We win next week and we will be either bottom or second bottom, second bottom because a team that will also be relegated have lost to the team at the top of the league. That's not "in the mix". That's "relegation candidate team wins an occasional match". It's not about being Eeyore, I've spent the last few years telling lunatics on this forum that were absolutely convinced we were going down that we obviously weren't - last season, and the season before, and the season before that. On and on some people went about how we were being "dragged into it" when we had the points on the board and it was clear we were safe. This year, its the other way round, sadly. There comes a point when you can see it. There's not enough games left, we are not suddenly going to hit top 8 form to turn it round. I want us to win next week, just like every week. But a spade is a spade. In all honesty I really want to see us get a trip to Wembley, thats far more interesting to me now.

Sorry this is bollocks. Six points is not "nothing", it's loads of points. 14 games is nowhere near enough games to turn it round. We can win the next two, get those six points but we'd still be incredibly likely to be in the bottom three. We really need to stop pretending we're in some group with teams miles above us in the table and we're all battling it out. We're not. We're stone bottom and we will be one the 3 relegated teams. Get used to it.

If the question is "why are we getting relegated", then that's a pretty good answer.

Well, they didn't want to commit to Marsch beyond the end of the season so it's pretty obvious that the club will assess things in the summer. SR don't need to "answer anything soon". Let's see where we are in the summer, just like pretty much every other relegated club since the dawn of time. Honestly if your view of Selles is that he won't even try because he hasn't got a long term commitment then we wouldn’t actually want him to stay would we?

We're really proving them boffins wrong and no mistake.

heaven forbid we ever play any match time with a left back and a right back playing left and right back.

We are never, ever, ever going to score.

We've significantly upgraded him with that record signing we made in January.

Do not include footage of anyone trying to tell you that Southampton Company Union Men was a real thing.

I think the more important fact is we beat Chelsea but we are still bottom - it's a pointless exercise to extrapolate from that one game as it has no more value than us losing against Forest or Wolves or Villa.

I lived through the Le Tiss/Pahars etc great escapes so I know for some the belief that "we will win three games in a row and get out of it" will carry on until there is 3 games left. You don't really need to be a "statto" to predict a team that won last week but still stone bottom will be relegated. I admire the optimism, but I think it is entirely possible that yes under Selles our form will improve, but we still go down.

I only listen to one Athletic podcast - Football Cliches - which I do really like and isn't about betting at all. Beyond that I think I am paying £1 a month so for that it's fine. If we get relegated I will definitely cancel as I don't think we will get even the limited coverage we get now.

He's only got a deal to the end the season, so better to announce it now while his stock is high and there us a general consensus that this is a good idea. if we see how he does "after a few games" and he loses them all, then what are we announcing - he's got the job anyway, or that he's sacked, or what. After "a few games" no one else is going to come in to manage 10 games to relegation. Get it announced and let's see how these final games go.

The Athletic have got their boffins to run the numbers and they've got us not only relegated but finishing bottom.

I wish we were Ukraine.

I didn't realise SaturdayGirl and Bad Wolf were the same person until it was far, far too late 😪 Has anyone got any hemorrhoid cream?

I am offering tiered access to my account, using the SaintWeb business experts' preferred "Dynamic Pricing" model. Small Fry: for £6 per month full permission to post 6 "Jesus wept" posts per calendar month. Frying without wings: £8 per month for all the above plus plus one "...so that means goals goals goals" post for a single substitution event occuring in each league fixture. Fryday I'm in love: £12 a month for all the above plus a commemorative plain red T-Shirt. This package is incredibly popular in China. Colinjb package: you pay double the above but you don't ever use any of the benefits at all. You just give me the money.

Rupert Lowe's legacy right there 👍

I imagine @hotsaint , being such a long standing Saints fan, was absolutely buzzing after our great result on Saturday.

Jesus wept.

Best scenario for us is Moyes sacked, they waste two weeks on a replacement who then comes in and shits the bed.

We really want Selles but before we do that, let's make sure absolutely everyone knows he's not our first choice.

100% - look im on board, he's coming across well, the subs worked and the players are playing for him. Got to beat Leeds though.

I like that we are seeing a consensus that Selles is great on exactly the same time scale that would have been written off as a "typical knee jerk impatient" reaction if we had lost yesterday and anyone said that he was shit. Well done everyone 👏 👍
