Saints fans here in the Tavern head back to their day jobs filled with relief, after coming back from a losing position to draw against relegation battlers Bournemouth.
However, with Mauricio Pellegrino managing to accumulate 5 points from the last 6 games, a sense of distress and worry can be seen all across faces here in the Tavern.
Indeed, the stats would look even worse if it wasn’t for the Saints saviour Charlie Austin, having scored a 61st-minute equaliser at the Vitality Stadium on Super Sunday.
After the weekend’s goal, he’s now tallied his 4th Premier League goal of the season, as he continues to firmly established himself as both their first-choice striker, and the club’s top scorer.
With the former Queens Park Rangers striker back in the goals, fanatics in the Tavern have taken a huge liking to what Austin brings to their side, and this love was only expanded after fans caught wind of the forward’s celebration on Sunday.
The England international took to his personal Twitter handle to display a slightly derogatory response to Bournemouth fans, having aimed his celebration at telling the Southern crowd to sit down and shut up after the abuse he received during the match.
