FANS of Southampton FC on the Isle of Wight may be feeling exactly the same as the man supporters have nicknamed 'Le God' — Matt Le Tissier — after he turned to Twitter to slam the Saints following confirmation of their relegation from the Premier League yesterday (Saturday).

Le Tissier — a legend and true one-off at Saints — said the squad should "hang their heads in shame" and that he had "never witnessed such a gutless, lazy and passionless performance" in all his life against Fulham.

Fulham sent Saints down with a 2-0 win at St Mary's.

The Saints' poor season comprised just six wins from 36 games, with games against Brighton and Liverpool to come.

Le Tissier knows exactly what it's like to be embroiled in a relegation dogfight, having helped his side escape the drop several times in his career.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU

Southampton have a legion of disgruntled supporters from the Isle of Wight — many of them season ticket holders — with legimate questions the club need answering. 

  • But what do you think went wrong?
  • What does the club need to do to bounce back to the Premier League?
  • What do you think the inevitable sale of prize asset, James Ward-Prowse, will have on the club?

Tell us what you think via the Isle of Wight County Press Facebook page, or alternatively, via editor@iwcp.co.uk

At the final whistle yesterday, Saints fans who stayed at St Mary's directed boos and some abuse at players and the board. 

Le Tissier will be coming to the Isle of Wight to take centre stage again, at Newport’s Medina Theatre, on November 18, where he will no doubt expand on his views of where the club is going.
