suewhistle Posted 22 July, 2018 Share Posted 22 July, 2018 Abramovich loses interest after his visa troubles. Chelsea are magic, and disappear from the top division. Puel has interesting possibilities away from Leicester. BFS (wherever he is?) gets another chance at a team yet to be determined, around about Christmas, for a club rather more decisive than Saints. Klopp has an unfortunate incident when the wind changes and his gurning gets fixed in place. Everton remodel their dugouts as they realise they can't afford a new ground. Citeh continue to make the Premier League boring: playing great football.. Gallagher scores a hat-trick for Saints and the forum goes into melt down. We lose 3-4. Apart from that I haven't a clue.

SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 23 July, 2018 Share Posted 23 July, 2018 1. Man City 2. Man Utd 3. Liverpuddle 4. Spuds 5. Arse-nil 6. Chelski 7. Everton - with Silva receiving huge plaudits for transforming Everton into a club that can compete for European qualification. Relegated: 3 from 4 - Cardiff, Huddersfield, Brighton, Bournemouth Saints: 15th - Saints will still struggle for goals though they may get a few more than the last couple of seasons. However, they will also concede a lot of goals until Hughes decides to abandon 3-5-2 and reverts to 4-4-2 for the last ten games of the season. The other team to finish below us will be West Ham. At Chelsea the saga of whether Hazard will stay or go will rumble on until the closure of the transfer window and then again in the January window. Chelsea will not let him go at either time but his performances will suffer - especially in 2019. Puel will be sacked in December with Leicester in 12th, after a fairly good start to the season is followed by a run of 10 games with only one goal. Leicester's directors are labelled heartless for sacking him just before Christmas. Burnley to be eliminated early from European competition and have a poor start to the season, but will recover to finish just above mid table. Crystal Palace will surprise everyone and finish in the top half, narrowly missing out on European qualification. Leicester will recover from 12th to also finish in the top half. Jack Wilshere, Charlie Austin, Andy Carroll, Dean Sturridge, Danny Ings, Adam Lallana, Ashley Young, Luke Shaw to spend most of the season injured like Oxlade-Chamberlain. Oxo to defy expectations and return in February but then to get injured in his third game with a completely different injury that keeps him out for another year. Portsmouth struggle as Jake Wigley proves to be a worse coach than his father. The club are fined for making an illegal approach for a player and several players go on strike. Wigley resigns, but Paul Robinson becomes caretaker manager until the end of the season. Despite a record of only one win in the last seven, the board offer Robinson the manager's job permanently at the end of the season after Pompey narrowly escape relegation on the last day of the season - but their escape is only because of results elsewhere.

Ultimatt Posted 23 July, 2018 Share Posted 23 July, 2018 Hughes has either been told to, or said he would, play attacking football. That's seen us concede 22 goals in his 13 games, conceding 3 goals 5/13 games. That sort of defence will have us hovering around the relegation zone 100%. The fans will be entertained as we march on to the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bit of a plonker Posted 23 July, 2018 Share Posted 23 July, 2018 City win title, Liverpool finish close second in exciting race that has pundits proclaiming the premier league to be the bestest league in the world ever. Despite 14 teams playing drab football desperately trying to avoid relegation. 2 of he 3 promoted sides survive. Cardiff get relegated but surprise the league with a fantastic team goal comprising 5 passes, including an 80 yard hoof from the keeper. Saints finish 16th with Forster being the hero of the hour, scoring 5 goals in the last 6 matches in his new position of big lump up the front. He ends up top scorer and a recall to the england squad. Gao makes a Saints related statement. Unfortunately it is that we have tripled our Chinese based Saints support, as Nelly has triplets. 3 english teams make the champions league semi finals. Barcelona win the competition. Southgate gets sacked from England job after losing 4 League of Nations (or whatever it is called, maybe it is Games of Thrones) games against Croatia and Spain. Sales of waistcoats plummet and people, including ladies, start shaving again. Beyond the world of sport, Britain crashes out of the EU without a deal and much to everyones amazement, everything goes swimmingly well. OK, people lose jobs, prices get more expensive and there is social disorder, but the sense of community fostered is quite terrific as finally the country is united around fires in streets with pitchforks in hands. Quick note to the entrepreneurially minded, start a pitchfork business now. I only ask for 15% share of the profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabrone Posted 23 July, 2018 Share Posted 23 July, 2018 We'll be bang in the middle in a dull but comfortable season. We'll score a lot more than last season as we finally have a manager that appreciates that you need to score goals in this league. Citeh to win the title and the champs league. Pool to spend most of the season whining about 'cheque book success' as Salah fires blanks. Bournemouth survive - just - as Brighton, Cardiff and Everton (would be hilarious) are relegated. Mark Hughes leaves Saints to become England manager at the end of the season and manages to persuade Gareth Bale (and FIFA) that he's really English and the whole Welsh thing was a bit of a misunderstanding.

Rebel Posted 23 July, 2018 Share Posted 23 July, 2018 The top 6 will stay the top 6, Citeh will be champions, Man Utd will win one of the cups and and Arsenal will win the other one. Spurs will win nothing again. Everton will finish 7th and Silva will be lauded - despite the fact they spent more money than anyone else outside the top 6. Leicester and Puel will do better than we hope - even without Mahrez - finishing in the top 10. Saints will be in the relegation battle again - as we will still lack a goalscorer and a solid defence - but survive again thanks to there being 4 worse teams. Burnley will do well in the Europa but struggle in the Premier League. Fulham and Wolves will finish above Saints. Bournemouth will finish mid table. West Ham will finally have a good season. Cardiff, Huddersfield, Palace (without Zaha) and Watford will be in the bottom 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 23 July, 2018 Share Posted 23 July, 2018 At some point Hughes will become embroiled in a handshake controversy And a fallout with a player who is then frozen out. Not necessarily Hughes fault, as with Boufal, but this thing does seem to be a trait of his management style. My guess for the sweepstake will be Lemina after under-performing once too often.

Daft Kerplunk Posted 24 July, 2018 Share Posted 24 July, 2018 I’d say 12th for us, and seeing the way opposition teams have sliced our defence like a hot knife through warm butter in pre-season and the official SFC video had an attacking player getting in a forward position that resulted in an easy clearance listed as a ‘chance’ this might be optimistic.

JRM Posted 24 July, 2018 Share Posted 24 July, 2018 I think we’ll struggle but will guess at 15th, hoping for an improvement in home form, we were far to easy to play against last season , such a shame that we’ve wasted money on a grand scale, big money players Boufal and Carrillo out on loan,Forster sat on the bench collecting a massive salary, I can’t really criticise Saints for not spending money , just some very bad decisions. Plenty of other teams that could also struggle next season , Huddersfield, Fulham, Brighton, Cardiff, Watford and Burnley will be bottom 3rd of the table along with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsdinho Posted 24 July, 2018 Share Posted 24 July, 2018 With the others on this one....think we will struggle again - Did a good job to keep us up, but not convinced in Mark Hughes. Just hope we enjoy some "good times", before the "bad times" kick in. - Players have left and not been adequately replaced. - We have not addressed the issues with the squad from the last couple of seasons - Our squad looks to be the worst for quite a few years. - Cant see where the goals required to stay up are going to come from, we seemed to be pinning our hopes on Austen staying fit all season. - Cant see us having too many clean sheets! - Steven Davis is still here and will get mins on the pitch for some reason. - Nathan Redmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st.bangkok Posted 24 July, 2018 Share Posted 24 July, 2018 Hughes will not last the season. Man City will win the league, with Liverpool second. The special one will walk away from OT.
