Agree with SFC about the programme, it was really cool. :P Also, I feel for you Plymouth fans, having been in the situation. Really sorry that you are relegated, I hated it.

On the subject of the Saints however, YESSSSSSSS!!!! :D So glad that we have been promoted. I think the last time we went up was 1978, so there's a bit of history for you all. Never experienced a promotion before, and it's great. Cannot wait for Saturday now. Over 30,000 fans in League 1, and an absolutely buzzing atmosphere. Hopefully we can get a pitch invasion at the end, but not a stupid one, a proper celebration one. :D

Chuffed.

EDIT: Dunc, it was a really small section of our fans. I can assure you that neither I, nor SFC2010 were involved in the stupidity. :)

Indeed, I was sat right next to where those guys came out of, if the police hadn't been so swift they would have been absolutely murdered, considering there was about 5 of them running into the best part of 1000 ****** off and angry Argyle fans, after your lot at our end of your fans gave us all that ****. To be honest, if I hadn't taken my Dad, I would have been throwing myself at those saints fans. Comparing Newcastle's win last season, where we went up, and Argyle went down, there was no trouble, and the Newcastle fans were just happy we were going up, rather than sending Argyle down, and at the end of the game, we went on the pitch, I suppose we were more welcome due to not acting like ***** for the whole game, although I have to admit, it was a rather small section of your fans, but as they say, one rotten apple will spoil the bunch. Actually, I have no idea if they say that, but, you know what I mean.

I would also like to note, I don't think the ref was particularly good, I think we should have had a pen when Bolasie went down in the box in the first 15 mins. Although, you have a pretty awesome player in Lambert.

Good luck next season, but if the boot was on the other foot I would highly doubt argyle fans would act in the same manner as your fans did.

TBH it was only the "hardcore" fans who where happy you guys went down, most of us know what it feels like, and it aint nice.
On the subject of bolasie, i had a very good view and he was just outside the area.
TBH i think you actually have a decent team (although you will probably sell most of them) and bolasie fully deserved MOM and i think he was the best player on the pitch by far. Also your young center back (Curtis Nelson? No.35) Is very good, i only realised when i got home that he is only 17.
I think next season for you depends on how quickly you can get bought and then what sort of players you can get in.

I know, I think I am just frustrated that a small group of fans can ruin it for everyone else. If it wasn't for those fans, I am sure we would have been allot more accommodating, considering our fate was all but sealed anyway.

^^ As i said it was only our "hardcore" fans. I watch football because it is a good sport and i find it entertaining, not to deliberately upset/annoy other fans (unless they support portsmouth :))

Yeah, Nelson has been a rock all season, will be sad to see him go in the summer, as he ultimately will after having such a good season. Bolasie will likely go as well, he's a good player, but sometimes, his first touch is just ******* awful lol, but when he gets running and fancies a showboat, he's pretty sexy to watch. I imagine we will lose Mason as well in the summer.

I think your squad will do well in the Champ, you have alot of good players, and while watching the game yesterday, I noted I didn't think there were any positions in your team, where I would swap in a player from Argyle. Safe to say your squad is alot better than ours, but I imagine yours has had a fair bit of investment, while we have lost our best players in Noone and BWP already this season. :)

TBH you guys where a lot better than i expected from what i had heard. We have a strong squad but that is because we have spent lots of money getting it that way. We need a few replacements for older players who are losing it a bit, and a bit of back up here and there. I wouldn't mind seeing Nelson and Mason at southampton as i thought they where both really good. Also isn't mason a striker but he was playing on the wing?

Yeah hes a striker, but he can play on the wing as well, where he has mainly been deployed this season, I would rather him upfront though as he is much better than Fallon/R Patz/anyone else, if we somehow manage to keep hold of him through the summer, I would like to see him playing as a striker, but I wouldn't begrudge him moving on :)

I think the Spanish league should take notes from this video, instead of rolling around on the floor

I dont know who it was but your striker was (Fallon/Patterson?) winning headers againts jaidi/fonte which not many people have done. If you manage to keep hold of him in league 2 then i think him and mason upfront would rip league 2 apart.
Also i was wondering what you think about Jack Stephens seeing as he played a few games for you and now we have signed him.

Stephens is ok, he only played a handful of games for us, but the ones he did play, he looked pretty assured at the back, will need a bit of nurturing and experience, but should end up a good player :)

Fallon is the beast in the air, thats all he can do though. :(
 
Oh right, sorry. I thought you were reffering to Dale. Never mind. :P Feel like a bit of a **** now.

its an easy mistake to make ;)
are you going to the special celebration match on sunday?
Click to expand...

No. I can't make it which is a real shame. I would have loved to see all of them legends on show again, and for free! Hopefully some highlights will be put up on the site or something, as I have Saints Player subscription now. I am going to the Walsall game Saturday though, but you knew that as I have an ST. You do too right? Cannot wait. 30,000+ fans for a League 1 match is phenominal, and the pitch invasion on 90 minutes is going to be amazing. The atmosphere will be something to keep a hold of that's for sure! Can't wait.

yeah, I have a season ticket :) Apparentely Chamberlain might be fit to play on staurday :D
Fot the celebration match i am a bit dissapointed that cortese can't forgive Le Tiss and Benali cause i don't think that they will be there but they are two of our biggest legends, but its for free so that makes up a little bit.
 
We are now a step closer to exiting administration after our creditors accepted the CVA Offer.

The administrator has also named his preffered bidder, but the details of that can't be released until June 14th. However, it won't be James Brent or the other Irish Bloke apparently who have been linked for a long time? So who the **** is it?

Now I look foward too tomorrow, which will a big thank-you to the unpayed players and staff who have kept the club alive during our darkest season. The unpayed staff will be joining the players at the end of the match, in a lap of honour- Of course, a large chunk of squad won't be here next season, so we'll also be saying goodbye to them.

Here comes the new era...
 
Bellamy commits to Cardiff even if promotion is a failure
 
Yesssssss! No points deduction, finally we can celebrate without worrying although I was pretty sure we weren't going to lose points.
 
QPR will be promoted as Championship winners after they escaped a points deduction despite being found guilty of two charges relating to the signing of Alejandro Faurlin.
A Football Association statement said: "Although two of the charges have been found to be proved there will be no points deduction made from Queens Park Rangers FC in this season or the next."

Pleased for them, Hope they do well next Year ! :)
