Dr Who? Posted 25 October, 2014 Posted 25 October, 2014 After more sloppy research from the BBC, they seem to think we are going to get put back in our place. Now I looked at the BBC website for the fixtures. A mixed bag, but I do not see it being that tough! Hull City v Southampton 1-1 Southampton v Leicester 3-0 Villa v Southampton 0-1 Southampton v Man City 1-1 Arsenal v Southampton 3-0 Southampton v Man U 2-0 Burnley v Southampton 0-2 Southampton v Everton 2-0 Crystal Palace v Southampton 1-2 I make us pretty much safe!
Saint_clark Posted 25 October, 2014 Posted 25 October, 2014 Hull City v Southampton 1-3 Southampton v Leicester 4-0 Villa v Southampton 0-2 Southampton v Man City 2-1 Arsenal v Southampton 1-1 Southampton v Man U 2-0 Burnley v Southampton 1-3 Southampton v Everton 2-0 Crystal Palace v Southampton 1-2 Nothing to fear. 24 points, 43 in total. On course for the title. If we can stick to one defeat we'll have a good couple of months.
Jack Posted 25 October, 2014 Posted 25 October, 2014 I love the optimism, but we won't see results like that IMO. I do think we'll beat one of the Manchester teams or Arsenal, but let's not get carried away. I'm sure we'll enjoy the ride either way.
Dark Munster Posted 25 October, 2014 Posted 25 October, 2014 Arsenal v Southampton 3-0 Doubt it. Barring significant squad injuries, or sendings off, I think the only teams who could beat us by 3 or more goals are Chelski and Citeh. ManUre may be able to put 3 or more past us, but we'd probably do the same to them.
Saint_Tony Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 Would be happy with 11 points, going into the new year with 30. If we're serious about improving on last year then I think we's need at least 18, bit of a tall order. Would be surprised if we win 4 or more of those games, but we're about to see what this team is really made of
Black Sea Saint Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 Hull City v Southampton 1-1 Southampton v Leicester 2-0 Villa v Southampton 0-0 Southampton v Man City 1-2 Arsenal v Southampton 2-1 Southampton v Man U 1-2 Burnley v Southampton 0-2 Southampton v Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace v Southampton 1-2 Southampton v Chelsea 0-2 31 points on New Year's Day. I'd be happy with that
Redslo Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 Hull City v Southampton 1-1 Southampton v Leicester 2-0 Villa v Southampton 0-0 Southampton v Man City 1-2 Arsenal v Southampton 2-1 Southampton v Man U 1-2 Burnley v Southampton 0-2 Southampton v Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace v Southampton 1-2 Southampton v Chelsea 0-2 31 points on New Year's Day. I'd be happy with that I would have taken that at the beginning of the season, but right now I would be disappointed--unless maybe we were in the League Cup Semi-final with a good draw.
sammysaint Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 Hull City v Southampton 1-1 Southampton v Leicester 2-0 Villa v Southampton 0-0 Southampton v Man City 1-2 Arsenal v Southampton 2-1 Southampton v Man U 1-2 Burnley v Southampton 0-2 Southampton v Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace v Southampton 1-2 Southampton v Chelsea 0-2 31 points on New Year's Day. I'd be happy with that I would agree with the results you have gone with, City Arsenal and Utds attack will really test our defence, personally dont really see us wining them games and I am sure we will drop some points vs a poor team, however unlike last season i think were draw them rather then lose them.
CB Fry Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 After more sloppy research from the BBC, they seem to think we are going to get put back in our place. This is based on what exactly? Please don't say Ruud Gullit saying we have some tough games coming up last night.
Whitey Grandad Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 Against better sides we've created less and missed the vital chances. We are a lot better than the rest, so create a lot, and miss a lot, like yesterday. We have the potential to batter these sides but with the top ones when it's just one or two chances, I'm not convinced we're clinical enough to make it count. Exactly what happened at Liverpool and spurs. That said, if we have mane, Rodriguez, tadic and pelle all available and on form this season, we'll trouble anyone. Don't undervalue the defensive side. Only five goals against is extremely valuable.

