What does ASMR stand for? By definition, ASMR is the acronym of the Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and it is a physical tingling sensation that begins in your scalp and moves down through the spine to the limbs. ASMR tingles are usually triggered by audible stimuli, such as whispering or tapping sounds. The best way to experience these audible tingles is by using headphones, although listening without can still produce tingles. The most common use of ASMR is to help people sleep but it can also be soothing, relaxing, pleasurable, even euphoric.

23:25 How Southampton Won Promotion

so the championship season is over and we now know which three clubs will be playing Premier League football next season it’s been an absolutely crazy promotion race with so many twist story lines and great moments and in this video we are going to take a look back and how each team secured their promotion back to the Premier League this is the story of the championship 2324 promotion race we begin with the Champions Leicester city it has been a challenging time for Leicester going back to the start of 2023 when Leicester suffered a remarkable slide leading to the departure that April of manager Brendan Rogers it was a decline that replacement Dean Smith could not reverse during his eight matches in charge for Recovery began with the appointment of Manchester City assistant coach maresa the implementation of a new style of play and a remarkable winning streak fat at one stage took them 17 points clear of the playoff positions but leester have had to overcome challenges allegedly failing profitability and sustainability rules and a wobble inform that threatened to leave them stranded in the efl it been a long difficult Journey but the destination was all that mattered leicester’s usual business model was based upon being a Premier League club challenging for European qualification every season relegation hadn’t been factored in there was no safety net and they had just come Crashing Down to Earth the reality of dropping down to the efl after nine seasons in the dock flight was they have to sell players and dramatically cut the wage Bill 10 first team players left seven of them as free agents these were players who had been recruited for fees worth 100 million combined and what big earners do Yuri Deans IUD peris kosan Ryan berin Johnny Heavens Daniel Marty and Nas meny inevitably IND deand Trio James Madison Harvey Barnes and deoy Casta were sold for a combined 85 million Lester tried for more sales too including Danny Ward but either couldn’t find buyers or players refused to move as was the case for Harry suit deals also fell through for others including Pats and ders per Mo’s moved to Bournemouth on Deadline day instead lone exits for Luke Thomas Victor Christiansen and pipari Samari were arranged and the players who remained took Hefty pay cuts via relegation Clauses in their contracts which they must have thought would never have been activated the efl felt the cost cutting wasn’t far reaching enough and more sales could have taken place but what probably irritated the league was more how active Lear were in replacing departed players spending spending 10 million on Harry wings and 7 million on onod to four England Internationals and doing two six million deals to win Stephie maiti and goalkeeper mattz Hermanson as well as another 7.5 million on Striker Tom cannon from Everton at the end of a frantic sumr wov also saw Unice atun and Abdul Fatu join on a loan it was clear that Lester were going all in on securing an instant return to the Premier League it was imperative then that they had the right man in place to lead them there but rather than go down the expected route of bringing in a older experienced head coach with a track record of promotions leester sought a new Direction and fresh identity with so much at stake it was a surprise when they turned to talented coach but near rookie manager Enzo maresa his stock was certainly high after assisting P Guardiola leading City to last season’s Tribble and other clubs had made approaches relegation had made less to a less attractive proposition due on their longer term targets such as Grand butter so they decided to go with a young energetic coach who could change the mood around the club by injecting his enthusiasm into the team within two weeks Moresco was appointed and set apart implementing his plan from the very first day it wasn’t just for players adapting to a more patient possession based style of play with C Pereira adopting a inverted fullback role and goalkeeper Hermanson playing like a extra Central Defender when the team was in possession some Lista fans also needed time to embrace a different approach but he opening 20 minutes of their friendly against Liverpool in Bangkok demonstrated the potential of his maresa leester side he revealed six players who had expected to move on after relegation had changed their minds and wanted to stay after the pre-season he wouldn’t give names but it wasn’t too difficult to Guess that wford and DD enjoyed a new attacking role and yanet vestard was now playing an integral role were two of them found face was another who had been expected to move on the mood was low because obviously we got relegated which we didn’t expect I didn’t want fast said we need to fix it I think be objective it’s clear for everyone and that’s why everybody is focused and hungry to win every game and get promoted in terms of that mission peresa and his side got off to a perfect start despite still adapting to the new system they won 13 of the first 14 League games and after successive oneill defeats