The Official Southampton FC Thread

A win yesterday would only have given us false hope. We've been down for weeks. There is absolutely nothing about us anymore.

[E90_M3Ross]

Agreed, no questions about it now, we're down.

[Nexus Icon]

Agreed. Said it before Ralph was elbowed and haven't changed my mind. Our only decent results have been against teams who've faced us assuming the three points were already in the bag and we've got lucky somehow once they've already fallen into "walk in the park" mode.

Well, I come from Leicester but lived in Southampton, so it is a double whammy for me.But this is about the most vicious year I have ever seen in the Premier Division. Of the bottom twelve teams only two have not been sacked this season, and despite a new contract there is much talk of Notts Forest parting company. One of the most prolific managers in the game, Conte, has gone too, and surely Potter (from Brighton this season) will not be very long at Chelsea.

Potter has gone already… please keep up at the back.

Sorry teecher. Must try harder.

We are bottom of the league, both in the league and in the forum. Seven matches to play, including Arsenal,Newcastle, Fulham, Liverpool, Brighton and a revitalised Bournemouth. This weekend they played like they were just awaiting the end of the season and no more. I've permutated matches and sought a of daylight, but only found a blackout. See you next year.

I thought they'd done it at 1-3 but alas no. A crucial two points missed. Damn and blast.

[Petrus1983]

To let Arsenal score in the 88th and 90th minute is just ridiculous. Absolutely everything should have gone into defending mode.

[E90_M3Ross]

Would have taken 1 point before the match but being 2 up at 87mins just feels like a defeat. That could have been the key to us getting out of relegation by the end of the season, alas, not to be.

[Legacywr]

Went to my first game in years tonight, we were absolutely st! Nothing going for us at all.

[breadvan]

Same here, agreed.

[The jiffle king]

We've known for weeks that we are not going to stay up but the hope given by games like Arsenal is difficult to take.
We seem to run out of ideas and are not good enough in front of goal

[Leicester Loyal]

Yeah I think you’re down now, you need to win 4 out of the 5 remaining games, not gonna happen.

You did the double over us aswell, mental.

[DocJock]

Selles' obsession with starting Adam Armstrong and Walcott as his strikers is utterly bizarre. both of them offer nothing other than running into dead ends like headless chickens.

Suelimana, Mara, or Onuachu at least have some potential for scoring.

[SaintsPaul]

A season ticket holder but couldn’t be arsed to go last night. It has been the same old crap all season.
The club is rotten from top to bottom.

We got better as soon as Adams and Stuart A came on...

Getting to think about it, I've lived in three cities. The first was Portsmouth when they were top of the 1st Division, (they went bust later and are in the 3rd (?) now. After that Southampton and for years in only the 2nd, then a business move to Leicester before moving abroad and watched them relegated. It doesn't seem advisable to want me as a fan really.

This!

We deserve to go straight to League 1.

I’m a Southampton fan as it’s my home city. My home city in Spain is Elche. I’ve watched both my teams hug the bottom spot of their respective divisions this season. No respite from ste.
