However, fans of other football teams, notably bitter rivals Southampton, have been eager to offer their congrats.

Naturally, fans of the Saints are excited about the league’s first south-coast derby since David Norris’ historic goal for

St Mary’s in April 2012.

Other Football League supporters, on the other hand, have also sportingly sent their best wishes to a team that

Watford was terrible; Cleverley made bad choices. Why leave Ince on and remove your greatest player, Vata? I never

Congratulations to Portsmouth, mission accomplished, I always thought your home form would keep you up. Hope

Congratulations Pompey, I’m genuinely pleased you stayed up – Newcastle fan.

Portsmouth? Congrats on survival. And we will now have the Hampshire derby next season. Well done, and now get

ready for next season.
