    Sorry Fats, i mean league. I'm not saying we'll get Europa but we need to be looking towards that if you believe "the Journey " hype we've been fed to date. If the club need to consolidate for a season or two then so be it but we seem quiet and a bit stagnant at the moment.

    Spending big isn't guaranteed even if we get a takeover but i feel we're more in a battle with Bournemouth, West Brom, Swansea than the Europa challengers. I will happily eat my words come May.

    I'm expecting 10-14th but with a better style.

    My worry is that if we put in a poor show against Sevilla and then go on to lose to Swansea, how long before the knuckle draggers begin their tirades?

    Depends who their tirade is against tbf. If it is against the manager then it would be stupid, if it is against the board for the way the transfer window has gone then they may have a point

    Just watched 'highlights' of last night. Totally different to being there, but the only difference seemed to be that Augsberg took every chance, whereas Saints did their usual hatful gone missing routine. Things can only get better as a well known warmonger once said. Blue writing that last bit before Jeremy's urban warriors bite back.

    But how are we supposed to spend the tv money without selling all our best players?

    I'd be more than happy with another top ten finish, possibly another cup run and the continuing development of players like JWP, Pierre, Boufal, Targett, Stephens, McQueen, Hesketh, Gallagher and Sims.
    Not qualifying for the EL cannot be seen as failure for a club of our size.

    Sevilla are a good team who last weekend demolished Arsenal, who are considered slightly better than SFC. It will be no disgrace losing to Sevilla, if it should happen.

    I watched the first half....both teams had good spells...then Augsberg scored an excellent goal.
    I would agree....which is why we needed a win/draw against Augsberg....not good to go into the season with 2 losses (from a fans POV anyway....I assume the players are more sensible :)).

    If those things happened, the board may do more than planned in terms of transfers :)
