The league is wide open for teams outside the top 6 this season if they can show a bit of consistency. The ones who make better use of their resources are more likely to finish closer to the top 6, so Southampton will probably be one of them. We could finish anywhere from 9th to 15th IMO.
southampton haven't had the most difficuilt of starts. gets more difficuilt for them now looking at their upcoming fixtures. I'll be impressed if they are still top 4 come fa cup 3rd day.
They've played 11 of 19 opponents, including two of the 'top six'. Only lost once and won six.
Your post reminds me of what people said about us in 2011/12.
lets see what happens then.
We will, it just seems very churlish to deny them credit.
