The Saint

We are all hoping that we are crowned champions before the last game of the season so we can lose to you and send the Skates down. Rest assured if the situation arises our players will know what we expect! The Skates did the same with West Brom and helped send us down so there is an old score we want to settle.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

I'm hoping you require a point for the title and us one point to guarantee safety. We can play out a 1977 v Bristol game and go crazy on the Sunderland boards :)

Would do me fine, I am sure Southampton will have the title in the bag with 1/2 games remaining but I also think Portsmouth will be relegated before the last game as well.

Still hoping it won't come down to the last day

Originates from Naval sailors of Portsmouth in England getting lonely while at sea. These sick individuals would get a skate fish, slit it in half and nail it to a board. This would then be used to provide sexual pleasure.

Hence people from Portsmouth are known as Skates.

If the saints are promoted by then and pompy are down there will be a problem which happened at Charlton a few years back.

Charlton were mid table, and had nothing to play for, when they came out of the tunnel they were smiling and ready for what was nothing but a kick about.
Whereas the city boys, looked scared, and worried that relegation could occur if the game was lost.
We ended up getting slaughtered, with the Charlton players with no pressure at all, they walked over us.

I'm worried this could be a problem come the end of the season!

Luckily that year festa went down!

The only difference there was that i'm convinced they put in that display on purpose after John Harbin was bannished prior to that game ,massive own goal for Coleman et al

To think that we beat United at Old Trafford that year...

Didn't Coleman tell half the squad that the game at the Valley would be their last game for CCFC?

On reflection, that wasn't the best of ideas, especially for a game of that magnitude.

Coleman was an idiot.

He thought it a good idea to tell players they would be released or sold way in advance and with a number of games still to go and them still being City players.

That day spent watching Lesta hit the post at the Britannia fully knowing we surrendered at Charlton was one of the least enjoyable days I've had as a City fan-survival nearly didn't feel worth celebrating such was the woeful display we put in.

Just out of interest which way do you slice the skate, and whereabouts do you put the nail in - purely in the interests of historical research you understand.

To be honest, apart from the result, I had a great day!! But I wouldn't want to see that performance again, no matter how drunk I was!

But it was nerve racking. Everyone on phones ect

Yeah, a guy behind me had said that the stoke fans were on the pitch and it spread quick and celebrated like mad, but we heard it wasn't the end of the game and it went near silent.

I was on a Stag Do in Llorett de Mar.

Woke up the Saturday feeling rough as arseholes after a heavy day on it only for my mate to crack open a bottle of voddy straight away that 3 of us had finished by 1 o'clock. Remember sitting in a boozer thinking we were getting relegated but then remember fuck all and we must have stumbled back to the hotel.

It was only when I woke up a few hours later that I found out we were safe. Not mine or Cov's finest hour. :pointlaugh:

............. but DO your players know what you expect? They are, after all, professionals and will surely want to win to keep their reputation intact as champions? Anyway, congrats for a terrific season. Deserve to be promoted. I've watched a few of your games and they've all been really entertaining stuff!
er..... I don't suppose Lambert would like a change of scenery on loan to us for a wee while? :whistle:

I had a trip to lloret that sounds pretty familiar to that! It was the 2002 world cup, we played Denmark and I was in the pub all day on my own chatting to random people and celebrating with them! It was a British pub opposite the beach, don't know if it was still there when you went?

The whole trip is pretty hazy but yes I seem to remeber a British pub right opposite the beach, quite a narrowish pub that went quite far back? Remember not being able to eat a breakie in there.

Spent a bit of time in a boozer called the Queen Vic as well if my memory serves me right.

The queen Vic definitely rings a few bells!

All this talk makes me want to go on holiday now!

We deserved to be relegated on that display! I remember it well. Why is it you remember the shitty things the clearest??

I remember turning the radio almost off and sat glued to Sky Sports News. Was it Tony Cottee watching Leicester that day?
I almost hit the roof when he said the final whistle had gone. My mate from next door obviously heard me, came straight round and practically carried me down the pub.

I had a bloody fantastic week's holiday in Lloret in the late eighties.
Just me and a mate, who were the only ones who could affords it, went on a holiday where you did'nt know where you were going when you booked,(i can't remember what holidays like this were called) but when we got to departure date they let us knew where we were going, and it was a four star in Lloret.

Me and my mate had a wonderful time, and in those days i could, now and then, pull a half decent bird,as long as she was nearly legless, and we just hit peak pulling form that would never be repeated again. I think i cried when i had to come home.
