The big screens intermittently advertising tickets for Southampton’s season finale appeared wishful thinking. Southampton remain rooted to the bottom of the Premier League after a feeble defeat at home to Bournemouth extended their winless run to eight matches.
Was this the night Southampton finally ran out of lives? Mathematically they are still in with a shout but with five games to play they are six points from safety. The boos at the final whistle suggested supporters are resigned to their fate. At this rate, Southampton will be relegated to the Championship long before they host Liverpool on the final day of a miserable campaign.
