Tragic......

What a tragedy! Poor old Southampton suffered a monumental set-back in their fight for survival.
Harry Redknapps Saints played Aston Villa at St Marys on saturday and after going two goals ahead looked set to leapfrog West Brom and get out of the relegation zone.
Kevin Phillips pounced in the fourth minute to score the first and the ever improving Peter Crouch slotted home his eleventh goal of the campaign against his former club on thirteen minutes.
It would have been a wonderful story- Crouch, a player signed by Villa for £4million but totally disregarded by manager O'leary pops up to rub salt into the wounds of the midlands club.
Alas it wasn't to be. In a dark eighteen minute spell starting in the fifty fifth minute Southampton threw it all away.
Carlton Cole, Nobby Solano and Steven Davis all scored to put Southampton firmly back into the relegation zone.
But this team has never been relegated from the premiership and with wheeler-dealer Harry Redknapp in charge they have every chance of staying up.
