[Two Professors]

Lawro has predicted a 2 - 0 home win,so nailed on victory for us then!

 

[Insel affe]

Please can we win tonight, so I can take the piss out of my baby Scumpton fan brother.

Referee: The Complete And Utter Shyster

So we've lost the game, all that remains is how many players we'll have banned from playing against West Ham on Saturday.

 

[Triggaaar]

Pretty please can we not go into meltdown if we do lose tonight?

You want the impossible

 

[Insel affe]

We need a point tonight. We can't afford to keep giving rivals the results they need to gain confidence and get them up the league (Huddersfield, West Brom, Bournemouth). We also need it to rebuild a bit of confidence after the West Brom debacle.

This is definitely a match we should be looking to take control of by starting on the front foot. Southampton are on a long run without a win and are under pressure. If we won tonight I would be amazed if their manager isn't sacked in the morning. That's how close to the brink they are. Don't give them belief by allowing them to get on top of us from the start like we did at West Brom. Be positive and push their defence back.

This with great big chuffin cow bells on...

DING DONG

Pretty please can we not go into meltdown if we do lose tonight? Still plenty of points on offer and it's a 12 team relegation battle...

Of course not. I'm very confident that we will win our last 5 games of the season and pip West Brom on GD .... why does anyone think we could get relegated if we lose tonight? Nonsense!

Trepidations

Must not Lose




PS: I bet we don't play in blue. Orange has not done us much good.​

We don't play in orange you end of a bell !!!

We beat Swansea with him?

 

[Triggaaar]

We beat Swansea with him?

Please don't let facts get in the way of my hatred.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Whats the nominated pre-match boozer then??

HMS Bedwetter, which has recently undergone sea trials for seepage, and is now docked in Southampton.

Please don't let facts get in the way of my hatred.

Good point well made.

Important information! Anyone?

The designated away pub is Yates's in Above Bar, about 5/10 minute walk from the station and very close to the Civic Centre.

Sounds delightful.

 

[Mellotron]

Been on SaintsWeb and they are NOT confident at all about tonight. Sounds like they struggle a lot against anyone half decent in the air (who's that man...?).

PLEASE can we absolutely go at them from minute one.

Best not give away any corners then!

 

[Brok]

Don't know if it's been mentioned before, but we cannot afford to lose tonight...

 

[phazza]

Southampton are shit this year. No excuse not to fly st them tonight.

You are right. I really hope we do have a go at them tonight. My only real gripe with our tactics away from home is that against the lower down teams, we are still too negative. Come on Brighton, we can do it.

 

[el punal]

Sounds delightful.

You're not wrong there! We're spoiled when the Albion play at home with the number of decent pubs around the station. Southampton is not blessed with decent boozers in the city centre, some good ones further afield but not on the beaten track for football fans. If you've got the time and inclination try the Oxford Street area where the pubs are much better and not too far from St.Mary's.
