ALWAYS_SFC Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 Agreed. Amazing how the "relish in our demise" posse are few and far between this evening.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 Have to say I thought we were certain relegation candidates it's been more than a great escape!

Wilf Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 "Genuinely don't give two sh1ts that we lost...WE ARE STAYING UP!!!!!!!!! " Absolutely right !!! I was ready to celebrate a 1:3 defeat, and the performance was better than we could have reasonably expected... so... let's enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaSaint Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 Genuinely don't give two sh1ts that we lost...WE ARE STAYING UP!!!!!!!!! Hold yer horses. Swansea stayed out on the pitch and are still shooting at the empty net, if they get another 9 we are fooked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Billy Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 Shattered after this last week and relieved we are safe, but my god there is a lot of work to be done to stop a repeat of that mess, Hughes as permanent manager will be a great start. Well done saints, thanks for the coronary!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5string Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 Still sinking in, really. Tuesday was the big one, tbh, and it's a shame to lose the last game (in injury time again!!), so not the high feeling I might otherwise have had. But yeah, it's cool. Looking forward to the summer transfer dealings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 Saints fans can dance if they want to, We can leave Pompey behind, Cause the Skates don't dance and if they don't dance Well they're no friends of mine! Hopefully this dreadful season will be the kick up the arse the Southampton board need for a positive summer of improvement. Starting with the appointment of Mark Hughes next week & then player recruitment with some ambition shown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 Yep, fans really did their bit today. I thought the vibe for the Bournemouth game was good, but today was exceptional. Not heard OWTS sung so loud and for so long, for a long time. Loved the spoof 'handball' shouts from the Northam as well, funny as ****.Great atmosphere from start to finish today.

Saint Albert Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 Feels good to be staying up. Definitely the least bothered I’ve been with a PL loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_D Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 Actually feels a bit weird that we're still in the Prem! When we were 5 points adrift with 5 games to go, on a run of 1 win in however many.... it seemed unlikely we would stay up. I'd started to come to terms with going to watch Championship football next season. Even after we beat Swansea, the close nature of the last three games, sqeezing out results, doing just enough and finally getting some luck actually going our way this season... it still doesn't seem quite real that we actually pulled it off, to the point I was going to the game today almost expecting some sort of karmic retribution and the 10 goals to be turned around. It'll sink in at some point that we've done it and I can relax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefizzy14 Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 It feels so good to know that we are staying up! Shame that we lost to a last minute goal again in added on added time! But never mind that, suppose at least City got their100 points. Can't wait for this summer's transfer dealings. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 14 May, 2018 Share Posted 14 May, 2018 Never in doubt! Thankfully we didnt need a point to stay up. How cruel would it be to go down to a 94th minute goal? It has been a strange old season. For much of it, it seemed as if everyone outside the top six was in a relegation battle. This time last year who'd have thought that Mark Hughes would be our saviour and that he would be the fans pick for the next three seasons? Fair play to him for the job he has done but it also showed that the squad was underperforming badly and by sticking to some basics he was able to get the results we needed to stay up. Puel has proved that, despite his critics, he is a capable mid table manager and he can send teams out to score goals. Despite finishing second, Manchester United are no longer the force they once were and look like being overtaken by Liverpool next season. Odd to see WBA, Stoke and Swansea all go down together and it just goes to show that, outside of the top six, no one is safe. I can see the same happening next year and the Board will need to recruit carefully in the summer if we want to stay out of this bun fight next season. As for Hughes, is he the best option for us going forward? I would like to see the Board look at a variety of options before handing him a new contract but it looks like he has probably done enough to get the gig. It reminds me of the debate when Pearson was in the same position, kept us up but was dispensed with. Based on recent years,Hughes would be a most un-Saints like appointment. But maybe the Board and the new owners will have been shaken by this season and will go for a safe pair of hands during a rebuilding period? We probably wont do any better under Sparky than mid table but for clubs like us, that is not the end of the world. And now to Dalek, who is no doubt nursing a sore head after celebrating his annual prediction that has, finally, come right - if nothing else proving the obvious statements that even a stopped clock is right twice a day and that if something can possibly happen, then it probably will. So then, on to the close season and, maybe, a clearer insight as to what the new owners have planned for us. Never a dull moment being a Saints fan! Onwards and upwards (hopefully).

lickierambert Posted 14 May, 2018 Share Posted 14 May, 2018 Staying up with 7 wins, 5 of which were against clubs that were an utter shambles at the time. That is impressive in itself. If we're in any doubt about the size of the task ahead, I went through the 30 listed first team squad and felt 19 could/should leave. Major, major work needed starting with a contract for Hughes this week. No delays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