Webby Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 Hull City v Southampton D Southampton v Leicester W Villa v Southampton W Southampton v Man City D Arsenal v Southampton L Southampton v Man U W Burnley v Southampton W Southampton v Everton D Crystal Palace v Southampton D 16 points
Saint_Tony Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 Hull 2-1 Saints Saints 2-1 Leicester Villa 0-0 Saints Saints 1-3 Man City Arsenal 2-3 Saints Saints 2-2 Man Utd Burnley 2-1 Saints Saints 3-1 Everton Palace 2-0 Saints 11 points. Anything more than that would be an incredible achievement and would probably make us genuine top 6 contenders, hence why I'm anticipating a slight downturn in results. Still, 31 points would put us on course for a similar finish to last year. 8th is a waste of time, so unless we do well in November/december, it will be better to focus on the FA cup
LGTL Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 Hull 2-1 Saints Saints 2-1 Leicester Villa 0-0 Saints Saints 1-3 Man City Arsenal 2-3 Saints Saints 2-2 Man Utd Burnley 2-1 Saints Saints 3-1 Everton Palace 2-0 Saints 11 points.

Ok.
Batman Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 So you think we'll beat Arsenal, draw with United but lose to Hull, Burnley and Palace. Ok. it happens. the premier league is a beast
LGTL Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 it happens. the premier league is a beast Nothing so far suggests those set of results are in any way plausible. We'd might as well predict we'd win/lose all of them.
Batman Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 Nothing so far suggests those set of results are in any way plausible. We'd might as well predict we'd win/lose all of them. nothing has to happen. that is why bookies are very rich.
Saint_Tony Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 So you think we'll beat Arsenal, draw with United but lose to Hull, Burnley and Palace. Ok. Yes. Football's a funny old game, as we've seen this season. Hull are playing well at the moment. And I think we might be burnt out after the 3 games against United, City and Arsenal. Or should i expect maximum points as we are higher in the league than everyone else?

Bet you are particularly sh1t at Super 6 predictions.
SNSUN Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 I'm going with a bit of the old Saints pessimism here, years of disappointment ingrained upon my psyche. I hope we do better than this, and that the bubble doesn't burst. Hull City v Southampton 1-1 Southampton v Leicester 2-0 Villa v Southampton 1-1 Southampton v Man City 0-2 Arsenal v Southampton 2-1 Southampton v Man U 1-1 Burnley v Southampton 0-2 Southampton v Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace v Southampton 1-1 11 points, still pretty good and I thought I was being tight! 30 points, a decent platform for January.
NickG Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 These are level of results typically needed for 5th/6th, and with our start would still gave us ahead of whats needed over season so far; hull City v Southampton D Southampton v Leicester W Villa v Southampton D Southampton v Man City L Arsenal v Southampton L Southampton v Man U L Burnley v Southampton W Southampton v Everton L Crystal Palace v Southampton D Southampton v Chelsea L So don't get too down if we do drop points
Dr Who? Posted 26 October, 2014 Author Posted 26 October, 2014 Liverpool 2-1 Southampton Southampton 0-0 West Brom West Ham 1-3 Southampton Southampton 4-0 Newcastle Swansea 0-1 Southampton Southampton 2-1 QPR Spurs 1-0 Sputhampton Southampton 8-0 Sunderland Southampton 1-0 Stoke Who would have predicted this run of results 18 points out of the last 21 available. 6 wins in our last 7 games and only conceded 1 goal at home and 4 away. 2 of the away goals on the opening day.
The Kraken Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 These are level of results typically needed for 5th/6th, and with our start would still gave us ahead of whats needed over season so far; hull City v Southampton D Southampton v Leicester W Villa v Southampton D Southampton v Man City L Arsenal v Southampton L Southampton v Man U L Burnley v Southampton W Southampton v Everton L Crystal Palace v Southampton D Southampton v Chelsea L So don't get too down if we do drop points You've just predicted 9 points from 10 games; that's relegation form. I'm really not sure what on earth you're saying about 5th or 6th. If we have those ten results we will not be 5th or 6th. 7th place is currently just 5 points behind us.
