Yes, it is another boring thread about the half way point in the season.
We are now 19 games into the season, and have played every team once, so I thought I would ask for your thoughts in relation to the first half of the campaign. Please answer from the categories below, and expand as much as you like.
Best Opposition Team that you have seen:
Best Individual Player:
Best Manager:
Best Goal:
Biggest Surprise (Good or Bad):
Your Prediction for Champions:
Your Predictions for the Top Four:
Your Prediction for Saints:
Your Predictions for Relegation:
I will start off:
Best Opposition Team that you have seen play Saints: Chelsea. Man City were superb, but I think we dropped off when Toby went into midfield. Chelsea have outstanding players in each position and I think they will be the most difficult team to beat this season.
Best Individual Player at St Mary's: Aguero, even if he dives for Penalties... Superb player, who can create and score goals. Hazard was also outstanding last week.
Best Manager: Ronald Koeman. Not being biased, but he had the toughest job over the summer - come in, steady the ship, and sign some players. Many so-called pundits tipped us for relegation, but Ronald has shown his managerial credentials and proved we may well have a shot at the European places. Sam Allardyce has also done very well, especially when you consider the pressure he was under last season. Sean Dyche another who deserves a mention.
Best Goal: Loved Pelle's goal against QPR, but I will actually go for Charlie Austin's strike. The control, and swivel was terrific.
Biggest Surprise (Good or Bad): Burnley have done well, as have West Ham, and of course Saints. But, I will go for Everton. They have been very, very poor this season in the Premier League.
Your Prediction for Champions: They lead the way now, and I think they will be difficult to get points off. Chelsea.
Your Predictions for the Top Four: Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd, Arsenal. I think Wenger will do it again somehow, but Saints will give it a good go.
Your Prediction for Saints: 6th. A superb season for Saints, with hopefully a nice run in the FA Cup.
Your Predictions for Relegation: Leicester, Burnley, Sunderland. Nigel Pearson has his work cut out at Leicester, despite a win against Hull. I see a lot of effort, but not enough quality. Burnley similarly, won't have enough, and Sunderland may sneak into the drop zone by not winning enough games.

). However, it stops there....tough to call after that as Liverpool and Spurs are coming into form...especially Liverpool. The good thing is that it is in our hands. Worst scenario 7th, best scenario 4-6th. What a great season this has been so far.
