I can, it is quite easy to imagine such a situation and doesn't require a far fetched set of results... Saints beat Swansea Chelsea beat Huddersfield Arsenal beat Huddersfield Swansea beat Stoke Saints lose to Man City ...then Saints & Swansea are safe and Huddersfield go down if the GD situation remains similar

For us to go down like that it would also require Huddersfield getting another point from Chelsea and/or Arsenal.

Why? It doesn't need Saints getting a point or more vs Man City for Huddersfield to go down. If the following happens and it isn't a far fetched set of results... Saints beat Swansea Chelsea beat Huddersfield Arsenal beat Huddersfield Swansea beat Stoke Saints lose to Man City ...then Saints & Swansea are safe and Huddersfield go down if the GD situation remains similar

I think it is very unlikely Arsene Wenger will do anything other than pick his best team in his last ever game at Arsenal and try to go out with a win. Why do you think in his last game he'd play a 'vastly understrength team at Huddersfield'?

Romeu is not suspended. There is an amnesty for yellow cards suspensions in the final weeks of the season and that has past... http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/discipline/suspensions

It is a minimum figure, the game does not have to end at that the 4 minute mark.

They do if they want a decent chance of it being in their own hands. A draw would leave them vulnerable due to us and our significantly better GD. A victory admittedly against Man City at St Mary's for us and there is very little Swansea could do about it in their own game.

If we beat Swansea the goal difference swing needed for them to overtake us would at minimum be 9 on the final day.

A terrible performance and losing to Bournemouth today is not a huge lift for Swansea. Our result isn't much of a confidence boost for them, we are playing better than they are.

A point takes us out of the relegation zone. It is not **** or bust time.

Tablecloth press conferences are back! This time for announcing tinpot sponsorship deals... BBC Solent Sport‏ @solentsportFollowingFollowing @solentsport More #Pompey have announced the University of Portsmouth will be their main sponsor for the next 3 seasons

The position has now been filled.

Name some clubs that have had a similar number of high quality players to us. Palace, Villa, Sunderland, Stoke, West Brom, West Ham, Swansea etc etc simiply haven't had the number of high quality players we've had in the last 5 years. They left for the richest clubs in the world, that isn't a bad sign it is a positive one. Better to have had them and sold them, then plod along never signing a player the top clubs will want.

Other clubs have managed to keep players on such wages with parachute payments in the Championship. Plus unless we were daft many if not all the players would have wage decreases on relegation written into their contracts.

£5m! What extras? Because they'd have to be significant because he is worth a lot more than £5m. He has a decent amount of Premier League experience and is doing very well for a top Championship team. Half decent seasons in the Championship is seeing players go for £15m+, let alone £5m with 4 years left on your contract! I'd see Saints having very little incentive to sell a player like him for £5m especially when he is under contract until 2022. We got £16m for Chambers in 2014, the market has moved on since then.

How do you know when you don't know what "it" is? Why can't you put a number on it?

Because you need to state what a "reasonable fee is", because our view of what counts as an acceptable fee could differ. So it is a key point and valid question to ask

You'd need to be more specific as to what the fee offered was and the structure of it.

Targett is under contract until 2022, if Saints don't want him to leave he won't.

We can blow them out of the water for wage offers... Celtic wage bill 2016/17 = £52m Southampton wage bill 2016/17 = £112m If relegated parachute payments and sponsorship deals will still allow for a big wage budget.

I wouldn't rule it out completely, even in the Championship we'd probably have a bigger wage budget than Celtic.
