Good luck for next season wishing you all best. Was class that some your fans stayed behind after game for goodison send off. Good banter no detegory chants about liverpool. Was funny when you where chanting about championship. Think you need big clear out of players if you are to have serious go about coming up. If you get still think that great appointment for you.

Last game in the Prem for a while I’d guess, and at home! The team didn’t bother turning up all season, perhaps the fans should do the same, boycott the last game. Sends the board a message!

I certainly won’t be going to say farewell to the team. Today, their attitude just sucked. As they said on commentary, our players were on the beach already.
They don’t deserve a holiday - they should be sent to boot camp. Other than Fernandez there was no one who put in an honest shift.
Dibbling is getting worse every week - wanders aimlessly around the pitch wearing the expression of a sulking teenager - Cole Palmer like but nowhere near hi ability. To think Spurs were reportedly looking at north of £80 Million.
Total rebuild required my friends.

Bonus points for effort- ZERO.Very few will get retained for high-energy prospective Coach WS.Possibility he could improve and transform Archer/Stewart combo up front.Keep Edwards, Wood, Sanda, Charles, Robinson and all up and coming Academy prospects with maybe Sugawara? .All others mooted ‘up for sale’-Take the money and run! A potentially clean slate for potential Coach WS to introduce his own high-energy attacking team.Exciting times ahead! Ps. Our Coaches selected starting line-up performed far poorer than the team that finished the game including all of the substitutes! (Does that tell us something)! KOM

Party pooper potential today - I'm feeling a draw because that's how football works, right?
Fair play to Everton - the nostalgia is overwhelming (well, for the blue Scousers that is).

What I didn’t factor in was how shocking our attitude is. Not one ounce of pride in the first half - at the very least they should be playing for their shirts. They are a disgrace to the club. No words.

'Welcome to Wrexham' well worth a watch on Paramount.
Unbelievable that we are playing them next season given they were a 'Conference' club three years ago.

They will be promoted or at the very least up there with the runners next season.
They're not an global team but they've gone global because of Ryan and Rob. Combine that with the drive and passion they're chairman have and it's a no brainer.
Any quality fringe players from better teams around/above them are more like to choose wrexham to sign for loan/transfer because they get to run shoulders with Hollywood and be part of the story.
Wrexham are being steamrolled by an unstoppable force and fair play to them. It's the type of determination every club needs/deserves from their board.

If we are to emulate Wrexham, I was thinking more Denzel and John Travolta.

As far as emulating Hollywood I think we failed on the Great Escape, don't think we even got the script on that one, instead we ended up with a squad of Lost Boys.
Hopefully next year won't be the year of the Hurtlocker/The Crying Game and or our transfer policy won't become Lost in Translation.
Maybe we're find someone who can Bend it like Beckham or some other Goodfellas. Hopefully (Danny Rohl) comes to us or someone similar and they can be The Rock we need to guide us forward. However for that the board/background staff will need to prove their not the Usual Suspects they've shown to be with all their Risky Business so far though.
Alas, at least for the foreseeable future I fear the championship is for us As good as it Gets . possibly Falling Down further into obscurity.
Yet if by some miracle though we do find ourselves promoted at the end of the season, let's hope the final emulation isn't Ground hog Day.

I didn’t reply to your earlier post Lesleee - we have zero chance of being promoted next season. We are far more likely to go straight back down again. It’s not that we are just lacking quality, I’ve never seen a Saints team with such a losing mentality. Awful.

Putting a positive spin on the season. If someone had told me at the beginning of the season we would finish 4-5 places below Man u and Spurs I'd have snapped their hand off!

Me too Saint Kenny.
To show how big the gap is between bottom three clubs and the others, how about this for a stat - Brentford, Brighton Forest and Bournemouth have each got roughly as many points as Saints, Ipswich and Leicester combined.

So I put this out last time we were relegated but are the richis of the premier League really worth it? Last season there was hope and anticipation before nearly every game this season despair and heart ache before the whistle is even blown. Although it's the championship it's still Southampton FC and I would much rather support and enjoy my weekend than watch us struggle week in week out.

It’s an interesting debate for sure. I suspect most fans enjoyed the triumphs of last season over the despair of this season but where does that end.
What about if we struggle in the Championship? Would we apply the same mindset and prefer the inferior quality of League 1.
My honest answer is I am glad that we won’t have to endure another season of PL misery so logically that would mean I am happier to be in the Championship.
My worry is that next season will be another year of underperformance.

I think they battled well and credit to them.
But if I looked at it objectively, we offered nothing up front and barring a fluke, we were never going to win it. City weren’t on it and we played with passion.
All in all, a good afternoon’s work - but let’s not get too carried away.
The best part of today was it gave us beleaguered Saints fans a modicum of pride (and I haven’t said that in a while!

Be very interesting to see how Leeds perform in the prem, after another year in the Championship.
I would take a good exodus from the prem, if meant we rebuilt like the Cortese years.

Now that Frank Lampard has shown his hand (sorry Millertime) -providing Coventry City do not advance from the second leg tomorrow, he will surely be installed as short. Priced favourite for Southampton fc Manager position closely followed by two wildcards Eric Ramsay and Will Still. Decisions may be forthcoming within the next week ( hopefully)! KOM.

I boldly predict that we will pass Derby County's record low points haul.
So where is the extra point going to come from?
Will it be a once in a 'blue moon' (get it?) performance against City or will we get the sweet taste of success at the Toffees. Or will we outgun Arsenal on the final day?
The most likely scenario will be that we spoil the farewell party at Goodison Park. However, I'm going for a last gasp point on the final day at home to Arsenal.

As far as I’m aware at this moment Eric Ramsay ( MINNESOTA UTD FC) Does hold the top UEFA COACHING LICENSE ( allowing him to Coach in the Championship//Premier Leagues whereas Will Still does not.Whether or not this has any influence on their respective application chances I don’t know.At present RCLENS attendance is approx 38000 and MINNESOTA UTD 25000.

Why not …!
I have to ask though, can you imagine how good Fernandes would be in a team which played attacking football with players who could pass to a player wearing the same coloured shirt and had a decent first touch.
What I’m saying is put him in a City or Arsenal midfield and he would be world class.
Anyway, he’s not worth more than an hour in a Saints shirt. Maybe, there’s an issue with those who make decisions from the sidelines.
