JakkoUK Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Did Virgil just say he wants to stay for "another couple of years"? Well if you think a player of his level is gunna stay at Southampton for 6 years than you my friend are bonkers. The extensions mealy to keep him a couple more years and rise any price that is offered.
OldNick Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 I think he meant on top of the current deal, relax.I don't he did mean that, I took it that he'd be here for 2 more years. That would be a fantastic result as it at least gives the club time to how ambition for him to stay longer
Jimmy_D Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Did Virgil just say he wants to stay for "another couple of years"? Yeah, it's a two year extension he's just signed!
Cabrone Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 What a time to get a run of form going, Europe is suddenly looking on again and I never thought I'd be saying that after Everton. So, this season we've beaten Chelsea (a) Utd (a) Spurs (a) + thrashed Arse at home. Not sure when that will be repeated again. Bonkers season hopefully topped off with a Europa place again
angelman Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 So we win our last game = 63 points. West Ham beat Man Utd and lose to Stoke = 62 points and Man U lose to West Ham and Bournemouth = 63 points and a worse GD than us and Liverpool don't win all of their games at Watford, Chelsea and WBA and we finish 5th! Bournemouth doing the double on Utd might be pushing things a bit too far. Maybe Utd beating WHU and then we win our last game with Liverpool getting a draw somewhere to leave us 6th is more realistic.
Yorkshire Saint Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 I give Fraser my mom for that save at the end. Over 94 mins you have got to say Shane but hey we all deserve credit including the fans and the manager for this one
eurosaint Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Tadic with the assist for both goals, even although it was not his best performance of late his contribution actually won us the match !
positivepete Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Was that the last ever game at WHL? Fabulous result, who'd 'a thought it. Better start saving, my comment at half time during the Liverpool game that that ends our European hopes may have been a bit premature!
OldNick Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 it was a fantastic result but Spurs were not at the races today. I like to think that it was us who caused it,not their disappointment from the other night
Saint_Tony Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 What a win, great defensive display. Right in the race for Europe now having gone under the radar this season. I said last season in a way we would have been better starting poorly then creeping up the table. We got to 2nd and the expectation was too much Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
Baird of the land Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Great display by Saints. Rode our luck slightly to get the win but you have to do that away against a good spurs side. Now need to keep our foot on the gas against Palace and hope others drop points. Lovely composure by Davis for the 2nd. Coupled with great workrate, got into great attacking positions today and showed just what an asset he is to Saints . My MOM. Fantastic save by fraser at the death. At fault for the 1st but i'll take a terrific keeper inside his 6 yard box who's got a slight flaw in terms of sweeping. Martina was the weak link 1st half but clearly helped by instruction after that and did better. still think we need to invest in a top drawer right back in the summer though. Glad they took off Son who was causing us all sorts of problems.
Miltonaggro Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Superb Saints, superb! Now that the Portsmouth scum are dead and buried, there is nothing like beating Spurs and Liverpool - the clubs with the most worthy fan bases in football. Come on Arsenal and Watford!
mrfahaji Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 That result means everything. A huge release after so many months of having that pit in my stomach every time they are mentioned. GET IN!
stknowle Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 it was a fantastic result but Spurs were not at the races today. I like to think that it was us who caused it,not their disappointment from the other night I think it was us that caused it. They looked a very good team but we ground them down and they ran out of ideas.
Saint Pete Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Whatever happens with the final league position it's great to see us put in such a storming finish to the season - excellent stuff! Last 8 games - W6 D1 L1, including wins against Liverpool Man C and Spurs. Great effort.
Globetrotter Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 So we win our last game = 63 points.

Bournemouth doing the double on Utd might be pushing things a bit too far. Maybe Utd beating WHU and then we win our last game with Liverpool getting a draw somewhere to leave us 6th is more realistic. Thing is IF we finish 6th we still need to hope West Ham finish above Liverpool - think I'm right in saying that if we're 6th, Liverpool 7th, Palace win FA Cup, and Liverpool win Europa, that 6th wouldn't get Europa (I.e. 5 CL spots and 2 Europa which would be 5th place and Palace)... right?

