Saints Can Now Breathe After Fulham Defeat Ends Relegation Worries

This has been one of those seasons were anything can happen and Saints poor run had some fans panicking and predicting freefall right through the Premier League from top spot in November to relegation in May, now that worry has been ended.

If disaster can strike you feel as a Saints fan it will be our club it happens to and even though Saints will probably turn out to have been safe since April when the final league table is published, there was just that nagging feeling that if Fulham could beat Burnley then they could pull off the impossible at our expense.

But now that pressure is off and although we have dropped down to 17th with Burnley's win at Fulham leapfrogging them above us, the 2-0 result means that we are now mathematically safe from the drop.

We can now concentrate on building for next season and indeed with the spectre of relegation now off our backs perhaps we can play without fear and look to win a couple of games out of the final four and look to see if we can move up the table.

From a TV viewpoint it is a disaster with all three relegation places filled with three games to go for the first time since the league began in 1992.

But it can get worse for what SKY had hoped would be their usual super Sunday, there won't be much to play for at the top either, Man City will surely wrap up the Title well before the final day and it is highly likely that the Champions League places will also be filled, meaning that Sky will be forced to try and make some excitement in the race for 5th place.
