As soon as the final whistle went I exited the Town End....
Who were arrogant ? The players or the fans ?

I would say both but maybe I was just being a grumpy git as usual!
No, you wasn't grumpy. Some of the Southampton players started warming down in-between the presentation and the Town end, which I thought was ignorant.
I hate seeing teams celebrating at Deepdale....
It's time we had something to celebrate
OP
Definitely quite a bit of Premier League entitlement about them.
The "You're so northern, you eat off the floor" was particularly cringey.
Really good side and should win the play offs, doesn't mean they will.
Seeing their camara save keeper make a complete tit of himself for our goal was a highlight.
Really enjoyed the win at Southampton, shame we totally collapsed in January.
C'mon Millwall in the PO's.
Totally agree ....
Although I agree, the team I want to go up is the team who would be most threat to our title march next season (I know). That would be Southampton I think.
I'll second that. I really want to see us reach the premier.
So did I dashed home to watch Wigan Warriors on the box so cannot comment about anything after the game
As usual, the answer to all the problems is to can the manager. Like players, they don't go from being the dogs bits to total crap overnight. Hecky was being lauded by many as a saviour in November only to become vilified by Easter. Maybe there are other factors at play here, maybe the time and investment needed to build a promotion side are simply insufficient, maybe the demand for instant success is not managing expectations, maybe the budget doesn't match expectations, maybe its the expectations that need binning. It is also possible that losing 2 of the top players around the turn of the year (Iverson and Armstrong) can have an adverse effect on a financially constrained club. Whatever the reasons constantly potting the manager in the hope that a new man will be able to work a miracle with the same resources is verging on lunacy.
If the new owner gets in place and is able to make substantial investment in both the club infrastructure and the staff then the current manager deserves the opportunity to build a competitive squad.

West Brom’s loss yesterday was the first time they’ve lost in the league since mid-February.
So suggest it’s ‘pathetic’ to lose to them (yes the performance was very poor for parts of the game) doesn’t seem fair.
Well personal perspective. Even though we lost I enjoyed the game. 1-3 flatters them for me. I do prefer when we do press rather than just sit back. It's obvious that they have better players than us for sure but, with a bit more clinical finishing in front of goal we could have scored more than the one. We were still in it until that last goal when we where trying to chase the game
I was undecided about next year but have decided to renew, hoping that more investment will be incoming before the new season starts.
The season has ended in familiar and all too often typical style, mid table with yet again a negative goal difference.
Without the aforementioned new input I can't see how we improve.
Hecky, I was a big fan when he was appointed but the end of last season and this, since January, says for me that it is time to go.
We all know that the main problem is the lack of financial support offered every
time we get into a decent position.
Hopefully 26/27 will see a positive change and at least we start to play to the strengths of our attacking players. I can't recall one pass to Milutin in the time he was prowling round the front line.
