Nordic Saint Posted 12 August, 2017 Share Posted 12 August, 2017 With the fixtures we've got, we could well be top of the league by September 10th. Of course, we wouldn't stay there, but it would be nice to it at the top of the Premier League for the first time. Have we ever had 4 opening PL fixtures whiich looked easier than these?

whelk Posted 12 August, 2017 Share Posted 12 August, 2017 I'll be disappointed if we concede a goal before October as we have such easy fixtures. Cakewalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted 12 August, 2017 Share Posted 12 August, 2017 It is certainly an opportunity, however it never seems to work like that for Saints, especially as we have never won a opening game at home in the Prem. The season we got relegated I think we lost a lot of easy home games which gave us a mountain to climb by the time we sorted our **** out, so it can work both ways.

Nordic Saint Posted 12 August, 2017 Author Share Posted 12 August, 2017 Bellend, now we'll be bottom, what have you done? Bellend to you too. You certainly must be one of you believe anything posted on here will have any affect on a football result. And, no, we won't be bottom after those 4 games.

Bad Wolf Posted 12 August, 2017 Share Posted 12 August, 2017 Huddersfield away isn't easy in the slightest. It's the one fixture I wanted to avoid early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceandfriendly Posted 12 August, 2017 Share Posted 12 August, 2017 2 points would be a great return from those four fixtures, but that won't be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swansea H West Ham H Hudddersfield A Watford H Bah humbug. There was life before the Premier League! We were top of the league in 1981/82 for several weeks. And it was in January/February, not at the start of the season. We did trail off rather badly at the end of that season and finished 7th. Two years later we finished runners up, although that was the result of a good late run and we never actually topped the table that season.

Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 12 August, 2017 Share Posted 12 August, 2017 Fantastic to see this sort post before our season has even begun. How many times last season did I read 'We look like the only team capable of scoring' minutes before conceding a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 9 September, 2017 Share Posted 9 September, 2017 Well done you must be pleased tonightThought it was a silly thread at the time and it has proven to be so. Unlike you, I'm a fan of sfc so I'd like nothing better than us to be performing to our best but it was clear we weren't going to do that without some key signings.

aintforever Posted 9 September, 2017 Share Posted 9 September, 2017 The worrying thing is we look so ****e after such easy fixtures, ****ing up winnable home games early in the season saw us relegated last time. Nothing wrong with the thread, the fixture list gave us a good opportunity to be around the top of the table early on but we have failed miserably.
