i don't know. i can't fault any of their efforts, it's just one of those things that the one guy on the pitch who scores a goal like that, he's the one probably worth the most money. we've had a 5—6 great chances, really, and we can't finish one of them, so we probably wouldn't have scored really. well that defeat for cardiff means southampton‘s 3—3 draw with bournemouth was enough to secure their premier league survival. some great scenes as players waited out on the pitch. to wait for the score to come through from st marys — manager raplh hassenhutl celebrating with the fans. worth watching the highights from that game on match of the day tonight at 10:25pm on bbc one. that game had everything, but what an impact hassenhutl has
