If we're not going to make it I'd rather Southampton did than Arsenal or Liverpool.

Quite a bit.
Not me, I never expected us to be anywhere near the champions league regardless of how bad other teams might be doing. If southampton do it, good on them because they got their set up and philosophy right even though we stole their manager and head or recruitment in the hope we could copy them.

Lol! Seriously though, not at all. I'd be pissed we didn't make it but I'd love to see them challenge the top flight as we've done previously

Not in the slightest.
It's great for our football to see normal clubs succeed.
Well done Southampton!

Not at all, because they will have done it without the use of a sugar-daddy/oil baron.
They will have done it through well managed finances and against the odds, having lost their manager, lost what were assumed to be key players, and been set as odds-on to get relegated.
As was said on TV yesterday, the key was that they kept their spine, still holding onto decent CB and CMs.
Koeman took no risks, bringing in players he had experience of working with or against.
Fair play to them....

Are you not almost saying you'd rather they get it than us?

No!
Just admire them this season for bucking the trend. They play good football and have a good manager.
Not a fan of West Ham but I think they are playing well and admire the work Sam has done after what some of their fans put him through.
But it's Spurs all the way for me for my sins.

Just to confirm then. You wouldn't be in the slightest bit annoyed if they took 4th place ahead of us by 1 goal?

Pft, if they make top 4 then everyone will just go and sign all their best players, that'll teach 'em! Wait..
What's there to be annoyed when we, on current performances, don't deserve shit?
We'll be annihilated against CL teams playing our bunch of pansies.
I'd rather we get there on a strong all round team that works hard instead of a team that continues to luck results.
If Mitchell comes good, and we don't go trigger happy and fire Pochettino, we could have a team in a couple years time that could stick around and once there, ride out the sugar daddy storm instead of this constant rebuilding and toothless, aimless and drab, insomnia curing performances.
