Think from a fans point of view they'd rather see us go down, as we'd been seen as more of a threat in the premier league. Why would Southampton want us down? Its the essiest 6 points they gor this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 That's just two games in isolation, they'd see us as more likely to overtake them as a force in the premier league than Bournemouth, for the simple fact that we have more resources and more pulling power. If you imagine we were midtable and Newcastle and Bournemouth were in a relegation battle, we'd probably prefer Newcastle to go down, even though we took four points from them and none from Bournemouth, for the same reason, Newcastle have the bigger potential to be a threat to us. Unless it's an arch rival it's the way most fans will think, although it's becoming less of a novelty fans of other clubs also love to see big clubs relegated. I don't think Southampton fans will be desperate for us to be relegated, but I bet if you were survey them more would take us going down than would take Bournemouth going down.

useless Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 You could also say it's a fact that Smith hasn't been good enough to keep us up. The idea that he's good enough and it's all the team's fault is equally just as much of an opinion rather than a fact. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Also, y'all thinking we're down already - smugly, I already thought we were down and had 'factored in' a point at Everton. 4 points from last 2 games, no reason we can't go unbeaten to the end of the season. Game on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 4 points still means relegation. Even if it would be enough point wise our GD is shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Its incredible that we have only managed 6 points in the 8 games since restart and we still have a miniscule chance. It was probably the easiest you’ll get to stay up as a newly promoted team. Feel absolutely gutted waking up this morning. After Calvert-Lewin put that chance wide we needed to break up the game and manage it better; we still had the chance to throw on 3 more subs. Anything just to stem the tide and pattern that was beginning to happen in that last 10 mins. Can never trust this fragile mentality the players have. But its the story of the season, cant put the ball in the net one end, cant keep it out the other. We never win the games with nothing in it, always manage to throw away leads. Deflating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Southampton isn't an easy game for Bournemouth, Southampton have the fifth best away record in the league, Man CIty who have the second best, have only taken three more points away from home. Also think that Everton will be determined to finish the season with a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith hasn't been able to keep this squad up and the squad has been terrible. There is still nothing to base the idea that we should have survived on. Looking at the squad and injuries and lack of improvement in january at least provides more evidence than Smith is shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
