Umm... we are currently 7th and can still finish 5th or 6th. The last time we finished higher than 8th was 25 years ago!

We are 1 point behind 6th place with two games left. The season is not over.

I think its more likely to be Steven Davis in his usual "number 10" role in a 4-2-3-1 system, with Elia and Mane out wide.

And they are?

His contract expires on 30th June 2016.

Gazzaniga's main problem in the past when in the 1st team has been his decision making at when to come off his line or not. I think he has a lot of other good attributes and the decision making can be improved with age and coaching from a keeper coach like David Watson.

Is it? Why?

Time for an epic rap battle...

Ward-Prowse is suspended.

If he wasn't interested he could use his broken shoulder as an excuse and go back to Madrid. Instead he has said... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32473929 ...and is playing through the pain.

ART, there is a difference between training and being in the match day squad.

Welcome to a capitalist society. Supply and demand... club anticipated the demand for tickets for this game would outweigh supply, so have valued the tickets according. The game has sold out 10 days before match day... Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC 4m4 minutes ago BREAKING: #SaintsFC's final home game of the season against @AVFCOfficial has now sold out. Thanks for your support!

They will start in the 3rd round of the League Cup, if they are in European competition.

Saints would only get a bye through the 2nd round of the League Cup.

Its been "revised"... Amy Lewis ‏@SkySportsAmy Sources: @SouthamptonFC are confident Jay Rodriguez will sign a new contract with them - he's been offered a revised 5 yr deal

They aren't Southampton academy players, they play for local under 9's teams Sholing Youth, Queenskeep FC, Littleton FC and Hedge End Eagles. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20150506-veho-academy-experience-2442904.aspx

Umm.. why?

Did you actually read what I said in the context of what I was replying to? I was replying to this question... I made no comment on if it should have been a red card or penalty. I was merely stating how long Ward-Prowse will be suspended for if no successful appeal is made. Exactly! But Turkish likes to jump on any post I make and in this case is very, very wrong.

It was a straight red card, but it is a 1 match ban for what the ref deemed denying a goalscoring opportunity. Like when Gardos was sent off vs Sheffield United and only missed one game.

Saints wouldn't start at the beginning of the qualifying.

1st round of the League Cup is only one game, it goes to extra time and then penalties if its a draw. For example this crazy game... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28652337

If you take the question to its extreme; a League 1 or League 2 team could at least in theory (but ridiculously unlikely) be in all of the following... - FA Cup (with replays) - League Cup - Champions League or Europa League - World Club Championship - Community Shield - European Super Cup - JPT Plus have a 47th match of their league season to determine league placing. Followed by three more games in the play offs. So 50 league games plus absolutely loads of domestic, European and World cup games.

Possible for it to be 39 if a playoff is required to determine league placings if everything else is level.
