Even the greatest manager to ever walk the planet Rafa Benitez has been relegated!

He's done a great job, despite what some of the nut jobs on here will say, hadn't they won 1 game when he took over? They definitely were heading for the drop anyway. People go on about the money but it's not like he's signed superstars, in Burn, Targett and Wood 3 sold premier league players but nothing better than that, Tripper has been injured from almost as soon as he got there and Guimeres has only made 4 starts i think. He did a great job at Bouremouth as well for most of his time there. Unfortuantely some people once they have made their mind they cant bare to give anyone any credit if that is a negative view of them whatever they do. Still reckon he'll be at St Marys as manager at some point.

Excellent right back, surely got to be first choice for England at the world cup.

Im not even sure we can compete with Palace and Brighton. Palace spent c£80m lthis season without sales whilst we made a profit. Brighton made a profit as well but only because they sold Burn and got big money for Ben White. They've historically outspent us so i'd expect them to spend that money again this summer, over the last 5 years they've blown us out of the water and like Palace dont appear to have to sell to buy like we do. In fact of all the clubs that have been in the premier league in the last five years the only ones that have a better/worse net spend than us are the current bottom 3, Bournemouth, Swansea and Brentford. Ridiculous considering we've been in the premier league for 10 years now.

Wunderkids: Building football’s most exciting young XI - week nine: Jamal Musiala, midfielder - BBC Sport didn't know this lad was with us once. Chelsea nicked him too.

And knocked them out the fa cup on Sunday

Would Elyanoussi have even made that pass?

Anyone know what The XG is at the moment?

He’s the most pointless pundit. Correct decision but unlucky

If they can win 6-0 in front of the chapel kop they can achieve anything

They’ve been brilliant. Peter Walton actually giving an opinion as well! Very unlucky that was disallowed

We’ve got super Martin Semmens he knows exactly what we need stephens at the back longy in attack southamptons gonna win the net spend league

this is what i used premier league only Southampton FC Statistics | Premier League

From Southampton. Simeu is as well isn't he, and Anjorin from Poole way, add in Mason Mount from down there and they seem to be creaming off a lot of the top talent in this area.

Hope this is true. Although i still believe we need an experienced leader at the back as we've currently got 3 very young inexperienced players as our current first choice back 4, whilst the other options at centre back aren't good enough.

and you dont know your left from rights.

You are very odd. Accusing others of not knowing what they're on about when you claimed a player was the best in the world in a postion he didn't even play in.

Jesus wept. I'll spell it out to you as you seem to be struggling, it was a flippant comment, not meant to be taken totally seriously and literally. You know like when someone says to you "knock, knock" do you know there isn't actually, literally someone at the door? It's like dealing with Rain Man on speed.

I know how it works pal, i was just making a point, the reason we didn't conede 10 on saturday wasn't because Chelseas XG was lower than 10.

Do you think when Ralph was setting the tactics up for saturday he thought to himself whatever i do there is no fucking way we are getting thumped here, their XG is only 4? If football was played on spreadsheets MLG would be Maradona.

If we can somehow scrap 4 more wins from somewhere across our last 7 games we are on course to match our total wins during the boring old Claudes season of 16/17. Still need 4 more goals though. For those that love a stat, boring old Claude who set us all to sleep we had 550 shots at goal during his season, last season under Super Ralph we had 424.

but but but, XG, something, something, something, no one ever concedes that many, but XG, XG, but XG.

He is exactly what Brighton need, well the Danny Ings that was at Saints was. If they can get him back into that form they've got a very good side there.

Man United, Arsenal and Villa all linked who would pay far more than we can sadly

Southend on sea being given city status, they saw you coming mate, some of you lot are so gullible, they’re laughing at you
