Is that we got the job done with three matches to go

We all know what would have happened if it had come down to the last two or god help us the last one

We've seen enough now to know that the pressure of the one off occasion this team can't quite manage - good job we've got 38 games next season

Congrats to Chris and the team for their great consistency across the entire season

Yeh I still have a laugh about that with the Saints fan in my office. Going up second really didn't seem to do them much harm

Southampton never really got in the races that season til the back end of September. Then they suddenly clicked and motored on up the division like a vintage Ferrari, while we finally trundled over the line like a Trabant.

Perhaps the biggest saving grace is that 47 points was enough to keep us up two years ago; in many seasons including this it wouldn't. Cannot see that we would have had two successive promotions from then.
