14th June next game

Preston 1-0 up after just 3 mins

Ho hum; 2-0 to Citeh. To be expected, I suppose.

Now we need Arsenal to win the FA cup, if we're to play in the Europa League next season. Can't believe I'm saying this, but "Come on, the Gooners". There has to be a first time for everything

On the up side, Jay Rodriguez has signed a new 4-year contract with Saints (for whatever that's worth, nowadays) and says he's fitter and better than ever. We'll see.

Onwards and upwards.............

europa league = poison chalice..

 

[johnboy412000]

Good Luck Middlesbrough and Norwich have a great day and may the best club go up

europa league = poison chalice..

Well yes, up to a point. It's a strain on (usually) limited resources and doesn't carry quite the kudos of the Champions League.

However:

(1) It would be great to be able to say "We're in Europe this season, you know" and,
(2) As previously mentioned, If Saints got into the Europa Cup we'd do a repeat of last time and get knocked out in the first round by some obscure Greek team, anyway, so it won't matter much.

The rest of Europe treat the Europa cup as a priority, rather than we treat it as a sideshow to the league.
There can be great rewards to get from the cup, especially in the semi-finals and final. Indeed, you qualify automatically for the champions league if you win it now!
European clubs move their league games to suit Europa cup game's, rather than what we do, first premiership than telly gets priority to the cup!
We live in a crazy country, most of it is **** about face!

Ain't that the truth!

And not just about football

Anyway, whatever happens next weekend ("Come on, Arsenal"! ), it's been a stonking season down here in the balmy South. Here's to more - much more - of the same in 2015/16, and to success to all the teams whose fans turn up here to share their joys and sorrows every week .
