William Hill stop taking bets on Saints relegation

[lumuah]

You can bet on every other prem team, except southampton!

[stevegrant]

Foolish of them, really. You'd think they'd want to take the cash of mug punters jumping to conclusions.

[lumuah]

Tell a lie, you can again now, but odds have shortened to 4/1

[Batman]

we are down.

there is now way you can replace 6 or 7 first teamers with a couple of weeks to go.....just no way

 

the players we get in will largly wont be as good. some of them will flop completely, some will do very well

that is the law of averages in transfers

 

but we have already surrendered our premier league place IMO

 

Anyone saying otherwise (let alone saying we will be better or set for a top half finish) are just deluded

that is the cold hard facts of it all

 

what we are doing is completely unprecedented for reason that it is pure insanity

[Greenridge]

Skybet reduced odds from 28/1 to 22/1 today for SFC to finish bottom

Drink is not the answer, Jamie.

[aintforever]

22/1 is worth a punt, we could finish bottom by a mile.

We certainly aren't down, nothing is set in stone as of yet. However if we go with too many of the young academy players plus Hooieveld,Sharp,Mayuka etc on occasions we won't be far off at the end of the day. We seem to still be trying to sign players, whether they are of sufficient quality to ensure our survival remains to be seen. the PL is a hard league, there are no easy games and this is exactly what worries me with Koeman and some of the supposed recruits, they are used to steamrollering the opposition because they come from superior sides in their leagues. Saw Willem II against Marseille the other afty, now I know that Willem II are Dutch D2 but they were quite frankly atrocious, not even Sunday League quality, Bielsa doesn't have a great squad at Marseille and yet they just strolled past the Dutchmen.

I got 9/1 on sky bet last week for us to go down, changed 9/2 last time I looked.

.....out of 20 teams.

 

Hardly earth-shattering odds.

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

At this moment, with the players left, finishing one spot above the bottom 3 would be seen as success for me. Whether that opinion changes before the start of the season entirely depends on who we bring in after this car crash of a summer window.

All bets still on. Gone from 10th yesterday to 8th.

But Saints are 2/9 on to take the 7-a-side title.

Which would be 17th ! Yay !

Right now it's a no brainer ... We are relegation contenders. But on 1 Sep, things might be different.

Bugga, I could only get 6-1!

[Saints Warrior]

It wont matter how many players Saints get in, its going to take weeks for the team (if there is one of any experience) to get going. Creating goal chances and scoring goals is a worry as I see it, but now we have keeping goals out added to the problem. If the goal keeper goes to that's even more a problem

[yamms_schmitz]

I put my bet on us to go down before Poch left. I got odds of around 20-1. It is now 4-1.

If you had balls youd have gone for finishing bottom for the big return.

[stockbridge_saint]

It was 12-1 at the very end of the season, thought about putting money on it but decided it was too pessimistic

[Saint IQ]

I bet most the people betting on saints to go down are saints fans haha.

[SaintBobby]

I think we're a good bet to be relegated. If you can still get 20/1 on us finishing bottom, those are good odds

[Lighthouse]

we are down.

 

I can only assume you have bet every penny you own on this absolute fact? If you can get odds of 6-1 on an absolute certainty, surely that's just a license to print money.

 

Either that or you're just being a big girls blouse but we all know that's definitely not the case.

[BlakeySFC]

Said it before, will say it again, we still have a better squad than Burnley, Leicester and West Brom.

[JxgrSaint]

And Villa (unless Benteke regains some semblance of form) they've signed Kieran Richardson, Joe Cole and Philippe Senderos whilst they will probably lose Vlaar to us - could be worse...
