    Place in top 9 already secured. Europe?

    4 wins and 3 draws from our last 9 league games is good form. If we keep this going, the final home game of the season v Man United could be for a place in Europe.

    Rodriguez's 13th goal of the season today. He still might get 20, which would be quite an achievement for an English striker in the Premier League.

    We haven't got the squad for the Europa imo.

    I'd be happy if we use this time to continue the development of our talented youngsters without any pressure on the games.

    If we don't get into Europe, we may lose some of our best players. Whatever some fans might like, the players definitely want to play in European competition. If it's Saints and not Man United in Europe next season, we might hang on to the likes of Shaw and Lallana.

    Sorry, I think that's a load of old boll0cks, of course we've got the squad for the Europa League. By all accounts our U21 squad could hold their own in that competition and I for one would love to see my team playing against European opposition, who wouldn't?

    Last time we had Man Utd on the last day of the season I had a cracker of a day out with the chaps and got on Meridian news as one of the vox pops.

    Oh, we also got relegated but everyone knew that was going to be the case anyway..

    It would be great to earn a spot in Europe regardless of which competition, but with 10 games to go and 11 points away, I think too many teams need to drop too many points for us to qualify.

    Um. 'our under 21 squad could hold their own in that competition'. That is crap. That is a tough comp my friend. A 'Dynamo' or an Anderlecht type club would take you to the cleaners. Especially with that sort of football attitude
