I'm not certain about Chelsea, Arsenal or Liverpool...
Saurez may yet leave and the second season after success is always harder... Chelsea are losing two top players and Jose is in a sulk.. Arsenal are arsenal...
I think we now do have a top 5, but the top 7 seem to be pulling away into a mini league that Everton will do well to stick with unless they can get money...
Its why I feel for Pardew, basically Saints got above them other than that he did as well as could be expected, OK he had some horrid runs of results, but if they have been spread out, a few hammerings taken off, it'd be OK..
He's done a solid job, we all thought it was a strange appointment but I think he's done well.
