Turkish Posted 6 July, 2010 Share Posted 6 July, 2010 lallana and Puncheon will become indepesible and be outstanding Lambert will only score 29 goals in the league and posters will think all season he is not happy and want to leave and hasn't got it anymore, is over the hill etc We will lose at least one game after which fans will slate pardew for being tatically inept and on his way out we will go at least two games without winning, after which fans will slate pardew for being tactially inept and on his way out Dickson will not be the new Roberto carlos and posters will say harding was better Posters will slate a 2-1 home win against Hartlepool (or similar) as unacceptable and we should win these game at least 10-0 Anymore?

SaintBobby Posted 6 July, 2010 Share Posted 6 July, 2010 some ups and downs. And one or two iffy patches. But overall, well get about 100 points and win the league by about a dozen points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick1976.4.38 Posted 7 July, 2010 Share Posted 7 July, 2010 as a saints fan since 1966 lets just say im hopeful of a top spot and certainly not confident.there are many teams in this league who see us as the scalp they want.it will be long and hard,do not disrespect the opposition,it may just come back to bite us where it hurts.lets enjoy the season and fingers crossed,promotion at the end.coys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester_Saint Posted 7 July, 2010 Share Posted 7 July, 2010 OP seems pretty accurate, certainly if at any stage we aren't in the top two, be it after 1 game or 45, AP and the team will certainly take some stick. If we aren't in the top two after 46 games, it must be regarded as a big underachievement, what with the players and resources at our disposal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westofshannonsaint Posted 7 July, 2010 Share Posted 7 July, 2010 I think we will retain the JPT & win the league or at least automatic promotion. We will have a bad spell at some stage in the season which will probably coincide with us meeting p*mpey or manure in the league/fa cup. Cortese will say something like "recent results are a concern" when we slip temporarily out of the top 2 and the world will think Pardew is getting the sack... he wont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 7 July, 2010 Share Posted 7 July, 2010 If we take away our 10 points deduction and first 10 games off last season and base it on the final 28 games we would of been promoted last year. We had a good team last year but there was still a lot of gash in there too. A lot of those have now moved on. We are adding better players to the squad now. We need a few more to act as cover. If we get those in then i expect a top 2 finish. No excuses. We have to get auto promoted next season. I predict we will win the league! I hope we put out a z team in the JPT and Carling cup. The cups are nice and going to Wembley was a great day out but the league is priority this year. Having other things can lead to distractions!

The cups are nice and going to Wembley was a great day out but the league is priority this year. Having other things can lead to distractions! Young understudies being on the end of a shock defeat at the hands of some no hopers certainly doesn't do much for their confidence or hopes of progress. Redkrap did that (Mansfield and even more worringly Man U FFS) amongst others and also used it as an excuse not to play up and coming youngsters later with a "see i told you they weren't as good as you thought" retort. I, like AP beleive winning every game is better than resting everybody and losing. Of course a couple of players can be rested if carrying injuries, but not the whole squad. We are the big scalp, The Billy Big ****** of the league that the likes of Bomo, Hartlepool, Rochdale and Dagenham and Redbridge will be looking to cut down to size. Games against us will be their Cup Final. The pressure on us as clear favourites will be immense and this board will go into meltdown everytime we fail to win at a canter.

Saint_clark Posted 7 July, 2010 Share Posted 7 July, 2010 Hammond will become the new Wotton/Jermaine Wright/generic scapegoat. There is always a position in a team that is the weakest player, even if that team is Real Madrid or Man United. There is always room for improvement. FWIW, looking at the team now i'd say the "weak link" would indeed be Hammond, or possibly Jaidi. But that is really scraping around for something to improve.

itchen_dan Posted 7 July, 2010 Share Posted 7 July, 2010 Think we'll do a Leeds tbh and drift away towards the end of the season. We'll lead from the start until about February/March then Sheff Wed or Huddersfield will overtake us and we will finish second. I only think this because I don't think we'll be able to cope with the pressure of maintaining performance after performance. I'd love to be proved wrong though... whatever happens, promotion please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View From The Top Posted 7 July, 2010 Share Posted 7 July, 2010 We will fall behind to an early goal at some norven hovel and an overseas based saint will go into meltdown and despite going on to win the game, said mental case will use it as evidence of Saints clear failure. We will also lose a game by a single goal despite battering the opposition. An overseas based saint will go into meltdown and said mental case will use it as evidence of Saints clear failure to heed his warnings and buy Torres.

John B Posted 7 July, 2010 Share Posted 7 July, 2010 I think we will do well but other teams and fans will want us to fail. If we have the rub of the green and not too many injuries we should do really well. But if for any reason we have a bad spell we should remain confident Although I think it would be absolutely to stupid to sack Pardew during the season I feel that any reasonable manager should achieve promotion with players we currently have and the support of the fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West End Saint Posted 7 July, 2010 Share Posted 7 July, 2010 I really do think we will win the league there are no excuses we have the team we have the manager we have no points deduction we have the belief it has to be our time. I think we will sign another 3 or 4 players before the end of the month which will give us the depth we need in the squad in Pards I trust. I am not expecting it to be a cake walk and in the bag by March but I do think we will win the league we have the best team we now have a winning mentality I can't wait for the season to start.

Thedelldays Posted 7 July, 2010 Share Posted 7 July, 2010 we will draw the first game (its the law) we will go on a run about october time and storm up the league and sit in the top 2 comfortably we will hit a sticky patch around new years and loses a few on the road and draw against a crud team at home and pards feels the pressure we will make a big signing in jan we will finish in the top 2 and fight it out with sheff wed for the title lambert will score 30 league goals lallana will win player of the season Puncheon will shine as will morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedArmy Posted 7 July, 2010 Share Posted 7 July, 2010 We'll start off slow with some tough away trips, hit form early October and go on to get a clear lead at the top only to let it slip at the end of season and just hang on as Champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 7 July, 2010 Share Posted 7 July, 2010 I will drop my hot dog on the floor having just purchased it, during the first game against Plymouth at SMS, as I did last season - and it will become a seasonal tradition of mine. Cortese will start charging fans for using the air inside SMS during games. We'll draw Chelsea in the FA Cup 3rd round, beat them 2-0, after the game Terry speaks up and say "I'd rather be playing for Southampton, at least they're going places". Flybe get annoyed with their sponsorship ending that they start flying their planes just 10 metres above SMS during games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 7 July, 2010 Share Posted 7 July, 2010 Every team that comes to st Mary's will play for a draw resulting in loads of dire matches at home where the opposition puts 10 men behind the ball and a lone striker up front to try and nick a goal and the 3pts at the death.

CWD Posted 7 July, 2010 Share Posted 7 July, 2010 We will lose to Bournemouth. All their fans will start saying how they are better and Eddie Howe will say 'its good to get a win against your biggest rivals'. Then we'll have 17 threads on how they aren't our rivals and how much we hate them and their poxy little club, proving that they are our rivals.
