Lowest ever total for 8th before this season was 49 points (Fulham 2011 and WBA 2013).
Yet another game where we haven't scored. He's got to go.
Didn't know where else to put this, James Rodriguez joining Man Utd, may be announced on Sunday
Actually found a decent article in the Mail Online on final placings and how much clubs could or may not earn. The message is, there are no dead matches in the PL. There's too much money at stake: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...emier-League-money-table-no-dead-rubbers.html
For example, Saints could finish as high a 8th [current position] or as low as 13th. 8th gets them £24.7M. 13th gets them £15.2M Which basically means that it's not time for those flip-flops yet.

Wouldn't say it was awful. I'd say it was competitive. Hence the points spread is very fine amongst several teams. Everton had nothing to do this season. Did nothing in the League Cup - beaten by Norwich in the 3rd round at home. Did nothing in the FA Cup - beaten by Leicester at home in the 3rd round. Were they really that strong for a supposedly traditionally big club.? I don't think they were over achieving at all. We'll see how good they are next season, when they have a Europa commitment. That's if they get through the qualifiers.
And no beachwear for us in these last two games either.
Completely agree. I have said for years now that they are the 7th best side in this division. They just horribly under achieved for the past two years under Martinez, in my view. Ron has got them back to where they should be, no more than that. Getting them to 7th absolutely doesn't compare to getting us to 6th.
Obviously I disagree on your opening point though, as I have already made my point. Yes it may well have been competitive, but that doesn't mean it's not been bad. Just lots of bang average sides, with little quality amongst them.
