Sorry Iain, Realist.
To spell it out for the dreamer. Two teams closely matched, Sarries with a vice like defence. Tigers with a poor try scoring record. Sarries have home advantage, crowd, and therefore possibly ref advantage. Plus playing on a nasty plastic pitch.
Not much chance of a win is therefore an accurate statement. There is some chance, but not much?

Of course people label today's game as a must win affair, we have still a 5 pointer to come at Welford Road against London Welsh and the Chiefs and Wasps have some tough matches. No the crunch game whether we will finish in the top 4 is the fixture down the road at the Ricoh arena. That is the must win game.

Spot on although today will go a long way towards dictating exactly what is needed at the Ricoh.
I am neither clever enough to understand nor stupid enough to play this game

The result today will decide whether it's in our hands to make 3rd imho. I can't decide if I'd rather play Bath or Saints away. Thoughts?

Ref not doing us any favours. Forward pass in the their 22 from Ben Youngs that was flat all day ... Wheeling scrum when we push them back 1m on one side and 3m on the other ... Kruis chases a Saracens kick and knocks it back by starting a metre ahead of the kicker ...
However, Tom Youngs was a yellow. Ref seems apt at spotting mistakes from Tigers.
Thought we had played well in the forwards but backs lacking any cutting edge at the moment.
