Boro : A Saints view on the season.

Last updated : 15 August 2002 By
What are your hopes and expectations for the current season?

Saints are definetly one of a dozen or so clubs who will fill the lower part
of the table. However we are slowly progressing towards moving up into
persistant top ten contenders. Strachan has done a good job thus far and a
finish of 7th or 8th would be an excellent season.

Who will be your key player this season?

We're definitely a team unit without any real stars. Marsden will be
influential as always and we're always looking to Pahars to create up front.
Anders Svensson has a bit of pressure on him to repeat his World Cup form.

Who do you think Boro's key man will be on Saturday?

A lot rides on whether Southgate is fit. Your defence is pretty impressive
when he's part of it. Boksic should be the key going forward. He might not
be the scorer, but he will be the to watch out for, especially with a better
sqaud around him.

Prediction time, Result on Saturday?

We will win 2-0. My answer to the last question was a complete fabrication
and we'll win comfortably :-)

Where do you think the Saints and Boro will finish?

Saints: 7th or 8th (optimistically). 'boro: 7th or 8th is more a reality.

Who will be the champions?

I would have to say Arsenal, even if all their midfield are crocked:-)

Who will be relegated?

Everton, WBA and Birmingham.


Thanks alot to Christian Kelly from Onthecross for answering the questions.