against Le and Middlesboro in early November they kicked on again winning seven matches out of nine and remaining unbeaten for the rest of 2023 by the end of the year they had 62 points on the board out of a possible 75 it could have been more but the stoppage time equalizes against ipswitch and Sheffield a record points all was predicted but moresa knew that level would be hard to maintain for the full season between January the 13th and February the 14th Leicester dropped just Five Points in seven games to go out a 12-point lead over leads in second and move 14 ahead of third place Southampton in the race for one of the two automatic promotion spots but while results continued on the pitch problems had already started off it in March it emerged that the eo’s club financial reporting unit had concerns that they were on course to breach the Le’s profit and sustainability rules which would have force them to reduce their budget and sell players in the winter transfer window leester successfully argued against it but BSR concerns had already made huge impact on mesa’s jry transfer window he had hoped to strengthen while his Sid were in such a good position in the table and seemed surprised when he was then told he would have to sell before he could buy his problems escalated when Jos surprisingly recalled Cesar Cassidy from what was meant to be a season long loan and fellow midfielder indeed suffered a haming injury that would keep him out for several months with his attacking Midfield options reduced as well the last thing he needed was to see his key number eight GE his preall sold midseason the club rejected a 20 million bid from do flight bright who may have thought lesters need to sell would force them to accept a low offer but the financial problems weren’t because Lester didn’t have money it was because they couldn’t spend the money they had they did try to v a deal to bring in stano centi on loan from into Milan collapsed on the last day of the window over delays caused by paperwork that attempted signing wouldn’t have helped their standing with efl who seemed determined to punish leester the club’s accounts for that period hadn’t been published at the time thege but after Easter they revealed an 89 million loss adding to a 92 million loss for previous year add in a 31 million loss before and the club’s losses were now over 200 million for the threeyear cycle when only 105 million was allowed under premier league rules leester came out fighting beginning legal actions against both the Premier League and efl while admitting in their accounts that they may have been in breach but insisting they would only accept a punishment in accordance with the existing rules the efl eventually accepted f it could not punish the club this season for the alleged breach things appeared to be unraveling off the pitch with growing discontent among the fans towards some the upper management at the club as well as some anti-fl sentiment too the stakes were getting higher and the pressure to achieve promotion grew as failure would leave Leicester open to the efl’s determined Nation to make an example of the club who they perceived to be bending for rules to try get straight back up a possible Point action once back in the Premier League was seen as the better of two potential outcomes how much all the offi factors for lack of additions in the winter window and growing pressure internally and externally affected leester players is difficult to quantify but theond stop stoppable Juggernaut began to slow dramatically Lester’s lead was whittel away by Rivals who all mounted winning runs to close for once huge gap free wins from 10 matches even saw Lester slip out of the automatic promotion places at the start of April concerned fans began to vent their frustration at the players of bat toat one away defeats to milw and Plymouth to add to a seemingly increasing discontent with some supporters fan groups protested and held a meeting with the club when Leicester announced a 5% increase on the season tickets suddenly it was starting to look like mounting issues would become insurmountable and scuba Leer’s promotion dream but just when they needed it mesa’s side showed some grid to beat playoff chasing West brage alium and then demolish promotion contenders Southampton 5 nil the celebrations following their emphatic win over South pton which was their biggest win of the Season didn’t feel premature three days later Leeds losing 40 at lter Road confirm promotion before they would eventually win the league entirely a few games later leester never expected to have to mount another promotion push their sits have been set much higher before their fall from Greece if he had failed the consequences could have been severe almost disastrous for the club yet moresa and his players pumped the braks and pull Leicester back from the Dip what awaits Lester in the Premier League next season time will tell a point deduction is likely but he can do nothing about that now Lester must enjoy the moment and face that in August at least they will know what they have to do then it has been a long hard campaign but regardless of all the problems on Route it has been a successful one it has been tough but it has been a season they won’t forget now we can move on to IP switch when Game Changer 20 bought IP switch in 20121 the ambition was always there for Progress to be quick the American Consortium had big Ambitions new owners usually do a club posting a history as former champions of England and European Trophy winners with a 29,000 Ceda Stadium will never feel at home in the third TI but getting out of League one and