Well I can’t be bothered to check, but I don’t think I would have to go back too far to discover exactly that sentiment. How many posts on here already have us in the Championship?

Okay maybe 'anyone' was wrong term but I don't think many genuinely think we're 100% down, taking posts made in the heat of the moment isn't a great indicator really either tbh.

I'd still say it's more likely than not as things stand though.

We've just been installed as third-likeliest for the drop by a lot of the bookmakers. We're officially relegation favourites.

I think that is the point I am making. I don’t underestimate the trouble we are in but I think that the “heat of the moment” comments are unhelpful to say the least.

They are probably only reacting on bets made today after our result.
Can see us, West Ham, Stoke and Palace with pretty much the same chance of going down, not much in it at all.
West Brom aren't included as they've got next to no chance of getting out of it.
 
Unless I am wrong, If Stoke lose on Monday, we aren't any worse off than this morning. In fact, we are perversely, better off. The other teams have one less game to get the points too :)

I am worried about relegation and think there is a huge chance we may go down, but I'll reserve my meltdown for the City game :)

Yeah definitely, can't wait for next week. Anyone who has read my posts over the years will know how I much I love cup competitions and it's still possible that the worst manager we've had in my time following Saints could end the season as our second most successful ever.

Yes things are a bit **** at the moment both on and off the pitch but we don't make the FA Cup quarter finals very often and it should be a great occasion. I'm certainly buzzing for it anyway.

Some might not like me saying this but to be frank if you can't get yourself up for a FA Cup quarter final, a very winnable one I might add, then regardless of all the other **** then I'd question if football is the sport for you.

Will the players be up for it? They weren't up for our biggest game of the season last week, and definitely not the game today.

They might get those deducted.

Not even a remote chance. As far as I am aware, the only time points have been deducted for fan conduct was more than 20 years ago with Brighton, and that took another pitch invasion after they were warned for an incident where their fans caused a match to be abandoned.

With respect; it will be a bit late then.

Agreed. Could have done without getting beat today by our relegation rivals though. That and giving them a much needed confidence boost while taking a bit of a hit ourselves.
Still 8 games to go :)

They’re a disgrace for all non football things. We’re a disgrace for football things. We had great players, managers, were just off top 4, a final, all quite recently. Now look at this utter shambles.

We probably should have seen it coming. If you sell your best players every season, you'll pay the price in the end. It's inevitable. We just got away with it for a while thanks to some surprisingly succesful replacements, but you can't hope to keep doing that.

I thought we were ****ed after Pochettino and half the squad left, but then we somehow hit the ground running the following september, with a football legend as our manager. Since then though, we haven't come close to replacing the players who have left.

We're still in the FA Cup though. How the **** has that happened?
