Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
Hoping next Sunday's game isn't like going to a wake to find the guest of honour is the life and soul of the party!

You talking about Southampton?
Their squad is terrible. JWP aside they’re only capable at being shit,

Disappointed they dropped today. Usually a team relegated before
See it in every league, every season. Once relegation is confirmed and they have nothing to play for and the pressure is off, teams in this position quite regularly go on decent runs.
Agree with this.

Rather have a southern team in PL. Anyway I cant decide if relegation is better today than when we beat them? Sometimes teams relax and play better when the pressure is off. On balance though probably better they arrive at the Amex already doomed.

One gone; it isn't us. That'll do for me!

I’m going to miss one of the few grounds left in the epl where you could enjoy having a couple of excellent beers in a cracking pub within easy walking distance of the ground and leave your car in their car park.
for that I’m a bit sad, but other than that, they deserved to go down for being utterly crap.

One less team singing that dirge, "When the ****s go marching in," can only be a good thing.

Odds on to beat us, as they are in the bottom 3.

Football League Championship, 2005-06. We finished in last place and lost our final three games, including getting thumped 1-5 at home by Stoke City on the last day of the season.

Are you sure? That can’t be right can it? When we were 10 points clear of them we had to ‘keep up’ with them!
Such a shame if true

In Mark McGhee’s defence, we had the lowest budget in the League by a country mile, (pre Tony, Dick was doing all he could but there was basically no money) he had effectively told the board this was probably the most likely outcome at both preseason and January, but unlike Peter Taylor he didn’t walk when he had the chance.
It wasn’t a whimper, I remember some real rolling up of the sleeves shifts, we just weren’t good enough.
Really? Isn’t this a bit of a myth?

As many have mentioned, Southampton aren't really on my radar. Not one of the first away fixtures I'd look up either. Just another team.

When was the last time they were in a lower division than us? Must’ve been decades ago?

And now their "south coast derby" will be with Plymouth. Excellent.

That is a little over the top. I just read the beginning of the story (as I don’t have a subscription) but it is about 2003, a time when Brighton fans were involved in disorder at Southend . Best steer clear of generalizations. We had a great chat with Burnley fans at one of the local pubs last time we went. It’s a decent away day in a beautiful area of the country.
