RedAndWhite91 Posted 9 June, 2010 Share Posted 9 June, 2010 If Rickie can stay fit I think he could break a few scoring records. Yeah, I can see him getting more than just one hat-trick this coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuRomseySaint Posted 9 June, 2010 Share Posted 9 June, 2010 I'm definitely looking forward to the new season. I think we have a good chance of breaking a few records - most goals scored in a season, most wins, best goal difference, etc. Any others we might break? LMFAO Our fans cheer me up. Can I have some of what you are having? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsacar saint Posted 9 June, 2010 Share Posted 9 June, 2010 I am looking forward to the season.How the players handle the favourites tag is the 64 million dollar question? We will almost certainly have the best playing squad,they will have to be the strongest squad mentally also,if we are to go up automatically.

Saints foreva Posted 9 June, 2010 Share Posted 9 June, 2010 I personally think we will bottle it and lose in the play offs. But I am usually negative. Anyone wondering what will happen to the club if we actually do fail? No doubt Pardew will be gone, but what about Markus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanh Posted 9 June, 2010 Share Posted 9 June, 2010 LMFAO Our fans cheer me up. Can I have some of what you are having? I always look forward to the new season. In the past it's generally been because I can't believe it will be worse than the one just finished, but this year the signs are pretty positive. Just put the question out there about the opportunity to break some records as it seemed to go with the positive vibe of the thread. Any thoughts on what records we might break - apart obviously from the record low number of fans in debt to the club thanks to the removal of the installment plan.

I am going to keep my thoughts about installment plan to that thread from now on. As it happens, I really don't think we will walk this league. I think we will finish in a play-off position, and should be close to the top 2, but to expect it, like most people do, is foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if we're not top quite early on, our mongy fans will turn on the team and we will crack under the pressure like we did this year when we had a good chance to make the playoffs.

Thedelldays Posted 9 June, 2010 Share Posted 9 June, 2010 No its not it is...I would argue that even if we won the JPT again and pardew failed to get promotion, he will be sacked if we went out of the cups at the first go and got promoted by any means..pardew keeps his job.. that is what I reckon anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 9 June, 2010 Share Posted 9 June, 2010 Personnaly think we will finish second behind Huddersfield. That will do fine for me! I dont know what all the fuss is about with HUdderfield, we turned them over easily at SMS last season and they were poor in the play offs against Millwall. They are a decent team yes, but no better than SWindon, Charlton or the three that came down. I think Brighton will surprise a few this season and i think MK Dons will be better. However, we should win this league, it doesn't mean we will but we should, if we dont win it, or at least get promoted then its our own fault, everything is in place to succeed.

If he cant do that he probably deserves to be sacked Leeds did well in the Cups last year and finished second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasper57saint Posted 9 June, 2010 Share Posted 9 June, 2010 One of the 'things' that excited me last season was for the FIRST time in God knows how many years we scored MORE goals than we conceded. (Second in goal difference I think) So of course Pilchards is right. I'm excited by the mere fact that we will score quite a few goals - sufficient to get to the top and stay there.Come on Saints get positive!

Appy Posted 9 June, 2010 Share Posted 9 June, 2010 I really can't beleive everyone is creaming themselves over Huddesfield. Yes they will probably be up there, but just because they have signed Arfield and Naysmith doesn't mean they will win the league, i think our threats will come from elsewhere personally.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 9 June, 2010 Share Posted 9 June, 2010 The thought of Saints being favourites for the league and the fact we buy half decent players these days, also it's nice we have two new kits soon to be announced and a chairman who's ambition is to take Saints to the top end of the Premiership. Why all the doom and gloom? Is it because we are becomming spoilt for choice these days and the fact some fans think they own this club... I'm happy anyway and so should you. Great post. For years we've waited for the moment the club was run in a professional way and there was hope at the beginning of the season - not of steering clear of relegation, but of real, determined and lasting success.

That's just another facet, of being a Saints fan, coming out in you, Stu. I think we can reasonably expect to expect to win the league. The owner expects it, the chairman expects it. No doubt, Pardew will know it is expected of him. He'll go for a fall back position of coming second in the league. But winning it will be the expectation. So why shouldn't we expect it..?
