For Saints to need 41 points to stay up it would require (given our goal difference)... - Wigan to get 9 points from Arsenal away, Swansea home, West Brom away plus importantly Villa home. AND - Villa to get 7 points from Sunderland home, Norwich away, Chelsea home plus importantly Wigan away. AND - Newcastle, Sunderland, Norwich, Stoke, Fulham to overtake 41 points in next 4 games ................. Can you not see why it is extremely unlikely as it ALL has to happen, not just some of it? What do you gain from such trolly nonsense? We all know you are a troll and hopefully you know you are a troll or else you are truly insane!

That conflicts with your statements over how many points you think Saints need. In order to do such a thing you need to predict how teams will do so you can work out a points total. If you actually did use the BBC predictor you will see how unlikely it is for Saints to go down given all the results that would need to happen. Mr Troll, either do the predictor or shut up about it.

Why are you not going to provide a screenshot of your BBC predictor league table with Saints relegated Dalek2003? I know you are a troll, but at least provide me with an excuse or actually provide the screenshot!

You still didn't answer the question. Please provide a list of results that would see Saints relegated, easiest way would be to use the BBC predictor and put a screenshot on here of the final league table. I'm intrigued if he can maintain being a troll about this after using the BBC predictor link. I think he'll give it a good go regardless of seeing how unlikely it would be for Saints to be relegated given the actual situation with few games left, a number of teams below Saints and some having to play each other.

Last season you said we'll come 17th in the Championship, we actually stayed in the top 2 all season and were promoted. Will you be providing us a screenshot of your BBC predictor results?

Why do you bother with such nonsense year after year? Please use this and post a screenshot of the scenario that sees Saints relegated... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/predictor/default.stm

Why drop Rodriguez?

It is a video put on Youtube in January 2007, when George Burley was the Southampton manager.

UPDATE: The BBC have now changed that article. But they acknowledge the change here... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22329676

The BBC are wrong, if Reading & QPR draw they are both down today and don't wait until Monday as Villa & Wigan play each other on last day. So 17th will have a minimum of 35 points and a draw for QPR & Reading means max they can get is 34 points. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21686144

I prefer talking to trousers about peanuts, than Turkish about anything.

Been watching QI Mr Trousers?

They are legumes.

Reminiscent of this...

Our form since the squad adapted to the Premier League in the beginning of November has been that of a top 7 team. As a newly promoted side we have a good chance of a top 10 finish in our first season back, I doubt Cortese will be happy to settle for the same again next season. He brought in Pochettino for a reason, that reason is unlikely to be because he is happy to see mid table mediocrity year after year. If we can come mid table in our first season when it took 10 games to get going (1 win, 1 draw, 8 defeats and 28 goals conceded in those opening 10 games), imagine what we'd do with more investment this summer, a pre-season with the squad for Pochettino and a squad now already adapted to life in the Premier from day one of the season. We should (in theory) have a better season next season.

Did Everton spend £150m? Did Newcastle spent £150m? etc etc In any case Saints spent close to £40m in 2012/13, plus had a number of players in the squad already worth a great deal of money before the summer of 2012 spending spree - Shaw, Lambert, Lallana, Schneiderlin, Cork.

Do you cheer when Saints score or sit in silence?

I'm sure he is great bloke, he comes across as nice on the radio. But his views on football are very outdated and he is like a broken record saying things like every time Saints take the lead... "what Saints don't want to do now is concede a goal". Really Dave?... insightful stuff!

It does still happen.

No he didn't. He said "in next 3 or 4 years"... http://www.talksport.co.uk/radio/saggers-and-quinny/blog/2011-06-22/kean-im-sure-blackburn-will-be-champions-league-next-three-or-four-years Plus he also was a terrible manager working for clueless owners. Based on track records in football ownership and resources, which would you have more trust in to achieve their ambitions? or

It does make sense, if there is more room in the stadium (not the capacity). But is it true and has he actually got the research to prove it or is it just another Pompey myth plucked out of the air? All the other stadiums around the same capacity of Fratton Park. He isn't even right when he says Fratton Park has a 20,000 capacity so I included all stadiums around the 20k to 22k mark... 22k Stadium:mk 21k Turf Moor 21k Ashton Gate 21k Fratton Park 20k Liberty Stadium 20k Meadow Lane Fratton Park is certainly not bigger than Stadium:mk, they even have the space to rise capacity to 32,000 already, just need to put the seats in the upper tier... So what has Iain McInnes done to know Fratton Park is bigger than Turf Moor, Ashton Gate, Liberty Stadium and Meadow Lane?

Really?

73 years after the aborted "Operation Sealion", it looks like 50,000 Germans are heading to invade London.

So if he did this we should just accept it, not question it and play along...? NORTH Aston Villa Everton Chelsea Liverpool Manchester United Fulham Norwich City Queens Park Rangers Reading West Ham United SOUTH Arsenal Southampton Swansea City Stoke City Sunderland Newcastle United Sunderland West Bromwich Albion Wigan Athletic Tottenham Hotspur Manchester City He had 2 team in the wrong category. What if it was 4, 6, 8? Would you just let him get that wrong and play along? How has pointing it out "ruined the thread"?
