Forester Posted 16 May, 2017 Posted 16 May, 2017 44 points and 15th. One place higher than I predicted at the start of the season. Reasonable for a very difficult time of change. How is it looking for your 15th prediction?
Heisenberg Posted 16 May, 2017 Posted 16 May, 2017 We arent going to go all season without a win over the big 6. So expecting 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss for Liverpool, United and Arsenal games. + wins over Boro and Stoke. 10 points, 51 points total and 8th. Cough, cough
Forester Posted 16 May, 2017 Posted 16 May, 2017 Found it... https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?57054-Prem-Predictions-(now-the-window-has-closed) Thanks for finding this. So it looks as if most thought we would finish between 10th and 14th before the season started, with some optimists saying 10th or 9th. Very few mentioned 8th....

I really can't get excited over whether we finish 8th or 12th to be honest.
SNSUN Posted 16 May, 2017 Author Posted 16 May, 2017 I really can't get excited over whether we finish 8th or 12th to be honest. Put into perspective 8th in the Premier League makes us the 8th best team in the country. And with the Premier League widely acknowledged as the best, most competitive in the whole world, that's pretty amazing stuff. Not to mention doing it with a club of our size in the same league as 6 huge financial hitters. (7 if you include the Everton wannabes.) Granted the football may have at times been dreary, and we haven't done as well as last season, but with a weaker first XI than last season, I think we've done well.

I get all that but there's only a handful of points between us all.
mrfahaji Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 We might be able to sneak 8th by earning just 1 more point, but don't tell Claude... Imagine the scenes on here if we did that, especially if the draw was a 0-0! Called it.
S-Clarke Posted 21 May, 2017 Posted 21 May, 2017 How the **** did we manage to finish 8th, seriously. What a truly horrendous mid-table bunch of teams this year.