Ade Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Saints will play a lot better and lose games but who cares - we've finally stuffed Spurs at their place. Davo, Long, Bertrand very good and special mention to Romeu, who once again was far more effective than Clasie. Not a great game from Vic today; maybe he's staying!! Disagree. As Souness said on tv, which I agree with, Wanyama kept Kane quiet all game, and that's not easy.
Chris27687 Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Hahahaha - enjoy the closest you'll ever come to the title you bunch of ****s.
Ultimatt Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 We've now beat every team in the PL in Koeman's 2 years. 6th is on the cards and that could be automatic group stage, no extra-early preseason which will help, especially with Euros stopping some of our lads from getting a break.
Pamplemousse Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 They've now lost 20 points from winning positions this season
beatlesaint Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Watch this! Sadio is a miserable little bugger isnt he ?
trousers Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 They've now lost 20 points from winning positions this season Didn't Pochettino have a similar record to that with us?
angelman Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 any highlights/goals available? http://hoofoot.com/?match=Tottenham_1_-_2_Southampton_2016_05_08

SNSUN Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 I'm currently watching the game on Sky + "as live" as I've been at work. Told colleagues not to tell me the score. I've just seen the Spurs goal go in, and I've buckled and looked at the score! Well looking forward to the rest of this game now! (The wife still thinks I don't know the score though, so I'll act dumb. Shouldn't be too hard...)
Saints foreva Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Tadic with 12 league assists now. Only two players have more (Ozil and Eriksen).
Saint Without a Halo Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Now it's Come on Watford and Come on Man Utd on Tuesday Need a draw between Manu and Westham as we want City in top Four and utd to win the cup and stay above West Sham

Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Actually I'm overthinking it aren't I, if Palace won the cup then 7th wouldn't mean a European spot so wouldn't matter what Liverpool do in Europa final I.e. 6th is fine regardless. A Utd cup win and West Ham 7th would still be good though as straight to group stage then! Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
Charlie Wayman Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Did Virgil just say he wants to stay for "another couple of years"? Yep! It needs a 6 year contract to keep them here for 2 years? You couldn't make it up. Hopefully what he meant was a couple more years longer than he first thought.

Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk No idea!! But I read that if Man U win the FA Cup and Liverpool win the Europa League, then England has 8 teams in Europe.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 For the first 30 minutes we were played off the park; and they did look a class above us. Didn't agree then and don't now if Tadic had crossed to Davis and Forster had not been anticipating an off side whistle we would have been deservedly one up Yes North London Yobos had the ball more and all the possession but our plan was to defend deep suck them in block their wingers and hit them on the break and it worked beautifully from the onset

Saint Charlie Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 (edited) Class result. Forster quality at the end, after his inability to come out of his goal decisively cost us. Second points tally in 2016 to Leicester. Great work from Koeman, lets keep him and build on the momentum. We have a good team so lets have an ambitious summer. Edited 8 May, 2016 by Saint Charlie

Charlie Wayman Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 We could start next season as favourites at this rate.

kwsaint Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Might even finish above Liverpool for the first time ever
suewhistle Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 CALLING 'the9' to "the possible permutations to get into Europe thread" which this has now become...
simo Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Tadic with 12 league assists now. Only two players have more (Ozil and Eriksen). Since he made his debut in August 2014, only Cesc Fabregas (25) and Mesut Ozil (23) have more Premier League assists than Dusan Tadic (19)
aintforever Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 They've now lost 20 points from winning positions this season No plan B
suewhistle Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 You may all thank me. Went to my lucky pub and had a "few" pints of Hole Hearted, felt the tension, my agitation and blood pressure rising. Even at 1-0 down I felt we'd score and was even thinking it was time for Davis to step up, but!!!? I'm off for another cuppa and Amlodipine...
benjii Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 For the first 30 minutes we were played off the park; and they did look a class above us. They played well but created little and their goal was fortunate. Meanwhile we looked likely to score on the break and would have done if Tadic had pulled it a yard further back. You saw all the weaknesses in the Poch system today. This incredible, bright future, Spurs team has agreed total of five more points than it got last season if I'm not mistaken. And that in a weak season. I maintain that they have not improved much at all and will be lucky to finish top 5 if Utd, City and Chelsea get their act together. Meanwhile, we remain quite frustrating to watch at times but are arch-pragmatists. Beat Palace and a good chance of European football again... get in!
shurlock Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Great result at a bogey ground. Up there with coming back and beating the scousers.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 (edited) Class result. Forster quality at the end, after his to come out of his goal decisively cost. Second points tally in 2016 to Leicester. Great work from Koeman, lets keep him and build on the momentum. We have a good team so lets have an ambitious summer. That's better Charlie, feels much better than praising every other team doesn't it? We are a good side with a great manager, really, really hope he stays for a very long time Edited 8 May, 2016 by ALWAYS_SFC
Whitey Grandad Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Better start saving, my comment at half time during the Liverpool game that that ends our European hopes may have been a bit premature! Let's hope so! Dinner on me this time
david in sweden Posted 8 May, 2016 Posted 8 May, 2016 Did Virgil just say he wants to stay for "another couple of years"? He means.......a couple more years on top of his existing 4 year contract (now till 2022)
