Southampton's dismal season hit a low point with their relegation two weeks before Easter, but they managed to avoid Derby County's record low points total of 11 by drawing 0-0 with Manchester City, bringing their tally to 12 points. Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale noted the challenges of the season and credited the draw to their fans. However, the team's celebrations drew criticism from pundits like Chris Sutton, who felt it was inappropriate. Ramsdale recognized the season's hardships while emphasizing the significance of not being the team with the worst points in history.
Everyone knows it's been a difficult season for us. The sun was shining, Man City threw everything at us. That one was for the fans.
We are under no illusion it's still not a great points tally, but it's that one off our back.
I don't mind the fans celebrating because they haven't had much to celebrate, but the players on the full-time whistle? That is embarrassing.
Sorry if we got your hopes up. We are definitely happy with the fact we have managed to avoid that record.
