Imagine the reaction if Saints were doing a Leicester. But they already did of course. I can sense that false hope building once more.

I notice that Sky are creaming themselves all over Saudi United again today. Not a pretty sight and almost makes me long for the Championship.

Oh well. There goes a local game for me next season. Saints won't be visiting Reading.

Bung another tier on at the Gasworks end and chuck the away fans up there. Probably only cost the equivalent of one Onuachu and it'd make St Mary's less of the welcoming-to-visiting-teams place it currently is.

Given what Palace have done by getting an old-timer in, has anyone sounded out Lawrie to see if he fancies taking charge for a few games? 😇

Anyone remember the heady days of January under Mr Jones that saw us on a streak of three wins on the trot? Not all in the league mind you but it did happen. But Selles will set us up to try and hold Forest at bay - and then we'll lose 0-1. Can't really see even where one point is coming from in the remaining games. Get it over and done with asap.

Anyone banking on 3 other teams getting a large points deduction? Mind you Saints would likely still finish behind them.

Can't defend. Can't attack. Saints look totally beaten.

Can't defend crosses.

That is offside. Come on VAR.

Surely his toe is offside.

Selles chooses to make the side worse with some odd substitutions.

Does Sully put studs in his boots?

Normal service has been resumed.

This sort of performance from Saints just makes me even more annoyed that they don't turn up against teams at Friendly To Opponents St Mary's.

Has Selles looked at the league table?

If Newcastle are looking to pick up one or two Saints players at the end of the season maybe they'll go easy on them to avoid them getting injured. 😇 That's if any players looking for a move haven't already declared themselves unfit or tired or sick of course.

Promoted in second place just behind Reading who could now well be dropping down to the 3rd tier.

It really is amazing how Saints haven't been cut totally adrift yet. I await those that will remind us that 4 wins out of five will easily save our souls.

Certainly looks that way. Only the small clubs get points deducted.

I find myself looking at the Championship table rather than the lower reaches of the EPL all of a sudden. Welcome to next season.

I'm fully expecting AA to be shipped off elsewhere in the Championship next season where he'll start scoring for fun. Who can doubt that he'll then rock up at Friendly To Opponents St Mary's and claim a hat-trick.

If anyone had scored against Bournemouth you can guarantee that Selles would be dropping them for this game. But nobody did score although Adams did have the ball in the net so presumably he'll be on the bench for this one. The B team have acquired a winning mentality so some of them should be knocking at the door, although not for this game. Could be a case of PTSD after the expected mauling up at Newcastle. Could do worse than just picking names from a hat to be honest. Get Jones back to do the honours for a bit of a laugh.

Adams scored with a header against Bournemouth back in the distant days when Saints weren't bottom. Yet.

Some good news at least then.
