And you’d think a 10 goal advantage on goal difference would be enough... unless Man City really have a go at them on the final day of the season...

And on a related subject, we know about Hurricane’s love for the Saints, but have other people here got an English league team they follow?

Very interesting.  I was actually reading the Southampton FC message board yesterday and there was a post with a twitter link of a Southampton fan calling the Marriott after the game and playing their song when the host answered the phone.  I didn't realize that prior cancellation that the Marriott did to the Southampton team.  [BLEEP] !!!!

Anyway, the team stayed in Cardiff which will be nice since they'll be playing there next season (vs Cardiff City) while Swansea gets relegated down !!!   now i'm really rooting against Swansea next match so Huddersfield stays up.

I'm actually a Bournemouth fan since the beginning of last season August 2016 when I started following the PL (my son has a 4 year rooting interest in Crystal Palace since he started following the PL).

While I should be rooting against a rival like Southampton, the PL is so much more exciting when you have teams that are represented by fans like Southampton fans who bring so much energy to every match.  I hope to get out there and see Bournemouth vs Southampton, Brighton, Crystal Palace (and even Fulham) in the future.  I was also pulling heavily for Southampton because I didn't want to see Darlo have his own thread next season "The Official Championship League" while everyone is on the PL thread after Fulham wins their playoffs and get promoted up -- LOL !!!  Go Fulham !!!

How did I select Bournemouth ??  I wanted to root for a little known team and being the fact that I live in Florida which is our southern most state in the US, I selected a coastal town that I'd like to visit in the future (thanks to google earth).  Bournemouth appears to be my style as it looks clean, it's on the coast, and it's population is small enough to relax and chill as I'm not a spring puppy anymore (age 52 right now)
