Southampton and Cardiff Promoted?

[Shaun Tilly Lace 0]

They are the two clubs I would like to see join Reading in promotion to the Premiership. If it can''t be both of them, then I don''t mind if Blackpool make a return to the top flight. Please don''t let it be West Ham. They need a few more years in the lower leagues!

I''ve always had a bit of a soft spot for Saints . Like us, they''ve had their "economics of the madhouse" period, but they''ve come out of it, and I certainly would not be miffed if they emulated our back to back promotions. There is also the " Lambert" connection !

 

As for the play offs...well I agree with you; anyone but Wet Spam . Cardiff seem to be always the bridesmaid; never the bride, and in Malky , they have a guy I''ve got a lot of time for . And, as someone who was born and bred in Preston, you''ll forgive me for not wishing any luck on the tangerine Lashers.

Living in Surrey - Southampton and Reading are both easily accessible away days for me. Wet Sham would add another.

Southampton have hit a bit of a trough, like us, but they have quality. I think that they will just about hang on but....

 

I think it would be a good thing for West Ham to spend a year or two "in the wilderness", so I would not be crestfallen if they missed promotion. Other than this, I have no strong feelings.

Has to be Boro

God not Cardiff (sorry Malky).

 

Have you forgotten the arrogance and then sour grapes of last season?

I have family in Portsmouth and obviously they are devastated after them getting relegated, the only thing that could possibly make it worse for them would be for Southampton to get promoted, so it''s not them for me i''m afraid, but then i don''t want west ham to come up either, boro and blackpool would suit me. Can''t see it happening though i have to say.

That can''t happen.  The only team who can catch Southampton are West Ham, so either West Ham or Southampton will be promoted plus one other.  A very long shot, but I hope the other is Boro.  If not then - Blackpool, Birmingham, Cardiff, West Ham - in that order.

It''s going to be Southampton and unfortunately Birmingham there normally good in the playoffs

Would that be the "big club" Birmingham ? Empty seats everywhere. Reading is a new ground for me so pleased about that, don''t like saints or hammers as they would be tough competition next season.

I hope it''s not Birmingham, won''t be able to stand another 3 visits to Slumsville, and listern to my family telling me how great they are, and wanting the worlds best players but don''t like the ticket prices, where have I heared that before

please not wet spam. just seen allardyce on sky moaning that they have had it harder than the other teams because they all try harder against his lot. boo hoo. if he was a decent manager, given they players and money they have, they would have sealed automatic promotion earlier.

West ham managed to stop the SCUM in the play offs twice top team

As much as I''d rather Southampton than West Ham going up I wouldn''t mind seeing Southampton fail to go up as I feel it might take some of the shine of us doing back to back for the first time in years to the premiership, bit selfish I know!

Tonight has given next weekends fixtures a bit of an edge, with certain full houses at S''ton and the HammeroidsLooks to be certain for S''oton against doomed Coventry but who knows, and it''s always fun for things to go down to the wire

................ remember 2-2 at home to Derby, with almost 4 minutes of added time already played

Yes I ended up on my back on the steps my son thought I had an heart attack, thank you Robby Savage,If he had not milked the reaction from the crowd when he went off subbed it could have been very different,  so glad we are not involved in it this season

My reasons for wanting Cardiff to be promoted are twofold:

1. Malky''s team, and he''s a good old boy

2. It''s nice to see some fresh faces in the Premiership instead of the same same old.

Malky deserves every success.... he has done well as a manager thus far...Lambert will leave one day and will need replacing... step forward Sir Malky!
