'Thank goodness it's over' - fans on Southampton's season
We asked for your views on their Premier League season are some of your comments:Daz: They are a joke - a laughing stock! They have brought shame to the name Southampton! Absolutely the worst team in the history of the Saints! Glad the season is finally over. A complete new team is A troubled club overseen by an apparently disengaged and disinterested owner. Nothing short of a root-and-branch overhaul of the squad will turn around our fortunes and rid us of the losing mentality. I wish Will Still luck, but I have to say I will not be renewing my season ticket because I can't stand the prospect of watching this lot again at a huge expense. Alan: So glad the season is over. Most depressing. And to lose so many goals very late in both the first and second halves suggests a psychologist should be added to the backroom Giving successive managers the same players and expecting Premier League quality from a squad that cannot deliver that is a damning indictment of the current owners. We do not have the players to stop people scoring against us or to create & score goals at Premiership levels. It doesn't matter who you put in charge if the squad just isn't good enough. Michael: Well, first team to lose 30 games? Appalling season and I've seen 60 of them, hopefully things will improve? I'm excited about the appointment of Will Still. Here's hoping my 61st season will be Thank goodness it is over. Down to business: a) Identify the true Premier League quality players in the existing squad and put them in their positions; b) Decide the best back-ups ups for the starting XI and put them on the bench; c) Sell those that don't cut the mustard; d) Work out how much money they have and what they need. Buy if possible; e) Utilise the loan system to fill any gaps either within the starters or backups; f) Aim for 22 players. Add a few more from the academy when required.

Southampton 1-3 Newcastle - the fans' verdict
We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Southampton and are some of your comments:Saints fansBen: One of those matches where we get reminded that other teams are just better than us in every way. Nobody had an absolute howler, but Newcastle were still able to nullify us without leaving third gear. I'm looking forward to no VAR next season. The way it is implemented is disgusting. Darryl: I think most of us have given up with this season. I can't believe how poor we have been. In all honesty, we got promoted probably a season too early. It's not fun loosing every week!Daz: Absolute rubbish yet again! Sack the lot and bring in the under-21s. I guarantee they would do better. Why do the Saints' board bring in a manager that was sacked from his last job due to bad performance when what we needed was a proven manager with Premier League experience? We could have had Graham Potter or David Moyes. We have bought players with little or no Premier League experience and I think everyone from the board downwards needs a clearout. It's an embarrassing time to be a Saints We have only four players that are the standard to play in the Premier League when most teams have a bench full. This, I'm afraid, is our problem - we've needed a striker for three years. We are relegation favourites and at times our play is fansAnth: Getting back on the 'winning horse' was vital to ensure our Champions League ambitions are still alive and kicking. To overcome a shaky start and push on to a solid performance gets our mojo firing once more especially with important games appearing on the horizon. Well played boys - onwards and upwards!Si: Great comeback performance following last week's humbling at the hands of Bournemouth. This showed the resilience in the team and Eddie Howe's trust they could come back and perform following a crushing defeat. We seemed to take the foot off the throttle at 3-1 which maybe showed naivety, playing the bottom side. Overall a professional performance that keeps alive our hopes of a top-four After the last game, I expected that kind of response. It wasn't our best performance but clearly it was extremely pleasant to see. Sandro Tonali is awesome and Alexander Isak unstoppable. Onwards and upwards for the Toon Newcastle won the game without getting out of third gear. Didn't panic at 1-0 down early on. Dan Burn and Fabian Schar give better balance in defence. Clinical and professional performance.
