Saints take on Liverpool in a game that has no significance for the home side but with Liverpool needing to win and win well to stand any chance of overhauling Manchester City for the title come the season finale on Sunday.
A week or so ago Saints supporters were dreading this game and the doom monger era were out in force on social media, now a full house at St Mary’s can sit back and enjoy the game knowing that come the final whistle, it will just be another result in the record books and will not matter one iota with regard to this season or indeed next.
Of course we would like a victory or even a draw and it goes without saying that we do not want a heavy defeat, but even if we do get a walloping, it doesn’t matter, things are changing in the summer why moan about something that is just a statistic.
Ralph Hasenhuttl needs to put out a good strong side and one that is disciplined, it is not time for fancy formations, but I would still like to see the Austrian looking to the future in terms of an attacking formation, play Adam Armstrong not Borja and Tella not Elyounoussi.
But as I said we now need to look to the future and when this season ends put it firmly in the past, we need to show the clubs owners that they have a strong supporter base and it is behind them in what they are trying to achieve, that means showing that we are behind the team not against it.
This time next week hopefully a new era will be starting to take shape at St Mary,s that is all that matters now.
