    Swansea carry the greater goal threat, and I wouldn’t fancy Soton having to chase the game. The first goal is therefore crucial imo. If the taffs get it, it could be curtains for the Saints.......

    Southampton had their hotel booking cancelled had to go and stay in an hotel 40 miles from Swansea.

    Saints were told it was because of a virus . The hotel were still taking other reservations though and no mention of a virus .

    They played bloody well to get a point at City. I can see them getting another point which should be enough.

    We both are ****, but we have scored 9 more goals than Swansea this year.

    If I were managing Swansea not losing is far more important than winning. If they draw then they just have to better Saints' result on the last day. They are at home to Stoke whilst Saints play City, so if I were them I'd take a point now.

    I reckon it will be a draw

    Be sad to see Archers, Leib and co ****ed off to the Championship board, but it's looking that way.

    Farewell lads, don't let the big Prem board door trap your fingers on the way out.:bandit:

    In recent Years Swansea have the experience of dog fight while Southampton were rising high in the premiership. Too close to call.

    That's only 1 extra goal every 4 games.

    Not exactly prolific.

    It really is all on tonight imho . If it is a draw , then Stoke won’t be up for the fight , given the recent comment by a couple of their players , that is not a happy camp !

    Great game for the neutral tonight!

    It really is a must win for both.

    You guys having City last game too.

    At Swansea is hard going but you guys are at least scoring goals.

    If I had to pick a winner tonight, with all things considered, it would be Swansea.

    Oh right because of the City game.

    As Stoke are already down they may play with pressure off an be difficult for Swansea.

    In reality both have to win tonight.

    I'll have the radio on!

    Yeah, as I said before it is more "must not lose" than "must win" for Swansea. I just can't see them going all out and leaving themselves open if it is 0-0 at say 70 mins, where as we will.

    Ohh I do..I'm leading the Spurs prediction league...every point is vital.

    I think that last minute equaliser has done more damage than we realise. Southampton will be pooping it till the final whistle, unless they are out of sight, which I very much doubt.

    I reckon they'll go for it.

    Going into the last game needing something to stay up would be ****.

    Could be a classic or an absolute stinker tonight!
