They will come... and they will come just when the time is right. I'm talking about the likes of those who chant and boo Adkin's out when we were 2-0 down to Leicester on 23 January 2012 this year. Also those who were constantly moaning when we are 3-0 up against Middlesborough - yes this was witnessed however unbelievable. This season's a hell of a lot more difficult but fans need to remember where we were, when the going gets tough, 2 years ago. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/7976473.stm http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/reports/reports0809/4347427.Nottingham_Forest_3_Saints_1/ Take this season as it comes, whatever happens. Even if it means returning 2 years later all the more stronger, then so be it. The set-up seems solid at Southampton FC, so all Saints fans should get behind the team whatever comes are way. Up the saints! My prediction is for a 15th place finish. What's yours?
Anywhere between 15 and 18 th. The last few weeks of the transfer market will tell us. I think we will be ok if we get a solid defender in and get some points early in the season. It is a tight league this year but I feel sure one or two of the new managers will not quite work out and hopefully we can take advantage. Getting excited now, with a slight tinge of nervousness!
The thing I'm a bit disappointed about is that we'll have to beat City by 6 clear goals to go top tonight. Not sure we'll manage that. We might have to wait until after the Arsenal game even to be in the Champions League spots.
