Always loved him. Keep him, please. His performance v Bournemouth was the equivalent of Beckham v Greece.

Thought we played really well. A bit annoying to concede at the death, but am not sure it was an error, De Bruyne's ball was amazing.. To my mind, an inability to finish was the problem for us (again!). But we played really well today and the score didn't matter for once ( given it didn't get absurd on the 10 goal swing stuff)

Not sure how much you can read into the lap of honour (I'm still scarred by Pahars' farewell)...but I fear Cedric and Tadic are off. I'd like to keep them both. I'd only get rid of deadwood (Boufal, Carillo) or those who want to move on for whatever reason (Gabbiadini, Bertrand, Cedric, Tadic, Yosh may be in the latter category, but hope not for any of them)

Best analysis was on TalkSport the other day. (not often I say that) Easily Saints' worse manager ever - about as much use as a catflap on a submarine.

It's just a bit unnerving, isn't it? Should be fine, obviously...I'm not expecting Stoke to deliberately lose 8-0 or 9-0. But I suppose a 5-0 win for Swansea and a 5-0 loss for us is just about plausible on the pessimistic extremes. The bookmakers make us about 100/1 to still be relegated.

Did we ever stay up when it wasn't in our own hands? I always seem to remember we held our destiny in our own hands each time we survived (we may have relied on results elsewhere, but we never needed to if we did our bit)

Not quite, it would need a nine goal swing. If we beat Swansea, but lose 5-0 to City and they beat Stoke 4-0, they finish ahead of us.

Basically, the Tuesday match is a play-off. Winner stays up, loser goes down. A draw probably means we go down.

Betfair Exchange...staretd at 26/1, but i only placed the bet after 10 minutes of the game elapsing

I've put £50 on a Man City-Huddersfield 0-0 draw at 22/1

Basically need to beat Swansea. Horrific ending.

Come on. FFS.

Unbearable....this is an insanely vital 15 minutes. Want to hit fast forward so badly.

Nice!

Could do with a Bournemouth goal...it's going to be one of us, Huddersfield and Swansea now...other long-shots pulling away

Damned good point. Come on, Griezman and co...

Where are Saints fans gathering on Sunday? Baker Street?

Now, I'd take 2-2 ;-)

Damn. Well, I'd now take 1-1.

I'd take a 0-0. No question.

Terminal collapse

Depends totally on which division we're in. If relegated - which I think is likely - I'd definitely keep Redmond and Long. If we escape the drop, I'd definitely sell them.

Odd substitution, but good to see the halftime teamtalk worked!

We are getting pummelled here....

Hmmmm...not a great opening 15 minutes
