Tuesday 8th May - Swansea 0-1 Southampton

[Stan]

Kick-off 19.45

 

A 6-pointer if ever there was one.

A win for either goes a long way to helping secure survival. 

Any result also has a knock-on effect on Huddersfield and West Brom. Huddersfield still aren't mathematically safe. West Brom could get relegated if either side wins.

Southampton's booking at the Swansea Marriott was cancelled because of a virus, but they're still open to members of the public 

Inevitably Saints fans have ruined their rating on trip advisor.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I want a nice boring draw so WBA have a chance of staying up.

[DeadLinesman]

Draw will do nicely. Sets it up for the weekend.

And now they’ve been kept on the bus half an hour after arriving at the stadium. Somethings going on surely....

This'll be a 1-1 draw.

All this shit about the hotel and coach surely will galvanize Southampton.

I hope they stay up. With the team they've got, and the money they'll throw at promotion, I think they'll cruise The Championship. Whilst Swansea, Stoke, Huddersfield and West Brom would all get dragged in to the mud.

Not sure what I want here. While it would be great to see Swansea drop in the best form of irony (giving it the big one as a well run club in comparison to us before succumbing to premiership greed, selling off prized assets and now struggling to stay up), I would love our derby in the top flight again as well.

[Stan]

This, as expected, has been dire.

Swansea shading it though and looking more likely to get a goal. 

[Dave]

God this is hard to watch.

[Honey Honey]

Forgot that a draw means West Brom can stay up. Another great escape come on.

[Stan]

Charlie Austin is the man you'd rely on in the box in a game like this and he's had a few chances but spurned them all. The quality isn't great but this game is on a knife-edge...

[DeadLinesman]

Remember when people rated Tammy Abraham? He’s aids.

I honestly can't  - glad to have missed that hype train.

Early on in the season. Got found out real quick and dropped back to the bench.

GOAL!!!!

GABBIADINI scores for Southampton!

[Stan]

That goal looked so lucky  

Looked like Andre Ayew kicked it on to Gabbiadini's foot

Huddersfield are going down

We can only hope.

Huddersfield vs Arsenal
Southampton vs Man City
Swansea vs Stoke

All at home.

Swansea need to win AND hope the other 2 lose their games. Big day.

If it stays as is, it would need a decent goal swing for Southampton to be relegated.

Hoping Huddersfield get one more point.

[Dave]

It's over. Southampton pretty much safe considering their goal difference. Best result all round.

O WEN THE SAINTS

They aren't going to lose 10-0 So I don't know why Le Tissier was spouting the "not safe yet" bollocks after the game. 

[Lucas]

Southampton staying up on 36 points. Jesus. What a standard. They are lucky to be the best of a bad bunch.
