Yes agree, the atmosphere at St Mary's (and away from home) is far from toxic. No idea why some say it is - maybe they don't go. They certainly couldn't have been at the Dell under Branfoot or at St Mary's when Lowe was in his last season.

At least now the players actually realise they are in the **** and in real danger of going down. It was only a few weeks ago the thick ****s were still on about qualifying for Europe again.

No, we wont go back up we will be more likely be nearer the bottom than the top. I think we could be in serious financial difficulties too. We have signed players on long contracts on big wages and i'm not sure who would take any of our hands. I am also not convinced the club put a relegation clause in the contacts as I think the club were so arrogant that they thought we wouldn't get relegated. Then there is the much publicised loan our owner took out to buy us.

Yep that’s the way it reads to me .

Its all here: https://southamptonfc.com/matches/2017-18/fa-cup/chelsea-v-saints-2018-04-22/ticket-info It states clearly that you can buy a membership after 18th march and get a cup semifinal ticket.

Yes i dont think we will sell out either, looking this morning on the ticket site there is good availability in the bottom tier in all blocks other then those down the sides. And the top tier hardly any have been sold at all with one more window of season ticket sales before opening up to members - not sure how many members we have. There is one part of the ticket sale schedule that might help sell a few tickets: Thursday 12th April (9am) – Supporters who have purchased AT LEAST THREE qualifying fixtures against their Supporter Number OR Official Members without a purchase history. Anybody could by a membership today and get a cup semifinal ticket on Thursday.....

Have you tried looking on the clubs official web site ? I’m not certain, but I would have thought it would say stuff like ticket prices / on sale dates etc

Cup for me. To win win the cup would be something special. plus we have 7 other league games to get enough points to stay up.

We have returned a block to Arsenal , seams a bit premature as although tickets have been on general sale there was still 3 weeks to the game and with it being on a Sunday more fans may have been able to go. Sold out now.

I think being ****ing **** for 30 games will be critical to our seasons out come

Yes agree, my group were talking about the possibility of the Arsenal game moving at Newcastle last weekend. My only surprise really was that there wasn't any mention of the possibility when the Monday fixture was announced something like " Please note that if Arsenal are away in Europe then this game will move to Sunday" like we have had previously.

No it didn't. In fact i thought it was the lowest we've taken to Burnley for a standard 3pm kick off.

Not sure we will have money to spend - we will lose upwards of £15 million in prize money alone compared to last season. I'm also not convinced we will sign him if we do somehow stay up - guess we will find out by august 9th. No idea why you would think Eddie howe would leave Bournemouth to come to Saints.

Cup win. We have won one cup in over 130 years of trying. We have played top flight football for near on 50 of those 130 odd years. You get rememberd by winning things not finishing midtable in the top league..

looks the correct descion by the club not to take our full 15% allocation for this.

We must have only asked for the smaller allocation. Not surprising really as we play them on Saturday and not sold out yet

And failing to beat Stoke, Bournemouth, Watford and Brighton away.....

Agree with this. There is no evidence we will pick up enough points from the next 14 games to get us out of the bottom 3. We couldn't beat Huddersfield and Palace at home and Watford away all sides who you would call are our relegation rivals.

Win the FA Cup , with have won 1 in over 130 years, we have played top flight football for near on 50 seasons out of 130 odd years.

Yes agree. He comes in for some unfair criticism, both on here and at actual matches in my opinion. I read somewhere that he has been involved , either assisting or scoring over 40 goals in his time with us. Not bad.

Yep agree. Unfortunately there is no evidence we are going to win many more games this season or even get enough points to stay up. In fact it wouldn't totally surprise me if we finished bottom.

Couldn't agree more.

Down with the clown We're going down with the clown Down with the clown We're going down with the clown I'm not sure the squad of players is a good as some of our fans make out, but with a better manager we wouldn't be in the bottom 3 with the fixtures we have played.

I know a Clown who comes from the circus every week.

Or we could keep him, change our system and off load the Clown?
