    On the basis of our form post re-start we should be aiming for Europa, mid table minimum.

    Purely on our form post-restart we should be looking at Champions League.

    Such a pessimistic view.

    Should be aiming for the World Cup.

    Don’t lose to Burnley on the first day of the season. Then go from there.

    To survive handily while building a sustainable club with quality personnel behind the scenes.

    which likely also means that we need a buyer soonish

    FA Cup semi would be good
    Mrs S has never been to one of those

    Winning first game of the season would be a rare joy

    Winning the last home game also feels like a rarity, and we managed that for once. If we get off to a winning start, the optimism around the club will start to snowball

    More of a mention than usual ...

    Premier League: The best stats from the strangest season https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53553300

    My optimism is already snowballing ...

    but I can’t tell if that’s an even steeper slope or a cliff edge we’re heading towards

    Complete and utter domination of English football but that wasn't on the list so I went for top 10.

    Agreed. The new season will be remembered as the start of the Southampton Era.

    Absolutely and our players will be given nicknames which go down in legend:

    Alex "The Wall" McCarthy
    Oriol "El Carnicero de Santa Maria" Romeu
    Che "The Hitman" Adams
    Danny "The Magnificent" Ings
    Paolo "The Italian Jack Stephens" Maldini
    Pierre "What Might Have Been If He Stayed" Hojberg

    I think that is where we did well. We treated this as pre-season and played to empty stadiums and won matches. Heck, Che even scored for the first time since pre-season.

    Let's hope for no fans until about March when we are guaranteed a Euro spot at least.
