Yes, you are more or less correct on that one. Mind you, those mongy fans will not own up to their part in their folly and have even attempted to re-write history or conveniently sweep the whole episode under the carpet !

This is starting to rank alongside 'the reason why we did not re-appoint Glenn Hoddle and condemned ourselves to relegation' conspiracy.

I think we should sign Finbarr Saunders, ideal with Bellend

I got the last three absolutely right and think I will get the next as well. Saints defeat I am afraid.

\the other benefit is that it keeps us well above the scrapping zone. We should be fine for lower mid table finish, when things start to go wrong.

We have a real test coming up with the fourth of the 'sensational' seven.

In the Premiership, survival would be success ! Can't work out what you are talking about !

Oh dear, please read the threads all the way through and something might occur to you !

One thing is for sure, we will need about £50million to replace the entire team. Preferably before the and of May.

Success would be stayng in the premiership, even if that meant finishing 4th from bottom every year ! Just like the good old days !

So you were one of those responsible for our descent into League 1. Nice one, at least you admit it.

Hey, we had the chance in 2004 but chose to opt for an untried at prem level League 1 manager ! Still, the vocal few knew what was best for the club didn't they ?

f we had really wanted him, we would have paid another 1 or 2 million for him in the summer.

Agreed, t started when we failed to appoint Hoddle in 2004.

We almost certainly will drop away. I see us getting only two points from the next four games. Still, we might still be n the playoff zone or worse just outside it. Having said that, by Christmas i see us a being a very solid mid table team, slipping down gently to about 17th by the end of a very comfortable season for a newly promoted team that made a modest investment during the summer.

Actually said we would finish a comfortable 17th. Meaning, and have said it many times, we would slide downwards and not have to scramble upwards and therefore not be in a relegation scrap. Other than that, yes, we will finish about 17th

Not the point of the thread....season is only 10 games in. What happens f we lose lambert or another through injury ?

Same to you with two brass knobs on !

Nigel Adkins spent the summer chasing a striker ? my arse ! He barely broke into zimmer framed shuffle. If we had shown any intent or ambition we would have landed an A1 striker and a CB as well ! So far we have got away with it, but we won't for the whole season and it will cost us any chance of promotion. Mark my words !

can't believe you can be so negative about St. Mary's. After so many years at the Dell, so many years of wanting to get out of that ground, I am more than happy to be at SMS. Yes, it needs a bit of a spruce up but it's a hell of a lot better than what we used to have !

Revenge is sweetest when it is eaten cold.....our time will come but we need to be patient.

You would think so, however, no need to rush things at the moment.

Um Pahars, best views on this thread. Sums it up with perfection.

Next four games will be a big test I stand by my predictions but think I f i get one wrong it will be Reading in that we might sneak a draw against. Still, if we pick up a couple of points we should still be in the top six...just , which is pretty good !

Spot on post. I was constantly told throughout the summer that i was wrong about our lack of signings from May right up to the very last hour of the very last day of the transfer window. 'Not a bean' I said and was absolutely correct.
