SaintTex Posted 21 August, 2022 Share Posted 21 August, 2022 (edited) while it is kind of satisfying in the short term seeing Chelsea, Man City, etc. drop points, it means our relegation rivals are gaining points. I look at the 20 teams this year and it is difficult to make an argument for any of them going down - save maybe Bournemouth. The top 6 may end up in the top 6 this year, but it really feels like the bottom 14 have been more equal to each other than ever (at least to my admitted limited knowledge of history). Its going to be a dog fight. Edited 21 August, 2022 by SaintTex 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I’m concerned anyone can still end up having a good or bad season, I really can’t be arsed having these micro-anxieties over Leeds or Forest picking up an unexpected point. Leeds thumped Chelsea and good on them. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarehamSaintJames Posted 22 August, 2022 Share Posted 22 August, 2022 It was touched on yesterday but there definitely a sense that the mid/lower teams have nothing to fear and realise their best form of defence is attack. It certainly unnerves the higher ranked teams. It’s too early to judge really. Bournemouth may have lost two but they were both against the top six. Forest got extremely lucky to gain anything against West Ham and walked away with a win; whereas this weekend the really deserved to beat Everton. Leeds - fair play brilliant start. Us - a good start too. Etc… I think there will be a top six-eight that are slightly ahead of the pack but I think they’ll be a couple of new teams pushing in there. The rest of the league is just an absolute free for all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds thumped Chelsea and good on them. Agree Remember Palace a few seasons back, they didn’t get a single point or goal in the first 7, yet they ended up staying up comfortably. We also a couple of seasons back had a massively tough first 10-12 games and everyone was predicting relegation but we were fine. Far far too early to tell, promoted teams generally start well because of coming off a high, Leeds are probably still in new manger bounce period, teams will make signings, managers will get sacked etc. Even making predictions after like 12 games you can end up looking silly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a heavy defeat tonight and a poor result in their next game and you have to wonder if they'll stick with him. His arrival appears to have made a bad situation worse.

But how much longer can they continue shuffling through managers before tackling the crux of the problem? So many horrible characters as players in that club (and terrible players too), terrible ownership, equally bad football management/DoF stuff. Until those things are fixed, they'll just keep cycling through manager after manager with no strategy. First thing they need to do is work out what they are, what style they want to play, let the manager build that and go from there.

suewhistle Posted 22 August, 2022 Share Posted 22 August, 2022 The only problem with Manchester Utd being tonked tonight is that it sets up Saints for their role as the team you want to meet when on a bad run.

It must be super slow because they have not won much in ages. But to the point since Ferguson left they simply haven't had anyone with enough respect to force the big players to play together. Moreneo got closest but his toxic brand of doing this has passed it shelf life. They have also spent a lot of money so when the Man U faithful complain about lack of investment it seems a little off the point to the rest of is Premier league and lower teams trying to get by. Screw them I still remember listening to that 6-3 on Solent, one of the best afternoons I have ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
