    Haha, mine tend not to be so it pleases me to see the red notification! I just think it makes for an easier read that way round though (not just for the person who posed the q).

    For those of you thinking that the 10 goal swing can still happen, get yourselves on skybet. Odds of 150/1 for us to get relegated now, worse case scenario is you can buy yourself a season ticket in the championship with the winnings.

    Not that it would be likely to overturn that differential anyway, but us playing Man City has suddenly gone from a bad thing to a very good one.

    Man City has nothing to play for. They can either try to trounce us 8-0 for no gain, with the crowd turning angry and the match likely turning physical and then face a riot getting out of St. Mary's. Or they can go rest some guys, play some youth, jog around leisurely and enjoy the close of a great season, no one gets hurt. And if they do that, we're happy to do the same. A small Man City win is a win for everyone in the stadium, including both sets of supporters.

    I suspect both teams will make a semi-reasonable go of it for a half, with the likely result being a 1-0 or 2-0 Man City lead. And then there's no reason why the second half shouldn't just be one big party for everyone involved.

    Like both teams but Udders is only a quick jaunt away for me whereas Swansea is at least a weeks driving. Wanted to go to Udders this season but a lot of selfish ST holders decided to venture oop north and took all the tickets. Talk about thoughtless!

    I think that Sunday's match will be quite interesting. The result last night will take off all the pressure and I think we will witness a relaxed Saints performance where the players will be looking to express themselves. Given that Man City have already wrapped up the title and the star players will be unwilling to unnecessarily risk any injury ahead of the World Cup, I have a funny feeling about this being a home win.

    Before the Man City game in the tunnel waiting to come out, the Saints players should make it very clear to the Man city prima donnas, that if they start leading us by more than 2 goals, that it's going to get very, very physical out on the pitch and that there is a World Cup coming up soon.

    Back from work and still as high as a kite. Been singing OWTS and Ohhhh Gabbiadini to my colleagues all day, accompanied by jumping up and down and stupid little jigs. Embarrassing yes. But do I care? Not even a tiny bit. It's been a **** season, but the way the crowd and team have galvanised in the last few weeks has been a joy to be a part of, and last night was the crescendo. This is what it's all about, wading through the **** just makes getting out of it all the sweeter. I ****ing love football.

    They’ll be looking to get the 100 point mark won’t they? Hopefully they’ll be content with 1-0 and no more just to appease either side!

    Can you imagine if we piss them off by scoring in the first five minutes?

    I'd take the same as Brighton, a 3-1 loss. Can't see Swans winning by 8. Can see them winning by 4 though, so need to keep City down to 5

    They've scored 2 goals in their last 8 games. Don't see them getting 4 in one game however **** the stoke defence is!