then breezing straight through the championship a year later is something that even the most optimistic is which supporters would have laughed at pulling off ptack promotions to reach Top Flight is a freak of nature which strikes so infrequently with Southampton the last team to do it twice 12 years ago only three more had previously done it since the formation of the Premier League this if switch team are a rare thing after relegation from the Premier League in 2002 it switch drifted through 17 years in the second year with a steady decline in the latter years under the owna Marcus Evans leaving them as seeming Haspin in League one by 2019 F had brushes with returns to the big time But as time went by and financial power in but division became increasingly stretched it switch fell away now it switch can look back on back time and smile reflecting on what it offered them in the terms of a reset and it’s incredible how much has changed in such a short period there were a few false starts B cook was not able to take him switch out of League one now to 11 play finishes either side of one in nth over three seasons McKenna arrived as Cook’s successor halfway through the 2122 season a young and ambitious coach had been forced to retire age 22 he had worked on the STA at Spurs and man united before it which gave him his first cracket management at the age of 35 things started to click as the off field structure of chief executive Mark Ashton and director of football Gary brobert plus the investment of the new ownership group matched McKenna’s tactical nouse with the foundations laid in that first half season 2223 was when it all came together but even then it wasn’t easy Plymouth and shev Wednesday big clubs with significant history we’re not going to let it switch have it all their way being locked in a multi-team race for one of the two automatic promotion spots has been it its default setting for the past two years and each time they’ve been successful last season they secured second place with 98 points scoring 101 lead goals along the way this season second place with 96 scoring 92 goals along the way among the most impressive features of is’s but to P promotion is that they are Squad stronger than some of its parts under mcna choosing a standout star is a struggle you can make a case for it being assist King Leaf Davis just as easily as you can for goal scoring midfielder Conor chaplain they everywhere man Mima Luongo or combative Captain Sam Mory before even considering the effective use of the squad that has kept if switching the fight in their first season back in the championship it’s truly remarkable that 15 players who featured in at least 10 matches for itswitch in League One have replicated his feat in the championship notably Captain Mory Davis chaplain bergus hores Burns and Luke bendon have each exceeded 30 appearances in both divisions had it not been for injuries this number could have been even higher highlighting how not only impressive continuity but also exceptional coaching can help a team it’s which other side neutrals took to Hearts this season as they battled with parachute payment flush Trio Southampton leads and Leicester at the top of the table last season’s accounts show it which were the biggest Spenders in League one but in modern football that counts for little in relation to the finances at Championship level it makes what they have achieved all the more remarkable although they made modest Investments of 4 million last summer if wish leverage smart loan deals including Jos Amari Hutchinson and bournemouth’s Kea Moore ITP switch got off to a winning start in their first championship campaign for four years Mna LED it switch to wins both in their first away game as well as their first home game and it rich first League loss since janry came first leads but even though they lost 43 it was a sign that they could push the big boys of the championship and this was not some early season form they were capable of competing they bounced back from is to Fe to maintain unbeaten in September going 13 points out of a bur ball 15 points by December is Wich had lost just three games but then a downturn in form followed as a result of an ensuing injury crisis with a 4-nil lost to leads at Ellen road which is a damaging blow before they would draw their next three games in a row it looked as if it witch at the turn of a year were running out of steam but it would be the FA Cup that seemingly turned Fair season back on track after a run of five without a win ipswitch found a win in the third round FA Cup against Wimbledon winning 3-1 this was a massive confidence booster for the club and their form improved again just at the right time as they secured a massive one draw at the king B Stadium to maintain second place they then suffered a shock defeat in the fourth round of a cup Bo losing two1 at home to Maidstone in the sixth year of English football this was worrying for McKenna and it switch as it was very embarrassing and could have had the oppos effect of the Wimbledon results and completely derail their season and initially it seemed it had it switch’s stuttering four member Championship continued until early February with a freeo away loss against Preston and a two two draw at West Brom dropping it switch to four W in the table however this was but to stop with four successive victories climbing back to third place just like Leicester and seemingly everybody towards the back end of a season it looked as if it Wich were collapsing after a win versus Southampton it seemed as if promotion was all but done but then gain four games without a win in the most crucial