Championship Match 44 – Southampton 2 Bristol City 2 It's a Young Man's Game - Not Today! In the aftermath of the breathless last-minute win against Swansea, we now have the visit of Bristol City to St Mary’s, as the automatic promotion bandwagon gathers ever more pace. City seem to have it all together at the start of the season and under Gerhard Struber, were up near the top of the League for the first couple of months before it started falling away a little bit until they got to January and sold two of their best players, causing Struber to kick off against the board and as we have seen thousands of times before, not just at Bristol City but other clubs as well, that only ends one way and the manager departed.

Championship Match 43 – Swansea 1 Southampton 2 This Boy Has Had a Good Week This season’s Swansea are the same as the last few seasons Swansea, in that they are the very definition of mid-table. They’ve not threatened the playoffs or the relegation places all season and sit comfortably in 14th place with a record of two won, two drawn and two lost over the last six games.

Abertawe away The Return of Manning and Downes This season’s Swansea are the same as the last few seasons Swansea, in that they are the very definition of mid-table. They’ve not threatened the playoffs or the relegation places all season and sit comfortably in 14th place with a record of two won, two drawn and two lost over the last six games. They tend to beat the teams at the bottom and tend to lose to the teams at the top and those last six games have borne that out with wins over Leicester and Portsmouth and defeats to Wrexham and Coventry.

Championship Match 42 – Southampton 3 Blackburn 0 The Archer is Back It was back in October 2025 that Saints visited Blackburn and the managers in the dugouts on that day were Will Still and Valerien Ismael. There will of course be two different managers in the dugouts today in Toda Eckert and Michael O’Neill because the two previous managers were largely shite. Blackburn away was a bit of a turning point because I think most people realised, if they hadn't already, that it was never going to work with Will Still.

Championship Match 38 – Southampton 1 Norwich City 0 Sit Down Shut Up After the huge win against Coventry, we are now back at St Mary’s after four away games in a row, to play Norwich City. Like ourselves, Norwich are a completely different side to what they were earlier on in the season down to their new manager, replacing the hapless and hopeless Liam Manning, with Philippe Clement. The transformation in Norwich particularly since the New Year has seen them go from looking like relegation certainties to maybe thinking they could have a run at the playoffs themselves.

They currently set nine points ahead of third place Millwall and it’s just a case of what week it is that they finally get over the line. Back in January it looked like they were going to have the mother of all wobbles and throw it all away, when they lost four games out of five, but since February started, they have won six league games in a row to pull away from any chasers and sit very comfortably indeed at the top of the league, where they have been more or less all season.

Championship Match 35 – Sheffield Wednesday 1 Southampton 3 THB Brings the Noise Sheffield Wednesday have been doomed to relegation since before the season started. The ridiculous ownership of Chansiri was always going to go just the one way. It had been building for years but with regards to this season, as soon as the they stopped paying their players on time in September, it just accelerated into a decline that left the club being plunged into administration, points deductions, selling any half-decent players that they still had, more points deductions and an inevitable run of defeats which leaves them bottom of the table, already relegated in February (which is the earliest relegation on record) and still on -7 points.

Championship Match 32 – Leicester 0 Southampton 1 A kind of dull, uneventful game Time for a visit to the King Power to take on our old friends Leicester City, whom we defeated 3-0 at St Mary’s earlier in the season, during that glorious Tonda interim period. In all truth, it was probably the game that sealed the deal regarding getting the permanent job. At that time, Leicester were considered to be one of the favourites for an automatic spot and a return to the Premier League, but it hasn’t quite worked out that way, as they now find themselves one place above the relegation zone, largely due to the six-point deduction they finally received after about five years of financial fuckery.
