Would you tell the players the score at Southampton.

[demon_dog]

For those of you lucky enough to be going to Stoke, would you keep the players updated as to how Southampton are doing?

(Assuming you have a radio of course)

I'm in 2 minds as to whether this would be the right thing to do.

Would it make them try harder if they knew that Southampton were going to stay up?

Or knowing our bunch of useless twats would they just drop their heads and think stuff it, that's it we're down?

Your thoughts please.

maybe mention it to the defence with a couple of minutes to go if its tight........

[SemperEadem]

I hope it would inspire them but with this bunch i doubt it.

[Corky]

I would not tell the players the score, let them focus on getting the win that would end all fears. Any distraction could bring dire consequences.

[dandannieldanok]

I'd tell them the wrong score, if you say Southampton are winning whether it's true or not they might actually buck up their ideas and try to win our mathc at Stoke.

[RowlattsFox]

It will be a difficult situation if with 5 minutes to go both us and Southampton are drawing. Obviously we would want to score the winner but we don't want to be stupid and concede.

I doubt it, they'd hang their heads and get battered.

I don't really know how I am going to cope this sunday, I really don't.

That type of situation is going to be agony!!!

I was thinking the same thing. If we are losing then yes its a good idea. Because foxes never quit

Ours did at half-time on Saturday

Hence the

[Zingari]

i wouldn't tell them the score until next season and leave them in ignorance of what division they will be playing

[Chairman of the Bored]

They'll know anyway. Steve Howard listens to 5 Live during matches that's why he "lacks focus."

[DB11]

The way it seems our players care you'd have trouble telling them the current score against Stoke

nice one

[CupidStunt]

depends on whether at some point during the game,we only require a draw

dont forget sheff weds,if like i predict,will get beat by norwich on sunday,a point will be enough also

amazing how the goal difference might keep us up....just

I'm hoping that sheff utd are winning 6-0 at half time,and then us and stoke can play scrabble on the pitch or something

[Number 6]

let's not forget stoke don't need the win, they only need a point, hopefully hull will be getting hammered and they might not care

I refer you to the bbc sport website where their Chairman has released a statement saying that he wants to WIN the league. They want to go up as winners. They are level on points with WBA.

That, coupled with the fact that there is some animosity between Pulis and Mandaric.

One might argue that they may want to thrash us. At home. On the Last Day of the season. Infront of 30,000 fans.

This is going to be awfully nerve wracking

surely they want to thrash everyone they play, just saying they don't NEED to

[Sparky]

anyone remember couple of years ago Man City were 2-2 with Liverpool and were keeping the ball in the corner as they thought a point was enough , it wasnt and they were relegated

[lookwhaticando]

Absolutely no bloody way.

They should already be aware we're on a knife edge... we don't need to let them know they need to score, they should know already.

On top of that, we don't want any complacency at all - and if the Southampton game is going our way, complacency will be our biggest enemy.

These useless fuckwits need to go out there and win. WIN WIN WIN. Nothing else will suffice.

That was 12 years ago mate. But it was typical Man City, wasn't it? Then two years later that Jamie Pollock did his "Gazza" moment which all but sent them down again. Hope that's not a sign

[SystonFox]

they shouldnt care what sheff yoo get up too aslong as we bag 3 pts it wont matter.

[Sods]

Im sure if Sheff United score they will know about it. Could be quite a weird day if cheers come from the Stoke end and ours for different results.
