So as I calculate it, we can be relegated by this Sunday evening. 

If we lose against Palace tonight, Wolves beat Ipswich on Saturday, and then we lose against Spurs on Sunday, then we'll be on 9 points and Wolves will be on 32 points, meaning we'll be 23 points behind them with only 7 games/ 21 points left to play for. 

I think that would set another exciting new PL record, as no-one's been relegated before with seven left to play? Derby went down earlier by date in 2007/8 (they went down on the 29th March), but only had six matches left at that point. Huddersfield also went down earlier by date in 2018/19 (30th March), but they also had six left.  

Roy Castle would be proud of this side.

It will really hit home when I see that R next to our name in the league table

Saints smashing records left right and centre!

Genuinely think we should bring on a u16 player near the end of a game to get youngest ever player record,  needs to be younger than 

  1. Ethan Nwaneri (Arsenal) – 15 years, 181 days old

6 more defeats needed to break that record, we're well capable of that

a few more heavy defeats and we can break the worst goal difference too we're on -49 record is -69 so 21 needed, should be easily doable with 9 games left but we're currently on course for -64 on current form so the lads need to sort this one out

Fuck it play the two mascots as wingers in a 4-4-2.  Give it a proper go.

I worry that, once it's confirmed, we have a slump in form. 🙂

It would be more Saints-like to go on a blistering run of victories once it's completely irrelevant

Was it Forest who got relegated with three to play and then won all of the last three? 

I always remember when we played Derby last day of the season years ago, when we were comfortably safe and they'd already been relegated, and they pumped us 6-1

I think of my poor, Norwich supporting dad, who watched his team collapse towards the end of seasons, getting relegated with barely a whimper.

Can't be any stupider than putting Joe Aribo at fucking centre half 

It will be Aribo, Stephens and Manning

Ooooh a whimper! 

What I wouldn't give to get relegated with a whimper!

I would rather we did a "pissed up fans 11" ... if you get turned away at the turnstile for being drunk, you're on the pitch.

If you have to be relegated, this is the way to do it. Remember it is the hope that kills. We have had no hope since the Advent calendars appeared. No heart breaking moments like we endured in 2005. No endless analysis of the fixture list working out possible permutations. 

Being so crap means that we have been able to prepare for life in the Championship for several months now. Every cloud has a silver lining. 😁

I think in our first relegation from the old First Division, we were already down when we went to Goodison Park, scene of our normal defeats, and won 3-0!!

Perhaps we could do something similar and spoil the last game at Goodison, this season.

imagine if we get relegated with the record low points, come back up and then equal our own record like we did with the two 9-0s. You wouldn't put it past us would you 😂

This might be the most catastrophic scenario I've ever encountered on this forum.  😂

Just imagine it – and the terrifying bit is we're entirely capable of making it happen. If that nightmare actually unfolded, it should warrant a lifetime ban from top-tier football.

I think that's a brilliant idea. But not just U16, we have to make sure to go the whole hog so that we can hold onto that record for ever.

I want it confirmed as soon as possible because you just know the second that happens, these shithouses will turn into fucking Barcelona and we'll beat Derby's record.

That's all I fucking want.

We simply cannot go down as the worst ever Premier League team. Ffs.

I don't think relegation being "confirmed" will makes any difference.

It was confirmed before kick off last night, it was confirmed before we kicked off against Wolves. No one went into those games thinking we could still stay up.
