13. Southampton

Last season - 15th

The Premier League is becoming much of a muchness when it gets down to these placings and it is an important season for Saints and manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Danny Ings’ departure will hit them hard but Southampton were left with little choice after his refusal to sign a new contract with one year left. The loss of Ryan Bertrand deprives them of know-how at the back, although Hasenhuttl has high hopes for left-back Romain Perraud, a new arrival from Brest.

They still, however, have the class of James Ward-Prowse, while Adam Armstrong, who cost £15m from Blackburn Rovers, is expected to provide goals and threat.

Might be a bit of a glass half-full prediction this one. Saints need a good start.

And Norwich staying up. Nice one Phil.

Lolol :joy::joy:

When did that ever happen :rage::smile::smile:

…and when it did, we fucked up the rest of the season to compensate. :unamused:

Went for beers with a mate last night who supports Newcastle. He is deeply pessimistic about their prospects, reckons St Maximin is off.

Did he even LOOK at our early fixtures?

To be honest mate, did he even need to? 99 times out of 100 we get off to an absolute fucking stinker of a start.

I’m optimistic of a mid table finish.

I do not see this as being mediocrity.

When Citeh spend £100 million on one player and Sancho costs £76 million, it’s hardly a fair contest.
