Batman Posted 28 September, 2013 Share Posted 28 September, 2013 Probably not. But will be a good season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 28 September, 2013 Share Posted 28 September, 2013 Probably not no. Think some people are getting a bit carried away....We've only played WBA, Sunderland, Norwich, WHU, Liverpool and Palace ! We'll see how we get on at Old Trafford and then when we play against Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal. Top 6 is a possible but very unlikely. 7th is possible...

farawaysaint Posted 28 September, 2013 Share Posted 28 September, 2013 No. We do not have the squad depth of City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, or even Liverpool Swansea or Everton, nor do we have the world class match winners of your Suarez, Coutinho's, RVP's, Dzekos etc of the league.

Saint_clark Posted 28 September, 2013 Share Posted 28 September, 2013 66-1 on Ladbrokes at the mo. Relegation is 33-1 for anyone that wants to cover themselves (Glasgow? Where has he disappeared to recently?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simo Posted 28 September, 2013 Share Posted 28 September, 2013 I kinda feel the same disbelief as I did when we were at the top of the championship and look what happened there!

Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 No, but convincingly see off Swansea and get something at Man Utd and I may have to think again. At the moment 6th-10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepgar Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 In m keeping my feet firmly on the ground and enjoying the moment. Keep this up and who knows. The next run of sutures could really propel us and put some serious points on the board. Keep things simple, keep things tight at the back and take your chances when they come. Love being a Saints fan right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Tony Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 I'd expect a defeat next week, just to bring us back down to earth. I think 8th-10th should be a target, I still believe the likes of Swansea and Everton are a level above us. Would love to be proved wrong though. We're certainly building solid foundations, yesterday I wasn't worried one bit about not winning the game once we were 2 up, which makes a change. Will be interesting once we start playing some of the top sides (I do not include Liverpool in that). There's no reason we can't get a few points off of then. Let's just try and keep calm when we come unstuck against a few teams below us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch01 Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 There is absolutely no way we will finish in the top four. We might well come top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 Top 4? No chance. Not to be pessimistic but I'd be amazed if we're 4th after another 6 games. However, being in this position gives us great confidence and belief, and with that (hopefully) comes better and better performances. We're showing signs of being a very good side cos like the best sides, we are getting points when not playing at our best and that is mostly down to the new found resilience of the back 5. OK, we're not scoring many, but if you keep a clean sheet then you only need to score 1, and while you do keep a clean sheet, you'll never lose. When we start finding the net more regularly we'll be a real force. Maybe not top 4, but top 7/8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig Dig Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 Ha, thought I would see a thread like this after yesterdays game. We will probably lose to Swansea as consistency is our main issue and then there will be a thread claiming that MP hasn't taken us to the next level and that 2 points from Sunderland, West Ham and Swansea at home is woeful. We will likely have a nice mid table season without fear of relegation unless we start winning 3-4 games on the spin fairly regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 Still think we'll be somewhere around 8th to 12th. But it's surprising what a wobbly start some of the big teams have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpbury Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 I always think 'Remember Hull' when this topic comes up. They were top after a couple of months (memory fails exactly). Then they went down, I think the same season. Probably a few other examples - Norwich? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orchardsaint Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 Yes it is possible. We could win the league, that is also possible. What most people on here are doing is confusing possible with probable. We could win every game between now and the end of the season. Possible, but not very probable in most peoples view. However, let's just be happy with looking at the league and being fourth. Isn't it a fantastic feeling. The younger ones on here won't know how it feels so enjoy yourselves supporting a fantastic club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 I was joking above, clearly. But see no reason why we can't have a good season, as said probably somewhere 8-12th I'd imagine. That said, Strachan had us 4th at Xmas 10 years ago, in my opinion we have a better team at present. Let's just enjoy the ride eh? I reckon we'll have a few more Anfield days, upsetting some of the big boys, and obviously a few horror shows along the way too. We'll probably get done at home by Hull or someone. Not the end of the world really, surely this is why we watch football, because it is unpredictable. It's going to be hard for those that seem to revel in misery this year I think. Bless 'em. A thought occurred to me last week when I was at the Emirates (a really nice stadium) that for all the claims of you have to spend mega-money to have success, up until very recently, Arsenals record signing was Arshavin for £15m. Relatively little really. Especially who you consider the players they have had, and the sums they have been sold for. To clarify, I am not saying we are going to get a CL spot or seriously challenge for the League title - but it does show what can be achieved when a club is well run, which Arsenal certainly are - granted more so when David Dein was there.

Window Cleaner Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 In fact by merely reproducing last season's points total for the remaining 32 games we would finish at least 8th by last season's standards. So with our actual start 8th would be a pretty disappointing performance actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