LGTL Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 Yes. Football's a funny old game, as we've seen this season. Hull are playing well at the moment. And I think we might be burnt out after the 3 games against United, City and Arsenal. Or should i expect maximum points as we are higher in the league than everyone else? I'd bet any amount of money we won't lose to Hull Palace and Burnley. The latter being Championship standard at best.
Saint_Tony Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 I'd bet any amount of money we won't lose to Hull Palace and Burnley. The latter being Championship standard at best. Well let's see how many points you think we'll get out of these next 9 games
Saint_Tony Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 Bet you are particularly sh1t at Super 6 predictions. Well no actually. Results never work out how you expect. Just ask people who bet the likes of liverpool, arsenal and utd to win every weekend.
Dr Who? Posted 26 October, 2014 Author Posted 26 October, 2014 I'd bet any amount of money we won't lose to Hull Palace and Burnley. The latter being Championship standard at best. I see Hull away a tough game..... £20 says draw you lose for Saints. I am a betting man, but will be very happy to give you £20 next Saturday.
Dr Who? Posted 26 October, 2014 Author Posted 26 October, 2014 I'd bet any amount of money we won't lose to Hull Palace and Burnley. The latter being Championship standard at best. Oh I see you are saying lose to all 3.... Not a chance!
Nolan Posted 26 October, 2014 Posted 26 October, 2014 wow there is some pessimism on here. We got 18 points from the corresponding 9 fixtures last year (Substituting Fulham and Cardiff for Leicester and Burnley respectively) . We should be aiming at getting at least the same seeing as we have a better squad now. we have away wins against the teams sitting in 4th and 6th so we obviously can handle other form teams.
Dr Who? Posted 26 October, 2014 Author Posted 26 October, 2014 Top 4 for Christmas would be nice again. I think we were 4th for Chrismas in 2002? I really do think, that because the start we have had, we have put ourselves in a great position to finish in the top 6!
PhilippineSaint Posted 27 October, 2014 Posted 27 October, 2014 well according to the predictor league I have the following. Hull City v Southampton 1-3 Southampton v Leicester 3-0 Villa v Southampton 1-2 Southampton v Man City 2-1 Arsenal v Southampton 1-1 Southampton v Man U 2-0 Burnley v Southampton 1-2 Southampton v Everton 3-1 Crystal Palace v Southampton 1-2 so it looks like we will only drop a couple of points at the Arse I am not a happy clappy but a realist really.
CB Fry Posted 27 October, 2014 Posted 27 October, 2014 These are level of results typically needed for 5th/6th, and with our start would still gave us ahead of whats needed over season so far; hull City v Southampton D Southampton v Leicester W Villa v Southampton D Southampton v Man City L Arsenal v Southampton L Southampton v Man U L Burnley v Southampton W Southampton v Everton L Crystal Palace v Southampton D Southampton v Chelsea L So don't get too down if we do drop points 9 points from 10 is "the level of results needed for 5th/6th"? Crystal Palace and Leicester fans will be delighted - they've got 9 from 9 so will be planning next year's Europa League away days already. NickG, your "stats and logic" truly are beyond me.
ChrisPY Posted 27 October, 2014 Posted 27 October, 2014 Hull City v Southampton 2-1 Southampton v Leicester 1-1 Villa v Southampton 0-0 Southampton v Man City 1-3 Arsenal v Southampton 2-1 Southampton v Man U 2-2 Burnley v Southampton 1-2 Southampton v Everton 2-0 Crystal Palace v Southampton 0-1 Southampton v Chelsea 1-1 13 points from those games should keep us around the top 6 going into the new year.
Goatboy Posted 27 October, 2014 Posted 27 October, 2014 Well no actually. Results never work out how you expect. Just ask people who bet the likes of liverpool, arsenal and utd to win every weekend. Why on earth would anyone do that?
