We will get relegated if we are not careful, mark my words.

If he goes, we should go in for Redmond from Norwich.

Looking odds on for a relegation fight, especially with the European distraction to contend with.

Really ? Think about the price and impact of relegation. Think about how much each EPL place is worth ? If you think about the status of the Europa and FA Cup around the world, they are nothing compared to EPL.

We need to get on with it instead of pussy footing about.

I would go further and say that staying in the Premier league should take priority over all competitions, to the extent we play the reserve team in all competitions except the EPL

Well, I said this the day we qualified for the Europa League. If we are not careful, this bad start in the league could end up in a relegation fight. I would rather we exit Europe asap.

17th in the table on the 17th August. Lol.

The sole aim is to have a team that finishes above the relegation zone. Anyone who believes different has been fooled by the Club 'propaganda' machine.

Clasie could easily be one of the most influential players in the team if he did not spend so much time in the treatment room.

I will get slaughtered for saying this, but as long as we stay up I don't think the board care too much about anything else.

Every year we 'pussy foot' around in the transfer market. We have been lucky and got away with it, but I fear this year we will be sweating on finishing above the bottom three.

Clasie is injured, doubt we will see him until October.

Well said. I think this season could see us struggling a the wrong end of the table and that is down to penny pinching in the transfer market. Still, if we make our two key signings we should be ok this season.

Not funny.

Caulker has at least had experience fighting a relegation battle.

I suppose it could be a useful smokescreen whilst we home in on our real target, certainly hope so but I am not convinced.

Alpine says it how he sees it. He is direct and naturally negative showing his fears for the club on his sleeve. I would rather have colour and a bit of controversy than bland safe corporate style statements.

We should have hired Hoddle in 2004. You are one year early. Strachan was a superb manager and if he had stayed on we would probable have not gone down a couple of years later. This year I have predicted us to finish 14th but I also envisage us dropping into the relegation zone for a short time.

Pre-season 'Saintsweb' warming up now, so it seems. Nice to see the same old crowd on form.

We have had an exceptional two years, but this year will be a struggle. I have predicted 14th.

Ah, CB FRY, my number 1 stalker. I am only banging on about the transfer window because it is something that is one of the main topics at the moment. You criticise anything that I say regardless and you know it.

Oh no, its the 'rose coloured spectacle' brigade.

I have predicted earlier on, around 14th. Looks like Chester to WBA, we are really not trying hard enough.
