure of 64 conceded by Swansea last season. When we appointed Brighton Buddha, common consensus seemed to be that we would not concede as many goals as Swansea as we had better players. I predict that if Brighton Buddha survives the summer, Colin Calderwood will be the sacrificial lamb. |
| Forum Thread | Flynn Downes and Ross Stewart at 13:49 24 Apr 2024
Increasingly thinking that the season is going to depend on these two both being fit for the play-offs. I imagine there may be one or two behind closed doors friendlies being hurriedly arranged.... |
| Forum Thread | Two games out of nine at 07:28 23 Apr 2024
Won by Saints without Flynn Downes in the team. And judging by Brighton Buddha’s comments in today’s Echo, we won’t be seeing Downes before the play-offs…… |
| Forum Thread | 5 things I noticed at Cardiff at 13:22 22 Apr 2024
1. Their locals are bellends. 2. Re point 1, saw a group of half a dozen nippers outside the Cambrian Tap pub on St. Mary Street doing slit-throat signs at anybody who they thought might be English. This was before 11.00am. Dibble moved them on. 3. Then stood outside the same bar, a local decided to acquaint himself with our group. Was drinking a whole bottle of Sauvignon Blanc (a good drop as well) at midday. 4. I got sunburnt stood outside that bar. 5. I don't want to go back there in a hurry. Have seen us play there 4 times in 3 different stadiums, we have lost every single time. |

Starting for Leverkusen tonight. Bit weird that he and Ward-Prowse started the season at Hillsborough and are both now starting in a European quarter-final. |
| Forum Thread | 2 away games in 4 days at 09:17 18 Apr 2024
6 points from the next 2 games, and we'll all be feeling a lot cheerier about our lot. Etc etc etc You can all thank me next month..... |
| Forum Thread | Support last night at 11:38 17 Apr 2024
Thought it was good. Obviously the result and a great performance by Saints greatly helped. But I didn't hear any daft chants towards the Preston fans, whose heroic jaunt on a Tuesday deserves the utmost respect. Hopefully we can make a racket up at Cardiff, and their fans won't be up for it as they have little to play for, so we can make that like a home game. Would expect the atmosphere at Leicester to be rather different....... |
| Forum Thread | Penny for the thoughts of Joe Lumley at 08:30 17 Apr 2024
Quite the slap in the face for Lumley for McCarthy to not be on the bench, but then put straight in the line-up. However If it means less faffing about with the ball in our penalty area, I'm all up for that. |
| Forum Thread | Manning at 08:26 17 Apr 2024
Played very well last night. Gave us a good balance and was good on the ball. Looked accomplished. Do I win £5? |
| Forum Thread | Potential 3-match ban for Mara at 23:32 15 Apr 2024
If it happens, I hope the club do the sensible thing and appeal. The EFL could deem it a frivolous appeal and hopefully double it.

| Forum Thread | Top 3 Saints things I have missed due to being in a strop at 13:41 15 Apr 2024
1. Saints 2 Newcastle 2 in 1997. Left a couple of minutes from the end with Barcodes 2-0 up. This was the cue for us to score twice in injury-time with MLT's blaster from 25 yards. 2. Saturday's winning goal 3. Saints 3 Newcastle 1 in 1995. This was an infamous late fightback, but I didn't even go to the game at all. I drove to Forest away on the Saturday and we were abject and lost 3-0. I was convinced Barcodes would batter us. My Mum went in my place, and never let me forget it. This was the time when the tannoy announcement came for all in the Archers to sit down, and I don't think they ever sat down again until the ground was knocked down.... I know this will be met with countless "you're an idiot" responses. Let me just think of it as being cathartic for myself.... I did at least stay in the ground for Barry Horne v Bolton though..... |
