    Class! Loads of games on tv for the next 5 seasons.

    Including down to league one, two & beyond for when we get relegated next season and the season after!

    This is good news, players coming out and wanting to stay here; Bednarek, Tino, Charly. I'd love Che to say it too.

    You can put Bednarek into the team too. I don't see Diallo here next season.

    I don’t think Bednarek will be here regardless of his comments. There won’t be much movement til the summer, seems pretty stupid of him to say that now but we know he can be stupid in interviews

    Along the lines of wanting to stay and lead us next season ………..basically it meant JWP is definitely going.(I believe)

    Apparently he didn't actually say it, but all the aggregator Saints accounts got taken in by it.

    Did seem very odd timing considering we aren’t down yet (in theory) and players never say **** like that until it’s 100% certain. Let alone committing yourself like that to a club before the window is even open. We’ve seen that before with Lallana and how stupid that is from a players perspective

    Huddersfield is local to me. Depending on playoffs, I’ll have about 8 games to go to up north instead of 3. Whether that is good for me depends on how Saints get on in the Championship. Seen Saints live four times this season. 1 draw, 3 second places.

    Gotta say, with recent Premier League champs Leicester, biggest club outside the top 6 Leeds, and erm, us, the Championship is looking kind of sexy next year.

    Sunderland vs Leeds in the Champ, or Bournemouth vs Burnley in the Prem. There's some much 'bigger' games in the Champ these days.

    I’m hoping that Leicester will not be too much of a financial power if they’re relegated. Not sure about Leeds but it sounds as though Leicester and Everton would have financial issues/limitations. Hopefully we’ll have good backing regardless of sales.

    Was hoping they would stay up as I think they will be the biggest obstacle next season.

    But I think Leicester and Leeds are likely coming down with us.
