Absolutely no regrets.

After being in the football 'wilderness' for seven years (that's what the top six supporters call it) we came back up with an explosion of excitement, young English talent & a rather large bucket of dreams.
We saw Sir Alex Ferguson retire, and one of his last quotes I remember from him was
'That's the best team performance I have seen at Old Trafford for quite a while.'
We beat every top team at least once in our time, and we played football in a manner that stirred envious glances from our rivals. We sold players, and we replaced players, the pundits started to predicted our demise some four years ago with great glee. We managed to finish higher up the table each time for the first four years, and in the actual top ten for the majority of our stay. I expect they will be on hand to take credit for their foresight in droves in the coming weeks, the insightful bunch of planks!
But, as this adventure enters a new chapter, and another long standing manager stands down. I'm glad we were there to say goodbye to Arsene Wenger. We were here at the start of his reign, and many of us witnessed his truly great regime take a grip of English football, although it felt very painful in Cardiff.
Had someone asked me in 2012 how all this would pan out, well, I would not have been scared to predict we'd upset the applecart somewhat. But, I wouldn't have guessed that we'd sell the worlds most expensive Teenage defender, bag the quickest top flight hat-trick ever, break our transfer record five times, and get £70M for one of the best players (and equally worst attitudes) I've ever seen. We kept our long standing Home European record intact & played some real quality foes.
Me, I wouldn't change a damn thing. Up The Saints.

 

Don’t forget we remain the only club so far to score 5 goals in each half in games in the same Premier League season.

 

And who knows, we could be leaving on a real high by winning the oldest and most prestigious domestic cup in the World on May 19th....COYS!

 

If not, can we please just let Giroud know, that he has been in an encounter with an aggressive enemy. One of which he will mention, in years to come.

 

Important to remember that despite it being really frustrating at how quickly we've declined, we've been very lucky overall in the 6 years.


We're not done yet though.

 

Not sure I believe in luck. I believe in working hard and increasing chances.
If I did believe, this season has ended it.

 

Maybe dropping down to the championship(if we go down) will be the start of another rise . Il be supporting no matter what.coyr

 

Regrets, I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention...

 

I regret that the club didn’t get rid of Pellegrino sooner. And that we didn’t address our goal scoring issues in January.

 

When you have one regret, you have a hundred. Time to let go.

 

I believe in luck.

 

I am, very strangely (and I suppose naively) looking forward to life in the Championship if we do go down. I'll be very, very sad on the day (and really hope it doesn't happen against the Swans) but that's not going to last and I'll be looking ahead to being at St Mary's on the first home game of the season...

 

Luck played no part in our double promotion, and it sure as hell didn't play a part in our pending relegation.
Although, that saying about it 'evening out' is also total bollocks.

 

I think to a large degree you can increase your chances of being lucky. Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity,

Isn't is strange that the top teams are luckier?

 

Nicely put.

 

I believe in miracles...

 

Where you from, you sexy thing

 

... you sexy thing.

 

...beat you

 

....great minds.....
