While I appreciate the OP's sentiment, can I just point out we had comments after a last second equaliser rescued a point for Arsenal in 2005. This Southampton team won't go down, everyone said ....
Yeah but look at that squad compared to the squad now - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004–05_Southampton_F.C._season
I don't think it has anything to do with us being 'saintly'. More likely Long just wasn't quick enough to react to the possibility.