part of the Season luckily and Lester couldn’t capitalize and then game a crucial away game verse commentary where it which were being held 111 in the 68th minute and his them promotion was evading them but it was one of their league one Heroes Cameron burges who would score to give them the win and that would put promotion back in their hands and it would eventually secure it at home versus huddles field it which have lost six league matches season after being beaten four times in 2223 and have made Portman Road a fortress they’ve only tasted defeat on a single occasion in each of the past two seasons as it rich team bus wound its way to the stadium 90 minutes before kickoff against relegation candas hardfield the air was thick of blue smoke and a final home game of last season the same sort of welome worked perfectly as if s went on to beat ex to 60 and secure promotion and 12 months on the fans hope the scene would happen again and it did at every turn of his promotion race where it switch has been written off they have delivered ahead of schedule and as a club United if witch are finally on that boat I know it’s been done before a m mcin said celebrating promotion but it’ll never be done like we’ve done it again and he might just be right whatever happens in the Premier League mcna is staying and hip Swit are back in the Prem and the future looks Bright Now we move on to Southampton three days on from the final game of the championship regular season against leads samp’s hierarchy arranged a boat trip after training Spirits were high as players trained at St Mary Stadium once the session was completed the squad traveled to the South Coast where a yacht was waiting for them southampton’s ownership group and other key Executives also made the trip Southampton took the yacht across to Thea white and had lunch at a beach from restaurant the owners spoke at the lunch telling players they would be able to have the party of their life provided day one promotion at the playoffs Southampton have done just that beating Le one0 at Wembley thanks to Adam Armstrong’s first half strike to secure the diaper celebration their owner promised it is the third Triumph for Southampton manager Russell Martin over Leeds and opposite number Daniel faul whom he played under for Norwich F season one was that final day three weeks ago and the other came against the bat drop of four successive losses for Southampton with recently appointed Martin under growing pressure from supporters then came wimbley while the director of football Jas and wiox and owners shared profound faith in Martin believing he was among football’s best young coaches that 3E one win against Le eased growing scrutiny Martin’s first year with Southampton has delivered a cultural shift and an overhaul in playing identity it can however be book ended by Form deserting his side at the start and end of the season which snuffed out hopes of automatic promotion in between those dips Southampton went on a incredible run of 25 League games on petum bringing a winning streak and mindset back to some Aries this season sampton have scored 22 goals in the final 15 minutes of games more than any other Championship side internally it is being attributed to the depth of spirit Martin has fostered as well as improved training where players under his terrain how we play Mantra can maintain a better structure within 90 minutes Martin has been described as a what you see is what you get character he is relatable for young players having retired 5 years before he is only 38 years old now arguably his greatest challenge was to win the trust of the dressing room and his senior figur fo upon his arrival Martin walked into a fractur club devastated by post relegation redundancies with unhappy Personnel also leaving and several players who appeared despondent and suffering from confidence crisis incoming staff say he entered an environment that was cold and suffering a lack of communication across each branch of the club Martin inherited 31 outfi players and has since expressed publicly that most of them wanted to leave Martin likes to have in-depth conversation with players individually hoping they feel comfortable opening up he held several one-on ones with players who had been in a psychologically difficult place after relegation and wanted to leave for a fresh start as soon as he came in some said fa Chief desire was to Simply start enjoying football again that level of honesty struck a c with Martin appreciative that they felt able to express those emotions gradually others who were more guarded initially followed a similar path changing the mood around St Marys was another task that would require patience players were acutely aware of supporter’s negativity not just related to last season but across several years with playing at home becoming a subdued groaning and at times apathetic experience with gradual progress Martin and the players have worked hard to transform the atmosphere to the point where that strength of feeling crescendoed in the playoff semi-final second leg with some Aries at its loudest in recent memory the team received a Rous welcome as their coach arrived pre-match with flares flags and songs plays were taken about by the level of support with some even filming the scenes from inside the coach West brom’s preparations were dis Disturbed as they were held up for 15 minutes waiting for Rose to clear the stadium showing how much Russell Martin has managed to change and cultivate an incredible atmosphere and shift a club in Ruins when he took over to carry out Martin’s ball dominance style the squad needed a high level of