    As opposed to Sundays, Mondays, and whatever else the whim of the TV schedulers dictates? Amen to that.

    On the other hand, Liverpool followed an excellent midweek performance with a lame one in the PL today. Maybe Arsenal will do the same, and keep our hopes alive.

    The Europa League was fun though, wasn't it?

    The time we lost to Midgetland or the time we went out after drawing with Beer somebody?

    I don't think we'd have to do that well tbh. The only way it would be worse is if we looked like going and/or we had big problems with Gao.

    We're going to win 2-1. I'm doing a collection for Cats Protection tomorrow so won't be following, which is probably a good thing for my blood pressure.

    I haven't enjoyed this PL season at all apart from maybe Everton and Spurs and Boufal's goal against West Brom (I don't go to away games) and the football and atmosphere has been mostly abject, so I can't say that watching Championship football at SMS bothers me that much and we will probably see younger players like Sims, Hesketh, Targett and McQueen getting their chance to develop and shine.

    Edit: The bottom line is that I just want to be reasonably excited and entertained and to feel a bit of pride and identify with the team, for whatever reason, that hasn't happened much this season.

    it's good to see everyone has psychologically prepared themselves for life in League 1. I'm still hoping we might sneak a sneaky 0-1 tomorrow! CHARLIEEEE!!!!!!!

    Yep.
    But, statistically, just need Saints to score (just!) ONE more goal than their opponents.

    Or check your memory banks for the ECSTASY of beating Inter Milan....... or, for that matter, playing them off the park IN Milan; even though the result was an injustice on the night.

    Going down is not as fun as it sounds. Anyone ever tried to stream a Championship match?

    Stream? Like, with video? I can well remember searching desperately for a radio link, then searching to find a VPN connection that would allow me to listen to said radio link.

    All midweek games are on tv as of next season so those should be easy enough.

    Maybe there will be a stream from China Central Television. And we can follow the hashtag on Sina Weibo.

    That's committed. Following Saints through the eyes of Adam Blackmore might be fun for some, it's not my preferred method.

    Seriously though, this might be surprising to "core supporters", but some Saints fans have actually managed to escape from Southampton. Some even never lived there before and just picked it up, even from exotic places like Canada! You might enjoy the Championship more, but we have to get lost.

    Yeah if/when we go down I won't be on here as much as I won't be able to see the games so seems pretty pointless discussing them
