villarule123 Posted November 8, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 8, 2013 The Southampton situation shows that no matter how bad it can be, there's always a way out. Which worries me about what's happening to SHA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 The Southampton situation shows that no matter how bad it can be, there's always a way out. Which worries me about what's happening to SHA. Southampton are a much bigger club than SHA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 They'll hit their ceiling at some point, nothing like 1-2 half decent seasons to make fans big headed and bigger than everyone. Hell even the baggies think they are bigger than us because of 2 mid table finishes, let them enjoy it while it lasts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Apparently they will put 6 past Villa next month. Same person as above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I keep hearing predictions that Southamption will be top 10, maybe even top 8 this year? I don't see it myself. They've spent a lot but I'm not sure they've spent well. I'm predicting they'll struggle this year. But then, WTF do I know? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I think they'll spend again and kick on. They're quite enjoyable to watch so I don't mind them really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 They have really rode their luck with injuries so far this season, I don't think they have had a single player out yet. When some of their key players start picking up injuries, lets see where they are then. Basically they are riding the huge crest of a wave with the form of Lallana, Lambert and Shaw at the moment, but as soon as one or two of those players picks up an injury, I reckon they will start to struggle as outside their first XI, they are short on quality.

LondonLax Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 They have quite a good sized squad and have spent a lot of money but have spent well. That makes me think they are not as much of a flash in the pan, they won't finish third obviously but they are a good shout for 6th or 7th.

vandaq Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I like many of their players at the moment, cool team to watch. Shame about the fans though, but not really surprising. Maybe top 8 if they keep going, sure looks like it. Osvaldo at top is a little bit concerning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Lallana looks quite a player doesn't he. i am getting more optimistic about England's chances with players like him coming through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 For sure, looks like a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Lallana looks quite a player doesn't he. i am getting more optimistic about England's chances with players like him coming through Yeah they might make it through the groups stages with players like Lallana lining up.

Popular Post The_Rev Posted November 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'm not as down on Southampton as this post might sound, but the fixture list has been quite kind to them so far. They have had great results at Anfield and Old Trafford but they have faced a lot of shit too. Their results this season: beat West Brom (currently 9th, but had an awful start to the season) drew with Sunderland (currently 19th) lost to Norwich (currently 15th) drew with West Ham (currently 16th) beat Liverpool (currently 2nd) beat Palace (currently 20th) beat Swansea (currently 14th) drew with Man Utd (currently 8th) beat Fulham (currently 17th) drew with Stoke (currently 18th) beat Hull (currently 12th) So with almost a third of the season played they have played the teams who currently sit 20th, 19th, 18th, 17th, 16th, 15th, 14th & 12th. That's a lot of bottom half sides. On the other hand we have played the teams who currently sit 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th & 7th. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 They've had a very kind fixture list and have spent shit loads of money, they'll eventually slip away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 They will but still a top 10 standard team. 4 points at Anfield and Old Trafford after all. 3 of their next four are Chelsea and Arsenal away and Man. City at home so they will stop winning I'd imagine. Oh and us at home aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) If they spend £50m this season (which is possible given the rumours of a jan war-chest) then getting into the top 10 is really not a great achievement at all.

AvfcTheObsession Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 This season's West Brom. Will be great up until Xmas time, tail off in the second half of the campaign and finish about 8th/9th. No way I can see them coming above any of: Man U Man city Chelsea Arsenal Spurs Liverpool Everton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