confidence in Risk King goalkeeper Gavin bazunu before a Achilles injury in April was a case in point the Republic of violent International who has regularly come under intense criticism has struggled with his shot stopping since joining with his data showing he has underperformed his expected goals by 20 goals this season it has contributed to Southampton conceding the 11th most goal goals of any Championship side despite their overall XG against odor being the fourth lowest regardless bazunu distribution when playing up from a back is his greatest strength and is seen to improve ball progression Martin’s side have registered the Champ’s joint second highest expected goals compensating for The Bard defending rewiring the attacking structure has been illustrative of Martin’s coaching acumen remedying the disappointment of losing Nathan Dow last summer his was a blow as the coaching star 40 would score 15 plus goals this season from the right if he had remained at the club he would have been a key player on the right wing but Martin moved car Walker Peters into a rightwing role Wentz have H him had the ball shifting Adam Armstrong who has directly been involved in 36 goals this season for most of Championship player Armstrong who scored the goal to send them to the Premier League his four in three games against Leeds has been an unquestionable success story under Martin trained to make intelligent and incisive out in runs the delicacy of a championship player final will naturally have consequences on summer plans failure to secure promotion would have meant incurring further losses and financial cuts key players such as Walker Peters would have been sold and those on loan who have been impressive and want to stay namely fints and de Harvard Bellis would have found it difficult to have permanent deal sanctioned VAR sense Southampton will be in a better position financially now promotion is assured whether it is next season or later down the line the school of for in his staff will know southampton’s aim is to establish from himself as a top 10 Premier League side and offer the best platform for young players but Martin has repeatedly had to contend with other challenges this season losing director of football will Cox who left for Man United in April was a significant blow the B had a close relationship and same F bling beliefs with wicock the man who brought in Martin it was difficult to deal with for Martin midseason just like if switch the magic of their promotion is down to Martin navigating the playoffs is very difficult but Martin did extremely well to psychologically help his side bounc back from a disappointment of missing out on automatic promotion they collapsed at the end of the season losing three games in a row including a fuming at leester which all but ended their promotion hopes but in truth this loss could have been the best thing to happen to Martin and Southampton once it was confirmed they were not going to get automatic promotion they went into the final day of the Season facing leads with both teams aware they couldn’t get promotion Martin used this time in between preparing his side mentally for the playoffs and the perfect way to do this was by beating leads at Ellen road on the final day it was a sign that his side were logged in and and ready for the playoffs it was their second win over leas this season but more importantly instilled a belief in Martin side going into the playoff final where they faced leads again that they were better V them and knew how to beat them meanwhile Leeds would have to overcome this psychological hurdle which they were unable to do going up was fundamental in southampton’s immediate success and to support Republic’s multic Club model which has put in over 300 million during its 2 and a half years in ownership and it’s awaiting some form of return yet the level of rout and Branch freeform that has taken place with Martin and his players the leading influence has brought broader Vindication and now thanks to football’s richest one-off game a much bigger reward in truth the free sides who went up this season were more than deserving this was perhaps the most competitive promotion race in years the level set by Lester it switched lead and Southampton was terrific and three teams on over 90 points in the season is impressive the fact of Hampton went on a 25 unbeaten game Run and still finished fourth shows just how high the ball was set this season leads where on fortunate not to win promotion but in the end it which Lester and Southampton all proved to be mentally tougher Lester had the better quality and were quite clearly the best side out of all of them and after a rocky spell their quality shined fruit meanwhile it switch showed the resilience and character and experience from League one which leads maybe didn’t have as after a bad spell they were able to bounce back when it mattered most and hold Fair ner Southampton were able to get over the disappointment of missing out of automatic promotion quier and Russell Martin’s brilliant tactics versus Daniel far ultimately LED them to promotion so Lester it switch Southampton all led by three incredible young managers all who played beautiful attractive B dominant football with great stories and great players have had incredible seasons and will be in the Premier League next year just how good they will do we will find out in August what a great achievement from these three and what a great season of championship football so there we go that is the story of the championship promotion race hopefully you guys have enjoyed and if you have enjoyed this video please leave a like
