Swansea were defeated 0-1 by Southampton at the Liberty Stadium last night, a result that will most probably mean that the Welsh team are playing Championship football next season.
Despite the best efforts of the city and its hospitality venues, the hosts were neither able to score nor keep Mark Hughes’s side at bay.
A scrambled goal from substitute Manolo Gabbiadini in the 72nd minute was enough to seal a win for the visitors and all but ensure their own safety.
These were the best of the jokes from Swansea vs Southampton, Tuesday night’s relegation decider:

Six minutes of added time to play. Cameramen begin operation 'search for a crying kid in the crowd'. #SWASOU

Sky Sports need to understand: I don’t want to see shots of kids crying at their team losing. I want to see GROWN MEN CRYING. #SWASOU

If only Swansea had not sold Ashley Williams they would not be in this situation as they would have been relegated weeks ago!!! #SWASOU

As the cameras hungrily scan the crowd looking for a weeping Swansea fan, a small boy turns to his dad and says “Oh well”. Good for you, son.

Mark Hughes will enjoy the journey home to Southampton tonight. Stopping off briefly to smash up the reception of the Swansea Marriott hotel.

How much would you pay for one Swansea corner now? Fabianski marching upfield. I would pay £6.

If Southampton have anything about them they’ll nip round to the Marriott for a few beers
