Southampton targeted a excavation in the Derby County on social networks after having passed the worst Total of the Premier League points of the Rams.
The saints had been overthrown by many to get worse than derby during the 2007-08 season, when they were relegated to the elite with only 11 points accumulated in 38 games.
The men of Simon Rusk had been on 11 points since the drawing with West Ham in mid -April, the fans keeping on the difference in goals – Southampton is on less than 57, while Derby finished at least 69.
These fans feared the worst with the club still having City and Arsenal to play in their last three games, and they were also eager to move away from Derby to ensure that they did not have the total spouse of their names.
At their relief, they now did this, drawing 0-0 with the men of Pep Guardiola on Saturday afternoon in what was a resilient defensive performance which saw them facing 26 shots on their objective.
And their social media team then did not waste time targeting Derby, because they began to label them in a post reminding them one of their darkest seasons.
