Conveniently clips out the 15 game start to the season where our record was 10-4-1.

Southampton’s current form is the best stretch to date, to be fair. However, we’ve been coasting to winning the league so we could draw where Southampton needed to win.

I genuinely believe we’d have beaten Sheff Wednesday and Blackburn if the promotion run-in was closer.

I agree, but it’s a response to the argument from Southampton fans and others who are keen to ‘prove’ that we only succeeded because the league was poor.

Notwithstanding that Southampton have far, far more money at their disposal.

In Benidorm on Sunday for Wrexham game. Any recommended bars where Cov fans be at?

It’s also objectively a bullshit claim. Teams have won the league with 81 points in the past and teams winning promotion straight from L1. Under Lampard we also hit traditional automatic promotion form last season too, just not on track for 100+ points. Most seasons, Sheff U’s 92 points see them promoted and we will almost definitely surpass that.

None of the promoted teams from L1 got relegated, the parachute payment teams are comfortably in the playoffs/automatics… what’s uniquely bad about the league this year then?

We’re on track to finish on about the same points as Maresca’s Leicester team and won the league earlier than them.

We also had a freak outbreak of illness at the most fixture intensive and punishing part of the season. Without that I think we’d be pushing 100 points in all seriousness.

Exactly, for all the Southampton fans saying ‘what if Eckert started the season’, we could equally say the same about signings we made in Jan, particularly Onyeka.

We’ve lost one game since he joined and the draws I’m pretty confident would’ve been wins if weren’t cruising to the title.

I dislike Southamton immensley particularly after their treatment of Frank at St Marys.
What a spoiled entitled bunch .

Norwich fans will also be asking ‘what if Clement had started the season’. Well, he didn’t. Just as we asked last season ‘what if we had Lampard all along’. Yeah, but we didn’t.

But he will start next season, as will ‘Tonda’, so they can prove how good they are then.

Southampton and Norwich fans should take heed of this young man:



The absolute is clear: we won the league without breaking much of a sweat. Mission ‘HMS Piss The League’ accomplished.

No if buts or maybes?
