Absolutely buzzing after last night. What a great season it’s been. Great going into the last game with it in our own hands. Southampton have some quality players, and I can see this being an open game which I think we will win 3-2 with Antonio, Bowen and Fornals for us, and Ings and Walcott for them.

Got to keep an unchanged team for this.

Randolph
Coufal Dawson Ogbonna Cresswell
Rice Soucek Fornals
Benrahma Antonio Lingard

Subs: Martin, Johnson, Diop, Balbuena, Noble, Bowen, Fredericks, Yamolenko, Odubeko

COYI!

this is the game the supporters can really make the difference, i hope the crowd get right behind them with 90 mins of vocal support, the players will feed off it, they have looked leggy the last few weeks due to the small squad meaning some players have had little rest and moyes makes them put a shift in, after hearing the boos at white hart lane yesterday lets show our team how proud we are of them this season

A pre game opposition view from Saints Web... thought it might help with any nerves...

Do we ever win away at West Ham?

Horrible place for us, and expect it to be even harder this year. Antonio will turn into Ronaldo for the day, and bully our defence as per normal.

Who cares tbh. This season has ended up very forgettable after a fantastic start and we are in big trouble next season

It'll be another **** show where we flatter to deceive, we'll huff and puff without any real intent. They have quality, pace and power which will be far too much for us.

Let's be honest , if West Ham need the points on Sunday they'll get them, we're the perfect opponents

Given the second half of this season and our record against West Ham at their place, it’s very likely to be 3-0 defeat saints that turn up

Yep WHU to win 2-0 or 3-0 is my prediction too. Antonio will most likely score

See nothing other than us being totally annihilated.

Whatever the score, I think we all know it will be zero points for Saints.

G'day all.

As noted above watching Saints this year has been like watching a slow motion car crash on a loop.
So really expecting nothing except a beating.

The only thing I'm grateful for is you're not playing to beat 'pool to a CL place, I might actually want us to lose :)

Good luck in Europe chaps.

Any chance at all we can drop one of Lingard or Fornals for this and start Bowen and Benrahma ?

This.
Hoping we get some sustained chants of “David Moyes claret & blue army” during the game. He deserves at least that.

i have to say i was tearing my hair out with fornals yesterday. He actually got better as the match went on but so many times he messed up passes or shots. I appreciate his running around and getting stuck in but I really want him kept away from the opposition goal. Saying that, he wasn't as bad as lingard who was just frankly anonymous.
So i personally would say yes to benrahma and Bowen myself instead of those two.

I imagine the loan deal says we have to play Lingard, though for me it should be the same XI unless Fab is fit.

Southampton try and play so I’m not too worried about this one as that suits us.

Predicting a 1-1 which would be enough for Europe so I'd take that for sure.
Anything to do with the Location? I am in Pompey so I despise them even more ;-)

I was just watching the highlights of last night. The whole team looked pretty knackered at the end.

His performance last night was Peter Eustace level ... Please don’t tell me he “tried “ lost the ball 17 times I read ... that is actually more than he usually does
Don’t worry EB it will be Bowen or Benrahma on the bench

We could, yeah, but working on the assumption that we don't want to lose, we won't.

Hope so too. Been a long time since we’ve inserted the manager’s name into that terrace chant. Last one I can remember getting it was Pardew. I know Slav had his own chant but this would be a nice touch from the fans if there was an audible “David Moyes Claret and Blue Army” on Sunday.

If noone else is going to.... Thanks for the thoughts Dorset... Hopefully we do get the points. Big R H is an enigma in my eyes. Seems to be destined for bigger things although he's maybe not earnt it... Be keen on your view. Anyhow, thanks for popping in and the joined up footie supporter posting

I can see us giving them a good thumping here, considering the supporters will be back. Let's say 4-1.