Cabrone Posted 27 October, 2014 Posted 27 October, 2014 Hull City v Southampton 1-2 Southampton v Leicester 2-0 Villa v Southampton 1-1 Southampton v Man City 2-2 Arsenal v Southampton 2-1 Southampton v Man U 3-2 Burnley v Southampton 1-2 Southampton v Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace v Southampton 1-1 Southampton v Chelsea 1-3 16 points would be a good haul from these games.
SO16_Saint Posted 27 October, 2014 Posted 27 October, 2014 20 points from those 10 games. Not sure where or how, but I'm just going to keep with our 2.1 points per game ratio. 80 points come end of the season

We've conceded 5 goals so far, what makes you think we'll concede that many and keep just one clean sheet?
CB Fry Posted 5 November, 2014 Posted 5 November, 2014 (edited) This thread isn't predicting we will win the league, or finish top whatever, it is to appreciate and enjoy the achievement of the start of our season. So not "spouting" anything! I agree with rest of your post (apart from moron, I'm far from that, but will admit to being excitable about saints - is that meant to be an insult? Our finish has much to do with how other teams do, I can't see Liverpool, Everton or spurs matching their last seasons - maybe not Man U. Don't think your prediction is unrealistic, really hard to predict this season. 8th would be a good season, I keep telling myself that but fear my heart is started to see higher as attainable! Bookies seem to have us finishing 6th. No, I don't realise that , as its not true. I haven't predicted our next games, don't generally go in for game prediction as don't like balancing my optimism with expecting a win when I go. You may have got yourself confused, again, with posts in motd thread? There was discussion about what's will happen over next few months and whether we will drop. A poster gave their prediction. I gave example showing we don't need to beat top teams, and can perform a lot worse and start new year in good position. You seem to want to jump on my posts for some reason. Have I offended you? Anyway don't want to get personal but you've missed your target last two attempts You don't go in for predictions? I've got confused? And it isn't true? Okay then. Have a look on the November/December predictions thread. These are level of results typically needed for 5th/6th, and with our start would still gave us ahead of whats needed over season so far; hull City v Southampton D Southampton v Leicester W Villa v Southampton D Southampton v Man City L Arsenal v Southampton L Southampton v Man U L Burnley v Southampton W Southampton v Everton L Crystal Palace v Southampton D Southampton v Chelsea L So don't get too down if we do drop points "This is the level of results needed for 5th/6th" no it isn't, it's relegation form and we'd be down to about eighth on that run. And you forecast us losing all of our games against the big boys. Yeah. Look at me all wrong and missing the target. Edited 5 November, 2014 by CB Fry

Yeah. Look at me all wrong and missing the target. He never said that it's pretty obvious he never said anything like that CB fried. What's he's saying is that with those results are good enough for top 5 and we should be aiming for that, with a a chance of top 10 but a likely realistic position of 2-16th. Or something.
Ultimatt Posted 5 November, 2014 Posted 5 November, 2014 Hull City v Southampton 0-1 W (Confident about this one) Southampton v Leicester 2-0 W Villa v Southampton D 1-2 W Southampton v Man City 0-2 L Arsenal v Southampton 2-1 L Southampton v Man U 1-1 D Burnley v Southampton 0-3 W Capital One Cup - Sheffield United v Southampton 0-2 W Southampton v Everton 0-1 L Crystal Palace v Southampton 1-4 W Southampton v Chelsea 0-2 L 5W 1D 4L - 16pts to put us on 35pts in 19 games.

A somewhat pessimistic set of forecasts after the first three in the list but entirely understandable for a Saints' fan. The encouraging thing is that even these results would mean that at the halfway point of the season we would be halfway to 70 points. Last year that would have been 6th place. Whilst 6th place would be very creditable, I feel we can do better than that but also, we do need to win against one or two of the 'big clubs' as we did against Liverpool last year, before the football world will see us as anything more than just a decent second category side.
